"The Seven Golden Keys"

“The Seven Golden Keys” is a fairy tale for children based on a true story. The story involves a father spending years searching for the golden keys which will free his daughter, held captive by a witch in a silver castle. When the father finds the keys and saves his daughter, she does not recognize him, and insists he cannot be her father as she leaves. The father is heartbroken, and must endure a tremendous loss – even though he is a hero. “The Seven Golden Keys” is given to Quentin by Elaine in Outer Island, both to orient him to the idea of seven golden keys, and to lay the groundwork for the loss that he will eventually face.
