"Well, maybe. Probably I suppose. Only thing is, I don't know if Lucinda is exactly the kind of fairy that helps people."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, I... it's rather comlicated."
"Like, how?"
"Well, she- she sometimes- she's not," Ella said rather firmly.
"Well I'm going to try anyway."
"Fine."
"Okay. Good. I'm rather glad we had this conversation."
"What? Why?"
"Because I know that I'll have an opportunity to home, and this must be it."
"And how, may I ask, could you possibly know that?"
"A knome told me when I first got here."
Understanding flashed across Ella's face.
"I see. That would explain it."
"Yes. They really can see into the future, right?"
"Well... yes. Some may. To a certain extent of course."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, not all knomes can see into the future, and of those who can, few speak Kyrrian. Not to mention they only see flashes and what they do see doesn't always come true."
"What?"
"Well, unless you do something that you or anyone else never expected, then it probably will."
"Oh no!! Wouldn't going to finishing school fall under that category?"
"Well, I don't know. It might."
I fought back tears. I had to get back to the modern world of technology.
"Well I'm going to try anyway."
"Fine. I never said you shouldn't."
"Ok, well I'm going to try!"
So we walked all day every day. I felt more alive than I had in a really long time. It felt so good not to be cooped up in that tiny building, to see the trees, the flowers, the sky, and the exotic plants. I felt like myself again, not the robotic lady of the times I'd been only days ago.
While we both rejoiced at being free from school at last, I noticed after a few days that Ella seemed to be worried about something. When I asked her, this is what she said, "Well, we ought to have reached the fork in the road by now if we're to get to the wedding on time."
"So? You mean we're not going to make it? We're not going to see the fairy after all?"
I didn't want to sound like an annoying little kid, but this was really important to me!
"Well, I don't know."
"How far did the baker say it was?"
"Well he said it'd take only a few days by carriage."
"Well so? Shouldn't we be there by now then?"
"I don't know. That's what I'm worried about."
