Winter's Tale Page #3

But maybe when I get back,

I was wondering if...

I'm going to the country myself.

And by the time you get back...

I'll already be dead.

Please don't steal anything

on your way out.

Horse.

What have you gotten

me into, horse?

Table! That one.

Mr. Soames, sir.

How many are you going to have?

Just keep them coming.

I'll tell you what

they're trying to do.

What they're trying to do is to

fill the whole sky with stars.

They got little spots all picked out up

there for each and every virtuous soul.

Ain't no room in the heavens for the

likes of us, though, boys. Heh.

No room for Pearly Soames.

No room at all.

I wonder how they choose

the color of their wings.

I've always wanted wings.

I'd like a pair of wings myself,

you know?

Anything more, sir?

Oh, yes, please.

I would like to have a South

African spotted eagle owl...

uh, if you could butterfly

it, thank you...

and pan-fry it, uh, with some

potatoes would be lovely.

A little bit of parsley on top. Take

off the beak and the feet, please.

I'm sorry, sir. Don't got no owl.

Find her.

You find her, and

you're gonna find him.

- Find who?

- The girl.

- What girl?

- The red-haired girl.

Which red-haired girl?

That one. You see, Romeo?

That red-haired girl.

The one who is his destiny.

That all of it, miss?

All of it? Heh.

No, not even close.

What?

I just remembered the day we pulled you out

of the drink in that silly little boat.

I need some friendly advice.

I met a girl.

- Oh, I see.

- We've nothing in common.

Hmm.

- She's dying.

- Well, aren't we all?

Well, not just dying.

She's consumptive.

- Ah.

- Near death.

We've only just met.

- I feel like I've known her a thousand years.

- Hmm.

Pearly's on top of me. If I don't get out

of town, I'm as good as killing myself.

Peter, is there a question here?

What should I do?

When I think of her...

I've never felt this way before.

Why now?

Peter, our people have 10 songs.

The songs tell us that inside

of each of us is a miracle.

And that miracle is meant for one

person, and one person alone.

And when we're close,

the universe reaches down...

and helps us fulfill our destiny.

And the universe helps us?

How, exactly?

Well, the universe sends

us spirit guides.

Sometimes they speak to us

through small children.

They often appear as animals.

One is Athansor. He's

the Dog of the East.

He sometimes appears

as a white horse.

Perhaps this girl is the person

that your miracle is for.

But if so, know this:

- Chaos has agents too.

- What are you talking about?

God and the devil?

Angels and demons?

Those are some of the

newer names, yes.

All I know...

is that I'm pulled to her...
