chapter 19. farewell to Fablehaven
Kendra and Grandpa reclined in the wagon
while Hugo pulled them down the road at
a leisurely pace
the morning was clear and bright with a
few thin high clouds barely clinging to
existence accidental brush Strokes on a
blue canvas the day would be hot but for
now it was pleasant
a couple of fairies drifting alongside
the wagon waved at Kendra she waved back
and they sped away weaving around one
another for the garden now teamed with
fairies and they paid Kendra a lot of
special attention they seemed pleased
whenever she acknowledged them
we haven't really got to talk since it
all happened Kendra said you're sleeping
half the time Grandpa replied it was
true she had slept for two days and two
nights straight after the ordeal a
personal best
all those kisses knocked me out she said
you excited to see your parents ask
Grandpa yes and no it was the third day
since Kendra had awakened her parents
were coming to pick them up this
afternoon
going home will seem Bland after all
this well you'll have fewer demons to
worry about Kendra smiled true
Grandpa folded his arms what you did was
so special I don't know how to speak
about it it barely seems real oh it was
real you mended an irreparable situation
and saved all our lives in the process
the fairies have not gone to war for
centuries in that state their power is
virtually unrivaled Bahama did not stand
a chance what you did was so brave and
so doomed to failure I can't think of
anyone I know who would have even tried
it it felt like my only hope why do you
think the fairy queen helped me
your guess is as good as mine maybe to
save The Preserve maybe she sensed the
sincerity of your intentions your youth
must have helped I'm sure fairies would
have much rather followed a little girl
into battle than some pompous General
but the truth is I never would have
guessed it would have worked it was a
miracle
Hugo stopped the cart Grandpa climbed
down and then helped Kendra she held the
Silver Bullet she had taken from the
island they started down a faint path
towards an archway into a tall unkempt
Hedge
weird how I don't have to drink the milk
anymore Kendra said on the morning she
awoke after the fairy kisses when she
went to the window she saw fairies
fluttering about it had taken a moment
to register that she had not yet
consumed any milk that day I'll admit
that it worries me somewhat grandpa said
creatures of Whimsy are not solely
confined to The Preserves the blindness
of mortals can be a blessing take care
where you look
I'd rather see things how they are
Kendra declared they passed under the
archway a group of seders are playing
tag with several slender maidens wearing
flowers in their hair the paddle boat
was adrift in the middle of the pond
fairies skim the surface of the water
and sword among the gazebos
I'll be curious to know what other
changes the fairies wrought in you
grandpa said I've never heard of such a
thing you'll let me know if you discover
any other Oddities like if I turn Seth
back into a walrus
I'm glad you could joke about it but I'm
serious
they walked up the steps to the nearest
Pavilion just toss it in Kendra asked I
think it would be best grandpa said if
the bull came from that Island you
should give it back
Kendra threw the bowl like a frisbee it
landed in the water almost immediately a
hand shot up and snatched it that was
quick Kendra said it'll probably end up
down with mendigo the nyads respect the
fairy queen they'll make sure the bull
ends up where it belongs Kendra looked
at the pier
she may not know you Grandpa sin I just
want to say goodbye whether she gets it
or not
they walked along the boardwalk until
they reached the Gazebo adjoined the
pier Kendra walked out to the end of the
pier Grandpa stayed a few steps behind
her remember not too close to the water
I know Kendra said
she leaned forward to look down into the
pond it was much clearer than it had
been at night she jumped a little when
she realized that the face looking up at
her was not her reflection the Nile
looked like a girl of about 16 with full
lips and a perfusion of gold hair
swirling about a face shaped like a
valentine
I want to talk to Lena Kendra said
loudly over pronouncing the words
she may not come grandpa said the night
kept staring at her get Lena please
Kendra repeated the night swam away
she'll come Kendra asserted they waited
nobody came
Kendra studied the water she turned her
hands into a megaphone around her mouth
Lena this is Kendra I want to speak with
you
several minutes passed Grandpa waited
with her patiently then a face rose
almost to the surface of the water right
at the end of the dock it was Lena her
hair was still white with a few black
strands though she looked no younger her
face had the same ageless quality
Nana hi it's Kendra remember
Lena smiled her face is barely an inch
from the water
I just wanted to say goodbye I really
enjoyed our talks I hope you don't mind
being an eye out again
are you mad at me
Lena motioned for Kendra to come closer
she put her hand by her mouth like she
wanted to share a secret her almond eyes
looked mirthful and excited they did not
match the white hair Kendra bent down a
little what Kendra asked Lena rolled her
eyes in motioned for her to come closer
Kendra crouched a little more and in the
same instance that Lena reached up for
her Grandpa Sorensen pulled her back
I told you grandpa said she is no longer
the woman she was back at the house
Kendra Lean Forward just enough to
appear over the edge again Lena stuck
her tongue out and swam away
at least she isn't suffering Kendra said
Grandpa walked her back to the gazebo in
silence she told me she would never
choose to return to Life as a nayad
Kendra said after a while
she said it more than once
I'm sure she meant it said Grandpa from
Where I Stood it didn't look like she
went willingly
I noticed the same thing I worried she
might be suffering I thought maybe she
needed us to save her
are you satisfied grandpa asked I'm not
even sure she remembered me Kendrick did
it at first I thought she did but I bet
she was faking trying to get me close
enough to drown me
probably
she doesn't miss being human
not from her current point of view
Grandpa agreed much like how being Anaya
did not sound very fulfilling to her
from a mortal perspective
why would the fairies do that to her
I don't think they saw it as a
punishment Lena was probably a victim of
good intentions
but Lena was arguing with them she
didn't want to go
Grandpa Shrugged the fairies might have
known once they restored her she would
change her mind looks like they were
right
remember the fairies experience
existence like the niads from their
point of view Lena was out of her mind
and wanting to be mortal they probably
thought they were curing her insanity
I'm glad they restored everybody else
Kendra said they just restored Lena too
much
are you sure she was Anaya to begin with
she didn't like the idea of Aging at
least she won't die now or get any older
no she won't
I still think she would rather be human
Grandpa frowned you may be right truth
be told if I knew a way of to reclaim
Lena I would I believe once she was
Mortal again she would be grateful but
anayad can only descend to a mortality
voluntarily in her current state I doubt
she would make that choice I'm sure she
is very disoriented perhaps in time she
will gain some perspective
what's it like for her
no way to be sure for all I know this is
a unique occurrence her memories of
mortality are apparently distorted if
she retains them at all
Kendra unconsciously Twisted a piece of
sleeve of her shirt a pained expression
on her face
so we just leave her there
for now for now I will do some research
and give the matter considerable thought
don't tear yourself up about it Lena
would not want that the alternative was
being devoured by a demon she looked
alright to me
they started back towards the wagon what
about the Society of the evening star
ask Kendra are they still a threat Miro
said she was in contact with them
Grandpa pinched his bottom lip the
society will be a threat as long as it
endures it is difficult for an Uninvited
Guest to gain access to a preserve
mortal or not some would say impossible
but the society has shown repeated
resourcefulness at circumventing
so-called impossible obstacles
fortunately we foiled their attempts to
use Muriel to free Bahama and overthrow
The Preserve but we now know they have
learned the whereabouts of Fablehaven we
will have to be more Vigilant than ever
what secret artifact is hidden here
it is unfortunate that your grandmother
had to share that secret with you I
realized it was a precaution in case
either of us were incapacitated but the
knowledge is a terrible burden to place
on children
you must never speak of it I have tried
to impress that idea on Seth as well
Heaven Help Us all I am the caretaker of
Fablehaven and I know little about the
artifact save that is hidden somewhere
on this property if members of the
Society of Evening Star are aware the
artifact is here and we will have every
reason to believe they are they will
stop at nothing to penetrate our
defenses and lay their hands on it
what will you do Kendra said what we
always do grandpa said consult with our
allies and take every measure to ensure
that our defenses remain intact the
society has known the location of dozens
or preserves for centuries and has yet
failed to infiltrate them they may pay
us extra attention but unless we let our
guard down there is little they can do
what about that ghost lady the one who
escaped while the fairies were trapping
Bahamut I do not know her story except
that she was obviously colluding with
our enemies I've never met many of the
dark beings who lurk in the inhospitable
corners of Fablehaven they reached the
wagon Grandpa boosted Kendra up and then
climbed in himself Hugo take us home
they rode in silence Kendra considered
all they had discussed the fate of Lena
and the impending threat of the Society
of the evening star the faithful night
that it seemed like the end of her
problems was starting to look like the
beginning
up ahead off to the side of the road
Dale was chopping a Fallen Tree into
firewood drenched in sweat he swung the
ax aggressively as the wagon rolled by
he glanced up at Kendra she smiled and
waved Dale gave a tight smile and looked
away returning to his chore
Kendra frowned what's up with Dale
lately do you think being turned into a
lead traumatized him I doubt he felt a
thing he's beating himself up over
something else
what don't say a word about this to him
Grandpa paused glancing towards Dale and
then went on speaking he feels bad that
his brother Warren was imprisoned when
the fairies were curing everybody
grandma said that Dale's brother is
catatonic I still haven't met him could
the fairies have helped Grandpa Shrugged
considering that they put Lena back in
the water changed imps back into fairies
and remade Hugo out of a pile of rubble
yes I imagine they could have cured
Warren
theoretically any magic that can be done
can also be undone Grandpa scratched his
cheek you have to understand last week I
would have said there was no possible
way of curing Warren believe me I have
investigated the subject thoroughly but
I've never heard of an imp changing back
into a fairy either it simply doesn't
happen
I wish I thought of it Kendra said
Warren didn't even cross my mind
not your fault in the slightest Warren
just wasn't in the right place at the
right time I'm grateful the rest of us
were
how did Warren get like that
that my dear is part of the problem we
have no idea he disappeared for three
days on the fourth he returned white is
a sheet he sat down in the garden and
hasn't said a word or responded to
anyone since
he can chew food and walk if you lead
him he can even do some simple chores if
you get him started but no communication
his mind is flown
Hugo stopped at the edge of the yard
Grandpa and Kendra climbed down Hugo
City or chores the Golem hauled the car
away
I'm Gonna Miss This Place Kendra said
taking in the bright flowers attended by
glittering fairies
your grandmother and I have waited a
long time to find somebody like you
among our posterity grandpa said trust
me you'll be back
Kendra grandma called up the stairs your
folks are here
I'll be right down Kendra sat alone on
her bed in the playroom Seth was already
downstairs she had packed her bags and
helped him with his Kendra sighed when
her parents had first dropped her off
she had counted the days until their
return now she almost felt reluctant to
see them
they knew nothing about the magical
nature of The Preserve there was no way
they could possibly relate to what she
had experienced
the only person she could share it with
was Seth anyone else would think she was
insane
just thinking about it made her feel
isolated
Kendra crossed the room to the painting
she had done in the pond it was a
perfect Keepsake from her stay a paint
by numbers drawn by anayad depicting the
location of the bravest Act of her life
yet she had hesitated to bring it with
the image stir too many painful memories
many of her experiences here have been
Dreadful she and her family had nearly
been killed and she'd lost a new friend
when Lena was returned to the pond
at the same time the painting might make
her long for the enchanted World Of The
Preserve so many aspects of Fablehaven
were wonderful life would seem so dry
after the extraordinary events of the
past couple of weeks either way the
painting might cause her pain but of
course those memories would persist with
or without the picture of the pond she
picked it up
the rest of her Banks were already
downstairs she cast a final glance
around the playroom treasuring the
details and walking out the door
she went down the stairs along the hall
and started down the staircase to the
entry hall her mom and dad stood in the
entry hall smiling up at her they had
notably gained weight especially dad he
looked 20 pounds heavier Seth stood near
Dad clutching his painting of the Dragon
you did a painting too Mom exclaimed
Kendra it's gorgeous
I had help she said reaching the bottom
of the stairs how was the cruise
we've made a lot of memories mom said
looks like dad ate plenty of snails as I
said dad rubbed his belly nobody warned
me about the desserts
you ready honey mom said putting an arm
around Kendra aren't you gonna look
around Kendra asked we walked the
grounds a bit while you were upstairs
and toured the lower rooms was there
something in particular you wanted to
show us
not really
we should probably get going dad said
opening the front door not too many days
ago that door had been mangled and an
arrow had protruded from the frame
outside Dill was loading the last of the
bags into the SUV Grandma and Grandpa
waited nearby on the driveway dad helped
Kendra and Seth load their paintings
while Mom think Grandma and Grandpa
Sorensen profusely
it was our pleasure grandma said
earnestly
you'll have to let them visit again
sometime soon Grandpa insisted I'd like
that Kendra said me too Seth agreed Seth
and Kendra hugged her grandparents
goodbye and then climbed into the SUV
Grandpa winked at Kendra dad started the
engine you kids have a good time
yeah Seth said amazing Kendra added
remember how worried you were when we
dropped you off mom said as she buckled
her seatbelt I bet it wasn't half as
scary as you imagined
Kendra and Seth shared a very special
look
