Lost Creek Hollow Time is life itself

Sarah did not understand the "I just have to choose" part, but did not dwell on it either. There was a high possibility that in the course of the conversation about this subject she could easily insult Gannet and, since he was the only person here, who counted as an "almost friend", she did not want to gamble it away just now.

She had to think for a while about the next topic - did she want to be a queen again? An immediate answer would have been "yes", but only in that case, if things could go back as it had been again. In reality, it was not the high title she yearned for, but for the days that were gone already and would never return. "I never walk the same path twice," she eventually replied. "I think I am here now to learn something."

What exactly was it, she did not know yet, but had a feeling that by living one day at a time, taking small steps forward, she would be able to look back at all of this and see the reason. "What do you want to do?" she asked.
