Seeker's older sister, Moira, has dreams and longings in her heart about the future. Trapper and Fantasy convince her that only in the World Beyond the Kingdom will her dreams come true. But they have lied to Moira. She doesn't realize that the path she has chosen will end in the Valley of Lost Dreams.

The Doorkeeper didn't stop the children with his usual question, "Do you REALLY want to see the King?" Instead, he quickly opened the door just in time for the army of children to race through. They slid down the shining hallway – not for fun today, but just because it was faster than walking – and flung themselves through the door of the Throne Room.

"King, King!" Seeker cried out. "Moira left the Kingdom!"

"I know," the King said quietly.

"You KNOW?!" Seeker exclaimed. "Then why don't you do something?! You have to go and get her and make her come back!"

The King shook his head. "No, Seeker. Not until she really wants me to."
