“…Mudder?” Angelina asked in a timid voice.

The woman nodded slowly, tears welling in her eyes. “I’m your mother—Phaenna Ci Té Yule. I put the other children to sleep because I wanted to talk to you.”

“Mudder!” Angelina cried while racing over to Phaenna. Her mother often appeared in her dreams, and she’d wanted to meet her for so, so long. If only Mother had survived, she’d thought countless times. Though part of her had resented Phaenna for leaving her behind, her yearning for her mother had been even stronger. Marfa had told her stories of Phaenna, Kyril had recounted memories of her, and Feilong had sung her lullaby. Angelina had gathered those small fragments in search of the mother she had no personal memories of.

Angelina spread out her arms and tried to hug Phaenna. Unfortunately, her outstretched hands passed through her mother’s incorporeal form.

“I’m sorry,” Phaenna said, looking at Angelina sadly. “I can’t hug you anymore.”

Angelina shook her head and bit her lip. “No, it’s okay! Just being able to see you is enough.”

“Truly. I never expected to hear your voice, either. Is Kyril a kind brother? Feilong might look scary, but he’s not a bad person.”

“Big Brudder’s really nice. He’s cool and smart too!”

Phaenna’s eyes twinkled. “How wonderful.”

“I don’t understand Fodder too well, but I know he’s nicer than he looks.”

“I’m glad to hear it. Does he take good care of you?”

“Yeah, he does!”

Phaenna smiled at Angelina’s confident answer. “Why did you come here?”

“Well, Fodder turned into a child because of time-reversal magic. I came looking for the sheet music so we can return him to normal.”

“What?!” Phaenna exclaimed, her eyes widening. “How could such a thing happen? I can’t imagine Feilong cranking the barrel organ, considering how vigilant he is.”

“Actually, I’m the one who cranked the organ,” Angelina replied. “But Fodder cast a protective spell on me. Then he got hit with the magic intended for me…”

“But why would a Yulan citizen try to curse you? One of our people would never cause you any harm.”

“I don’t know either.” Angelina hung her head. “Other Yulans said the same thing, but apparently, the troupe leader who brought the barrel organ was out to get me. He turned into a wooden doll when Fodder rebounded his magic.”

Phaenna regarded Angelina with a pained expression. She couldn’t reach out and pat her daughter’s head, no matter how much she wanted to. So, instead, she balled her hand into a fist and bit her lip.

“I’m so happy Feilong protected you,” she said. “Angelina… You must inherit the Yulan Secret Arts.”

Angelina cocked her head. “I must?”

“The secret arts are why Yule flourished as a small, frozen country in the far north,” Phaenna responded with a bitter smile. “Yet, in the end, desire for them from both Jinlong and other nearby countries brought about our destruction.”

“Do the secret arts have anything to do with returning Fodder to normal? I only need the sheet music.”

Phaenna laughed softly. “You don’t need them even though everyone else wants them?”

Angelina furrowed her brow, unable to understand the question.
