We made it to Harfang last night after quite a bit of stumbling around in the snow. While we were wandering around, Pole fell down into a trench that led to absolutely nowhere. I wanted to have a good look around, because some of our surroundings seemed like they could possibly be a giant’s ruined city but the Children insisted we keep on to Harfang. Looking back now, I see I should have forced them to stay and look around.
Once we got to Harfang, the giants invited us in and gave us something to drink; it tasted all right, but I don’t remember much after drinking it except that the giants kept calling me Froggy. I feel certain that there was something vile in there; I’m expecting to turn into some sort of unnatural creature at any minute.
After I drank that, the next thin I remember is waking up in an extremely large room with a rather bad headache. I found Scrubb and together we found Pole’s room. We climbed up on the windowsill and saw two of the signs we’ve been looking for right below us. Should have figured we’d muff it if we let ourselves get distracted because that’s exactly what happened. We were right in the ruined city the night before, and in the pavement in the city we could see written “UNDER ME;” that trench Pole fell in was an “E.”
Now we have to try to leave the giants and go back to the city in order to find a way to get under the city. Chances are, though, that they won’t let us leave; they seemed too happy to have us here. We’ll have to contrive a way to escape here.
