Status Updates From The Princess and the Goblin

Reading this again while I translate it into a script.

"That is the way fear serves us: it always sides with the thing we are afraid of."

A light shone on their path and only Lootie did not know its source. The next day Curdie and the miners went to work makng draining tunnels and clearing out the dead goblins. Some golblins escaped. The fierce ones left. The mild ones stayed and became milder. The creatures were killed because they were too vicious.

The king is disappointed but asks Curdie for a wish to be granted and it is a red petticoat for his mother. RED. The miners provide a place for the servants to stay. The king, Irene, and his guards ride home to his castle. Irene promises to return the following summer.
