What sort of person would cling to the hope that someone else would return to give meaning to her life? What sort of quivering parasite needed someone else to validate her existence?

Her resolution grew as she left the settlement behind. She could change. She wasn’t chained to her past. She could become someone who wasn’t merely a product of what others had done to her. It wasn’t too late.

She had a place now and a life, and it was one of her own making.

“I’ve brought you home,” said Wilbur as he stepped ashore. He put his hat on again.”I hereby release you from your enchantment!” The Golden Snail snorted in delight as the chains, collar and bell fell away.”

“He knew he hadn’t been a very good Grand Enchanter. But he was probably the best Gallant Captain there ever was.”
