[Hmmm. Kaveh ponders this.]

I don't think I've come across that story, but I haven't read the full collection. The ones I've read were stories about things like the people without shadows and dreams, or the tale of the bird chaser.

[Which was about a couple, but they weren't royalty...

His brow furrows slightly.]

What do you mean, you might not always be Ylfa?

...I don't know. People have a name that's important, you can just tell. When we meet powerful entities they call you by that name. Like. My friends Pinocchio and Pib are always Pinocchio and Puss in Boots, but they call me Little Red Riding Hood and they call Rosamund Sleeping Beauty and they call Gerard the Frog Prince.

I think it's because in the pages of our books, that's what we're called. The name Ylfa isn't written there.
