A New Encounter with Freddy the Scarecrow
Facing her stood Freddy the Scarecrow — the very same one she had once met not far from the Ghost Mansion.
Entrance to HeinoLand Park
The squirrels quickly lined up around her, and another bushy-tailed one snapped photos with a shiny camera. Not even a minute had passed, and already a large crowd of curious onlookers had gathered. Everyone was gasping and pointing at Anne.
Souvenir Shop
Firecurl stared into the shop window and… froze. From a huge poster inside, her own face glared back at her — twisted into an ugly, threatening grimace.
Souvenir Shop
Червенокоска се вгледа във витрината и … зяпна. От огромен плакат насреща я гледаше собственото ѝ лице, разкривено в грозна, заплашителна гримаса.
The Show Theater
Anne felt her vision darken. Without thinking of the consequences, she leapt from her seat and rushed toward the stage. Pouchy tried to hold her back, but couldn’t — nothing could stop Anne in moments like this.
The Mississippi Dock
Fortunately, the path she was running along really did lead them to a small wooden jetty, in front of which a charming little steamboat was puffing gently — complete with a tall black smokestack and large paddle wheels on either side.
The Underwater Dwelling
The sight that opened before her eyes struck her so deeply she stood frozen in place. She was in a vast underwater cave — so enormous that, despite the abundant light coming from somewhere above, its end disappeared into a greenish-yellow murk.
Back on Dry Land
Firecurl barely managed to scramble ashore, collapsed onto the sand, and lay still. A long time passed that way. When she finally came to, the first morning rays were just beginning to light up the treetops.
The Transformed Swamp
Anne’s fears were confirmed — unpleasant surprises awaited them at every turn. The Orchid Meadow had been cut through by numerous paths, the swamp was ringed with several bridges, and Grandpa Hedgehog’s little mill had been turned into part of a large swimming complex.
A New Encounter with the Eagles
The two friends jumped in fright and turned to see who was speaking. Opposite them stood a huge young eagle, eyeing them mockingly. He was dressed in faded jeans and a T-shirt whose color was impossible to identify.
The Citadel
A bit farther upstream, about two or three hundred meters away, rose a massive concrete wall — so imposing in its colossal proportions that it seemed to be straining to overshadow the entire sky.
The Site of the Aerial Battle
The early morning haze suddenly filled with the shadows of attackers — one, two, three... Anne stopped counting. They were the owls from the camp’s security force — individually much weaker than the powerful eagle, but together surely very dangerous.
The Prison Camp
The group of prisoners gathered in front of a small wooden barrack, which was clearly their sleeping quarters. Though they were all more or less in rags, their backs were not bent, and their heads were not bowed in submission.
Heino’s Disgrace
Heino looked around wildly. It was too late to run — the magic would surely strike him down before he could take more than a few steps. Ah, how cruel that dog-head girl was, toying with him like a cat with a mouse.
