Lots to do...

Fiddlefaddle & Sneefle
The first thing the Dowager did when she and her son, the Baron, returned to the Mansion was to summons both their faithful servants Sneefle and the Baron's BAT man, Fiddlefaddle to the parlor.  "I will have several messages that will need to be sent out today," she told them.  "You will be using Parsley's Mushroom Line, the Dryad's Root Connection, Cornelia's Bee-Gs, my Flutterbys, and if you can get them to repeat the message without messing it up too much, even the Twitter Birds."
"But Dowager," answered Fiddlefaddle, "How will we summon so many?  I don't speak Bee-G and nobody but Parsley knows how the Mushroom Line communicates..."
Before he could continue Griselda cut him off.  "That is not your problem.  I will take care of that.  You will just need to give them the messages when they arrive.  Make sure that the right messenger gets the right message.  If I tell you that it has to go to a cave, make sure that the Root Connection make the delivery.  If the message is going to a mountain peak, then make sure the Twitter Birds get it.  I am sure that between the two of you, you will be able to figure out the best way to send the message.  Now I have to get busy writing messages. The Baron has his own tasks to do."  Knowing when they had been dismissed to get on with their work, both bowed and left the parlor.
"If the Dowager was writing the messages, what could be my task? thought the Baron.  Since just returning from the Council meeting, it struck the Baron that maybe someone should check on Dree.  As he brought the subject up to his mother, she realized that he was right.  No one had thought of how the one Dragon that was already in the Realm would feel if everyone else thought the Dragons' return was to be a dangerous situation.  Given the fact that Dree was a new Moon Dragon and unaware of the powers that he possessed, now would be a good time to make sure he was not upset or scared.  Upset or scared powerful Dragons could cause a few problems - especially when they are only partially trained.
As Griselda began writing messages Sneefle made the tea.  Fiddlefaddle,  after checking the windows and doors to see if any of the messengers had arrived, left to assist  the Baron like the good batman he was.  Together they took the stairs down to the tunnels under the Mansion.  The young Dragon had told him before he left the meeting that he was returning to his cave.

For that the Baron was grateful.  "I have walked enough today without having to go searching for Hungry, oops, Dree, somewhere in the Shadows' Realm," he thought as he reached the bottom of the stairs.  Opening the door to the secret caverns below his mansion, he could tell that they had another visitor.  "Even the dirt on the floor is clean," he chuckled to himself about the house brownie.  "Granny Flare must have been here." 
Soon the Baron was in the chamber where Dree was sitting on a stack of pillows and reading a book.  At first the site of it surprised him, but after a moment, he started to chuckle.  "Why not?" he decided to himself.  "His teachers would be proud of how well the new Moon Dragon was applying himself to learning."
It was the chuckle that alerted Dree to the Baron's presence as he looked up from the book.  "Good day Baron.  Have you read this book yet?  It's fascinating!  It's all about Dragons.  Granny Flare left it for me to read." 
Deciding that it would be a good way to start the conversation he knew he would have to have with Dree, the Baron answered.  "No, I have never seen that one before. What can you tell me about your kin?"  Soon Dree was telling the Baron about the different types of Dragons and the things they could do... "Now, this one is a water Dragon and he can swim and use water to build things with.  Won't that be neat?  If I could do that I could make blocks of water with fish in them and then stack them up along that wall," as he pointed to a wall in the cave, "and watch them swim around without getting hurt." 
"It's funny that you said that," replied the Baron.  "Dree, you were at the Council meeting today and heard what the Dowager said.  Do you understand why we are all so concerned about the Dragons returning?"
The question made the young Dragon stare at the Baron for a minute.  Then he put the book down on one of the pillows and stared at the wall he had pointed to only minutes before, not saying a word.  After a short silence, Dree finally turned to look at the Baron and answered.  "Yes, I think I do.  You are afraid that with the return of the Dragons that whatever made them go away might happen again.  But maybe this time it will happen after something bad occurs.  You are here because you don't know what I will do now that I am a Moon Dragon."
As surprised to hear that the Dragon did understand his concerns, the Baron knew now was the time to ask his other question.  "What will you do?"
Again Dree did not answer immediately and after a longer pause than before, the Baron could barely hear his response, " I will keep all of my friends safe first!  But it looks like I might need to learn more about what it means to be a Dragon as well as a Moon Dragon." Dree then turned to pick up the book.  Looking at the Baron he asked, "Do you want to study with me?"

Home Sweet Home...

As Dree was walking to his old home what both Awena and the Dowager had told him before the council meeting  finally broke up was still nagging at him. "Why did it have to be Dragons?" he wondered to himself.  It was still on his mind when he reached the entrance to the caves below the Baron's Mansion.  "Home sweet home," sighed the Moon Dragon.  
Upon entering the maze of the caves he instinctively knew where to go.  Soon he was back to the spot where he was born, or more correctly, where his egg had opened.  "Sigh... those were better days," he thought.  "All I needed then was someone to feed me when I was hungry."  It was that thought what made him start laughing... realizing the play on words... "When I was Hungry," he chuckled.  Hungry was his name before he had transformed from a Wish Dragon into a Moon Dragon.  "I wonder what Acorn, Dragonia, and Granny Flare are up to?" Dree thought.
"I thought you would be here sooner," a voice was heard from a dark corner of the cavern.  Dree spun around to see where it was coming from and finally spotted the house Brownie.  It was Granny Flare and it appeared that she had already cleaned up the cave.  "I have done a little cleaning while waiting for you.  The Dusty Mytes helped a bit by vak-u-ming the dust from the floors (and walls and ceilings, in fact it was everywhere actually)," she told the Dragon.   
Picture
"I even brought a few extra pillows for you, compliments of the Dowager, since I had heard your old one was either lost or a little ragged from it's travels."
Dree was so happy to see Granny that he forgot that she was not a hugger as he lifted her from the floor to give her a big one.  At first she thought of magically popping out but realized that might make the young Dragon sadder than he appeared, so she let him hug her and set her back down on the floor.  "My... you have grown a little since I have last seen you," she told him.  Blushing slightly (as only a Dragon can blush), he just stood there and looked down at the floor bashfully.
"I really came to tell you that if you need me, follow that tunnel," as she pointed to one of the many branches of tunnels from where they stood.  "My place is at the end.  Knock on the cellar door and I will let you in.  I will also have your meals ready for you so come when you are hungry," she finished.  Again, Dree was so happy that as he was reaching to give her another hug, he remembered and stopped himself this time.  "Thank you," was all he could say.
Smiling, Granny walked up to the Dragon and gave him a hug (surprising Dree even more).  "That's alright Hungry.  Oops, I meant Dree.  I have to go but you know where to find me.  Welcome home," said Granny as she started down the tunnel to her place.
"Home," thought Dree.  "Yes, this is my home and I need to help the others in protecting it," the Dragon thought.  "I know so little about myself.  How am I to help the people who raised and taught me everything I know against my own kind?  I don't know how..."
Picture
It was then that Dree saw the book that Granny Flare had left amongst the pillows.  Dree didn't know it, but it was the book that Granny had gotten from Atian's library before he had left on his trip.  As the Dragon picked it up and read the title, he knew that Granny must have left it for a purpose. 
​"Why would Granny leave me a book about Dragons?" he wondered as he started to settle himself down in the fluffy pile of pillows and start reading.  "So much better than a rock," he mumbles to himself as he turns to the next page of the book.

Moonlight is...

After Awena sent Dree, the new Moon Dragon, to his cave following the council meeting, she knew she needed to follow up with some research of her own.  As she returned to the home of the Sleeping Sisters, she thought to herself, "I need to see what message the cards of the Flowers have to say and then spend some time with my crystal ball."  Calming herself and centering her energy she pulled a card from the Language of Flowers deck and then sat quietly holding her crystal ball.  It didn't take long before the lights starting swirling around inside the ball appearing to open a portal into another dimension.
"I need to stay calm and open my mind to this new energy," she reassured herself. "For if this helps the Village on the Wall and the Realms, I need to know."  The more she stared into the crystal ball the more she felt that she was being taken into another realm.  The trees were so green and she could feel their magical roots connecting under her feet as she was walked along the unfamiliar path.  She was holding her crystal ball in front of her like a lantern lighting her way when she started to see the mist in the ball clear away.
She could see a face though not clearly.  Then she heard a deep voice inside her head.  "I am Aralt and I am here to guide you on this journey.  Follow my voice so that we may soon be together."  Looking ahead of her, Awena could now see a new path opening up as the bushes and plants cleared a way for her to follow.  Not knowing if danger lay ahead for her, Awena decided the knowledge she may receive was worth the risk. 
Picture
She followed the new trail which led her down into a grotto with a large waterfall.  As she stared at the falls and listened to the crashing of the water onto the rocks, she heard the voice again.  "Enter the waterfall for there are those that have a message for you."  ​
After seeing a few stepping stones in the water, Awena proceeded ahead hoping the waterfall wasn't going to destroy her elaborate headpiece she wore.  As she was just about to step into the falling water, magically the waters parted to reveal a cave.  She slowly entered in to see two Dragons laying in wait for her.  At once she felt a connection to one for this was the mother of Dree.  Beside her lay a white Dragon though transparent more like the spirit of a beautiful Dragon.  Awena could feel in her heart that this was the Dragon that gave her magic to the girls that created the Sleeping Sisters.
They nodded their heads as she entered and she heard a melodious sound in her head.  It was a different language then anything she had ever heard before but yet... somehow she seemed to be able to understand it.  The Mother Dragon said "Sit Awena for we have words of strength, guidance, and love to share with you.  We are here to help this change that is about to happen to your realm."  Awena sat and suddenly it occurred to her that she would also talk with these Dragons.  It seems like hours for there was much to learn and yet time also flew by.  Soon she knew it was time to return to her world and as she rose, thanking the Dragons for sharing their wisdom, she was met at the cave entrance by another Fae.  She was not sure who it was until he spoke.
"Let me say these final words to you Awena as you will never return to this vision again," said Aralt.  "Sunlight may banish the Darkness away.  But Moonlight is the Light in the Darkness."  At which Awena awoke in her room holding her now silent crystal ball.

Bringing to a Close...

As the Dowager finished telling everyone her reason for summoning the council meeting, the room was silent.  It was Snoop who was the first to speak, but this time making sure he did not interrupt Griselda again.

"I had hoped for a 'newsy' scoop for the Bellwether but I wasn't looking for a disaster!" he moaned.  "From your story, how are we going to survive this?  Who or what is a Great Fae?  Will Aralt the Herald be enough?"
Seeing the look of concern in everyone's eyes, even Dree's, the Dowager realized that she was the one who was going to have to inspire confidence to them all.  "I bring this up so we can prepare and be ready for their arrival.  It appears from what Goodie4U has seen that the Dragons are widely dispersed.  That means we will probably start seeing them either return alone or in small groups.  That will give us time." ​
"I will put out the call to the Wish Dragon clan. I still know a few others who are around that will come to help," she told them waving her tattooed arm around with the clan  symbol.  Waiting to make sure that everyone was still listening, she continued.  "Augustus, I need you to write the best stories you have ever put into the Bellwether.  Start out slow.  Give the readers time to adjust to having this new change of seeing a Dragon with the hint that many more may be seen soon...  You know the old saying, where there is one - others are soon to follow."

​"Let everyone in the Realms know that Dree is a peaceful Dragon and that the council welcomes their return when it should happen."  Seeing Snoop nod his head and start writing on the paper he held, Griselda knew that he would do as she asked since he now understood the danger they were all in.
"For the rest of you, I will be returning to the Mansion with my son.  We have a lot of messages to start sending out to see who will respond.  I will also call an All Clans meeting to see who will attend."  For a second, the Dowager stopped talking.  A very concerning thought came to her but she did not want to have the others notice so she quickly continued.  "Each of you must return to your homes and start preparing both yourselves and your people as to the Dragons' return.  What we did worked last time after the Great Age of Befuddlement, so it will work again.  Before you go, I will talk to each of you as to what I suggest you do.  But I also suggest you start thinking of what you might also be able to do in addition to that."
While the Dowager was meeting with everyone before they left, Awena and Dree were standing in a corner of the council chambers talking in a low whisper.  "Dree, I think it is time for you to return to the caves under the Mansion," Awena told the Moon Dragon.  "That way you will be closer to Griselda when she needs you as I am sure she will in the coming times."
"I hadn't thought about that," answered Dree.  "I would like that.  I will let the others know also so if they need me they will all know where to find me."
Picture
"I think that would be a good idea.  Why don't you go tell them now while they are all still here?" Awena answered as Dree started to walk away.  As the Moon Dragon passed her, he did not notice the look in her eyes as she watched him go.  "Your life is again about to change as another prophecy unfolds young Dragon," the Sleeping Sister whispered, "and I hope you have both the courage and the strength as I have started to become quite fond of you."   Taking a deep breathe and closing her eyes to center herself, Awena thought to herself.  "It might also be a good time to see what my cards and Crystal ball have to say about this Great Fae."
