soft tinkling bells can be heard as if from a distance as a small shadow darts from wagon to wagon. Each wagon is well known to this shadow, upon the first wagons porch is set. Three large baskets filled with brightly wrapped bundles on one is marked Ubar, on another is Ubara and on the third is princess2 . In all three is found warm leather slippers lined with soft white larl furs. There is also new bath slippers and sweet scented oils for Ubara and the princess of white linen and lavender scent. For Ubar is a scent of the sea along with the rich musky scent of the forest. Three woven blankets for warmth are tucked into the baskets all bare a small ducky symbol with a tiny yellow feather in a corner. Three smaller baskets rest waiting for prism,flame and jade. These hold tarts and scarfs and mittens ....one a rainbow of colours, another the color of the fires that burn in the night, the last a pretty deep green hue ....the shadow moves on to the next wagon, only the bells are heard by the guards who just smile and nod to each other as they know the shadow well.....( to be continued)
