Quotes

You seek my redemption, a fool's errand.

Then I must be the most foolish of them all because I won't stop looking, not now, not ever.

Why do you reach so far? Why can't you accept life as it is?

I reach because I know with effort it can be reached, that even the tallest trees must come to an end. To accept life as it is, that is simply ridiculous, because you know it can and will be more if you nuture it. That is what your redemption is, a tiny seed in need of nourishment. I will provide it, even if it kills me, you will not stop me, nothing will.

Meeting Keltin..

Where could Emilia possibly be? I needed to figure out who Emilia was taking on the trip. And where she lives. The chances of Emilia picking a boy for her companion is unthinkable. She usually sticks to the more superior gender. Now where could this person be? I decide to look at the resident files. Good thing that Amya gave me the full tour of the castle. Other wise, I would know where nothing was. I head towards the file room. A crunching noise interrupts the silence. Oh no, I look down at my feet and find a pencil. I have just stepped on a pencil. A guard turns toward the noise. I press my back against the cold stone wall. Please don't look over here, I think.
The guard goes in the other direction. Thank goodness. I begin to look through the residents. There are only a few files. The majority live at Elsa's Comfort Inn the remaining live in the Castle. I decide to go to Elsa's Inn. How'll I'll get there, I have no idea. I turn to leave and find a guard staring down at me. No, not a guard, Marvin.
"What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Trying to find Emilia. What about you?"
"Trying to stop you and if that fails then to come with you."
"You can't come."
"You can't stop me. Look Emilia is just like my little sister. And I want to find her just as much as you do."
"Fine, you can come. Do you know where Elsa's Comfort Inn is?"
"Vaguely, I think it's in that direction."
"Ok."
We follow Marvin's directions and find our selves at a small inn. The sound of a fire crackling, keeps the silence from taking over. Marvin opens the door. A short receptionist sits on top of a pile of books. Her hair is magenta and her eyes are a shade of beady brown. Her glasses are shoved up against her face and her nose appears tiny. Her age is on the older side, but not to old.
"May I help you?" She says.
"Yes, have you by any chance seen this girl?" I ask.
I pull out a small photograph of me and Emilia from last year. We are making crazy faces, but it's the only picture I have at the moment.
"Why yes indeed I have. She went with someone up to room 321."
"Can we have a name?" Marvin asks.
"Yes, yes. Know where is that darn book of rooms."
She diggs around until she has found a humongous book, filled with billions of pages. There are sections with the room number labeled on them. It's from recent to old. She finds the tab labeled 321 and flips through it. Finally, she comes to a stop.
"Yes, yes. The room is currently occupied by Kellie Valtillion."
She then closes the massive book and sets it in its correct spot.
"Is that all the information you needed?"
I nod. And we head towards the stairs. There are millions if rails of stairs. We follow the rail which reads 300-324. We'll find Emilia soon enough. When we reach room 321, I pause. Here goes nothing. I knock sharply on the door hoping it will get someone's attention. A boy with chestnut brown hair answers. Definitely not Kellie Valtillion.
"Can I help you?" He says.
"Yea. I demand you give me back my sister this instant!"
"And who might your sister be?"
"Sonya?" Emilia says as she comes toward the door.
