THE BOY

"so, max, tell me more about you, dear. what questions do you have?"

"First of all, where am I?"

Now Maryl the Mole was stupefied.

"rabbit, your old fool, you didn't even tell that to the boy!"

"We were kind of occupied getting out of a Doomed Forest, you see."

"excuses, excuses, excuses! that's all you do!
i apologize for my ELDERLY consort. now, where to start? you max, are in Liminalia. do you recognize this name?"

" No, I never heard of it. Is it a sort of other world? I still think I'm dreaming all of this."

"oh, ho ho, no, i can guarantee you aren't dreaming at all. you see, max, everything you've seen here. the grimore forest, the wild hills, every rock, every leaf, everything is Liminalia."

"And what I'm doing here?"

"that remains a mystery. you asked if this is another world. are you from somewhere that isn't here?"

"Well, yeah. I'm from Planet Earth... you know, the big blue?"

"oh my, how interesting! for the Graces's love, mr. rabbit!"

"Mr. Rabbit said that name too. The Graces. What are them?"

"oh, my dear, it's not "what are them?"...
...but who They were."
