After climbing up all the stairs to get the upper floor to the Restricted Area, she still had to get through the huge locked iron doors. With a wave of her hand (and a little help of a pixie's key from a Borrower) she quickly opened the gates. "Sure is helpful knowing a former Borrower. They are the best source for finding those hard to locate keys. Course it's helpful too knowing that Arnie likes a crumpet now and then too," smiled Hazelwyn as she continued down a hallway towards the oldest books in the back of the library.
Just when Hazelwyn was about to give up, the book revealed just what she was looking for, Hag the first Dream Weaver. "I am really going to need my crumpet now," Hazelwyn thought to herself. "I wonder if I can bribe a library clerk to do a run for me?" she murmured to herself as she took the ancient book and set it down on a table in the room so she could see what she had in her bag to bribe a clerk with.

"Now I'm off to eat some delicious crumpets, Boss. Enjoy reading my column," said Hazelwyn has she handed her article to Snoop then turned to the doorway. "WAIT!" Snoop said strongly. "I have something else for you to research," waving his hands over the papers on his desk as he looked for something buried there. Hazelwyn turned and stood in front of Snoop's desk, waiting for him to continue while her patience wore thin as he kept digging. After all, those crumpets were the best in the land and were calling her name and she was hungry. With a few more shuffles of the papers on his desk, Snoop pulled up a one scrap. "Here it is!" he said with a touch of wonder that he always felt when he could find anything on his desk. "You have heard about these new Moon Babies being born, right?" asked Snoop. Before she could answer he continued, "Guess the new arrival of our friend, Dree, the Moon Dragon, was timely. Who knew how badly we needed this new belief in Fairytales, Magic and Happy Endings. It is so easy to take things for granted until they are gone."
With a slight bow to his head, Snoop replied. "Well, Ellie might have let it slip that she and Meerher have been busy as Thimblehoppers rushing and hopping around to keep up with the babies' demands. And no, I am not putting this in this issue of the Bellwether." "But this is the thread of gossip I need you to follow up on," lowering his voice Snoop whispered, "I heard because of this great demand, the Powers that Be are summoning a Dream Weaver!" "Wow," thought Hazelwyn. There hasn't been a Dream Weaver in the Realms since Hag left many eons ago. Almost like at the beginning of time when the Realms came into being. This would be one delicious scoop indeed! "I wonder if the Sugar Plum makes crumpets to go," thought Hazelwyn as she started out on her new assignment.
"I need to get this article over to the office before they close and using the Twitter birds just won't do," Hazelwyn continued to think as she walked around her small cottage. "Plus the Mushroom Line is only good for gossip, not for a reliable story like mine." She slipped on the wooly clogs for her feet and began to pull on one more shawl over her head to protect her from the chilly wind blowing outside. Hazelwyn then opened the door and took one more look to see if she had what she needed. With a wave of her hand over her the doorknob, a small glittery light swirled and settled on the lock. "Even in this safe neighborhood, it never hurts to protect oneself and one's home," Hazelwyn said to herself. With a satisfied smile, she turned and proceeded to start her long walk to the newspaper office in the village. As Hazelwyn was dreamily thinking of how brillant Snoop was going to think her article was, Roslie came out of a side path. "Good day Fae one," Roslie said.
Hazelwyn, always the newspaper reporter, asked "So what did you think of our recent holiday of Dragonfaust and how our village does what it can in the match making department?" "I will admit," said Roslie, "It wasn't what I was expecting but it was fun to see Lallan 'bag' Seamus finally. She has been mooning over him forever from what I hear and was just tired of waiting for him to make his first move." "Yes, they have been the talk of the village. We even had odds on if she was going to bag him this year," answered Hazelwyn. "With the long odds, I made a bundle on my Dragonfaust Pool bet."
Before you knew it Dragonfaust Day arrived! The day that bachelor's feared and the females knew that the rules of the race was that there were No Rules! Now some of the lasses would be coy and bat their lashes to catch the attention of the intended "date". But since Seamus never traveled far from his home, Lallan had to be a bit more "brilliant"!
