A Run???

While Roslie was sitting in the library reading about this strange holiday in the Realm of Wymsy called Dragonfaust, she spied Granny Flare around the corner.

"Here I was thinking of who to ask for more information," Roslie thought to herself.  "Granny Flare had been so helpful with the rescue mission of those lost in the World of Whispers, that maybe she won't mind answering my questions."

With that thought in mind, Roslie got up from behind the desk and walked over to the House Brownie known as Granny Flare.  With a shy nod to her head she cleared her throat as she stood before Granny.  Roslie than said "Hello Fae One" using the traditional greeting from one Fae to another that were unfamiliar to each other. Granny hearing the traditional greeting, smiled and stopped her magical writing in her book.  Returning the traditional greeting, Granny asked "Is there something I can  help you with?"  For House Brownies did like making new friends and helping others where they could.

Roslie went on to tell Granny on how she was new in the area.  After all, she had been one of the "rescued" from the World of Whispers.  "I discovered this great newspaper called the Bellwether and I am a bit was puzzled by this holiday coming up called Dragonfaust," Roslie asked.  She went on to say on how she had been reading about the holiday and was wondering if Granny could help her understand it.

She understood that Wish Dragons had been causing their usual chaos by granting these wishes for the young ladies for romance... but she couldn't understand the running and dragging part.

"Let's get comfortable," Granny said, waving her hands toward some lovely stuffed chairs in a corner.  As they sat down Granny then continued telling Roslie that after the Wish Dragons had left the Realms, the young maidens were indeed frustrated at finding dates, let alone a true love match. 

One of the young maidens had heard of the tradition in the Outie's world called Sadie Hawkins day.  It was where young ladies chased young men to capture them for marriage and then dragged them in front a minister, who would be happy to perform the wedding ceremony.

Granny went on to explain how Fae who live a lot longer than Outies weren't usually looking for long-term commitments, but a fun way to meet the young males in the area did sound exciting to these young Fae.  A group of the local females were able to convince those in the Village on the Wall that this would be a exciting adventure. There is nothing more enticing to a Fae than the word 'adventure'.  So, that was how Dragonfaust was started.

But then the maidens discovered it wasn't as much fun as they thought it would be.  After all that running high and low, looking for some lowly male just for a date, let alone for True Love, was just too much!

This was also about the time the young damsels found the Sugar Plum Bakery. For they knew they did not need to be rescued, nor worry any longer about True Love for they found fun and an adventure in their new friendships and the wonderfully sweet pink drink ​called Twinkleblossom Brew.

"And that is how Dragonfaust day had evolved more in a 'girls night out'," Granny explained.  Since eventually everyone ends up at the Sugar Plum Bakery, so the young lasses did finally find that the young lads in the area also enjoyed an evening out too.

Roslie thought about what Granny had said for a moment and then asked a question no one else had thought about.  "So what happens now that the Wish Dragons have returned?"
