The Woman And The Orb – Chapter 2

2 days had passed and Genevieve’s mother is getting better. Lily and Genevieve decided to go out into the forest to collect wood for the farm. Instead of chopping wood down by hand, Lily used her magic to lift the axe and chop the trees down by it self. After they finished they heard an odd noise behind them. They turned sharply to find a young girl with a mask. She was wearing a black sweater, a navy top, and a purple knee length skirt. She was not dressed in any way Lily or Genevieve had seen before.

The girl asked in confusion, “Where am I?”

Lily said calmly, “You are in the forest just beyond the border of the northern kingdoms.”

“The northern kingdoms? Where is that?” tilting her head.

“Uh, the northern kingdoms is along the ocean of the forgotten. A forbidden place for all travelers.” Said Genevieve as confused as the girl with mask was.

“What year is it?” The girl asked.

“It is 1630.” Lily said very slowly.

“1630!? I have to get back home now.” Said the girl.

“Wait, where did you get that mask?” Lily said recognizing the mask.

“It was in my home, I found this secret door and I crawled through this tiny space and I found this big elaborate room. I saw this mask on a pedestal. I decided to put it on and the floor underneath me disappeared and I fell through. Now, I am here.” The girl said.

“I recognize that mask.” Lily said.

“Isn’t it in the Great Book Of The Northern Kingdoms.” Genevieve said understandingly.

“Yes, but how did you read it? It is in the most secure vault on earth. It is in the castle of Kind Terrance.” Said Lily in a very confused voice.

“I used to live there.” Said Genevieve.

“No way, your Princess Genevieve! How come I didn’t think of it before?” Lily said shockingly.

Genevieve thought, “If that mask was in the book, what was it’s category? Was it time, power, invisibility, strength, mind, or wishes? It was time!”

“What time are you from?” Asked Genevieve.

“Me?” The girl said.

“Yes.” Genevieve said.

“I am from 2021.” The girl said proudly.

That is almost 400 years into the future! Lily said in utter shock.
