Otherwise, I’ve tried to summarize what happened at the beginning of most of the sections of this story.
Questions
This story involves several characters. Each has its task to accomplish. Stories and their characters are missing. I was foretold to find and return these stories. The characters within these stories have lost their memories. Others retained who they were but lost their families, friends, enemies, and those they had interacted with daily. There was a sorceress, looking not only for power but also wishing to rewrite all the stories, whereby her narrative would become the only character immortalized. Other nefarious characters followed this sorceress with dreams of getting their own power. One from my world was tasked to help me, though not in the way he thought. And there was one, a caretaker, who could not do anything himself but had the power to watch the proceedings and give answers or guidance as he felt necessary. All of these individuals had questions that they constantly pondered in this adventure. Here are some of their thoughts:
Granny: “I wonder how Red is doing? I wonder if she is okay? I wish it were me that had been taken away and that she was safe.”
Jack: “I think my mother would be proud of me. I wonder what she will say when I prove to her that I’m not stupid and idle?”
Captain Hook: “When I get my hands on me crew, they’ll rue the day they left. It will be great to be in charge again. I wonder if I’ll run into bloody Peter Pan and that blasted Tinker Twit of his? This time, I’ll be ready for them both.”
Cinderella’s stepmother: “When I find my daughters, I’ll ensure their marriages will provide me with many riches. There are lots of Prince Charmings around. Where can I find those that helped Cinder creep get all her good fortune? As to her, I’ll just leave her wherever she is.”
Grenwin (a lowly sorcerer working for Necroma): “I’m sure Necroma will reward me for everything I do for her. Will she make me a King? Maybe I can be her Sorceress Consort.”
Necroma: “I’ve almost reached my goal. Now everyone will bow down to me. How will I write about this glorious victory over Selat? Who could possibly stop me from my quest? The answer is no one!”
Inhabitants on the Island of Lorn: “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “Do I know any of these people?” “What is my story?”
Ronald: “How did I get into this mess? All I want to do is get out of this and go home. Where is Harvey, and how can I dump all these dangerous characters on him?”
Me: “Why did I agree to be where I am now? Will the outcome be good just because it was foretold? Or can the outcome change based on whether I succeed or not?”
Everyone has questions rolling around in their heads. Some lead to good answers, and others do not. Time will tell as this adventure continues.
What do you think? Whose side would you be on?
