Look at Maia. She used to joke about being Iama the Terrible, the evil enchantress whose touch turned everyone to gold in Magic and Mishaps. It was a joke. She wasn’t really terrible. Not until she got too serious about making money, so serious she no longer had time for anyone.
Growing up and away means you disappear. Maia disappeared as much as Nathalie did, leaving me alone.
No. I still have Theodora Bear, Heidi, and Heather. I miss Nathalie and Maia, miss them so much it hurts. I miss them so much, I feel alone, even though I’m not. Maia and Nathalie used to be so much fun. I didn’t really miss my moms, not with them around.
In a way, Maia did become Iama the Terrible, living in her factory tower as Iama did in her palace of gold. She didn’t lure Princess Nathalie into her tower, to keep her company. She lost the princess as much as I do.
In Mischief and Magic, Princess Grace found the enchantress’s heart with Theodora Bear’s help. Wind Me Up, One More Time, Theodora, the way I wind you up so you can growl. I need to growl.
You know what the worst thing is about growing up and away? I no longer believe stories can come true, no matter how much I want them to. This is why I need you to Wind Me Up, One More Time, Theodora. We need to find enough storytelling magic for all of us. Maybe you’ll find it, too, if you go to…
