Strange Storm

"I fear I am shipwrecked here."

"Not to worry. Let me send out Rover for your food."

The dog starts to wander across the island. Sylvia kneels and rubs sticks together as if to prepare a fire, though in a manner Fred does not understand.

As Fred stands there watching, the sky suddenly darkens. Lightning flashes across the sky. He looks at the sky. Suddenly a bolt strikes near him, slamming him to the ground. He looks up. Sylvia comes over and picks him up. Fred is amazed that she is unscathed, as he thought it struck her.

"That was close," explains Sylvia, "I've been her for several years. These come up all the time. Let's get shelter."

As Sylvia walks with him, Fred notices a glimmer about her that he did not notice before. She must be some sort of enchantress, but why was she placed on this island? They soon arrive at a cave where Rover is sitting, wagging his tail. Sylvia digs in the ground and uncovers some clothing. It begins to rain heavily.

"Look," she says, they buried it. I can't believe they buried it!" She takes it out the clothing and brings it down to a nearby pool to wash it. Soon she is back. Dressed, she looks like a lady of nobility in dirty clothing.

1. Fred recognizes her as a great enchantress.
2. Sylvia stops the storm.
