An old tail (oops - tale) is told...

As Dewin walked down the trail in the Woods looking for the Dragon, he realized  soon it would be Samhain (pronounced 'SAH-win').  The day celebrated as the end of light going into the shadows and the opportunity for great magicks.  For it was on October 31st that the magic of the Ether spilled into all other realms.  "How I would wait for that day each year to try a new conjuring," he remembered.  "But, now that I am in a Realm of magic, I had nearly forgotten how important that day was to me."

As he continued down the trail, deep in his thoughts of the various Samhain celebrations, he nearly bumped into Passporte'.  They both were traveling (in opposite directions and but with the same purpose) as Dewin was daydreaming about the past while Passporte' was trying to walk and write in his journal at the same time.  After all - time wasn't meant to be wasted for this time traveler. He wanted to capture his thoughts while they were still fresh in his mind about his newest adventure, looking for a Wish Dragon.

Startled out of their distractions, it was Dewin who spoke first.  "What brings you out today Passporte'?  You found something new to add to your journal?"

"Oh, hi Dewin.  Yes, I have recently heard rumors about a Dragon being seen in the woods and decided I would go out and see if I could find it.  What brings you out?" asked Passporte'.

Not wanting to tell the adventurer that he too was looking for the Dragon (for reasons he knew Passporte' would not approve of...), Dewin told him the first thing that came to his mind.  "I was remembering about the old holiday I used to wait for each year called Samhain (also now know as All Hallows Eve or Halloween).  You probably have never heard of it."

"Actually I have," answered Passporte'.  His answer surprised Dewin so much, it took a minute before he realized that Passporte' was rummaging through his satchel, looking for a small scroll.  "Here it is!" he exclaimed.  "I once heard a story from Scarlet, the Nytemare's farrier, about this special time and how magick ran amok that night...  Would you like to read it?" Passporte' asked Dewin.
