Break'n the Rules...

The party was over without the Borrowers showing up and all that was left to do now was to send the few that always have to be told that it was time for them to go home to leave.  That... and of course the cleaning up.

​As the Dowager, Griselda, and the Baron said their goodbyes to Hungry and the Shadows' King, Griselda was thinking about all that Hunter had told her about what he knew of the tablet.  "Not much," she thought.  "I probably know more about Dragon tablets than he does."  This thought disturbed her because she knew that the Baron and Hunter were correct in their concerns about the troubles this tablet could bring.

Dragons have a very long memory.  Some people think that an elephant does, but in comparison to a Dragon, the elephant is just a passing thought.  Part of this goes back to Dragons living to very old ages.  Where 'Outies' measure events in years, the Dragons measure in eons.  Few of the fae live to be as old as a Dragon and it has been a long time since the Dragons left the realms, but Griselda remembers.  She was after all a Dragon Clan member and talked to Dragons more than any other fae and that is why the discovery of a Dragon tablet bothered her so much.

Griselda knew that Dragons only wrote down something on a tablet so it would not be forgotten.  That usually meant that tablets were for a secret not to be shared freely or something so important that no Dragon should ever forget it!

So, as her and the Baron entered the coach, she was thinking about what to do...

"Hunter, dear, do you mind if your Nytemare takes me on a couple of errands before we return home?" she asked the Shadows' King.  "It won't be much out of the way to the Baron's Mansion and these old bones are not up to much more exercise today."

As the Baron forced back a smile, knowing that his mother could still work circles around him, he knew she was up to something and added, "We would appreciate it."

Not wanting to appear uncourteous, he whispered instructions to the Nytemare to be available for them for the night and to take them where ever they requested and soon they were on their way.
