From is a fable. The three people chosen by the cicadas were not an accident. Julie, the story walker. The one who has already done things that create and advance the story (throwing the rope to Boyd, knocking on the diner door to stop Randall from harming Kenny, most likely telling a story to the children to give them hope thereby creating the faraway tree). Randall, the warrior. He will be the one to carve the talismans (that Julie will place), as they showed him carving a face in wood in S2. That wasn’t an accident. Mari, is the healing fairy. Who are they trying to save? The children. Where to save them? The lake of tears. What is Mari? A pediatric nurse. Smiley wasn’t supposed to harm Mari. He went off script and the monster did what it did. With him harming Mari, it will actually help them leave this place and close the loop. There’s a reason why Mari heard the screams of everyone who has their soul trapped in Fromville. Fatima will help them get to the lake of tears, which is underground guarded by a large spider, who Randall will defeat as a sort of David V Goliath sort of thing. He is smallest guy outside of Ethan. It makes sense he would be the warrior because he first appeared selfish but he really wasn’t. He went into a house to help a woman he didn’t know. The Story-walker, the Warrior, the Healer. That is your fable.
