This was delightful :) I especially liked the descriptions of the Wir (singular of Wiri?): "voice like a muted avalanche, a glacial smile, earthquake of a laugh."

A tough assignment for two thousand words, but you did a good job of character development and putting me in Penelope's space.

Entertaining, fun, and gave me pleasant nostalgia of Alice in Wonderland but with Smurfs. :D

Wow, this is a lighthearted take on a chase that warmed my heart and put a smile on my face as I remember many childhood tales. How lovely!
