Tales From Dargo Island: The Complete Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
I turned to Astrid, who was looking up at something in a tree in front of her. I tried to walk as fast as I could, but I was still getting used to my old body. Though I looked—and felt—seventy years old, I was actually nineteen. Astrid Albright, who is the same age as me, had her whole life to adjust to the curse that affected us. She was born with it. I looked up at the hot sun, which felt horrible on my skin. I’d been cursed two weeks ago, when I tried ridding Astrid of it. It had been a dumb plan, but I’d been so sure I could do it. Now I know better. Astrid wore her old age well. She stood up straighter than me, and her blue curly hair looked beautiful. Her yellow dress blew in a slight wind, and I wondered if her father Nalke was with us. He is a “nature demon,” so he controlled almost everything, including the weather. I stopped next to Astrid and looked up at the tree. There were so many in the jungle in front of us, so it took me a few moments to find hers. I saw a dark-red bird staring right at us and figured that was the one.
