Marì let herself fall slowly, crossing the
branches of the big tree until she reached the meadow next to the
spring. She hesitated at the entrance of the path to the grove,
sitting down, thinking about the book and especially about the
drawing. She had made the decision to access the life of her friend
Jill but with great caution, always ready to flee in case she
realizes to treat a damage.
She passed the grove and entered the fountain in silence, cautiously, checking no one else was sitting on the large stone. The water was empty. A salty scent rose from the banks, from the moss partially immersed and from the stones lapped by the light movement of the water.
She sat down and gave a long sigh.
“I know, we don’t know each other,” she whispered, looking around as if the ancient inhabitants were standing next to her. “Coming from Earth, I am aware I don’t belong to this world. Perhaps I am not allowed to ask for your help.” She looked up with determination to the water. “But if you have welcomed me, I think you have responsibilities in this regard.”
A shiver ran down her back in a mistake in the request. She could not put them in front of obligations not of their competence.
“I apologize for my impetuosity”, she whispered, lowering her head. “I understood from your message how my friend Jill needs my help. Though I have no experience, I am determined to act on it.” She bent her head again. “I have come here to the pond with the request for a help from you. Above all in stopping me in case of stupid strategies and wrong gestures as often happens to me.”
