What is a Dusty Myte?

2/17/2019

When I can't see something but I "feel" that it is there, a personal fear is created. By that definition, then maybe I should fear the Dusty Mytes since I can't see them. Now Nemmer, having run into these annoying creatures, knew there was nothing truly to fear from them. They are more like pesky little gossamer flocculent (look it up - it means fluffy) things than anything else. If it wasn't for their particular ability to make us forget where we placed our keys and leaving long trails of dust behind to be dusted away; Nemmer wouldn't have an issue with them.

So once again Nemmer shot me with his arrow of "seeing" (elfshot) and showed me that they weren't evil looking... just nettlesome. And of course, being so sweet and fluffy looking, I had to touch one. By which action, I then made it real... real enough that I can show you how to make your own annoying but sweet looking Dusty Myte.

A Rash of Forgetfulness?

Lately, there has been a rash of forgetfulness in the Shadows' Realm so much now that Nemmer was on-the-job. “Now where could those Dusty Mytes be hiding?" Nemmer mutters to himself as he pokes his head through some bushes. He is pondering this question so hard that he does not notice Meen running from mushroom to mushroom trying to sneak up on him from behind.

”Whatcha doing Nemmer?” Meen asks as she jumps out from behind a giant mushroom and lands right in front of him.

"I spooked ya - didn't I?" Meen giggles. Laughing so hard she had to wipe a tear from her eye. "Whatcha looking for?" As Meen started to take a breath so she could continue to ask more annoying unending questions, Nemmer quickly responds. “Good day Meen. Are you on an errand for the Shadows’ King or just out to play?”

This question worked, as Meen closed her mouth and appeared to be thinking about something. “Now that you mention it, I was supposed to do something… but I can’t remember what it is. Isn’t that funny? How can I do it if I don’t remember it. ”

“Sounds like you have been around a Dusty Myte," answers Nemmer.

"Now think hard… The Shadow King told you to do something… he normally sends you on errands to tell someone about something that’s important. What is new and important that you can think of?”

“I can’t think of anything new. Let’s see, Hungry and I were playing and then we saw Scarlet. Then the King found us and we saw the Nytemares and then Hunter sent Hungry to school… I can’t think of anything important in all of that. Sorry Nemmer, I can’t remember.”

“What does having to be hungry got to do with going to school?” asks Nemmer.

“What are you talking about? The King sent Hungry the baby Wish Dragon to school.” Meen’s eyes suddenly light up, “I remember now! I was to tell everyone that if they see a Dragon in the Shadows’ Realm that it is Hungry on his way to school. Thanks Nemmer." Jumping onto a mushroom, Meen starts to hop away. "I got to get going and spread the word about Hungry."

"That little pykse left before I could ask where she has been," grumbles Nemmer. "Probably forgot that too. Drat... I will just have to keep looking for those pesky Dusty Mytes. They could be anywhere... Imagine a wish dragon back in the kingdom, that is a sight I won't want to forget to see."

Out of the Blue...

What was that? Is the shadow in the bushes a bird? It should be a bird because it is what I expect it should be. Often what I think I see right in front of me is what it really is. Yet, like the blue jay that I just thought I saw in the bush, might it not also be him?

Him--- because maybe, just maybe, when I have a sudden inspiration or finally see something that has been sitting right before me in a new way, it could have been because of him. Let me introduce him. His name is Nemmer and he is an archer. Now why is that important? It's important because of his elfshot arrows. When I get hit with an idea that comes from out of the blue (haha- that's his favorite joke), what is hidden is now revealed. This does not mean that I get to find that one sock that is missing-- (he tells me because that is someone else's job).

"Hey there... Let me tell them. This is about me after all. This IS my job after all - to give inspiration and the understanding that swells inside. I like to think of myself as the Little Helper who wakes up the unaware."

"Now I understand that not everyone wants to be aware. I accept that, but how boring it must be to be one of those..."

"One question I do get asked when I am first seen is why do I dress up to look like a bird? Other than the fact that I think blue is my color, it helps with the secondary job I have. It is my disguise so that I can keep away those little dusty mytes that steal away inspiration. They are everywhere!"

"Think of those nights when a dream tells you something, but the moment out of bed, it's lost. Or when sitting and an inspiration hits, but from the chair to the next room, that sudden realization of having to ask 'what did I come in here for?' appears and the idea is lost... that's is those nasty little mytes' doing."

"I find that my bow and arrows are especially useful in swatting those pesky little creatures away."

"Well, I have to get back to work, but now that you have seen me as I really appear, ask yourself this question. Will you take that extra second to look to see what was really there? If you see me, then may you be hit by inspiration and not the dusty doo-doo of the mytes! I'm off!!! "
