"When you were in utero, Princess Daphne, the queen sought out the Oracle to know what the future held for you.  But she was cruelly disappointed by the answers.  There were dire foretellings and unholy omens.  The Queen begged to know how to save you, and the Oracle told her that you couldn't be raised as royalty, that you must live a simple life until you were a woman.  Then all the men and beasts would praise you.(*)  So I have kept you here as a way to save you from misfortune.  But now you are a woman and you may return to your family.  To your mother especially who has waited all these years for your triumphant return."<br/><br/>"When you were brought to me, these items were placed in my care to be given to you for your return journey.  I was also to tell you that a guide would be provided to help you on your way.  Unfortunately, I was not told who the guide would be, or perhaps I have forgotten it after all these years.  If so, I am sorry my daughter for having failed you.  But I do remember that they would find you as you began your journey.  Perhaps even now, they are making their way towards your meeting place."<br/><br/>"Lastly, I have my own gift to you.  Years past, I knew this day would come.  I tried to save money to buy something nice for the journey, but always the money went for other things.  Finally, I visited a witch outside of town.  I pled my case with her and she agreed, for certain favors that I shall not recount here, to make me this."  Peter pulled out a handkerchief.  It was a rather plain looking handkerchief, yet mysteriously clean given the environment that it was in.  In opposite corners, both Daphne and Peter were stitched into the fabric.  As he handed it to Daphne, when both of their hands touched it at the same time, there was a slight flash and the fabric glowed slightly for a moment.  "This handkerchief is now infused with my love for you.  It will be there to comfort you in bad times.  If you find yourself lost in the darkness, without hope or help, you may say a prayer upon it and Love will find you.  You may only do this once, so do not do so until your need is greatest."<br/><br/>Peter stood and held his arms open for a final hug.  "Come Daphne, for now it is time for you to depart.  My last commands were to send you on the Eastern trail towards the Kirinis river, and that your guide would meet you there."<br/><br/>(*)I know that is not the exact prophecy - but Peter's memory ain't so good.
