Looks like they are putting on a disappearing act and still making their way to the palace gates.

Getting back to the story... The three of them are on their way to Carmarthen and their conversations they are having along the way. Not much is happening.

Now it's starting to come together. The man and woman from the traveling show are starting to ask him who he is he says he is Hawk. He had asked the man if he collected Oddities because he noticed the woman was not exactly normal as she could whistle every sound of birds he knew and didn't know. The man told him he was quite the oddity himself. He wasn't exactly normal to him. That he was welcome to come with them.

This chapter is kinda weird it was very hard to understand it's about the wagon and that situation with the apples and a woman who is with the man who gave Hawk the apples that he apparently still owed him. When he said he owed him nothing as he gave him the coin.

He left the place where the man bled out he cried for him but not for his first family. He went on to another town. This is a scene right out of Aladdin in the marketplace they think the boy is stealing which he now goes by Hawk as he left his old life as Merlin this is what the man he just met called him after he told him a new name. He was almost caught for stealing apples but he paid the man and got 2 apples.

Just when Merlin thinks things got better suddenly more bad things happen. He came into this new place treated like a thief, he changes his name after Merlin doesn't want to tell him the name he got from his old family. Now this new man that has come into his life and is bucked off by his horse and is now on the ground bleeding from his head. He suddenly starts to cry this is beginning to be a little too much for him

All of this happening was he traveling and had he found a new place had he come upon a man who was cooking a rabbit and had a dog who was about to attack. Something happened to the man because he went down and was now bleeding but did it really happen suddenly near the end here it's as if this was a dream Merlin was dreaming. What was the meaning of it?

On the way he ate the rest of his chicken because he was coming upon a place like a village. There should be food and things he was need there. He was now in some place new this was a place he didn't recognize he smelled smoke there.

How sad I thought Merlin was carrying the dog and woman to safety it turns out the whole family was killed in the fire. Now, he had to make a new life for himself. He was now on his own he took what was left so that he could survive on the chickens the eggs he ate before he left as he cooked them in the flames of the house. He took the horse and the cow with it and was off on a new journey it was time to leave.

The next book starts but there is a small introduction it looks like there is a fire that started in the house. There is no explanation yet but Merlin helps to bring a dog and woman to safety.
