The wind coming from The Canyon of... well... the Wind, whispered in her ear -- There are times in which you need to see a bit further to realize that there is a world full of wonders, variety and options; a world full of possibilities.
I know I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ll never be sure of anything if I don’t give myself the chance to try things, to feel and to overcome the vertigo.
She looked into the open space and felt vertigo again, only this time she thought differently.
Tomorrow I will conquer you, vertigo. I am sure of that.
The Princess snuggled up against the Dragon, who had been asleep for hours. She rested her head on one of his huge paws and fell into a deep sleep.
The Canyon started to shift. The Writer was surprised. The rocks were cracking, the earth was shaking and everything was shifting.
That is all I needed to hear from you, Princess -- whispered the Canyon, quietly. -- Your true desire to overcome the vertigo and move forward. There will be a surprise in store for you tomorrow.

10:00 A.M.
It was a cool morning; the branches of the trees were fresh with dew. The Dragon was holding the Princess tenderly, as if he were protecting her. The Writer’s jaw dropped as he looked at the Canyon...
But, he has decided not to narrate anything until the Princess wakes up and discovers it for herself.
The Writer has decided to go for a walk until his two main characters wake up.
The Writer is doing this because he believes that sleeping is something amazing and one has to get enough sleep to gather the strength to live.
For someone who is so overwhelmed, the Princess manages to sleep VERY well.
The Princess woke up after a few hours... it was actually after many hours. If you ask me, Odai is a bit lazy... anyway, the Princess finally woke up around... 12:30 in the afternoon.
Good morning, Princess.
Good morning, Writer.
How are you?
I don’t know... a little upset, a little worried, a little anxious...
But clearly nothing to lose sleep over, right? The Dragon stretched his arms out.
Good morning.
Good morning, Dragon.
Good morning, Dragon.
What adventure awaits us now, Princess? What roller coaster of emotions are you going to make us go on today?
There’s a lot to do -- said the Princess, getting up. -- I have to find a way to overcome vertigo. I have to cross the Canyon, and I have to get us to the other side. Now I’m certain of it.
When the Princess turned around, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
I can’t believe my eyes! -- said the Princess... redundantly.
What happened now? And then the Dragon saw the Canyon. -- Whoa!
