Ingress had a brilliant birthday. She’s eleven. Eleven is nearly grown up! It’s also the year when children in the stories she’s read come into their own. Adventures begin, schooling starts, worlds are saved… she can hardly wait to see what will happen next.

Her party earlier was such fun. Door was almost nice to Puck; Ingress had worried a little about that after she invited him. But he was very nice and charming, and Tom was nice, too, and Puck helped Ingress steal lots of roses off the cake while Havelock talked to Tom and Door, and it was brilliant.

She ate far too much icing sugar, but Tom had the peppermint potion waiting for her when the party was over. She feels much better now. And she’s eleven!

It sounds so good in her head. Eleven, eleven, eleven.

She should have asked Mary to stay the night with her, she thinks, as she tosses and turns. She’s never going to fall asleep, even with staying up past her bedtime. Tom and Door insisted she go to bed after she started yawning. They can be so silly sometimes.

She tosses one more time, and she thinks, again, how impossible it will be to go to sleep tonight. Her eyelids flutter and close. It is not long before she’s deep in dreams.

The Pirate King beams at her as he takes it, "Thank you, the hate suits you."

Then he looks up to a far horizon that only he can see,

"A sail is on the horizon. To piracy with cake!

Enzo follows her, carrying a large picnic basket and happily humming something Russian-sounding.

"Save journey, dear," Mia replies, giving her a kiss on the cheek in return and waving goodbye as she and Nall fly towards Vane, aloft with many colorful balloons.

"Late spring," he says, with a small fond smile. "Just starting to be summer. 'S a good time."

"You wield the sword beautifully."

The cake is quite impressive, there's even a pirate up in the crow's nest who waves to Ingress.

Enzo bounds after her, gaining a little height every time he... gains height.

"Look!" he cries, pointing into the sky. "There's another one!"
a1enzo: (smiling down)

"No, not that, that," he chides, although it is a very nice butterfly. "There's another moon above this one!"

"Okay! I'm going to see how high it goes."

The green man, already climbing, grins down at her.

"You will, too."

"Wise of you."

(Time shifts and changes: now Vanyel's flickering in and out, and the trees behind him are visible through his body. Perhaps, if Ingress looks down, she'll see the gittern Vanyel was holding, grown into the roots of the nearest tree.)

::Ride well, Herald Ingress.::

(Now there's no one here at all.)

He gestures with the straw. "Home is where, when you have to go there, they give you ice cream."

And takes a long drink.

"No. Not this time, at least."

It's the Hope, this go-round, shining and larger than she should be, floating on the lake and taking up the center of Mal's vision.

"This is the goal. Always."

"That part gets easier, little one. You remember me, after all."

"And also tasty." He grins.

"Are you looking forward to Haven?"

"Cheese," says Grace, immediately. The look she gives the camera is vaguely calculating, as if she's trying to decide what to do with it if it doesn't produce an image that meets her high standards. Alanna ruins it by ruffling her hair, which makes the girl sigh in frustration. "Ma. It was perfect, and now it's all messed up."

"You'll live," the knight grins.

"Yes, for eternity," a wave at the camera, "looking like this."

"It is a shame about her face," Jamie jokes to Ingress.

"Yours is very similar," Thom points out. "I don't know that it's at all effective to tease her about it since that is the case."
