About this ebook

Helena the Most High waits for her student. Primcella is to take
her final test before becoming a Miss Perfect. Mericolt is already
seated at his table, his test in front of him. He’ll earn his “Mysterious”
title if he passes. Suddenly, The Land Where Anything is Possible
begins to shake. Helena smiles and calmly calls on the Pearls of
Wisdom to balance the planet. No answer. The planet keeps shaking.
Mericolt watches as Primcella’s nametag bounces up and down before
falling off the table and landing upside down in the grass. What does
that mean? Before he can pick up her nametag, Zero the Unattached
bounces out of the mist, his space jumping shoes carrying him across
the student’s table. Mericolt sees Zero drop a note that lands in
front of Helena. Mericolt picks up the note and reads part of the
first sentence before handing the note to Helena: “The Pearls of
Wisdom are missing---“ Helena gasps when she sees the message.
Something is terribly wrong. “Where’s Primcella?” she asks.

    Where's Primcella? - Sandra Sherrod

    Quadrants

    The Land Where Anything is Possible sits smack dab in the middle of the Greater Universe, and the Most High Castle sits smack dab in the middle of the Land Where Anything is Possible. The fabled land has two suns and three moons. Everyone keeps time by the colors the two suns and three moons make as they travel across the sky. The first sun and first moon fashion a silvery green color and smell of sage. During the second sun and the second moon, a lavender mist spreads overhead and smells like the herb. During the third moon the mist turns a light turquoise and it rains, making the Land Where Anything is Possible smell clean and fresh.

    Helena is the Most High of the Land Where Anything is Possible. It’s a job she didn’t want or seek, but Clare the Most High disappeared and the throne was left empty. Who was going to keep the four Quadrants of the Greater Universe balanced? That was the question everyone asked. Only two large stars, one on either side of the Greater Universe, held the four Quadrants in place. Someone had to sit on the throne in the Land Where Anything is Possible to keep the Greater Universe from slipping sideways. Clare the Most High said, and everyone agreed, that keeping the Greater Universe stable was like balancing a pancake on a string.

    It had been the policy of Clare the Most High to welcome everyone to the Main Castle and common knowledge that by knocking twice on the Castle’s front door, it would open. The Most High Chamber was down the hall, door number three. Knocking gently and waiting a moment, the Most High would call, enter.

    That’s exactly what Tralog did. He knocked on the Main Castle door and it opened. Then he walked down the hall to the third door and knocked. Come in, Clare the Most High called and Tralog went in.

    Clare expected to see someone she knew---an Inventor Extraordinaire, who wanted to ask a question about his newest invention, or someone who wanted to find an important item, or a person who had moved and not left a forwarding address. Clare prided herself in keeping records of important events, items and precious objects, where they were kept, who had borrowed them and when, and if they’d been returned.

    She’d never seen the person standing in front of her. In fact she wondered if he was from the Greater Universe. He was dressed in tight-fitting clothes, not at all like their loose-fitting outfits, and his suit was green.

    Tell me your name, she said. I don’t think I know you.

    Tralog bowed slightly, but kept his eyes on the tiara entwined in Clare the Most High’s dark hair. It was rumored, that the rays from her tiara flashed messages to important people. He was afraid that her tiara would inform the Inventors Extraordinaire or the Soothsayers that the Land Where Anything is Possible were in danger. Since Clare never imagined anyone harming her or anyone in the Greater Universe, she paid no attention to his shifty eyes or the sneer on his lips. What she did notice is he wore green, a dark green. No one in the Greater Universe wore green, that color was reserved for the abundant plant life. Everyone thought that the plants shouldn’t have to share the color green with them.

    Tralog walked toward Clare’s throne, smiling. When he was close enough to touch her chair, he yelled. You are in my castle!

    What? He spoke so forcefully she leaned back, eyed him for a moment, and then asked him to repeat himself.

    You’re sitting in my throne. I own this castle! Leave now, Tralog leaned forward until his face was inches from Clare’s. Out! Out!

    Clare pointed to the Royal Tiara entwined in her hair. I am the Most High of the Land Where Anything is Possible and the Greater Universe. As she spoke a beam from her tiara flashed, nearly blinding Tralog. He put his hands over his eyes and backed out.

    Just as he neared the front door, Lana-Clare came running in, holding a flower. Mother, I can--- Tralog bent down, circled his arms around Little Clare and lifted her off the ground. Lana-Clare dropped the plant she was going to show her mother, when Tralog threw her over his shoulder. He ran out of the castle, across the lawn and jumped on a waiting dragon. Everyone agreed later that it couldn’t have been a dragon. No dragons lived in their fabled lands.

    Clare the Most High shot out of her chair and followed Tralog out of the Castle, down the twelve steps, screaming that someone had Little Clare. No one heard her. She watched the intruder fly above the trees, and then beyond the second sun, into the empty space of the Greater Universe.

    Little Clare took the ribbon from her hair and trailed it behind her, leaving a path of sparkles for Clare to follow. The Most High ordered a special Skyhook and disappeared into the beyond following the trail Little Clare left.

    No one had seen Tralog or knew what happened to Clare the Most High. Genetor, an Inventor Extraordinaire, who was staying at the Castle working on his newest invention, found Clare’s tiara in the middle of the Main Hall. It sparkled a garbled message that no one understood. Genetor knew that when Clare was hurrying, sometimes her tiara slipped sideways and almost fell, but no one had ever seen the tiara actually fall off her head. Never.

    Something else was wrong. Lana-Clare’s teacher couldn’t find her student. Being full of energy Little Clare often jumped up and ran down the hall to show her mother something. The teacher, explained to everyone who asked, that Little Clare was learning plant-speak and had taken the plant with her. When Little Clare didn’t return, the teacher searched in the usual places. She wasn’t in the kitchen begging the cook for a small piece of pie or wandering the hallways talking to visitors. Nor was she in Clare’s chamber, in fact no one was in Clare’s chamber. How odd. But the plant was on the floor, nearly crushed, as if it was dropped.

    After the Most High and Little Clare had been missing for three sun/moon changes, a notice was posted. Seth the Soothsayer came to the Main Castle immediately. He’d seen a dark streak cross the sky directly over the Main Castle and felt something most unusual had happened.

    The rotund Soothsayer sat in a chair near where the tiara was found. He looked at the spot for a while and asked questions. Questions no one could answer. Finally, he closed his eyes and the scene of Little Clare’s capture played across his mind. He gasped. She’s gone, he whispered, seeing Clare disappear.

    Everyone stepped closer. Who is gone, they wanted to know. He grunted as if in pain, and then tears rolled down his face in rivulets, making a puddle on the floor.

    An invasion, he said. No one had ever heard the word, invasion. Nor did they understand the Soothsayer when he tried to explain what an invasion meant.
