Does a happy ending for these toys require that they turn back into humans?
Let's ask the Fortune Teller. She's a toyfolk from the Funlands region of Toyland.
"Names are the oldest kind of magic, and they hold tremendous power in the faerie realm. I shall print out nine cards, each tied to the names of someone on this island. They will reveal what futures they have in store.
…I think this is the Shining Torch. This old card has been battered and beaten. Whatever meaning it once had has been lost. But as a light, perhaps it will guide others out of darkness.
The Free Man. One who is neither slave or serf. A fool no longer scared of leaving his box?
The Dolorous. Pain and sorrow. I know it hurts, but we must learn to move forward.
The Hero(ine) of God. God is their strength. The messenger, harbinger, annunciator. It delivers the Good News. It may seem weak, but it holds an unconventional strength.
The Humbled. One who is small. One who has been knocked down a peg and learned a lesson. It can also mean “young” - perhaps it pertains to a certain hatchling?
The Fair One. Just like the Fair Folk, it is morally dubious. But they do believe one good turn deserves another. Is it villainous to follow one's heart?
The Gazelle. A gracious creature. A prey animal. One who is familiar with fear and death. It is an animal of goodwill and grace. Hm, I sense their transformation is not quite done.
The Honey. Joy, sweetness, pleasure, to have all their needs taken care of. Wasn't this what they always wanted?
The Sea. Bitter and tumultuous. A tempest to be calmed. It seems that an extra card was erroneously printed alongside it - The Victory card. A triumph? A defeat of an enemy? A winning of a game? But for whom?"
