What a fun piece! I love how the two different worlds and times come together to beth decide we’re just screwed. The imagery is crisp, and I like the touches of the wood staff and the chair, how they’re symbolic of the gnarly wisdom of Anwylyd. Her understanding of the modern jargon in her own way is a great touch that pulled me from the page to think about how accurate this would, and I love it! “Tech-knowledgies” is how I think she’d see it in her head, or something very close to it, and that’s the point of the spelling, I believe. The meshing of the two worlds is great, and I hope there was wonderful fun in creating this aspect. The details make all the difference, and this piece has those specifics that make the story believable and real, to the point that I would be interested in reading an expanded version of this. It is apparent that fantasy is a niche for you, and I’m happy you fit there. And I love an ending that makes me think. This is a great piece, worth five stars!
