The Wishing Dildo Part 1: Six Companions
Chapter 2
This story is continuing from Chapter 1, which you can read here.
That evening, Prince Hart and Tala were the guests of honor at an elegant supper at which the local nobility did their best to impress the prince on short notice. As the lead masons within the city, many members of Tomás’ family were also present. Normally, commoners such as themselves would have been seated at a distant table on the other side of the room, but Prince Hart asked that they be seated next to him in recognition of their skill and hard work on the future library.
Interestingly, each member of Tomás’s family brought their own hefty ceramic cups and bulky cast-iron utensils with them, which they used in place of the fine cutlery and crystal glasses that had been provided by the nobility. So as to avoid offense, Tomás explained that the weight of these cups and utensils helped reduce the effects of the family tremor while they were eating. Indeed, even with the added weight, several of the family elders experienced shaking that was strong enough to spill wine and fling food. At one point, there was a tense moment when the grandmother’s spoon ended up on Prince Hart’s plate, but he just laughed and handed it back to her, and with this, everyone finally relaxed. All further mishaps were handled with grace and humor.
At the conclusion of the meal, Prince Hart and Tala explained the goal of their journey and told everyone about the Wishing Dildo. As they spoke, Tomás’s family listened with rapt attention. Afterward, many significant looks were exchanged between members of the family.
“That is a challenging quest to undertake,” said the grandmother. “Perhaps you would benefit from taking a strong and skilled companion with you.”
“I’m sure we would benefit from that,” replied Prince Hart.
Tomás cleared his throat uncomfortably and said, “The Wishing Dildo would allow me to address a personal matter of great significance.”
“Then you should come with us!” declared Tala.
“I do have many responsibilities here,” replied Tomás.
“Don’t be silly!” said Tomás’s sister. “We’ll find a way to manage! This is important!”
“Yes,” said his father. “This is an important opportunity, and we will do whatever is necessary to make it happen for you.”
“You are welcome to come with us,” said Prince Hart.
“In that case,” replied Tomás, “I would be honored to accompany you.”
The next day, the three of them followed the coast south and crossed the border into the Kingdom of Gulls. An important trading partner, this coastal kingdom had the most advanced fleet in the Green Ocean. Their ships went south across the formidable barrier that was the Stormy Sea to the islands of the Sunken Sea and even to the Land of Gold that lay beyond. And when they went on these great journeys, they carried with them silver, wine, perfume, silk, linen, and saffron from the Kingdom of Five Quadrants.
Not far past the border, evidence of this kingdom’s greatest import quickly became apparent. You see, the Kingdom of Gulls was an importer of knowledge, and as such, it was a kingdom of innovation and invention. Many of these inventions were powered by the wind, and the coastal countryside was dotted with windmills. However, despite the frequent coastal wind and rain, on this particular sunny day, there was not the slightest breeze coming from any direction, and all of the windmills were still.
After they had been riding for some time, the three companions climbed over a hill and saw a single windmill slowly turning in the distance.
“All of the other windmills are still as stones, and there’s not a breeze around,” said Tomás. “What in the world can be driving that?”
Well, they continued on until they came to a short, tan woman with a round face and shoulder-length black hair, sitting in a tree. She was leaning forward in a most undignified manner and was using her left hand to hold one nostril closed while blowing through the other.
“Hello!” cried out Tala. “What are you doing up there?”
“I’m blowing the windmill to make it turn!” the woman replied.
“Impressive!” said Tala.
“I’ve done better,” replied the woman. “I’m practicing.”
Then the woman grabbed a small branch, intending to swing confidently down to meet them. However, when she put her full weight on the branch, it bent straight down. “Eek!” she squeaked as the branch slipped through her fingers.
The woman landed with a crash in a bush at the base of the tree, but she jumped right back up onto her feet, saying, “I’m okay! I’m okay!” as she tried unsuccessfully to hide her embarrassment.
Tomás and Prince Hart were wide eyed and speechless. Tala, however, knew just what to do. She smiled cheerfully, stepped forward, and said, “It is a pleasure to meet you. I’m Tala! And this is Tomás and Prince Hart!”
“I’m Min,” the woman introduced herself. “So…uh, where exactly are you headed? You have really full saddlebags, so it looks like you are going on a long trip—not that I’m interested in your saddlebags; I mean, I’m not a thief or anything, just, uh…you look like you are on a journey?”
“We are!” said Tala. Then she told Min all about their quest.
“Oh, wow!” Min exclaimed, “I wish I could come with you! I know exactly what I’d wish for!”
“Then come with us!” replied Tala. “I’m sure we could use your talents.”
“Really?!” exclaimed Min.
“Yes, definitely!” replied Tala.
Excited, Min grabbed her bag, canteen, and gloves, checked them twice, and then the four of them were off, riding south toward the capital of the Kingdom of Gulls.
