Chapter Four: Queen Sorcha
Fionn stepped inside, not knowing what to expect. The Royal House was just a long hall with a red carpet spread across the floor of the room and at the end of the hall sat the Squirrel Queen on her throne with two other squirrel guards at her side. Fionn walked behind Aidan and when Fionn saw the Squirrel Queen up close. She was rather fair and she was wearing a leaf tiara and white robe with blue designs on it.
“So this is Fionn, son of Ferdinand,” the Queen said in a soothing and gentle voice. “My gracious, you’re the spitting image of him!”
Fionn became bewildered. “Wait, how do you know my father’s name?”
Aidan struck Fionn on the head. “You insulant mouse!” he shouted. “Address her as “your majesty” or “your
When the Emperor and his wife heard this news, they tried to protect their son from Malus and his falcons (who chose to be his followers) but it was too late because Malus was one step ahead of them and they were murdered. But the Emperor’s brother, a very skilled warrior, fought off Malus and managed to escape with the Emperor’s Son.

“How can you possibly say that Sorcha?” asked Fionn like she just said something foolish. “I have no chance to defeat a warrior as great as your brother!”
Sorcha could see how doubtful and pessimistic the young mouse was but she continued to encourage him to have hope. “You will beat him because you have been trained by the best. You were trained by Cael the Sword Master. Did I forget to mention that your Uncle Cael is the greatest sword fighter and sword maker in Tara? And he even made the Blade of Tara for his brother, Ferdinand as a symbol of his courage and authority.”
Fionn felt somewhat better now that Sorcha told him that he was trained by a great teacher as Cael but he was still very doubtful. Also for some reason Fionn felt a connection to Queen Sorcha because even though he had just met her, he felt like they were sort of connected to each other since she obviously knew a lot about his father, uncle and his family and she was very close to them and she seemed to care a lot about Fionn. In fact, Sorcha felt like kind of a mother figure to
