Oh my goodness! Why is she here?
I don’t know if I can change her fate or not. Her fate is fighting strongly against me.
-Caroline! Lets go!
Fortunately she didn’t see that woman.
I talked to her all the way to the secret door. She almost forgot that woman.
-it's time to go! But listen carefully before you go.
I told her how to use those spells.
-the black one is for Audra. she needs to drink it.
-but how?
-I don’t know. You should find a way.
-the red one is for Charles and there's also a spell for him. Read this when he's sleeping then touch his forehead.
-what does this do?
-Charles forgets everything about Audra.
-what about Audra?
-she forgets that you've ever existed.
-WHAT? But…
-that's the only way. sometimes it's better to let someone go.
I forgot something.
-oh and this one is for all the people in your palace. They will forget Audra too. Stand in front of your palace and read this.
-alright. Thanks.
-please put all your memories behind. It's the best choice right now! And forgive them.
-I'll do my best.
-promise that you will forgive them!
She hesitated but said:
-fine. I promise!
We hugged each other and said good bye.
-I wish you the best Caroline! Goodbye!
------------
Caroline:
I hate to say goodbye. It's the hardest word for me to say. There was a whole new world waiting for me on the other side of the door.
-I didn’t even see john. He will be upset to see that I've gone without a goodbye.
I turned back and said:
-say goodbye to john! Say that I'm very thankful!
She smiled and nodded. I stepped in and stood there for a moment. I couldn’t look back. I was scared of the real world.

-I will always remember this secret world.
I finally turned back. I saw the real world and my mouth fell open just like the first time.
-I've seen this but I'm still amazed.
Everything was just right like nothing has ever happened. I thought about all those weird things I saw before until I arrived.
-Caroline darling!
I knew who it was. Her voice is like lullaby for me.
-aunt flora!
-where were you? You don’t come to see me these days.
-I'm sorry. I was busy.
-are you alright? I can see the pain in your eyes.
I can't hide anything. She knows me too well.
-no I'm fine. I mean… I will be fine very soon.
-make sure to eat all your meals.
-yes sir!
She's always worried about me and my health. I guess she's the only person who cares about me.
I passed the kitchen and maids. The smell of the food made me stop for a second.
-I miss the old days. It's been a while since I enjoyed my food.
I walked quickly. I needed to hide the potions in my room.
-where should I put them?
I heard something and put them under the bed. Someone knocked.
-Caroline! May I come in?
I wanted to run and hug him but I couldn’t. it reminded me of when they were hugging each other.
-yes come in.
-how's your day? you don’t come to see me as much as before.
-that’s weird. Aunt flora just told me that.
He didn’t even look at me while he was talking.
-why don’t you look at me when you're talking with me?
-uh… I didn’t do that on purpose.
He seemed nervous and I liked it. I was angry again.
-what do you think of a dinner in garden?

He was surprised.
-sure why not!
-then I'll go to prepare things.
I went out and shut the door behind me. I told the maids that I want to eat my dinner in the garden. i asked one of the maids:
-where is Audra?
-I'm sorry but I don’t know.
-go find her and tell her to come back for dinner.
-yes princess.
I wore my best dress and went for a walk in garden.
-he should wait for me! not me! I'm so stupid.
Everyone was busy in the kitchen. I walked alone.
-no! I can't tolerate another romantic scene!
I heard Audra's voice.
-I bet Charles is there too.
I followed the whispers and saw them behind a wall. Charles was laughing so hard and Audra was trying to stay quiet. She said:
-don’t laugh too loud! They may hear us.
The regular anger grew in me. my heart was on fire. I wanted to go back but I saw that he kissed her.
- I shouldn’t have seen this.
I went back angrily and sat in the garden waiting for them to come.
-I'll make your life a nightmare!
I saw Charles coming near me.
Sarcasm was my only weapon I could use at that moment.
-how was it?
He looked confused. He said:
-what?
I smirked and said:
-oh nothing! Forget it.
Minutes passed by and maids came in garden.
-oh Audra! come sit here.
-thank you princess. I just stand here. It's a romantic dinner for our couple!
-it's like you two should sit here.
-sorry what did you say?
-nothing!
Ah I said it out loud again.
All the maids went in kitchen after dinner. It was just us. I sat next to Charles. I wanted him to suffer, so I did something.
-I love you.
I kissed him. He was reluctant but I didn’t pay attention to it. I could feel that Audra was dying because of jealousy. I didn’t want her to suffer but I had to do it.
-I love you too.
He finally said that. it was fun to see him like that.
-lets go in. it's getting dark
I wanted Audra to think we were going to continue the romantic moments. She was on fire.
-good night Audra! I'll see you tomorrow!
-good night princess!
I wanted to read that spell but I was still doubtful.
I sat on my bed. He was reading his usual books. I opened my mouth to say something but he interrupted me.
-um… I have something to do. I'll be back in a minute!
I knew what he was going to do so I didn’t ask anything.
-alright. I'll wait for you.
He left the room. I walked around his desk, afraid of the drawings on the desk.
-what if it's Audra again? ah I don’t want to see it.
But i picked up his notebook. All the pages were Audra's portrait. I sat on the floor staring at the pages.
-when this nightmare is going to end?
I was numb and without any feelings. my tears dropped on one of the pages.
-I can't force him to love me. well… he wont remember Audra but I will remember her forever…
I hid the potions and said:
-I'm not going to use them. I'll go back to the hidden world and ask for another solution!
-if I use the potions, their love will remain like a scar on my heart.
For a second I thought of forgiving them.
-lets just let them go…
No I can't.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
