Synopsis:

Locke and Marrick are parents who are scared for their daughter Arabella. Taken by the druids, Arabella is appearing in court on accusations of thievery. Her parents have no doubt that she is guilty but they are terrified for her and trying to get to her.

Marrick hides his concern throughout with anger and threats of violence. It is easier to deal with fury then it is to temper fear. Locke is more level-headed but no less close to violence.

Marrick and Locke are both at the entrance to the inner grove and the sacred pool and have just been denied entry.
