Homar's Forest

This is chapter 9 of 'Windows on Our World, Part 1: Hope' by Les Bill Gates.

The chapter opens with an attack by cougars that causes Squire to use his shield once more. The twins, until now apprentice wizards, are initiated as wizards.

Helge learns the news that Alvin has been captured by the enemy. She sets off with Wim to seek help from Yohan and the Telekai to arrange a rescue mission.

The rest of the company travel to Homar's Forest in search of the next tooth. The forest has a reputation as a dark and forbidding place and Homar is reputed to be a fearsome Minotaur. Will Homar turn out to be a fierce animal or a friendly being?

And, what is Jippers trying to steal, and why?
