As soon as it is opened and Orlando's eyes alight on the image of his beloved, he breathes a sigh of relief and tears spill from his eyes."Thank you" he says simply, taking the locket and gazing at the image. "I remember now. The horned one ... Kalbon,  and the hag Soryth and her blue skinned fiends captured us almost as soon as we emerged from the Crystal Cave. It must have been three or four days ago. The villains took us to a hidden place and held us prisoner for a day, maybe two. Then the fiend bound us and took us to a garden house on the palace roof. The hag started to sing strange words, but soon after, a green giant rushed into the room alongside numerous fey. I got free during the struggle... and then ... and then my memory fails me again." For the first time he regards you with clear eyes."The hag and her fiend seek to take control of my Garden. They have realised that by absorbing the sleeping souls of my wife and myself without destroying them they could, for all intents and purposes as far as the laws of the island are concerned, become us.The wards I laid upon our tombs prevented them from taking both souls completely. To avoid setting off the strongest wards, they absorbed only a small part of each of our souls. Thus, the villains gained an imperfect control over the isle. The hag learned that to complete her vile work, she needed the souls of two other lovers, one human and one fey, like ourselves.With such victims, Soryth could combine all four souls, absorbing enough of us to command the island, with enough left over to fill the tomb with sleeping souls to fool my wards.Soryth used her powers and my secret crossing in the Crystal Cave to send forth dreams into the minds of suitable lovers. Orlando. Juliana.I know I should be dead alongside Caerwyn. But my soul inside Orlando ... and Kalbon. But enough talking. You say the witch has Juliana still. Then she has Caerwyn too. We must rescue her!"</blockquote>
