My Brambles

Gossip is flying around...

While Drat was giving his report to the King of the Trolls, Druzzy, about the tablet left behind by the Dragons, The CAT had been watching Hungry, the little Wish Dragon.  The CAT was overseeing Hungry and Sprigg'n as they were practicing magical displacements.  They were taking turns making leaves disappear from one bush and re-appearing on another.  
​It may sound easy, but a lot of concentration was required, even for a magical being especially when distracted by the flutterbys.

"Can't we take a break Sprigg'n?" asked Hungry.  "I am getting hungry and every time my stomach rumbles..." just then his stomach gave out another loud growl.  The CAT started laughing as Sprigg'n just shook her head from side-to-side.  "You had better let him eat otherwise you never know what kind of bush you will end up with," snickered The CAT.
"Okay, Okay.  Let's take a break," Sprigg'n told them.  As they ate, Hungry asked about his other friends and had anything new happened in the Realm.  As a student the little Dragon had very little time to visit with anyone who was not one of his teachers and most of them focused more on the lesson than on play or gossip.  That is, except for Sprigg'n.

​The Spite had always liked to listen to the gossip of the twitter birds when she wasn't teasing Dewin, the Wizard, about something.  "It's not well known yet, but the twitter birds are twittering about some tablet that was found by the 'borrowers'," Sprigg'n  whispered to The CAT and Hungry as they leaned in towards her to hear better.  "Nobody has said what is on the tablet, but it is supposed to date back to before the Dragons left the Realms," Sprigg'n continued in a low voice as she didn't want to spread this juicy gossip too far around.
When Sprigg'n said the word 'Dragons', Hungry stopped eating and with longing in his eyes for more juicy news to feed on, asked the Spite.  "Who are the 'borrowers' and what's so special about a tablet?"  Before Sprigg'n could answer, The CAT jumped into telling Hungry about the 'borrowers'.
"We call them the 'borrowers' as few know their real name.  They are called 'borrowers' because that is what they do.  If they see something that interests them, they 'borrow' it.  They don't consider it stealing because either they leave something else behind or more likely they lose interest in the thing and usually return what they "borrowed" to where it was 'found'."  Before Sprigg'n could add what she knew, The CAT continued, "and this 'found' tablet was supposed to have been written by a Dragon!  It seems it was written before they all left and hidden away never to be seen again until you arrived."
"Do you think I will get to see the tablet?" asked Hungry.  The CAT and Sprigg'n looked at each other, shrugged, and continued to eat their lunch, but while Hungry was eating, his mind was still on the tablet.  "Maybe it can tell me something about why the Dragons left - leaving me behind," he thought.

Spies and Minions...

At the same time  Hir'aeth, the Gooblin King, was meeting with his mechanical spy, Passporte' was following Drat, the Rat, at the Troll King's command.  (To read about that adventure - click here.) 
Picture
​Passporte' had been a little hesitant to enter the small cottage as the entire meeting was held in total darkness.  He never learned what was told to Drat as he did not speak of it even after they left (which only added more mystery to the whole event).
Picture
Drat's web of spies was spread wide for the royal as he was well known for being the one who got those 'special things' done for Druzzy, the King of the Trolls.  Which was a good thing as those spies just reported to him about the finding of the tablet by the 'borrowers'.  Who the 'borrowers' are is not important just yet, but what they had found was.

​A tablet that was rumored to have been written by the Dragons and hidden when they left was the find of the millennium (especially since Trolls and Dragons are known to live for a very long time).
Dragon script is ancient with only a rare few outside the circle of Dragons that can read their written language.  The thing was that Drat had heard the Gooblin King was one of those individuals.  Drat knew that Atian, the Village on the Wall historian, was also one of those but he had left and nobody knew when he would return leaving just the Gooblin King... or so he thought. ​
As he was racking his tiny brain, Drat knew that when he informed Druzzy he would be ordered to find out what was on the tablet... but who to go to?  Then it hit Drat.  One other may know how to read the tablet or possibly might know of someone else with the knowledge.  The Dowager!  She had been a Wish Dragon Clan Guardian and knew many of their secrets.  "How do I get her to tell me," he pondered.  "I may have to resort to that method I seldom use."
At that moment, Griselda, the Dowager, was sitting in her chair at the Baron's mansion, sipping her tea and wondering how Hungry, the little Wish Dragon, was doing.  "I have a feeling I should go see him," she decided.  Once the decision was made, she instructed Sneefle, her faithful servant, to have a message delivered to Hunter, the Shadows' King, that she would be visiting and wouldn't it be nice if she could see Hungry again.  "He will get the message," she smiled, knowing that he would both receive the message and understand. After all, as Hungry being the last of the Dragons of the Wish Dragon clan and herself being the last of the guardians of the Dragon, it was time to confirm that Hungry was learning what he needed to know.

The Gooblin King 's work is never done...

"It's been a while since The Party," smiled Hir'aeth, the Gooblin King.  "What can I do now to annoy that grumpy old troll?" he thought.

Calling the King of the Trolls, Druzzy, a grumpy old troll always put Hir'aeth in a better mood.  In fact, this time he repeated it again out loud so anyone who overheard him would spread the word that he was talking about the Troll King.  Hir'aeth understood the usefulness of spies and already knew that he had one in his court that would report everything he did to the King of the Trolls.  "That will make him wonder what I am up to and keep him busy," Hir'aeth smiled again.  This was turning out to be the beginnings of a good day.
Late last night Rave, his mechanical bird, had reported a story that was still traveling through the King's twisted mind.  He had found a group of "borrowers" who had discovered a tablet dating back to way before the last of the Dragons had left the realms!  Few tablets of this type had ever been found in the Realms but even fewer still were those who could decipher what was written on one.  "It's a good thing I am one of those few that can read these things.  I wonder what it says," he pondered.  "It is probably a recipe on how to cook trolls."  That thought made him smile again.  Here it was, not even breakfast time, and he had smiled three times.  "I better get hold of myself.  They will think I am getting soft!"
Fixing a scowl back to his face, he settled back on his throne and began his daily update about the status of his realm.  An iron hand was his rule.  For he wore his heart on a chain to keep it close by but not to allow it to rule his decisions.  After all, a smart decision was one that was made based on knowing all the information and deciding without the upheaval of messy emotions.  He was fair and just with enough pressure to keep his rowdy clan under control.  Compassion was not his style as he ruled with keen intellect and calculated determination.  "Unlike that stupid Druzzy," thought Hir'aeth, whom he knew he could goad into rash decisions just by making the Troll lose his temper.

"Report," he told his chamberlain.  Instantly the chamberlain begin the routine briefing of all of the doings of the Kingdom in exactly the order the King wanted.  As he droned on and on, as the King wanted no details left out, a small chirping began in King's ear.  It was loud enough for the Hir'aeth to hear it, but low enough that no one else in the room even noticed.  Rave, his mechanical bird, had silently flown into the room and had landed on the King's shoulder.  It was letting him know that there was something important to report.
Picture
"That is enough for the morning," the Gooblin King told his chamberlain.  "Dismiss all of the courtiers, I will be unavailable for the rest of the day."  Bowing to the King and backing out of the chamber was the only response the chamberlain gave as he knew not to question.  "This had better be worth changing my day for..." growled Hir'aeth as he rose from his chair and started towards the door into the private room where he could listen to Rave's report in secrecy.

There is a rumor...

​Say hello to the Gooblin King, Hir'aeth, (pronounced like here-eyeth) with his steel cold grey eyes that see into the deepest, darkest caves and who rules his kingdom with an iron hand.
For Hir'aeth is not known for his gentleness - as he wears his heart safely on the outside on his chain that he keeps close to him at all times.  By keeping his heart separate he likes to think that he makes less emotional judgements than others who don't.  He still believes that if the other leaders in the Realm would have consulted him, then maybe the Wish Dragons wouldn't have left and he could have made everything right.

He recently heard a rumor which required eyes and ears in his kingdom to find out more.  He needed someone to trust, but he doesn't trust anyone anymore. Good thing that the king likes to tinker and create mechanical devices which is why he built himself a reliable wind-up minion who could fly in the air and report only to him.  He called it a Rave and was quite pleased with the job he did, even if he says so himself. 
So what was the rumor and why the concern about the Wish Dragons?  When the Dragons left the Realms, they took with them some of the power of "belief".  When one quits believing in magic it diminishes - which then affect his power.  This isn't to be tolerated!  
​Hir-aeth has heard about the return of a Wish Dragon and knew about the old tales of the Blue Rose in the Dragon's talisman, but he also knows something that the Troll King doesn't.  That if a Wish Dragon consumes the Blue Rose, the Wish Dragon will become one of the rarest forms of Wish Dragon - a Moon Dragon!  He must be first in finding this rose and proving the rumor to be true. Also, if the scrolls are right, he will have some sort of power over the Wish Dragon... but that is little consequence as long as he gets the talisman before the King of the Trolls.
