The CAT Meets Sprigg'n...

As luck would have it, while Sprigg'n was asking "... I wonder who will find it [the Dragon] first?", elsewhere in the Shadows' Realm The CAT was sitting in a tree listening to the Twitter birds chat about the lost Wish Dragon.

"Who cares?" thought The CAT as this was The CAT's first of his nine-lives, and he was not in any hurry to be eaten by anything Dragon-like that would start him on life number two. "Besides," he decided (just like every cat), "I will need all nine lives just to create the mischief I want to do... so many things to annoy and so little time."

Now, as everyone who has ever lived with a cat (you don't own a cat - you just live with it), that a cat has a mind of it's own. Add a touch of magic, the ability to talk, and a cat attitude - things become even more interesting. Especially with a cat that has a twisted sense of humor!

Soon the Twitter bird conversation started to turn boring. It wasn't as fun anymore either to be watching Nemmer poking around in the bushes searching for the Dragon. The CAT started thinking, "What more opportunities of fun could I have if I was to find the Dragon myself?"

It was then that he felt the magical pull... someone (or something) was scrying him. "Who would be searching for me?" The CAT wondered. "It's a good thing most don't know that this goes both ways - look at me and I can look at you," smiled The CAT.

The CAT quickly sauntered (cats do not just walk anywhere) over to the Twitter birds' pond and summoned who could be calling him...

It was that wizard Dewin's Spite looking into a mirror. "Why would she be searching for me?" The CAT pondered. "I haven't bothered a Spite before..." As he said this, he realized that this was something new and not boring!!! Instantly he knew where the Spite was and that it was very close. "Close enough for just a short magical spring" decided The CAT.

So, as Sprigg'n was deciding whether to search for The CAT or go and tell Dewin what she had discovered (both about the Wish Dragon and her new names), The CAT suddenly appeared sitting on the trail in front of her. There was no 'POOF' of magic - just a smug looking cat smiling at the Spite like it was soon to be a meal. "I have heard of you," Spite smiled back, "and your mischief. What do you want from me?"

At first The CAT only stared at the Spite, but then he felt it... The CAT's hair started to stand straight out like the time that Efem had rubbed his fur the wrong way and she got an electrical shock from him. As The CAT felt his fur rising, Sprigg'n also started to feel a strange electrical tingle course over her skin. It almost tickled in a way and she could tell that the energy was building! "What are you doing to me?" she suspiciously asked The CAT but he only looked at her wondering the same thing as his hair started to sparkle.

A Zooming Mirror...

As Spite... no... as Sprigg'n sat on the pillow given to her by the Wishing Well, she wondered if maybe the Magic Mirror would be willing to help her again by telling what she should do next. "Oh Magic Mirror in my hand, where next should I go in all of the land?"

The mirror started to glow again and shortly Sprigg'n heard the answer. "First off, if you don't knock off the rhyming, I won't answer. I got enough of that from the Wishing Well. It was either that or an endless supply of 'knock, knock' jokes. So stop it with the rhyming and no 'knock, knock' jokes! Okay?"

"Oops. Sorry - I forgot and I don't even know what a 'knock, knock' joke is," Sprigg'n replied. "Lucky you," said the mirror.

"Will you please help me?" begged Sprigg'n.

"Okay, If we have an understanding, I will. Look deeply into the mirror for what is to be and you soon you will see... arggghhh! Now you got me doing it!" growled the mirror.

Quickly Sprigg'n focused all of her mind on the glowing mirror before it changed it's mind. It started out with a blue glow but soon a picture appeared. It was a Troll with a young Dryad boy walking in the woods. "Too bad I can't hear what they are saying," said the Spite to herself.

"All you had to do is ask," replied the mirror. Instantly the conversation between the Troll and Dryad came out of the mirror.

"I told you Sprout, the prophecy will require both a Troll and a Dryad. Awena thinks that I am the Troll, but she did not tell me who she thinks the Dryad could be," said Hewy.

"Can you repeat that portion of the prophecy again Hewy?" asked Sprout.

"One more time only," answered the Troll. "Here it is...

For in the telling of this tale a musician must play
as the dryad who has forsaken it's way;
the troll will mend what was once broken
as they both must gain the Dragyn 's token.

"What does it mean by a Dryad who has forsaken it's way? Could that be my mother since she has decided to work with the herbs instead of the trees?" Sprout asked. "I don't know. I am not even sure that the Troll is me," replied Hewy. "To find out though will require us to find the Wish Dragon first."

Slowly the picture faded again and all that appeared in the magic mirror was a blue glow. "A Wish Dragon huh? I wonder who will find it first?" Sprigg'n mused out loud. Instantly a new image appeared in the mirror before she realized that the Magic Mirror thought she was asking another request. It was The CAT! Even Sprigg'n knew about The CAT. "Now how was he involved?" she wondered, but this time she did not ask that question out loud because she was not sure she wanted to see what the mirror might show her...
