TREY:

… The teddy bear wants to give Meg a great, big hug.

HARMONIA:

Aw daddy, watching you with Meggie just tickles me. 

She sure has you wrapped 'round her little finger.

TREY:

You know I can't resist the ladies, no matter what their age. 

HARMONIA:

It's good to see ya having some daddy daughter 

time together. Ya'll best enjoy it while ya can.

TREY:

That's my plan. I'm not happy about 

leaving all of you, but I must do what I must.

HARMONIA:
We understand. Xyla's gone and found ya another place

to go dig up your magical items. Why anyone would want

to be knee deep in some ol' dirt pile escapes me, but I know 

you'll find lots of in'eresting things. I saw it in one of my dreams.

TREY:

That's a good omen. You know my work is very important to me. 

It gives this magically enhanced long life of mine a real purpose.

HARMONIA:

'Course it does. It's just … you'll be missed. 

No gal likes to be without her daddy for too long.

TREY:

That does sound like something she'd do.

HARMONIA:

And don't you worry 'bout nothin'. We'll find that book on vampires 

that ya'll been looking for, I just know it. I saw it ya know, in a

dream. It's red with a black binding and has Qualina's initials on it.

HARMONIA:

… Ya know, in the wrong hands that thing could be dangerous 

- to vampires I mean.

HARMONIA:

… There's a potion in there that can make one of them blood suckers

need a feeding so badly - they may just go right out of their mind.

HARMONIA:

… 'Course you'd need to know how to work the potion and all.

HARMONIA:

… But if it's made right - it would be completely undetectable to 

anyone. It couldn't harm a person either. Probably taste 

pretty darn good too - if it were to be mixed with some tea.

TREY:

That's pretty specific Harmonia. How do you know all that?

HARMONIA:

Told ya, I've been having dreams. They don't always make much

sense to me, so I tell Lu. She can make heads or tails of 'em.

TREY:

I'm confidant that your sister will know what to do.

HARMONIA:

Uh-huh. Oh look, 'Sleeping Beauty'. Daddy will ya

read this one to Meggie and me, please?

TREY:

It'll be my pleasure.

'Once upon a time, there lived a king and queen ….'

Later in the kitchen ...

ZYFAN:

Mmmm iced tea. I think it is flavored too.

ZYFAN:

… Perhaps Karanthir would like some.
