 | A little bit about the Borrowers as one begins to take shape in the hidden region of my craftroom. The Borrowers have always been able to go back and forth between the Shadows and the Villagers, but they also can go into the other "domain" where the Outies rule. Even with all of this traveling, few have ever really seen one. Oh, they are talked about and people know they are real, but what they look like is mostly a mystery. But why? |
| Borrowers are often mistaken for Gremblins (they are distant cousins to what Outies call Gremlins but with one major difference - Gremblins never destroy anything or cause harm like Gremlins do, they only change the appearance of things making them harder to find) which the borrowers find humorous as they have no problems letting the Gremblins mistakenly take the blame for often a Borrower's actions. 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. |  |
Borrowers don't use their magic to get in and out of places. They think that by using magic it is somehow cheating and lowering their 'borrowing' skills (which they are most prideful of). 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).
 | The Borrowers have several keys to all the portals they use (like the Brownies) which give them the ability to go back and forth between any place and dimension - but one key has been denied to them for many eons. It is a key of legend known to the Borrowers and they have been on the lookout for it but have never found it. Many have followed the clues to where it might be found but no Borrower even knows what the key looks like for sure. Was it a skeleton key, a padlock key, or maybe something different - like a key word? |
Now that they have recently found a tablet written by the Dragons their hope is renewed that maybe it will lead them to the key! One small problem... they can't read it. Okay, maybe two small problems - the Borrower who will soon take shape has a thought - maybe their thinking has been a skewed? Maybe instead of looking for a "key"... maybe the "key" is something else entirely - maybe even a little Wish Dragon???
