She would have written a note to her family, but literacy was nonexistent here, and she hadn't even held a writing instrument since she'd been Fred. So she had to say goodbye to their faces, and she wept as she did so. Frila's children, her nieces and nephews, were especially difficult to leave, but she was running out of time. At the last second she arrived back at the beach, and Tihena grinned a toothy grin and said, "Based on the timing of your return, might I presume you have decided to come with me?" She was still crying, but she said, "I will return to Allaria with you." "Excellent!" He produced a contract and a small knife. "I know you can't write, so a drop of blood will do." Not thinking much of it, she pricked her finger with the knife and allowed a drop of blood to fall in the blank space under the incomprehensible scribbles on the parchment. "Excellent!" cried Tihena, rolling up the parchment, and grabbed her hand, their surroundings melting away.
