"Hello Queen Ffion," said Dulbbe, the King of the Trolls, as he walked into the royal library of the Shadows Queen.

"Oh, Dulbbe, I don't think we need to worry about our titles here since it is just the two of us," replied Ffion.

This caused Dulbbe to blush a little when he realized that it truly was just the two of them. "Right," Dulbbe shyly replied with his glasses falling down his nose a little. Pushing them back up on his face and clearing his throat to give him another second for the blushing to go away before he continued. "I wanted to share something with you that I found interesting regarding the Nyte Shades while I was also researching about the Dreamweavers."

"The Sleeping Sisters' Library is huge and goes way back. Almost as far back as to the beginning of both of our Realms," Dulbbe continued. "I found how the Sleeping Sisters Council began which was interesting enough but also how it might intersect with your Nyte Shade history too."

"Oh, let me see what you found," Ffion asked reaching for the book that Dulbbe had placed on the reading desk.

"Well, interestingly enough and hidden deep in this tome, was the story of how the Dragons received their magic and it seems to have begun with a Nyte Shade," whispered Dulbbee, still being cautious to not have anyone hear them as he turned the pages to where the story began.

Read along with Ffion as she discovers the beginning of about the Nyte Shades and Dragon Magic.

As Ffion finished the story, she took a deep sigh. With the glistening of tears in her eyes she looked at Dulbbe, "This reminds me of what my father, the King, said when he told me the history and responsibility of my family before all we found out how important the Dragon, Hungry, was to our Realms."

While I Wait...

While I am waiting for Echo's mold to dry so that I can take her to her next stage of growth, Arnie is also waiting.

Arnie is waiting to see if Roslie and Hazelwyn can confirm that the information that the Monacle (Head Dragon) has given them will lead them on to their next phase of their adventure of locating the Dreamweaver's cottage.

This is that magical time of "betwixt and between".

It is a time of being in neither one thing nor the other. That space of "waiting".

Since I am not one of those people that likes waiting, I decided I needed inspiration for my next character. I mentioned a pixie was a possibility.

What better place to find a pixie (in our realm they are Pyksee's), or that magical spark then to wander into my own garden.

I decided to listen to my faery guides and followed them to where they led me.

Right where I needed to be but in the Village on the Wall Faery homes. I enjoyed a small sip of Raspberry Dazzle Fizz and a crumb of Enchanted Sugarwing.

I know the saying is never eat anything in faery land as you will starve and forget to return home. My faery like my visits as I do theirs and we have a wonderful agreement.

I won't put on weight eating their tasty treats and they will let me return home at any time so that I can come again. Since this was a research and discovery mission, I found my inspiration and returned to my own home. Of course thanking the faeries for sharing the time and magic with me.

Arnie's hand was in her pocket holding the crystal as she and her two traveling companions walked up the last hill just before they would be able to see the Tree and the Monacle (the Dragon) who protects it. She was not thinking about the great Tree and the magic it possessed, Arnie was trying to find a way to tell her Dragon friend about her doubts and what she had been tasked to do.

"Where do I start," she mumbled quietly to herself so Hazelwyn and Roslie would not hear. "Wow! Look at that tree," Roslie said to the others as she pointed at it. Hazelwyn did not say anything as she took in the site of the magnificence tree. Arnie hardly looked as her mind was still elsewhere as she scanned the based of the tree looking for any signs of the Monacle. There he was - reading a scroll and talking to Ellie, the Moonie.

As they approached, Arnie saw Ellie wave to her and the others. Arnie waved back and quickly they traveled the remaining distance to be able to say 'Hi'. Before Arnie could introduce each of her companions, Dree (now the new Monacle) smiled and spoke. "Greetings Finder, Hazelwyn, and Roslie. I have been monitoring your quest and am glad you thought of me in finding the way to the Dreamweaver's cottage." Then with a wink at Arnie and with a smile he continued as he sat down the scroll, "but first, I have got to tell you about a new joke that I heard today."

Ellie (E'luminosity), the Moonie

Arnie could not help herself from snickering and with a shake of her head from side-to-side thought, "Some things never change". Even Ellie smiled as she was the one who had just told the joke to Dree, the Monacle, after being told it from Drat (The Troll's King's minion) earlier in the day.

After the finishing the joke (which brought out a few groans as usual - it was more a bad pun than a humorous joke), Dree looked again at Arnie and spoke. "Arnie, so you are now a Finder. Have no doubts. I can tell you this that the crystal did well in selecting you." With the surprised look on Arnie's face, the Monacle started to laugh. "No, I am not watching you all of the time," Dree chuckled. "Awena already sent a message ahead of your arrival to let me know of your coming and what you will need." As Arnie started to say something, Dree again spoke first. "Hey, I've got to look like I know all and see all... If you only could have seen the look on your face." Again the Dragon started to laugh and soon so were all of the others because a Dragon's laugh is so funny to watch, you just can't help but laugh with one.

After wiping away a few tears, Dree picked up the scroll he had been reading and handed it to Hazelwyn. "Will you and Roslie look this over and tell me if what it describes sounds like the cottage you saw in the library?"

As Roslie and Hazelwyn examined the scroll, Arnie asked how did he find a scroll about the Dreamweavers so fast. "It appeared in the box that Ellie now carries. We knew that it was important after receiving the message from Awena about your search. I knew that your group would be needing it."

Yes, I am going to be invaded! The kids and even the grandkids are coming for a visit. Time to call out the re-enforcements but sadly the Brownies are at a Moonbeam Maintenance Meeting. This is a meeting that falls after a Full Moon where they make their plans for repairs for fairy paths, mushroom rings, and enchanted cottages for the new month.

Since the Brownies know we still have a few garden nooks to update, they didn't want to miss this event as they do like to inspire me with the latest new toys.

In the meantime, the Faeries are practically giddy knowing there will be some young ones playing in the garden. So, the little magical Fae are bouncing around from flower to flower, sprucing up where they can and thinking of all the Faery Foods they can tempt these little "sprites" with.

I could play Snow White here and ask for the Woodland Critters to help me. But I really don't like mice in the house and somehow I think (for as much as she would love to be invited in), I don't believe asking Mother Racoon and her two children to help would really work out that well.

So, Echo will have to wait another few days to get into a mold.

Arnie is on her way to visit the Monacle for advice and in the meantime while she is traveling, I get to play "muggle" as I am still a simple human that has to clean the house in the old fashion way to get ready for the "incoming"!
