#TimeTravelingGhost EP 13: Post 144, 1,802,701 CE, Eemaoold, Thames Valley
#Wss366 #Peal #TimeTravelAuthors win or victory
We worked in silence, pulling the barrier we had erected away from the door. Outside, we gazed out over the valley toward the towers of Eemaoold, where bells began to toll. It was a surprising but hopeful sign I might find what I sought there.
As the last peals subsided, Weena pointed to deformed human tracks on the ground. “Baad, baad, Mourloks.”
Emily looked at me and tapped her head. “Baaa, baaa. Is there something wrong with her?”
“Don’t!” I replied. “If you can’t be nice…” I didn’t know how to finish the sentence, but I imagined I had gotten my point across: “Be nice.”
I explained. “This is Weena, a member of a fairy-like race. She has been helping me.”
I turned to Weena and said, “This is Emily.” I pointed to where the woman stood. “She’s a friend.”
“Weena, freennd,” she responded, bowing toward where I pointed. “Henny freennd, Weena freend.”
“She is saying that if you’re my friend, then she is your friend too. Do you accept?” I asked.
“Sure,” she said, but she didn’t look thrilled. It was a victory of sorts. I hoped it would last. Whoever this woman was, she was prickly.
“Come on,” I said, starting down the slope. “Fill me in on our past. Then I’ll update you.”
