To ask how we knew which way to go only shows how far removed you are from the natural world. Animals are rarely, if ever lost, but you can spend entire lives moving in the wrong direction. It was not always so. I am surprised you never wondered at what you condescendingly call ìfairy tales,î where the hero is sent in quest for the witchís home, or for the white cat whoíll buy his freedom. He may wander many days, but doesnít he find his goal eventually? Donít you ever ask how he does this?
Some of your race still practice water-conning, so some of you still know how things can be found. But some of you think divining rods are peculiar artifacts from superstitious days. Some of you will stay lost for a long, long time.
*ahem* And WHY is this jewel unfinished, young lady?
