While inside her crate, and away from anyone's eyes and ears, Ayo couldn't stop herself from thinking, no matter how much she tried.

The Authority was pretty broad and vague. Were everyone else's that way? What would such a claim even allow them to do? Alter reality? Or was it like hers, where things simply work out for them - nobody to stop them, nothing to get in their way. How far would that take you? Would laws not apply? Where would it end?

She'd have to sate her curiosity when they reached their destination, at the very least. Part of her also wondered if failing to input the phrase would leave her stranded, crate and carriage vanishing around her so she just fell to the ground like an opossum. Or maybe there'd be two carriages to compensate.

Ayo bit her lip and screwed her eyes shut. [i]Too much.[/i] There'd be time for questions back home.

After their plan succeeded and they were hitched to the train, Ayo emerged on the top of the carriage, her coat pockets jingling from the handfuls of treasure she stashed away. If people here took the stuff, then it was as good as gold.
