[Dictated] In which Cimorene poses some questions

[chiefcookandlibrarian]

 In the weeks I have been here I have spoken to a great many people.  And some of the things they have mentioned to me sound very strange and curious.

And now I am wondering a great many things.  My own world is filled with such creatures as dragons and djinn and wizards and fire witches and giants and many others beside.  Are there truly so many worlds with none of that?

Also, I am wondering if anyone has any dried feverfew.  I would gather it myself, but I'm afraid it is the wrong time of year for it.

...You are very enthusiastic about it. But I am not entirely sure where to start.

What is there not to be enthusiastic about? Come on, I'm sure you've got to feel something yourself about other worlds. Even if they're not super cool and have super cool awesome things like yours does.

Start at the beginning!

I'm very curious about them,yes. So much of what I've heard here sounds so very strange. But it would be something to see.

The beginning, is it? [Cimorene smiles.] I suppose I should start with who I am, then. I am the princess Cimorene of Linderwall. Linderwall was pleasant enough. It was very prosperous and peaceful. Philosophers were well respected and the number 5 was popular. And its been centuries since any dragons or giants have come through on a rampage.

A year ago I took the advice of a talking frog and ran away. I volunteered to be a dragon's princess.

I'd tell you 'bout mine in return, but it isn't really interesting anymore.

Woah a Princess. I am talkin' to like a real bonafide Princess Talk 'bout bad ass. And talking frogs man oh man-- You didn't kiss it, did you? Was it a prince? Or did you ditch your frog prince for a hottie dragon?

Being a princess isn't as interesting as you would think. All my parents ever talked about was tradition and being proper. And I was never allowed to learn anything interesting. Just etiquette and embroidery and dancing.

...No. He was very clear that he was not a prince. He'd just picked up a few things from them.

And I do not have a prince. In fact I usaully have to go to a great deal of effort to get rid of them.
