Wife?! Nel wasn't exasperated to hear that... What was he planning on doing with a four-inch bride? Unless...
"You up there! Hey, you!"
Her tiny voice failed to carry to his large and cumbersome ears. Hopelessly minute hearing... She tried hollering at the top of her lungs, but to no avail. All she could do was watch him peek around at her, trying to glance at whatever he could behold of her figure. Flustered, Nel tried to concoct some way out of this trap. Banging on the ceiling seemed to help. He immediately took note, and gripped the box with both hands.
"What is it, my lovely prize? Have you something to say? You can tell me."
If only humans weren't deaf...
"Ours will be such a happy life, if you just trust in me. And I'll never have to step foot in the rotten village ever again, we can enjoy our lives together in the pleasing shade of the trees. No one will ever find me here... What with your magic, and the assistance of the witch, I should find myself in a very pleasing position!"
Nel wondered. Just how does he aim to take her? Then, she recalled his mention of the witch. So old Kathrin Keebler had brewed up this nonsense? True, her magic was strong, but what could be done to make a pixie the fitting wife for a human? Suddenly, it struck her. She gasped in delight.
Could she finally get her wish, thanks to this fool?
"Well, my darling, the witch advised me to sprinkle you once daily, so that our love may grow as gradually as you will. But, I'm eager to see you in all your beauty, so I'll add just a bit more than recommended... It can't hurt, the witch deals only in good magic, now."
Nel sunk to the bottom of the box. Sprinkles? She'd be trapped in this prison, fed on bits of magic dust. The thought didn't excite her, even considering the potential growth. Old Kathrin had been known to be wrong, too. The foolish mortal shook the canister once, raining a glittery mist in through the holes. Droplets collected on Nel's feet...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
