You’ve done it … this is it … this is the answer we’ve been looking for … Brob, go run for your da … we have to go see the king to tell him what you’ve done … King Cormoran will surely give us an audience once he hears of an unknown garden and a new up-and-coming Greensgrower … a Greensgrower in the family of a banished Giant … who would have ever imagined?… we’ll be the talk of the kingdom … now, we need to keep you safe from the Winter Spirits, my precious boy … you’ll stay here while your da and I head back to the palace … don’t shake your head at me, boy … we can’t risk you … not when you’re the only thing keeping us alive … and I don’t trust your da to convince the king alone … you’ve always been independent, Brob … you’ll be fine here on your own … of course, there’s the chance the king won’t believe us … but he’s sure to be curious enough to send a scouting party out … he wouldn’t risk losing an undiscovered garden to the Humans … you stay here and wait … and practice your magic … the king will need to see your abilities with his very own eyes … this gift of yours—I was almost starting to think you lied … imagine that, a mum doubting her own son … but here it is … a real live sapling … this changes everything!
