There was a young girl in black robes. Her long, ashen hair blew in the wind, for her pointy hat had blown off and was clutched in her hand. On her robes was pinned a star-shaped brooch, marking her as a witch.
Who could it be?
Of course, it was me, Elaina, the Ashen Witch.
The narrow country road, my feet followed, ran between farm fields that lay as far as the eye could see. Sweet potato, rice, lush clover, tall leeks, cabbage, and many more; for this was a rich agricultural country. White flax blooms #rippled in the wind, and small red flowers, like a carpet, bloomed between the crops.
Presently, I came upon rows of peas, with a girl no older than me sitting in the middle of them. Around her were piles of shelled peas that nearly hid her blue satin dress. With her porcelain complexion, seated amid the carpet of red flowers, she almost appeared to be a #doll. In her hand was a newly shelled handful of emerald globes, which she studied carefully before discarding and moving on to the next unopened pod.
She called out when she saw me, "You can’t have him."
I smiled and nodded. "As you wish. May I ask who I shan't have and what you are doing?"
"I am looking for my prince?" Her tone implied she thought me a dunce, but I didn't mind. I thought her rather foolish looking for a prince in pea pods.
"Is he a pea?" I asked, imagining a prince shoved into a pod. The thought made me grin. There wasn’t enough room for a noble’s ego in a pea pod, let alone his body.
"Of course, where else would he be?"
"In his castle or hunting a dragon," but I kept those thoughts to myself.
"And how will you know him?" I said instead.
"I just will. He will be the handsomest pea to ever have existed."
"And will you kiss or eat him to transform him back?"
Her look was withering. If I had been one of the crops, I would have shriveled up on the spot. "Neither, I will put him under my mattress. He will keep me up all night, and I will bear him a beautiful blond heir."
I didn't ask how this would all transpire. Instead, I put my hat on, for the wind had dropped, bid her farewell, and continued on my journey.
