"Xandra's Game" (3)

"WARNING  -  ORC !"

I, Xandra, Queen of Tintagel,
have been spending time
in the ruins
of Tintagel Castle.







Today I was enjoying
a picnic
up on the slopes
overlooking the beach.








But, WARNING !

An orc was seen,
heading up the slope
to hide in the ruins !

It's the same orc,
that I escaped from.

And the same orc
that stole my daughter's baby.
That baby may yet still be alive.

Christmas Eve,
I was on the beach,
and escaped,
back in time,
through a momentary portal
in Merlin's Cave,
to this time
when the nunnery is thriving.

Somehow,
the orc has followed me!
