Elsewhere.. Let us meet the other prince, Prince Berwyn. Oh how he found himself in a sticky situation!

Prince Berwyn awoke not knowing where he was. It was dark out. If he had to think, he remembered he drank some freshly brewed tea and then had been in his garden earlier to take some time alone. All of a sudden he was ambushed, and despite his best efforts to fight off the intruder, he felt faint and weak and then blacked out. The tea. Something was in it.

It took a moment for him to assess the situation, but he knew he had been kidnapped. He heard a noise. Curious, he focused intently on the sound (sight obviously was not in his advantage because of the darkness). He could make out some talking in the background, and from the sounds of it, it was getting louder.

“YOU DUMB DWARF!”

“HEY!! WATCH YOUR WORDS! You made your wish! You wanted to marry a prince, and I brought a prince over!”

“Are you blind? That’s just a stupid teddy bear! I demand you to give back my money!!”

??, thought Berwyn.

“No can do! As you can see here,” there was a Poof! sound, “there are no refunds! You should have read the contract more thoroughly before you signed.”

The woman made a loud angry sound and stomped away. Her footsteps were getting louder and louder and the area was getting brighter as she was heading towards the Prince.

“LOOK WOMAN! How he became like that, I don’t know.” yelled back the dwarf, (he also said that he did not care either under his breath), “But, that is the prince! Besides, I snuck into the palace and kidnapped him! That counts as part of the labor service!”

As the woman came closer with her lamp, Berwyn noticed how different the world looked. It was all dark before so he hadn’t noticed, but now, with the light, he could see how big everything were to him. The humans were big, the trees even more gigantic. Then, abruptly, he felt himself being snatched and lifted up…

Wait. Wait! He tried to call out that was quite hard...then he caught a glimpse of his own arms. Oh...I’m a bear?! A teddy bear!! And then he went flying into the air.

“TAKE THIS BEAR AND YOUR STUPID LIES ELSEWHERE, DWARF!!” The woman yelled after throwing Berwyn at the dwarf. Luckily, the Dwarf caught him, bearly (lol, a pun!).

“FINE!!!” was the response, as the dwarf stomped away too.

Berwyn could hear the woman yelling one final time, “GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!”

The dwarf was thinking about money and how to get rid of the Prince. He did not want to further entangle himself into royal matters. Hmm, he knew a shop that might buy this bear from him. The Dwarf hurried along, humming (at least he made some money), eager to get further away from the city and sell the teddy bear. He was, after all, interested in making more money as fast and as soon as possible. Besides he did not want to get involved with a missing prince.

Go Dwarf, go! Erase the evidence!
