Oscar:  He opened his eyes to see that Tinasha had about twenty small crystal balls spread out in her lap. She picked them up one by one to inspect them carefully. It looked so much like she was playing a children’s game that Oscar had to speak up. “What are those?”

Tinasha:  “Hey! You’re not asleep!”

Oscar:  “Who passes out that quickly? !”

Tinasha:  Tinasha twisted around to show him a crystal ball in her palm. “It’s a magic implement. Each one contains a spell. I’m preparing these to draw up the larger spell.”

Oscar:  “You need that many?”

Tinasha:  “A witch cursed you. This isn’t your everyday magic,” she replied, lips forming a smile that seemed to be both self-deprecating and relieved. Her long eyelashes cast shadows on her cheeks. The half of her porcelain face bathed in the moonlight from the window glowed pale, transforming her beauty into something ethereal.

Oscar:  Before Oscar knew it, he was staring at her. “It’s already been half a year,” he blurted out. While he was no Lazar, it really did feel like the time had gone quickly.

Tinasha:  She grinned at that. “Right on schedule, just like I said.”

Oscar:  “And you’ve managed to cause no end of trouble in such a short while, too.”
gpt
Tinasha:  “Because you let me be free.”

Oscar:  Each day they spent together was nothing like the one before. Tinasha’s utterly carefree demeanor, her immense power she wielded like it was child’s play… It was so novel and new that it left Oscar amazed and filled with a wondrous sense of liberty. “You do the most unexpected things. Like sleeping underneath a castle for four centuries,” he commented dryly.

Tinasha:  “I was the one who built that underground chamber. I was only making good use of it.”
human
Oscar:  Oscar recalled the sight of that verdant subterranean garden, removed from the flow of time. The young woman sleeping on the white bed had spoken his name when she arose. “When I first saw you—I thought you were made for me,” Oscar confessed. Because he discovered her while seeking a way to break his curse, his first thought was that this must be his bride. The curse that had always mystified him—even that made sense once he met her. He felt like maybe it had all been leading to that moment.

Tinasha:  Calmly, she spoke into the silence of the room. “Yes. I did come for you.”
human
Oscar:  It echoed what he had said, but it was not the same. Still, both encapsulated emotions that were too large to hold. Whatever sounds there were beyond the room didn’t reach Oscar. The chamber was cut off from the outside world. The flow of time was different, as if this place were submerged. Amid the quiet, everything floated to the surface. To Oscar, it felt like he might see every corner of the room if he squinted. He closed his eyes again, however. “Tinasha.”

Tinasha:  “What?”
human
Oscar:  “Nothing…” He didn’t know what to say, or how.
