Titania's Treasure

Titania Oberon's parents were driving through the Drakensberg Mountains in Natal, South Africa, on their way to Pietermaritzburg, to bring Titania home for school holidays, when a rock fall pushed their estate car into a ravine, killing them both. At the mausoleum where her parents' ashes were placed, Samuel their Zulu house boy with his wife Matilda, who had cared for Titania from birth, gave Titania a hand carved ivory necklace and locket. Telling her the locket contained a little of her parents' ashes, and strong Ju-Ju, and if ever she was worried or in trouble, to hold the locket in both hands and call his name, and he would always be there. Titania flew to England to her adopted grandfather, to attend Little Upplingtons College for Young Ladies. It was here that Titania realized the power of Samuel's locket.
