[0001] The lovely fairy speaks. "I am the fairy, Genesta. Welcome to Tamir!"
[0002] Rosella looks awestruck at the fairy. She is stunningly beautiful! But still there is a certain sadness to her.
[0003] Finally, Rosella speaks. "I know you would like me to help you in some way, but I don't know how I could help a fairy."
[0004] Genesta looks sadder than ever. "You're wrong, Rosella. You see, I'm losing my magical powers. Yesterday as I was strolling through the woods, Lolotte, the evil fairy, caught me unawares and stole my magic talisman."
[0005] The fairy sighs, "She yanked it from my neck and raced away screeching with laughter. Immediately I felt my powers diminishing and my body weakening. I will die in 24 hours if my talisman is not returned."
[0006] Intently, Genesta looks at Rosella. "Lolotte is very evil and will use the talisman to bring more evil to Tamir. Now I fear it will contaminate my whole country!"
[0007] "Further, I cannot send you home without my talisman."
[0008] Rosella is unsure as to what SHE can do. Meekly, she asks, "I want to help you, but how?"
[0009] "You can do more than you think, Rosella," Genesta assures her. "I believe you will be able to penetrate Lolotte's domain."
[0010] Suddenly, Rosella remembers the tiny tree. "Can you tell me where to find the magic fruit?"
[0011] Remorsefully, Genesta looks at Rosella. "It will not be easy to reach the tree. It grows on a tiny island within a vast swamp on the other side of the great mountains."
[0012] Bravely fighting back tears, Rosella says, "I will help you in any way I can, Genesta. How can I find Lolotte?"
[0013] The beautiful fairy points eastward. "Lolotte's castle overlooks Tamir from the great mountains."
[0014] Genesta looks weaker as she says, "There is not much more I can do, Rosella. As it is, it will be difficult for me to fly home again."
[0015] "One thing I must do for you, though. I shall disguise you as a peasant girl so as not to attract attention."
[0016] "Th-thank-you, Genesta...I think," Rosella stammers.
[0017] "It will be better for you," the fairy says. "Well, I must be off while I can still fly. I KNOW you can do it!"
[0018] "Good-bye, good luck."
[0019] Well, you're on your own, Rosella.
