He brings along a mysterios woman who reveals the truth of Estras past and influences her future in a way Estra never planed.

After reading chapter 9 of The Wondering and Warnings of Hrothbert and Winifred, Marwynn Fenwick begins crying and tells Caia that she has too heavy a burden to carry alone. She asks if there’s anyone Caia can trust. Caia says her brother Kedron Gatrell and one changeling in Blightfen Val La Puchelle who didn’t try to kill her.   Marwynn agrees to contact Caia’s brother Kedron Gatrell. Kedron reveals that he’s found information, and he’s been looking for her. He makes the trek from Astrafell over a few days and brings someone Caia does not recognize. Kedron says, “I’ve found out much information because of this person. I believe you should become aquanted” The woman is crying and says, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”   Kedron says, you understand it’s hard to find information about changelings, they are by nature secretive. With all that, he has found there are two factions of changelings. This is primarily why it is so hard to get reliable information. While he was uncovering more and more. This person revealed themself. The woman then speaks, “I just want to help Estra. We’re beyond secrecy right now.”   The woman says she has been a member of a rebellious changeling group called The Unwritten trying to stop The Progeny of Mirrors. She has been a member her whole life.   She says "Estra I am your sire, or as you may understand your mother" The woman then changes into Daisy, a Luxadon who tutored and taught Estra back at Castle Gatrell. She says when the daughter of the king was still-born, she took the opportunity to place Estra somewhere she would be hidden and protected. The rebellion has been doing everything they can to make sure that changelings can be protected from The Mirrors. Within the Mirrors are factions within factions and they don’t know who each other are and that’s how the Traveler wants it. It was lucky that you have been able to uncover there holy book. The Unwritten rebellion has not been able to access the Book until now.   Kedron says, "I believe we need to go our father Victor Gatrell and get him to start a crusade to end the slaughter and infiltration. You can take your place back as princess and daughter and live your life. I am sure your family will welcome you back." Daisy reveals she tried to get Estra to come talk to her when last she went to Astrafell, but then Daisy got word that Estra had died she abandioned hope. I was not until Kedron started enquiring about The Mirrors and she revealed herself that she learned of the scheme that Estra, Marwynn and Victor accomplished to achieve.   Daisy admits that she wasn’t a perfect mother, and she could have made different choices. Caia says she thinks they need to be stopped, and she wants to go back and stop them from causing more harm to Astrafell and Allenia. Caia is worried they won’t stop hunting her or her family. Daisy changes into changeling form and says she’s never been ashamed of who she is and the only reason she did it was to protect Estra. She will help fight against it but there is much danger in what we set out to do. There are more members of The Unwritten you have met one of them Melpomene, leader of the Troupe also is one of them. Val doesn’t is not a member, the Unwritten just gave them the coin and the phrases to get the Mirrors to leave him alone. Maybe he could be recruited to the cause with your help.   Estra decides to use the name Caia as her ID when she is undercover. Living a duel life as a princess by day and a covert rebel by night.   The party tells them about the changeling meeting at the Hangman’s Tree. Marwynn says that the Tower can help. They are good at disappearing, waiting and playing possum. Changelings are known for their patience. Estra blushes.   The changelings skip the meeting, Daisy suspects that due to the high activity of high ranking people currently present in Rockshire they much have been spooked. So Estra is free to leave if she wants to. Estra decides to leave with her sire and Kendron back to Astrafell.   After teary goodbyes and exchange gifts. Bobushio gives Estra schematics for a gun. Moz and Gilly talk the library into giving Caia the highest level access into the archives. Caia returns to Astrafell and is “found” having survived the shipwreck, and the whole kingdom celebrates. Her little sister Lise Gatrell is thrilled to see her. She says she never thought she was dead and holds up a poorly crafter mace that looks like Estras. "I am going to be just like you someday!"
