Status Updates From The Princess and the Goblin

"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.

Oh, wow! Then a white pigeon flies toward them and makes three circles. One around the king, then around Curdie, and then the princess. The light and pigeon vanish. Curdie runs to the house to get a fur to keep Irene warm. There are dead goblins everywhere, the victims of their own plot. The king requests of his parents to take Curdie with him to train to be a guard. Curdie does not want to leave his parents.
