Mostly, she hated the rocking and rolling. No matter what she did, she constantly felt sick. Everyone tried to help. But nothing they suggested worked for her. Finally, after watching Meg suffer and grow weake...

A Metaphysical, visionary, fantasy, adventure:
“Open up, Hannah,” Beru urged me as we ran. “Accept the help that is being offered to you. Breathe it in.”
I was panting so hard I had no breath to ask her what she meant by help. I was nearing my last ounce of energy, and neither Beru nor Ruta seemed tired at all. They definitely knew something I didn’t know.
“You don’t know what I am talking about?” Beru asked.
Up ahead I heard R...

A Metaphysical, visionary, fantasy, adventure:
Ruta moved through the woods faster than I thought possible. Beru was even quicker. She kept circling back behind me and then running ahead of Ruta, and then coming back to me. I was running faster than I had ever run before, so how she was doing that was a mystery.

A Metaphysical, visionary, fantasy, adventure:
Still holding my head, I started to follow the bird that looked like Lady into the forest until I realized what I was doing.
I was following something into somewhere without questioning what was happening. It was like getting into a strange car with an unknown person.
