Growing ever closer to the water fall at the end of the path, Marie and I next encounterd a pair of mushrooms newlyweds, at which some forest creature had been nibbling. Or, perhaps, they had been nibbling at each other. It made no difference to our mission nor to us, personally.

We did learn one interesting piece of information, though; the queen's two unmarried sisters were in the vicinity just north of here. The mushrooms oriented a four-leaved plant like a compass and directed us on our way.
