I have so many things to do. I’ve finally figured out why I locked myself in the tower.

Really?

Why was that?

Once again, don’t ask me where he came from, but Bonsai was suddenly there, standing on his stool. He cleared his throat, unrolled another parchment and read:

To all those present in life -- he read -- on such day of such month of such year. -- He cleared his throat again and continued reading -- If Bonsai The Guardian is wearing his golden ceremonial clothes, standing outside The Cave of The Past, after having heard the extraordinary voice of Pia The Fairy, if he is on top of his wooden stool with the velvet seat and is reading this parchment, it will be very important to check if Princess Odai has exited The Cave of the Past. -- Bonsai lowered the parchment and turned to look at the Princess... after a while, he continued reading. -- If Bonsai is still reading this parchment, it is because the Princess is indeed outside of The Cave of the Past. If the face of the Princess has completely changed, and you can see happiness in her eyes and a certain peace that was never there before, it can be unequivocally concluded that the Princess has discovered her inner child, has saved her from the past, and now, at last, they are one and the same. Hurray!

Fanfare was heard once more. Odai and the Dragon were crying and clapping excitedly.

I, Bonsai The Guardian -- Bonsai continued reading -- certify such an event. And with the power vested in me by The Law of Life, written in The Great Book of Life, under article forty thousand and twenty-four... -- He stopped to breathe. -- I decree and order that the Princess shall never forget the voice that lives in her heart from this moment on. And, I recommend that she follow her path in search of The Richest Man in the World.

The law has spoken.

Bonsai looked at her for a moment, smiled, stepped down from the stool, picked it up and disappeared once more.

Alright then, let’s continue on this journey. Are you hungry, Dragon?

Nope, I’m stuffed with soup and I won’t eat again until I’ve digested everything I’ve eaten.

Are you hungry, Princess?

No, not at all. I’m excited and happy. I’ve never felt this complete before.

Good for you! It really shows.

Oh, Writer, thank you for not finishing the story yet.

And not find out where you’re headed? Never!

Okay, so... now we have to find The Richest Man in the World.

Will you marry him? He sounds like a catch.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, and you know what? Not knowing and starting to discover can be wonderful.
