In TV Series Discussion Season 2
These are my thoughts (this is kinda late) on S2.
1. I like S2 much better than S1, I felt they stuck closer to the story line
2. I wish they hadn't started of with Kal saying, "call me Kalmar," because I felt when he tells the stranders his name is Kalmar it is an important scene that doesn't have as much meaning.
3. I wish Claxton had bugs in his beard, kinda a weird wish but it was one of the things that stuck in my mind about him.
4. The Fork! Factory! is amazing I love all the signs, my siblings and I had fun pausing the show and reading them.
5. The FS✨️ he was done perfectly we laughed a lot.
6. This is a very small scene in the book but we love it but they didn't put it in, Oskar grabbing a sword and spinning, killing fangs, I feel like it wouldn't have taken much time to add it in there and would have added a lot of humor
7.
8. The cliffhanger were they show the fang... I really hope that's not how Kalmar looks as a fang
I am excited for S3 Can't wait.

We are in the Carriage all day picking up kid after kid. Many of the kids are sobbing silently or bawling loudly. I try my best to calm them down, reassure them with promises that everything will be ok (though I know they are empty and don't mean anything) and lull them to sleep. I am soon found in the midst of 4 sleeping children, in all there are 6 of us crammed in the Carriage.
“Wren?” Julie taps my shoulder, “are we going to be okay? I know I've been acting brave and confident but I've been scared to death.”
“You’re doing better than me, but yes we will be OK cause in the end at least we are together,” I say kindly.
“I know but I just can't shake the feeling that this is all my fault.”
“Well that's because it is your fault.”
“Hey! Doesn't make me feel better!”
“But I don't blame you. After all, I didn't stop you from convincing me to go to Torrboro.”
“I should have known better,” she says despairingly.
“You know in Annierain culture everyone in the royal family has roles dependent on when they were born, why don't we pretend we are annerian. Since I’m the oldest..” Julie interjects,“By 3 minutes!”
“Well by the rules of being twins I'm still older, so I would be the Throne Warden, in charge of keeping you, The High Queen, safe from others and Yourself. As well as keeping others safe from you.”
“That sounds like an awful job for You but really fun for me, and since I'm the queen I get to boss you around. Hey, what about Ki, what would he be?”
“Well since he's the youngest out of the three kids in our family he would be the Song Master. He would sing songs of Anniera, and be a master of the songs.”
“He does love music.”
Soon Julie has drifted off, I have never been able to sleep in moving vehicles, and I'm left wondering how Ki is doing. A week ago he was a happy rambunctious song-filled 6 year-old but then we left for Torrboro. We left a small note telling our mother and Ki where we were going and that we would be back soon. How did they respond to that? Is Ki missing us or thankful to have our mother to himself? At the time, I was angry at my mother for not letting me go out with friends and it didn't take much for Julie to convince me to go. Now I worry I will never see them again. After all, we are in the Black Carriage, and now I see I should have at least told Ki we were leaving in person.
When the sun starts to set, we reach Dugtown and ride into town. We reach the place to pick up the last few children and the fangs riding jump out. The fangs collect the children, a young girl, a teenage girl and a young boy, and start them toward the Carriage. I’m focused on the young girl who has tears streaming down her face when I hear a thump on top of the Carriage and then something comes down on the fangs, just missing the kids. The fangs fall backward and lose their grip on the fangs. A man has jumped down from the top of the Carriage and onto the fangs he now stands tall with a sword in hand. “Tis I the Florid Sword!”
He slashes his sword through the air and then quickly dusts the two fangs that were escorting the children. He walks toward us in the Carriage and opens the door. The Florid Sword addresses me and says, “I assume you are in charge.”
“I guess, but I don't know what to do with 4 little kids, not counting the ones over there.”
“Back to their house they can goeth but another matter these children are, I'm not sure what to doeth with them.”
“They can stay with me, I just need to get back to Glipwood, where my family is.”
“Best of Luck for you… what was your name?”
“Wren, like the bird.”
“Best of luck Wren, like the bird. I must go now! Best of nights for you!” With that he bounds away, somehow gets on the roof and runs away on the roof and out of sight.
I'm not sure what the title should be please give me suggestions my brother recommended The Wrenfeather Saga. please give me any suggestions, ideas or comments you may have. thank you!

This is a rough draft so if you have suggestions ideas or something like that please tell me.
Leaves crunch under our feet as we run for our lives from a toothy cow. “Quick up this tree,” I yell to Julie. We scramble up the tree, panting, I ask, "How did we get into this mess?”
“Well, it could be because we lit a fire.”
“Or because you wanted to have an adventure.”
“OK, yes, I'm sorry but I wanted to see Torrboro.”
The toothy cow growled below us, pawing at the tree. Since we weren't going anywhere for a while, I started to get comfortable and evaluate our supplies. I say to Julie, “Why? Torrboro is crawling with Fangs.”
“I know, I know but Lydia told me that Torrboro's buildings look like cats, and I wanted to see.”
Soon, the cow leaves and we are able to get out of the tree. We head toward Torrboro (because I'm a pushover) encountering a few flabbits, a couple of thwaps and the lone Fendril. The lone Fendril means it was the beginning of fall. We walk for a while in silence until we hear voices, we look at each other, then start toward the voices. We peek through the bushes, careful to be quiet. “Nobody's dropping any weapons-” says a big, older man. A knife is thrown by a girl that is about 12, and lands in the man's peg leg. We look at each other and grin. Soon we are following them back to their camp, making sure to keep a safe distance from them.
Once they get to the camp we hide in the bushes between two trees. We watch as the girl walks toward a man, who was mean-looking and very dirty. The man and her talked for a minute. Then the girl took the man who she threw the knife at and tied Him up. The older man was with a thin woman, an older, roundish man, a boy around 12, a boy who looked around 11, and a small girl maybe 9 who had a crutch and a twisted leg. The girl tied them all up. I suddenly felt bad them, who knew what would happen to them? I started to get up but Julie grabbed my shoulder and leaned in to tell me, “I think this is a Strander Clan.”
“What?,” I cry as quietly as I could, “aren't strangers dangerous? This is a bad idea.”
“It’ll be fine,” Julie says with a shrug. Then a ragged voice I don't recognize speaks, “What will be fine.” “Umm, I-i was ju-sttt um, um wa-as l-leav-ving,” I managed to say, looking around in fright. “Oh no, don't leave just yet, we haven't even eaten yet.” A strander materializes from the bushes. Julie and I jump up and try to sidle away but a huge strander appears and grabs us. He takes us to some cages and tells the big guy to put us in the cages. The strander throws us in the cage and locks us in.
As soon as they leave I turn to Julie and say, “this is not fine.” Julie says, “Well no, but..”
“But what, we are in a cage, a Strander cage, we can’t help those people they captured, and we haven even had dinner yet!” I start to cry, and Julie says, “Hey, I know this isn't the best situation but at least we are together, they could have put us in separate cages.” She ruffles through our packs and says, “and we still have some flabbit left so we can at least have dinner.” I wipe my eyes, take some of the flabbit and thank her. We sit in silence for a little while and eat our flabbit. Finally I say, “ I’m sorry, I wanted to follow them just as much as you did, neither of us could have known that they were stranders.”
“ I'm sorry too, maybe we shouldn't have tried to go Torrboro by ourselves.”
“We are 16, I think we both thought we could handle but I do think it would have been best if we could get someone with more knowledge about the forests to come along with us.”
We sit for a little while chatting, when a strander comes by and offers us some water and says, “You'll be get'in some roommates soon. Don't bother ‘em with your cry’in, that's right I heard ya, but don't worry you'll be just fine I've heard the Carriage has mighty comfy seats,” he says with mock kindness. After he leaves, I start to panic “Julie we can't take a ride on the Black Carriage, people don't come back after being taken by the Carriage, ever! What are we going to do?”
“One we are NOT going to panic, two umm… break out?” She shrugs, and half-heartedly tugs on the bars. I start to pace around the cage trying to figure out a solution.
After not coming up with anything for a hour I collapse to the floor trying not to cry. I pull my jacket around me and put my head on my knees and say, “it's hopeless we are going to be taken by the Carriage. I never thought it would actually happen but it will. At least I know it's coming and can mentally prepare.” Julie comes and sits down next to me. “I will find a way out. In the meantime why don't you get some sleep.” I decide to try to take her advice and lay down. I fall asleep to her tugging on bars, jiggling the lock and feeling all around the cage.
I wake up to Julie shaking me awake, “Get up now, hurry!”
“Five more minutes.”
“No get up the Black Carriage is coming.” That wakes me up immediately and I can tell she's right by the abundance of crows in the area. I jump up and ask, “Did you find a way out?” Julie looks at her feet and says in shame, “No. I’m so sorry! I was up all night and couldn't find a single weak spot, stranders really know how to make cages! I'm so, so sorry!”
“It's okay, it's okay” I say reassuringly, “ but what are we going to do?”
“I was thinking about that, I'm pretty sure the fangs really like it when we kick and scream and cry. So we can at least not let them have any fun, so stay as calm as possible, walk straight up to the Carriage and walk right in.”
“So we are just going to give up?”
“Yes, what else can we do, we could run but I'd rather not get bit by a fang or you get bit by a fang. Here they come act normal and calm.”
The Carriage comes way too quickly and all the rumors are true. This is the worst day of my life. The Strander I assume is the chief comes and unlocks our cage and a green fang walks right up to us and grabs our arms and yanks us out of the cage. I trip on the edge of the cage and let out a yelp. The fang kicks me and I scramble up. I glance at Julie, who looks straight ahead with a bored expression. I try to match her and the fang grabs my arm. He pulls us straight to the Carriage and pushes us toward the door, I take a deep breath and start up the stairs but to my surprise I am yanked back and I fall again. I fall back onto the ground. It's all I can do to not cry out in pain.
The fang starts taunting Julie, and tells her, “you are so brave please go in before to make sure there's no scary thwaps in there. I am terribly afraid of them.” Julie walks up the stairs and climbs into the Carriage. Just as she walks up the last step the Fang cruely pushs her onto the floor of the Carriage. I make my way off of the ground and get into the Carriage.
“Well that Did not go as planned,” Julie says ruefully. "Nope,” I say.

Mine is definitely Thorn and Leeli. Thorn is so funny when it comes to their relationship. Is your favorite Sara and Janner, Thorn and Leeli or someone else?
