The Garden, Saturday Afternoon

Karla wasn't surprised when she woke up and couldn't find her Mommy or Daddy. They were often gone for hours and hours and hours, doing important Court stuff. What was weird was that she didn't recognize anyone in the castle, and there didn't seem to be any servants around to feed her.

So, rather than stay in the room she'd woken up in (also not her room--had they caught the Winds after she'd fallen asleep?) Karla had decided to go looking for people. Someone had to be taking care of her, right?

Her search had lasted right until she'd gone outside and found the garden. It was a good garden, filled with lots of healthy looking plants and deep, rich soil.

The perfect kind of soil for mud. Specifically, mud pies.

Karla forgot all about trying to find someone. Instead, she was sitting in the center of the garden, spattered with mud, patting the mud into rough pie shapes and decorating them with pretty rocks and leaves.

[Open! Come and get dirty!]

"Knights are... they wear armor and protect people." Not that he'd ever seen one. "And princesses sit in towers and wait for princes to marry."

"If you're a queen, where's your crown?" Queens had them, you see. It was very important.

"But that makes you a princess! You should have a crown too."

"What about kings then?" Merlin was just forced to ask.

"Like a queen, but a man," Merlin replied helpfully. "We got one back home, but mum says he's too busy to notice out town."

"Ohhh." Merlin had no idea what that meant, but it sounded smart. "How come there's two queens then?"

How else will you know they're Important?

"'s what a king rules over. Whole buncha land."
