"Haste, make haste without waste--
--If you race full of folly and take the wrong way, you'll find yourself a watery grave."

[It was a low voice that spoke up from between the pages that night, in a contemplative tone that carried the lilt of a childish melody. The few who had met the sailor in person would recognize dampened demeanor, not that he could ever be kept down for long. For everyone else-- the derp was finally speaking up. And he wasn't sharing any notes this time.

With a sigh he spoke up again, this time more pointedly:]

...how many here know how to remove curses?

We didn't make dust, we just had it when we earned our Enchantix. But, yes a fairy I am and always will be.

...I understand.

What is an 'enchantix'?

[She sighs, she forgets here things like that are a confusing factor for other people.]

It's what we call a fairy form which is gained when you save someone from your home world. pretty much to the point where you would sacrifice yourself to save them. [A pause.] There were exceptions in this case, but they would be considered incomplete.

[Piers heard that sigh and sympathized-- he had made the same a few times himself, although his experiences left people mystified on every side of the conversation.

Like with Faeries.]

So you were awarded for an act of selflessness.

[He was reminded of a story about a young man who dove from a lighthouse to save a young woman that he barely knew from drowning...]

But, only form? That sounds strange for a Fairy.

It had it's perks compared to the forms we would of had previously. Plus we graduated because of it. [Thought they still go to school there... Yeah.]

[The concepts were strange for Piers' understanding, but he chose to simply accept the strangeness and move along. There were many, many things in this world that he didn't understand.]

Perks, yes. But, ones that you say you cannot use. Have you also found yourself limited since coming to this world?

The obvious answer is yes. I tested my abilities when I first arrived and I can only go so long before my wings pack out. Same for swimming underwater. Its a huge bummer.

It's more than a bummer.

[He always found more questions about these seas instead of answers. It was a current without end.]

It's a pain, but I'll have to learn to adapt to it and all. Which while annoying is a way people survive.

I am aware-- I've never been so limited before, and it is frustrating.

I've had my moments but I do hope you'll adapt.

That will not be a problem. It was a surprise, but one that I should have seen coming.

Then I wish you luck with that.
