- Aya: Tell me, Kathy, are there people like us living in your world?
- Kathy Morgan: Yes, but most of them live in a place called China. Australia was first inhabited by Aborigines and then the English came.
- Mek: I've heard of the English: they're a primitive tribe who live in the Northern Hemisphere. They paint themselves blue and then they run around half-naked waving sticks.
- Kathy Morgan: [laughs] That's their football supporters.
- Mek: This world is a contradiction. It seems primitive, but it has powerful technology. How did the Spellbinder make that explosion?
- Kathy Morgan: I don't care! I just want to be back in a world where the worst thing that can happen is mass homework.
- [Kathy and Mek are plotting an escape form the labor camp]
- Ashka: You'll never get past the guards on your own. You'll need my help.
- Kathy: Why should we trust a prisoner?
- Ashka: Because you have no choice... and because I believe you're from another world.
- Kathy: You do?
- Ashka: It has happened before. A boy came to this world. He knew things no one else knew. The Regents wanted his knowledge, so they captured him and took him to the castle. He has never been seen again.
- Mek: Why would you want to help us?
- Ashka: My name is Ashka. I was a Spellbinder once. I tried to help the boy, but the Regents became very angry and made me a slave. They can be very cruel. If I help you escape this world, I want you to take me and my friend with you.
- Guard: Ashka, get back to work!
- [to Gryvon]
- Guard: You too!
- Ashka: Will you take us?
- [Mek nods]
- Ashka: Get ready, it won't be long.
