The Winter Solstice Party...

12/21/2021

"Leave it to Hunter to be unpredictable.  Here we should be having a little tea party and he turns it into the event of the season," growled the Dowager as she rode in a coach on the way to the Winter Solstice event.  "Discussing the finding of a Dragon tablet doesn't make this meeting with Hungry any easier either.  Now everyone will want to see him!  
​At least the King sent one of his Nytemares to pull my coach."  As horses are few in the Realms, when a Nytemare is willing to take you somewhere - it is only because they wanted to or the Shadows' Realm King commands them to.  Griselda was being given an extra treat, being able to ride in one of the King's coaches.  "It is nice not to have to walk," she thought.  "But he still is going to get an earful about this!"
As the Dowager traveled and was going over in her mind what she was going to say to the Shadows' King, little did she realize that the coach was being watched.  Actually, all approaches to the King's castle were being watched!  But by whom (or what) is the real question.  
Each of the other Kings had their minions out scouting for any clues to the secrets of the Dragon tablet but as of yet, no one had seen the Borrowers.  Drat had several of the Troll King's minions watching the trails through the forest (and of course following the Gooblin King's minions) while the Gooblin King had his minions watching the Troll King's minions.  He had even put his mechanical bird to the task as it was to continuously fly over Hunter's castle to watch for any unexpected arrivals.

But with all of these minions on the lose, no one thought to check with Meen to see the invited guest list.  Of all the guests she had delivered an invitation to, one was skipped over...  No, it was not Hungry (as he had already arrived the day before the party so he could visit with Meen and see the Nytemares).  It wasn't Snoop who already was sitting next to the entrance doors to the ballroom so he could keep a list of all of the attendees for the morning edition of the Bellwether. ​

​Neither was it The Gooblin King and Troll King who were trying to be polite to each other (and it was killing both of them).   
Picture
Nor was it the Baron who was presenting the Dowager to the Shadows' King while trying to hide his grin since he knew how mad she was that her little private tea party plan had become a huge event.  It seemed everyone who was someone was there except... the Borrowers!  ​
Now, why Meen had not added them to the invitation list would probably be based on the Borrower's history.  Anytime a Borrower showed up anywhere, they had the habit of 'borrowing' something.  It was worse at parties!  So much bling and things to see, that they just could not keep their hands in their own pockets.  Forks, knives, spoons, small furry animals, even shoes were known to have disappeared when the Borrowers appeared.  (Most instances the items were returned eventually and in some cases even something better had been left behind as in the one instance when a glass of milk had disappeared but in its place was left a milk cow - even if the cow was someone else's, the fact that something better had been left cannot be overlooked.)
It didn't take long before everyone realized (as nothing had gone missing still) that one of the main reasons they had decided to show up for the party wasn't there!  No Borrowers which meant no Dragon tablet.  Yes, there was a real Dragon, and usually that would have been something of a spectacle, but this group wanted to see what all the hullabaloo was about regarding this newest find... or at least what the latest gossip was about.  Since it wasn't here soon the guests started to make excuses as to why they needed to leave (but not until after filling their pockets with food from the buffet tables).
Picture
As the party dwindled down to just the minion staff and the few guests who had really wanted to just attend a party, Hunter lead Griselda, Hungry, and the Baron into a small sitting room for a quick private discussion.  "It appears that the race is now on for who finds out what is on the Dragon tablet first," said the Shadows' King to the others as they sat.  "I know this is not what you were expecting Griselda but I needed to know what you know about it."
"What tablet?" Hungry asked, but before Hunter could answer the Baron said, "This tablet that might have untold power."  As he continued, Hunter only nodded his head affirming the Barons chilling words.  "Hungry, some rulers are benevolent and just, while some are looking to expand their treasury or reputation.  There are some who quest for more knowledge or power and some want to change things to be the way they want them to be.  Several here tonight attended so they could see the Dragon tablet and had hoped to learn something that the others did not know.  Since the tablet wasn't here, each is now heading to their realm to start the race to see who can find the Borrower with the tablet and get it for themself."

"A race you say? asked Hungry looking at the Shadows' King.  "Are we in it?"

Invitations are coming in...

"Hmmm.  It has been a long time since Hunter has thrown a party.  I wonder how he has heard about the tablet?" Druzzy grumbled.  "Maybe the Wish Dragon will also be there.  That would save me from having to be nice to that annoying musical troll Hewy."
Others wonder how they can use the gathering to their advantage...
"Ahhhh... This works perfectly into my plans.  Now maybe I will find out if anyone else already knows what is on the tablet or where it truly is.  If this event can help me find the Dragon Token then attending this frivolous party will be worth it," smiled the Gooblin King.  "This way I won't be needing my little mechanical bird for this party.  I can send him out for a back up plan, like bringing in pizza for later!"
Picture
And some had hoped that nobody knew about the tablet at all...
Picture
"Drat.  I had hoped that word of the tablet would not have gotten around to everyone yet.  Now all of them will be trying to find out what the tablet says and I am only figuring out parts of it myself.  If only my sight would show it to me but something is screening it.  If anybody else would have found it but the Borrowers, I would already have been able to see it.  I am sure that this is the beginning of another catastrophe," growled Awena.  "Arrange for transportation immediately.  I will be attending this Solstice Party," Awena told one of her attending Sleeping Sisters.
But one had only a single concern...

"Whatever a Solstice Party is, I sure hope it has lots of food," thought Hungry.

A Minion's work is only beginning - The Invites

The Shadows' King has meet with the staff of his castle and the planning has begun.  Rooms are being tidy up for the guests.  Even the Dusty Mytes were called in to help as long as they didn't "sneeze" others into forgetting what they were suppose to be doing.  (Check tutorial if you need your own dusty myte for your holiday cleaning.)​
The kitchen larder is being well stocked for the dinner to be served at this Winter Solstice Event.  Everyone knows a Troll can eat more than three times their weight in sugar cookies alone.  Meen, being Hunter's chief minion, was delegated the task of sending out the invitations (as well as delivering them).  She hopes she has everyone's name spelled right.  Nothing would land her in the dungeon faster than if she got a title or name spelled wrong as royalty is so sensitive that way.  
Picture
If the Dowager was thinking that her suggestion to meet with Hunter, the Shadows' King, and to have him invite Hungry to a small quiet affair then she must have forgotten or be way out of practice - for this event will be the Event of the Year if he had anything to do about it.
"I have no intention of keeping this meeting small," thought Hunter as he smiled while reading the invitation that Meen had given him to approve.  Handing the invitation back to Meen he told her, "The invitations are fine Meen.  Go ahead and start delivering them but make sure they understand that this is going to be one party that they won't want to miss."  As she scampered away The King mumbled under his breath, "And we shall soon find out what is on the Dragon tablet."  For he knew that if he was to keep his own realm safe he better know  who the players in this drama are and what they want.
