The third night of december, the bed metamorphosed itself againe in a balloon.

Lilac felt nothing during the take-off, nor during the flight. She went on sleeping quietly. But the balloon had flown farther, much farther.

She was no more in Paris. She was in a mysterious forest.

And she saw something very strange : an old magician emprisonned in a magic circle.

He began speaking with a strange voice. Noisy and raucous as a wolf's voice. It seemed to come from far, far away, from the depth of the forest.

Lilas ouvrit bien grand ses oreilles. Heureusement car le vieux magicien chuchota tout doucement, sans faire plus de bruit qu’un tout petit souffle de vent :
- Bonjour, s’il vous plait, merci, au-revoir.

Lilac had immediately guessed that she was jealous. She knew what it was. She had a little brother. The lady was smiling but Lilac knew she was just pretending.

She could not stand to see the old magician speaking with Lilac.
- It is time for you to go back home, little girl !

And in her magic bed that begun to fly over the forest she heard the lady scolding the old magician with loud screams and she heard him defending himself.

- Merlin you're painful, I leave you a second and you're giving secrets to anybody.
- But Vivien, it was the lovely princess Lilac with the long golden hair
