Arnie glanced at the others and realized that none of them had heard the voice and they were still discussing how to start out in search of the Dream Weaver's cottage --- now that they decided the spoon was indeed the key. As she still watched them, she again heard the voice.  "I will tell you how to find the cottage, but first you must do something to protect yourself in the Dream world." 

Arnie was barely listening.  The words of the crystal telling her that one may be lost was making her not want to go in the first place. "I don't want to be responsible for others..." she mumbled to herself as she listened to the rest of the group discussing what supplies they would need for the journey.

As the others gathered around her, she waived her hands in a strange circular pattern and the the lock opened, the lid slowly lifted, and a glow shined out. Everyone moved a little closer to see what was inside and soon discovered a large glowing crystal.  "This is a finding crystal.  It only works for a 'true seeker'.  I believe that Arnie may be one," Awena told the others.

"But what are you doing here Arnie?  Shouldn't you be out looking for clues for Dree's mission?" asked the Troll King.  "I am," answered Arnie defending herself. "Or at least I was until Roslie and Hazelwyn said they needed me in 'finding' a key.  Now that I am a Finder, I just had to help them.  But I also don't believe in coincidence.  Meeting you here Dulbbe in this strange place, reminded me of Dree's request, just as I found out that the 'key' I am looking for is the same key-spoon or spoon-key or whatever that is needed for finding the Dreamweavers," as Arnie threw up her hands in bewilderment.

​Borrowers are often mistaken for Gremblins. I mean who else takes the sock out of the dryer or moves the glasses or keys when one knew just where they had left them.  But remember, a Borrower always replaces what they 'borrow' with something else or they return it if another thing catches their eye before they move on.  The thrill of the 'borrow' is being able to find a way in and out without anyone else knowing (that and maybe having someone else blamed - that is considered the perfect 'borrow' to a Borrower).

By finding some mysterious Dragon tablet which drew the attention of the organization called COG (Cooperation of Organized Grunts).  For nothing is worse that getting caught in the crosshairs of those that are the true power behind the Power.

"Is that the same spoon that came out of the Bag of Possibilities that Meerher and E'luminosity of the Moonies gave to the young Moon Dragon?" asked Hazelwyn. "If I remember right it was instrumental in helping to save those in the World of Whispers and also frighten off that old baddie of a Dragon Queen, Siate'.  I am sure I read about that in one of Snoop's editions of the Bellwether newspaper."

"After all, with this month not only having a New Moon in it but also a Blue Moon she might be helpful to us," Arnie continued. 

"I don't know her well," answered Arnie, "But I know she was instrumental in helping our young Dragon friend, Hungry, evolve into the Moon Dragon he became."  

"Also she 'sees' things and I hope she can tell us more about these Dream Weavers.  After all, her Order of the Sleeping Sisters goes way back to the beginning of the Realm of Wymsy and I hope she will share some of that knowledge," continued Arnie. 

"Yes," answered Giuliano, "Especially the strange one that came from an unusual place called Montana.  She said that Montana means "mountainous" and a lot of Fae live where she lives.  She called herself a Dreamweaver,  whatever that means."

"She went on to explain she spins fairytales out of dreams and wishes.  Almost like that Cinderella story that we heard about from cousin ​Taddeo Codefiero (Proud-tailed)."

Not to be outdone, Rinaldo decided to tell Giuliano about a stranger he had met as well.  "While making my rounds, I met a funny looking frog in the library who wears glasses and reads!" replied Rinaldo. "Though he prefer to call himself a Bibliophile Amphibian.  He even has a long distance relative that is famous from some story about willow trees and the wind.  How strange is that?"

Here is the artist, Mario, who creates these frogs and book mice.  He even goes one step further by making the box/home look like a book from the outside too.
