In the belly...

The bright flash of light was still blinding to those standing around during the magical transformation that was happening in the Shadows' King's garden.  Suddenly, swirly sparkling blue flames surrounded The CAT.  Being the little Wish Dragon's Spite with a loud whoosh he was pulled from the joined hands of the Goodie sisters and into the crack of the large crystal egg.  
As Goodiegood regains her balance she notices Goodie2shues off to her right but can't see her other sister.  "Where is Goodie4U?" she yells to her sister Goodie2shues. The youngest sister shaking her head as she is still confused by what has happened with their spell, shrugs her shoulders and just looks at her sister.  Realizing that she doesn't know either, Goodiegood continued, "We have to get these blue flames under control for if they spread to those helping us here, it will drive them into become Creatures of Chaos!"  
​As the two sisters were trying to decide what to do, the blue flames starts to flow from the cracked crystal and slowly spreading out landing on the others in the garden.  Soon it is in their hair, gliding over their feet, and starting to creep up their legs which starts them to snarl and growl at each other.  As the blue flames continue to spread, Goodie4U appears from across the garden.  She has noticed that it appeared that her sisters were still unaffected by the blue flame but it would only be a matter of time before that would change.  Deciding to take the chance, she starts walking very fast toward them.  She couldn't run to their side as she was holding the solution to the problem and didn't want to drop it.
"It was a good thing that I listen to my dreams," thought Goodie4U, "when I saw something like this was going to happen."  Since the second Goodie sister had the good luck to know what might happen at this ritual from her dream,  she had already stashed away what she needed in order to beat out the flames of Chaos.
​"One of the most frustrating parts of being a Seer is that one must keep quiet about the future and let it play out in order not to change the events,"  Goodie4U grumbled to herself.
She had known - even to the point of not being able to tell her sisters - that in order for them to bring their recipe for success together she could not say a word to any of them.  As soon as the sisters had started their spell, Goodie4U knew she hadn't any more time than what it took to lick a spoon before chaos was going to burst forth.  She had dashed off to where she had hidden her supplies and then ​reconstituted them into what she now held... a Moonflower cake!
Picture
As Goodie4U approaches her sisters with the cake in her hands, calmly she tells them, "This is a Moonflower cake that we can use to fight off the 'moon sickness' that had escaped from the cracked crystal and has begun to infect everyone."  Quickly all the Goodie sisters start slicing and serving.  Once everyone had eaten a bite and were no longer hangry (a combination of angry and hungry), they all  turned to the Sisters for guidance.    
Goodiegood, as the eldest sister, spoke first.  "We have gone down into the belly of Chaos and overcame it.  The prophecy of the Realm being destroyed has passed, but we still have a new life needing our help to come forth for the wellbeing of our Realm."
​​As soon as Goodiegood finished, Goodie2shues turns to Hewy and continues.  "Hewy, please sing your song of hope as this is a time of renewal for all of us."
Picture
And to complete the circle,  Goodie4U continued the request as she turned to the rest of the crowd.  "And for those trapped inside of the crystal egg.  They must hear all of us, so sing with Hewy and let your voices be heard!"  As Hewy started singing, the others soon joined in filling the little garden with song - loud enough for the others not to hear Goodiegood whisper to herself, "For it is lying just beneath the surface, waiting to burst forth."

A Spell Goes Wrong...

"Oh!  I see the missing ingredient!"  shouts out Goodiegood as she starts running after it.  The Goodie sisters and Ffion had just arrived back in the Shadow's King garden after having left the Nytemares to Scarlet to take back to the stables.  Ffion was still glowing blue from the ritual they had performed on her back at their cottage and the others were still standing around in the garden now staring at Ffion in amazement.  
​"We need to hurry!" replied Goodieg2shues.  "Go grab him!"
"Him???  Him who," thought The CAT who had been prowling around the edge of the garden, wondering about the magical mayhem that was going on here.  He had felt the energy shift and no longer could feel Hungry, the little Wish Dragon.  Being the Spite of a Wish Dragon was still a new experience for The CAT.  It took another Spite, Sprigg'n Mac-talla, to teach him that as a Spite he was supposed to watch out and help (well maybe not quite as much) keep his Dragon out of trouble.  Again, wondering why he could not feel Hungry, is when Goodiegood ran up to him and grabbed his paw.
Goodiegood looked into The CAT's eyes and said, "Hungry needs you now like never before.  You are that missing ingredient.  We can't save him without you."
"Do WHAT???" replied The CAT.
"You are Hungry's Spite and we need you to help finish the ritual we began with Ffion at the cottage.  You are all connected,"  Goodiegood answered.​
As The CAT was deciding, Goodie4U is shouting over all the chatter that the rest of the crowd is making in their confusion of trying to understand what is happening.  Only one is not saying anything, Druzzy, the Troll King.  He has been standing in the background trying to figure a way out of the garden without anyone noticing him leave since he was still hiding the forgotten Dragon tablet under his crown.  "I have got to get this tablet away from here," he was telling himself.  "The power it will give me!"
"We need to finish this ritual that began with the Dragon tablet and the Shadows' King before it's too late.  Hewy, you know the music you need to sing.  Feel it inside and let it flow around us."
Goodiegood directed Ffion, her sisters, and The CAT to stand around the Crystal Egg.  As they joined hands, the egg started to crack a little more.  "Hurry Hewy with the music, it will calm the beast inside," Goodiegood yelled back to the Troll who was still trying to figure out what he would sing.
When the sisters joined hands with Ffion and The CAT, the blue light that had been glowing around Ffion started leaving her hands.  It glowed and flowed around the egg like a snake circling around it's prey.  Up and around, always moving, curling around until the crystal explodes into a blast of blue light.  "Oh No!" exclaims Goodie2shues looking at Goodiegood.  "Our spell has gone wrong!" replied Goodiegood.
Picture
"The blue ooze is chaos," yelled Goodiegood as her ears were still ringing from the spell exploding, "and if it spreads it will contaminate the others and turn them into crazy mad creatures!"  
"There must be some way to fix this!" Goodie2shues yelled back.  "Where is Goodie4U?"  she continued.
Since Goodie4U is the sister who knows "what" is going to happen when she is 'seeing'... do you think she might have cooked up a way of fixing this???

The Circle of Snakes...

Riding on the backs of the Nytemares, the Goodie sisters and Ffion quickly arrived at the Goodie's cottage.  It was as if the Nytemares knew what danger the Realm was in and had decided to give their best to help the princess.  Barely aware of the speed, Goodiegood was thinking about what they needed to still have done when they arrived home.  "Lot's to bake and no time to pre-heat the stove," she mumbled to herself.  "I hope the missing ingredient will be waiting for us when we return to the garden or everything will be lost."    
As Goodiegood was thinking about the missing one, Goodie4u was thinking about the ritual they needed to do.  "Ffion has reached the age where she should be able to survive the ritual.  I just hope that the Crystal Egg will wait until everything is mixed and ready." 
The third sister, Goodie2shues, was busy keeping an eye on Princess Ffion.  The shock of her father's, the Shadows' King, disappearance was still evident.  Ffion did not do much more than watch the countryside as the Nytemares sped her to where the sisters were taking her to.  "I hope she can take what is soon to be dished out to her," thought Goodie2shues as the Nytemares stopped in front of the Goodie cottage.
Quickly Goodiegood and Goodie4u opened the small wooden door to their cottage and disappeared inside as Goodie2shues helped the princess from the Nytemare's back and ushered her to go inside while she talked to the Nytemares.  "Please wait for us as we won't be long," Goodie2shues told the Nytemares.  She knew they agreed when they all bobbed their heads and knelt on the ground.
Still a little confused, Ffion started into the cottage and almost jumped back outside when she noticed something moving above her head.  Hanging over the door frame was a circle of twigs twisted together making her think of a bunch of writhing snakes interwoven together.  "Did they just move?" Ffion thought to herself.  She  slowly entered into the cottage as ​Goodie4u, standing by a table, motioned the princess to sit in the chair by the table that was placed in the center of the room.  Goodiegood rushed around the kitchen picking up this and looking at that.
Picture
As a teapot floated in the air over the table,  it poured a hot spicy tea into a red flower cup for the princess.  Meanwhile Goodie4u put a sugar plum cookie on the edge of the cup's plate.  "Please princess, eat a little something and this cup of tea will help you too."
As Ffion sat, she noticed Goodiegood now standing in the kitchen, mumbling to herself as she held a small bouquet of moonflowers.  As she watched, the flowers suddenly glowed brightly with a blinding flash causing Ffion to jump up from her chair seeing bright spots before her eyes.  As she blinked several times to clear her vision, she saw Goodie2shues entering in the doorway where the wreath was hung.  Suddenly it looked like the Goodie sister appeared to turn into a green snake and was now sliding in and out of the circle of branches.  Startled, Ffion rubbed her eyes and when she looked back up, saw that Goodie2shues was back to normal and no longer a snake.     
As Goodie2shues approaches, Ffion shrinks back and squeaks "What did you just have me drink?  You were a snake!"  Goodie4u, realizing that Ffion being a Nyte Shade, must have seen the magic of her sister combining her energy with that of the Circle.  Goodie4u answered"  We only gave you a healing brew, so you don't need to worry about it, but Goodie2shues needed to strengthen the energy of the Circle of Snakes for the ritual."
"So why did I see her as a snake?" asked Ffion as she continued to move backward away from Goodie2shues until she bumped into the table.  ​Goodie4u, standing near the princess, told her "Please Princess, calm down.  We are trying to protect you. What Goodie2shues did was like a snake shedding it's skin.  She left a layer of herself behind to add to the magic of the Circle."
Picture
"Why would you do that?  Snakes are scary and evil," Ffion said incredulously.  Quickly Goodiegood, who had put the moonflowers down on the table, spoke up.  "No, they are not.  Snakes are a symbol of transformation and change.  That makes them seem scary because we don't like to change but they are not evil."  
Before Ffion could say anything, Goodiegood continued.  "​The Circle of Snakes is actually a circle full of love by those that have gone before us to create this foundation of protection.  We are simply adding to it so we can help you now.  That is why you are here."
"Ffion, you are a Nyte Shade," said Goodie4u interrupting Goodiegood.  With a brief look of irritation Goodiegood continued, "What you do not totally understand yet is what it means to be a true Nyte Shade.  You are now part of that history and ritual which seems to be needed again.  For a Nyte Shade once gave it's power to a dragon which made the Dragons the powerful creatures they are today.  Our magic is lesser than the Nyte Shade since we are part witch and part fae.  We can cast spells and help by way of ritual, much like the wizard, Devin, but we can only assist."
"Yes," piped in Goodie2shues, "Your ancestors giving that magic to the Dragons, mixing with the dragon blood in their veins, made the dragon's power so great that some can grant wishes, even open doorways around the world and some of the rare ones can even shift time.  That is why we need to help you create a bond with the Dragon.  You will be forever linked just as your ancestor was which is why you needed us to help you."
Ffion sat back down in the chair stunned.  She had never even thought to ask her father more about what it meant to be a Nyte Shade when he had told her.  Before she could start asking more questions from the Goodie sisters, Goodie2shues spoke.  "Time is of the essence and we must hurry before this recipe of disaster is completed and we are truly cooked! ​
"Ffion, you will need all of the magic your forebearer's had to help the Wish Dragon survive what is to come.  Will you trust us to show you what your part in this mix requires?" asked Goodie2shues as she looked into Ffion's eyes.  
Picture
Deciding she had little choice, Ffion slowly nods her head and replies.  "The others back at the castle must have trusted you to let you take me away.  Plus the Nytemares would not have taken us here if they didn't trust you too," she told the sisters.  "Yes, tell me what I must do."   Goodiegood approached Ffion and took one of her hands while the other sisters joined their hands to complete the circle.  Together the sisters looked at the candle in the middle of their circle as it suddenly flared to life while calling on the powers they needed to complete the ritual.  The room began to shimmer and Ffion took on a blue glow.   With that the Goodie sisters  knew that they had completed the ritual.  They had provided all the protection they could even though Ffion looked more haggard and distracted than she did when her father had disappeared.  The Goodies had opened a portal through Ffion and now they needed to finish the transformation by heading back to the crystal egg.  Goodiegood lead the others back to where the Nytemares were waiting.  As they left the cottage, Goodie2shues whispered to Goodie4u, "Do you think the portal is draining her?  We need to hurry if we are to help her as well as what is in the egg."  In the meantime, Goodiegood helped the princess to slide on the back of her Nytemare and soon the four were rushing to the Shadows' King's castle and the crystal in the garden.

The Crack of Doom...

As Goodiegood rushed into the Shadows' King's garden she spied the first small group of gathers there "Are we late?"  Knowing that her and her sister's powers would be needed, even if they were late for the beginning of the Dragon's transformation, they were where they needed to be now.
​
Looking around the garden she saw the Sleeping Sister, Awena, standing by Griselda, the Dowager, with their heads bent together in quiet conversation.  
Off to one side was Hewy, the Troll,  who was busy giving the Gooblin King, Hir'aeth, the evil eye as the Gooblin King wondered to himself where had Druzzy, the Troll King, snuck off too?  Efem, the Tree Mother, was huddled with Dewin by a small bench and waving her hands in the air trying to make a point as she tried to get his complete attention. While Dewin was trying also to see where the Troll King had wondered off as well as try to keep one ear open to listen to Efem.  ​
Things were certainly tense and confusing.  It was then, as Goodiegood was looking around at everyone, that she noticed the large crystal-like egg in the the middle of the garden.  "I doubt that has been here very long," she asked without expecting much of an answer.  She realized what it was as she looked closer seeing something blue swirling around inside of it.  
Turning to her sisters she said, "It looks like what we feared has happened.  The Prophesy has begun with the Last Wish Dragon being lost.  Now we must find out who sacrificed their magic for this to have happened."  As the three sisters started looking around the garden to see who might be missing from the vision they had earlier, Goodie2shues finally hollered to the crowd, "Everyone! We don't have much time so listen up!  We need to talk to Ffion or the Shadows' King.  Does anyone know where they are?" 
As the crowd stopped what they were doing and all looked at the Goodie sister, it was the Dowager who spoke first.  "Ffion was rushed out of the garden by the King's scribe, Dulbbe, when the King and Hungry vanished!"
Picture
When the Dowager finished, Goodie4u mumbled loud enough for only her sisters to hear, "Now we know who sacrificed their power, as the King and Ffion being Nyte Shades are the only two beings strong enough to give up their power and not be swayed by the Darkness or Greed."  Realizing that speed was now needed, Goodie2shues spoke again to the crowd.  "We need to speak to Ffion immediately!  The Realm depends on it!"
Picture
All of a sudden, a loud 'CRACK' echoed in the garden startling those standing next to the large egg-like crystal.  Goodiegood looked at her sisters with concern in her eyes.  "Goodie2shues, you go and grab Ffion!  Goodie4u, get Scarlet to ready the Nytemares," she continued as she pointed to the King's Farrier.  "You both know what we need!  Time is the most important thing now and we don't have any to waste!"
As her sisters disappeared, Goodiegood quietly mumbled to herself, "The best thing we can do now is get Ffion back to our place so we can whip up our 'Surrogare' recipe before this egg fully hatches.  The Ntyemares are the best choice to fly us home in time."
As the other two sisters flew off to do her bidding, Goodiegood thought about trying to explain to Awena and the Dowager what was happening, but there just wasn't enough time.  All she could do was shout out "Trust ME!" as she ran to follow her sisters.

When your wings are wet...

KNOCK... KNOCK... THUMP... On went the pounding to the old wooden door of the only bathroom in the Goodie's cottage.  "Will you hurry up!" shouted Goodie4u through the keyhold on the oak door.  "You have been in there for hooooouuuurs and we need to get moving if we are to make it to the castle in time!"

​Goodiegood knew that she needed to hurry but she continued to stare at herself in the reflection glass.  "But I have just washed my wings!" she muttered.
They weren't dry yet and actually as she looked at herself, they were pretty sad looking.  One drooped over her shoulder and the other one was still a bit  frazzled on the bottom.  "What am I going to do?" she thought to herself.  
"Oh, what I would give to have a Dusty Myte drop in now.  With their long nose for cleaning, they would have my sloppy wet wings dry in a licky split moment,"  thought Goodiegood as she remembered those helpful friends of the house brownie, Granny Flare.

"I am at least glad I finally found my shoes," Goodiegood murmured to herself.  "Even if they were hidden under that pile of Goodie2shues' shoes."  As she was still trying to figure out what to do about her wings and hoping to make the situation better, she started to send herself positive thoughts.
​​As she wiggled her toes, she soon smiled.  "The little flower accent really makes my feet look smaller I think.  I will have to wear them more often," she decided as she looked down at her now favorite pair of shoes.  But as she looked back up she saw in the looking glass her saggy wings were making her look like she had visited the cookie jar one too many times this season.
Discouraged, Goodiegood turned around to open the door for her sister.  As soon as she did, Goodie4u's hand popped in holding a bottle.  "Try this sister," she told her.  "Spray it on your wings and do hurry up!"  Goodiegood looked down at the label which read 'Gloss-i-mare Canned Air ' and thought "what do I have to lose" and proceeded to spray it on her wings.  Instantly they were dry and so shiny.  "Oh, where did you find this miracle worker?" asked Goodiegood to her sister.  
"You would be amazed at some of the things the Peddler has in his shop, but don't worry about that now," replied Goodie4u.  "We have already missed the Winter Solstice and I am afraid that things are going to get worse if we don't arrive there soon."
With that being said, and her wings finally dried, Goodiegood put on her hat and picked up her mixing bowl as she called out to her sisters.  "Don't forget the Spoon," and proceeded out the door of the cottage as if she had been the one waiting for them to be ready.  Soon they were on the trail to the Shadows' King's castle, hoping they were not too late to do their part in trying to save the Realm.
