Old Noddy was not in his garden.
“Well Rinna, what do you suggest we do?” Cherry asked.
Rinna looked around. “I know he has a library! He let me borrow a book once.”
“All right, let’s go.”

The two elves flipped through pages and volumes of books. Rinna kept getting distracted by the intricate bindings and exotic titles.
“Something helpful would be good to find,” Cherry said as Rinna pulled out Aqueous Animals.
“Of course,” Rinna put it back, causing another book to fall.
“Cherry!”
“What?”
“Does Historic Royal Escapes sound helpful to you?”
“Yes!” Cherry took it and flipped through. Illustrations of everything from summer camps to romantic beaches covered the pages.
“This looks promising,” Rinna pointed to a picture of a mountain.
“I guess the winter royals don’t have much in the way of ‘escapes’.” Cherry said as she looked at the picture. White walls and light wooden flooring with little in the way of opulence greeted her.
“At least we have a destination!” Rinna said, pointing to an annotation in the margin: Wynter’s place when she wants to be alone.

“Your highness, our search parties were unsuccessful. I am sorry.”
Princess Autumn raised her head, revealing puffy, bloodshot eyes. “Keep looking. She is out there somewhere.”
“Your highness,” the guard bowed, and left.
Princess Autumn sighed. Going without sleep was not good for her attitude. Every hour, another need appeared, and she grew angrier at Wynter. She massaged her temples and sighed again. There is work to be done.
