We are back at the church on a Sabbath afternoon. Morris and the young man we know as Earth Prince administer the sacred emblems. The young woman we know as Water Princess sits in the congregation with her parents and Ceridwen. When the sacred service is complete and the lay sermons begin, Morris and the young man join the four on their pew.
Between short sermons, Water Princess whispers something to Earth Prince. He looks disappointed, but nods. After the services, Water Princess leaves with her parents and Earth Prince stays behind for his meetings.
As they leave the chapel her mother reaches out and takes her by the shoulder, drawing her close. "I don't understand why you insist on not knowing each other's real names, Honey. And wouldn't it be nice to meet his friends?"
"I don't want to break the spell, Mom."
Her parents exchange a meaningful look, but her father shakes his head. "Our princess needs to do this her way, I think."
