Chise and Selkie climb aboard a dragon's back to meet Lindel, to have her own mage's staff made. Frustrated by Chise's acceptance of her being kept as a pet by Elias, he describes the time he found Elias in the darkness. Meanwhile, Elias, who had stayed at home by himself, receives a letter from a sorcerer's college.
She may be alive a hundred years 
from now or a hundred years ago.
قد تكون حيّة بعد مائة سنة

Sie könnte vor hundert Jahren leben
oder in ebenso ferner Zukunft.
Podría estar viva dentro
de cien años o hace cien más.
Podría estar viva dentro
de cien años o hace cien más.

dans l’avenir ou dans le passé…
E potrebbe vivere fra cento anni o cento anni fa.
Ela pode viver cem anos 
no futuro, ou cem anos no passado.
Она может жить через сто лет или 
сто лет назад.
