Volume 3 Prologue 2
“Grandma, Grandma.”
“What is it, Wil?”
“That girl’s a fairy, isn’t she? He eyes and hair are so shiny. She must be a fairy.”
“Oh my. How romantic of you, Wil. You should tell her yourself. I’m sure she’ll be very happy to hear that.”
“No. I’m scared.”
“Oh? Why might that be?”
“If she really is a fairy, she’ll take me away to Fairy Land. Don’t pretty fairies steal kids away?”
“Dear me, that does sound very scary, Wil. I don’t want to have you stolen away. Then why don’t you tell her once you’ve grown up?”
“Well… okay. But—”
“But?”
“What if she still wants to steal me away then?”
“Since you’ll be an adult, you’ll be able to decide for yourself, Wil.”
“Okay.”
“Now, I’m going to introduce her to everyone, so go wait in the auditorium. Sit at the very front, like you always do.”
“Okay, Grandma.”
“Allison.”
“Yes, Madam Mut?”
“Please, call me ‘Grandma’. That’s what everyone calls me here.”
“Yes, Grandma.”
“I need to tell you something very important. When I introduce you to everyone today, there’s going to be a brown-haired boy in a green shirt sitting in the front row.”
“Mhm.”
“Remember, that boy will definitely be your friend. You should go and talk to him—there’s no need to be shy.”
“Yes, Grandma.”
