Twitchy Nose...

9/27/2022

As Arnie came further into the Goodie's cottage, (after closing the door of course, like the voice had told her to do) she couldn't believe her eyes. So many things to see especially all the books and boxes. "Wow!" Arnie whispered to herself, "Goodies must be part Borrower for all the things that are stacked around in the room." Hopefully that meant that the Goodies could truly help her with this Dragon tablet problem she thought.

Then Arnie's nose began to twitch. When her nose starts to twitch, it's a sure sign that something nearby was worth 'borrowing', but there was also a scent in the air. She had smelled it occasionally and then that was usually only when she visited the Outie's (mundane) world. "What was it doing here?" she wondered. It had a touch of the smell of the orange gourd that was sitting by the Goodie's brewing pot when the scent spun around the room again. "There must be the touch of magic here," she decided as her nose continued to wiggle.

While her thoughts were on what was brewing in the pot, a voice popped up as if the speaker was reading her mind. "That's Pumpkin Spice. Isn't it ambrosial? We are constantly brewing a pot for our guests as it is very popular. It seems to be in almost everything now... even the Outie's world has picked up on it," continued the strange voice.

"I am still getting ready," said the voice. "I wasn't expecting you for another week. By the way, I am Goodie2shue and I will be out in a moment as I decide what shoes I am wearing. I DO LOVE my shoes!"

Arnie could hear some rustling around off to the side of her and some more muttering but as it got louder she could hear, "While I am getting ready I can tell you a little about myself. I am the youngest of my sisters and of course that means I do try to look my best," Goodie2shue shouted out.

Silently stepping a little closer to where the voice seemed to be coming from (as only a Borrower can do), Arnie could now hear what Goodie2shue was muttering about, "Where are my ruby red bunny slippers?" It's impossible to find them at times," growled Goodie2shue. "You would think being red would make them easier to find, but they keep running off with those dust bunnies! I guess I could wear something else, but those are my 'favorite' pair of slippers. What should I do???"

What do you think of ruby red bunny slippers for Goodie2shue... should they be a part of her costume? Why not drop me a yes or no in the comments below. I am sure she and I would love to hear from you.

Goodie for Arnie...

9/13/2022

0 Comments

Arnie was a solitary Borrower. She normally traveled alone and had few close acquaintances and none she would label as 'friends'. Borrowers did not make friends easily since within even themselves they could not help from borrowing things and that act normally did not endear them to others. After all, the saying "Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be" was the only way Borrowers could live together at all.

As Arnie continued her walked to the Goodies cottage with the (mischievous) Wysp, (studious) Dulbbe, and (questionable) Drat, all the while the Wysp talking about some of the tricks it had pulled on others, Arnie wondered if this was what it was felt like to hang out with friends. As this was just too deep of a thought for her to ponder on for long, thankfully her thoughts were soon interrupted when they passed a stand of trees and saw the cottage they had been seeking.

"What did I tell you. Here it is," bragged the Wysp. "I will wait out here. The last time I visited I found out that Goodie4U doesn't have a sense of humor at all!" the Wysp complained.

Arnie just shook her head from side to side realizing that getting her here might just be the one good deed the Wysp had ever done. But Arnie still wondered what the Wysp could be up to. Plus it would be nice to know what it did to annoy the Goodie sister. "That might be a good idea," answered Arnie as she started towards the cottage door but then hesitated. "What if they tell me I should give back the tablet?" she realized. Arnie had never really owned anything that was not really someone else's.

The owner of this tablet had been gone for so long and since the tablet had been left alone in a cave, untouched for eons, it was a find she could tell herself was all hers. What bothered her the most was that this feeling of 'owning' something was a new feeling for her as Borrowers are quick to trade whatever they have "borrowed".

As she again approached the cottage door, it slowly opened and she heard a voice calling "Come in, my Dear." Hesitating again at the threshold, she finally told herself "Quit being a scaredy-mouse and see what's inside" - so she entered the cottage and quickly forgot about losing her tablet as she started wondering what she might find hidden here (as every true borrower does).

"Well, don't just stand there with the door open. Close it behind you Arnie," the voice said. Quickly scanning the room, with her eyes darting from each wonderous and intriguing delight, Arnie was fast making her lists of "What was worth borrowing, where were all of the exits, and if there was anyone there (it would not do to have a witness) were always the rules of a Borrower's first priorities. This time, the last priority of the Borrower's short list was Arnie's first thought. "Who was there in the cottage with her?"

Arnie is not a Happy Camper!!!

As Arnie, Drat, Dulbbe, and the Wysp walked down the trail to the Goodies cottage, Arnie stood a little ways away from the rest of the group. Partly so she could try to ignore the constant chattering of the Wysp, but mostly because she was not happy with the arrangements. Grumbling, she muttered under her breath, "Borrowers work alone" as she stomped ahead of the rest. "Who do they think they are to hide out in my bushes and now think they can come with me?" continued Arnie. This is not what she thought would happen when she picked up that mysterious tablet in the cave she had fallen through when out 'borrowing' (which really means appropriating stuff that doesn't belong to her but of course always leaving something else behind).

At the moment when she thought about the tablet, it suddenly disappeared from her pocket. "Oh no, where did it go?" as the panic set into Arnie's mind. She reached for her pocket to find it truly empty and quickly searched other pockets to make sure she had not accidently put it into a different one. Turning around to reach one of her back pockets that required a bit more of a stretch, she saw the tablet in Drat's hands!

"What are you doing with MY tablet?" Arnie demanded of Drat and instantly marched up to him and grabbed it back. Drat just stares at her with his beady red eyes as he couldn't believe that he had actually held the tablet in his hands for all of a few seconds. "Where did that come from?" he thought before he realized something else. "Oh Drat! To think I could have accomplished my mission for the Troll King if I had ran when I had it" he mused to himself as he watched Arnie stuff it into her pocket again and walk away.

Arnie, turning to continue on the trail to the Goodies' home, tried to ignore those following her. Quickly she realized that she was going to have to be even more on her toes that before as she understood that she wasn't the only one that was trying to figure out more about this tablet. Just dawning on her she thought, "That is probably why these two were waiting for me."

Reaching to the pocket again just to reassure herself the tablet was still there she quickly finds out that it has disappeared again! "This has got to quit!" she growls as she stomps her feet and turns around expecting Drat to be holding the tablet again. But No! Now Dulbbe seems to be staring at the tablet in his hands.

Dulbbe, as he looks up to see Arnie glaring at him, quickly put up his hands and replied " I didn't do anything! It just showed up." It was then that Arnie heard a little giggle near her ear. Of course - the WYSP!!! That mischievous little blue imp was playing with her.

Turning towards the Wysp, Arnie continues her glare... "Remember Wsyp, I have a bottle ready for you. If you continue these games, I won't hesitate to use it and that's a promise!"

Reclaiming the tablet yet AGAIN, Arnie turns around and continues stomping down the hill muttering "And this is why Borrowers work alone!" over and over again to herself.

Arnie Stops for a ...

8/16/2022

Arnie was keeping a close eye on the tricky little Wysp who was leading her to the Goodies cottage. She did not trust the Wysp but she was desperate and needed a guide - even one who never seemed to stop talking. "... and then there was the time that me and some of my friends tricked this Gooblin into..." continued the Wysp as it floated in the air in front of Arnie.

Something in what it had said, (Arnie wasn't really listening but it did remind her she needed something before seeing the Goodies) made her interrupt the Wysp. "We have to make a short stop before seeing the Goodies," Arnie told the Wysp. "My place is just ahead and I need to pick up a couple of things".

"Your time is my time," smiled the Wysp. That comment alone made Arnie a little more nervous. First with the Wysp offering to help and now being friendly. "I will also have to pick up another magical bottle just in case," thought Arnie. "That sneaky little Wysp is up to something so armed with more than just one bottle might be a good idea."

As they entered the grove of trees where Arnie lived, just before walking up to the door, Arnie stopped the Wysp and told it to stay outside while she got her things. "I haven't clean in a while and I don't want you to see how messy my place is..." the Borrower had told the little blue Wysp. In actuality, Borrowers are neat freaks and Arnie would be mortified to think that her place had been left in a mess. Stepping up to her door and standing with her back to the Wysp to block it from seeing how she opened the locks to get in, Arnie was too busy to realize that the Wysp was no longer even watching her.

It had found something else to keep it occupied. "Two other victims to trick," giggled the Wysp as it spied both 'victims' hiding in the bushes.

As Arnie opened her door she was surprised! The place was a mess! "What is going on here?" she thought. "This isn't how I left it..." After walking through the chaos, she soon realized that someone else had been in her home and must have been looking for something. "Why do I have a feeling they are looking for the tablet?" she asked herself. In all of the years she had been 'borrowing', she had never had anyone enter her home. "What is on this tablet?" she whispered to herself.

While Arnie was going from room to room to see if whomever had searched her home had found all of her secret nooks and crannies, the Wysp decided to check out the watchers. "First the rat," she thought. Flying over to where Drat was hiding she hoovered over him and started its questions...

"Whatcha doing? Why are you in the bushes? Your eyes are red, does that mean you are tired?" and many more. Drat knew that he had been spotted, so he did what he figured was the best approach and swatted at the Wysp which it easily avoided. "Go away!" he growled at the little blue fae. "Can't you see I am busy?"

In a bush several yards away, Dulbbe had been day-dreaming about the crystal ball and all that it had taught him about the Dragon language. "Who would have ever known that both numbers and music were required to read Dragon," he thought. "I must see Hewy as soon as I get the tablet back from the Borrower." As he was thinking about how Hewy might be able to help him, he finally noticed the Wysp and Drat in the bushes close to him. "Where did they come from," his eyes popped open in surprise.

"Since you are not being very nice, I will go over and talk with the other one hiding in the bushes," said the Wysp to Drat. "Maybe he will be more talkative." Flying over to the bush where Dulbbe was hiding, it started asking more questions. "What are you doing in the bushes? Wouldn't it be more polite if you came out where others could see you? Is there something special in the there? Can I see?..." It was then that the Wysp could see who was hiding. It was that stupid Troll that made her answer the Shadows' King questions! "What are you doing here!" the Wysp growled at Dulbbe but before he could answer, a thought occurred to it.

"We are going to see the Goodies, do you want to come along?" the little Wysp evilly smiled.

Making Plans. . .

7/26/2022

As Arnie was thinking of the things she could do to the Wysp if it was tricking her again, others in the Realms were also making plans...

"Awena, now that my son is heading back to the mansion, what is it that you are not telling me?" asked the Dowager. "After I read the story of the Nyte Shades, you changed slightly. Others would not have noticed, but I have known you long enough to tell when there is something wrong. What is it old friend?"

At first Awena could not look directly at Griselda but after a moment she lifted her head up and spoke.

"There is a prophecy about the Nyte Shades and I believe you are part of it. It was written long ago and is not very clear, but from what the Sleeping Sisters have determined about it's contents there are a Dragon, a Nyte Shade, and a Fae who will hold the key to the little Wish Dragon's fate."

After a short pause, Awena continued in a low voice, "I believe that Fae could may be you as you were the one who was able to open the enchanted book when no others could."

"I feel that you are wrong, but tell me more about this prophecy," answered the Dowager. "There are so many other Fae involved in this mess with the Dragon tablet that you must be wrong." So, as Awena and Griselda discuss the prophecy, others were also busy...

"Sir, what are we doing here in this dark part of troll town?" asked Fiddlefaddle quietly as he leaned into the Baron so no one might overhear him.

"Come on Fiddlefaddle!" chided the Baron. "We have to go in to talk to Hewy. I heard he was still playing rock and roll with a band here at the Goat Troll Tavern." He might be able to tell us more about the Borrower. Also we need to hurry so we can get back to the Mansion before mom realizes that I did not go directly back after leaving her with Awena."

"Sir, are you sure this is the best option? I have checked with some of our old friends and only one of them said that the Troll King was looking for the Borrower," asked Fiddlefaddle, the Baron's faithful BAT man.

"I still think that checking with Drat (the Troll King's top minion) might be more beneficial," he continued.

"Come on you scaredy-cat! If we talk to any the Troll King's minions or the Gooblin King's, then they will know what we are doing. Now, just follow my lead," said the Baron as he walked into the Troll bar right past the sign that read "Aged Goat's Milk Today's Special - 100 Proof" as they looked for Hewy...

"Has anyone seen Hungry lately?" asked Dewin to the others who had volunteered to be one of the Wish Dragon's teachers. "He did not shown up for his Belching Lessons this morning and you all know that he needs to learn the delicateness of control."

"Do you blame him? You should be teaching him something useful, like how to fly. So what if Hungry makes huge fires because he can't control his belching? I don't know why anyone would want to control belching." The CAT thought as he rubbed his tummy thinking of a tasty meal or two.

So where was Hungry? At the moment, he was hiding behind a tree and waiting for Nemmer and Scarlet to walk past his hiding spot. He had seen the two of them walking down the trail and he was not in the mood to have to answer any more questions. Questions, questions, questions were all that he had heard in the past several days. Every one of his teachers always asking him questions and expecting him to have the right answers (at least according to them). It was a bright sunny day and he wanted play for a while. The problem was, who to play with that would not tell him that he needed to go back to school... "I bet Meen could teach me Leap Frogg'n instead. Now that is my type of lesson!" Hungry finally decided.

Arnie On The Trail...

7/19/2022

2 Comments

As Arnie walked down the trail in the direction of the Goodies' cottage from the instructions she got from Squirrely, she was running the names of the three sisters through her head. It wasn't like she had ever met them before and the tales she had heard of them that she knew it would be good to get their names right. "Lets see. One is Goodie Good," she mumbled to herself. "Another is Goodie4U, but I just can't remember the third one."

"It's Goodie2Shues young Borrower," a voice said from behind her ear.

Arnie jumped, startled that anyone could be this close to her. Normally Borrowers are hard to sneak up on, but this time she was caught fully unaware. Turning around quickly she looked everywhere but did not see anyone. "Who said that?" she asked. "I did" was the response again from behind her. Turning around slowly this time, the owner of the voice did not hide. It was the blue Wysp!

"You! I should stick you in a jar and drop you off of a cliff!" growled Arnie. "You tricked me and I owe you one." The Wysp only stared at the Borrower, not saying a word until Arnie spoke again. "What do you want and why are you following me? Go away!"

"If I go away, how will you get in to see the Goodies? They won't see you without an appointment which can only be made through me," said the Wysp.

"Why is that? I thought the Goodies will speak to anyone?" answered Arnie even though she knew the Wysp had to be up to some kind of mischief again. "And why am I even wasting my time talking to you? You just want to trick me again."

Normally the Wysp would be thinking of another way to trick the Borrower, but this time she was way madder at how she had been magically frozen and forced to answer that stupid troll's (Dulbbe) questions in the tunnel. "I am trying to make it up to you," she sweetly told Arnie with a smile.

"Then tell me why the Goodies won't see me without making an appointment with you?" asked Arnie.

"They are very busy and by the way, it is because you are also going the wrong way. That would really mess up my schedule book by the time you figured that out," replied the Wysp. "They live on the other side of the forest." Realizing that the Wysp might be right (grudgedly she had to admit that she didn't know exactly where the Goodies lived). Leave it it to Squirrely to not know his right from his left or up from down when he sketched her this map. After all, he was a little nutty and only good for knowing where he hid his winter stashes of tasty nuts. Arnie decided that if she must, then she might as well take another chance with the Wysp.

She couldn't waste any more time in trying to get answers about this tablet. "Okay. I will follow you this time, but if you trick me again, I already have a bottle in one of my pockets that you could fit into and I know of a very high cliff to drop you off of!" Which was a tempting thought Arnie smiled to herself thinking of the little Wysp.

The Mice & Birds Are...

7/12/2022

While Ffion is running around naked in her room, trying to get the birds and the mice to help her dress, (for every princess should have mice and bird friends to sew their clothes and clean their houses). Alas, she has only me.

Sew (oops...) So, its time for me to warm up the sewing machine, dig out some silk material, and put on my tailor outfit.

Now I am afraid I don't let mice into the house and the birds are my hubby's domain, but I do enjoy playing with colors.

Especially my favorites of blue and purple here in Ffion's fabric. A little bit of spray and a whole lot of color... meanwhile...

Dulbbe had been making his way down the tunnel where he discovered a key.

At first he almost missed it, but then he saw a tag attached to it because Borrowers are very possessive and hate to lose anything - especially keys. So they always have a 'return to owner' tag on all their keys.

Dulbbe now knew who had been in the tunnel, but now just needed to find out where this Borrower could be. Hopefully the return address on the back of the tag would help... meanwhile...

Arnie, having made her way out of the tunnel through the hole she had found when she first discovered the Dragon tablet, threw her hands up in the air and was slowly figuring out that she might just be in over her head. Mumbling to herself, "If I knew what was good for me, I would just go and get rid of this tablet." The problem was that Borrowers really have a hard time letting something go without at least trading up, and that this was the first thing she ever had that wasn't owned by someone else (well at least through the Borrower's Chain that is).

Her friend Squirrel, hearing her mumbles, sat on a tree branch and looked down on Arnie as she climbed from the hole. "Funny you should mention one of the Goodies' sisters. Why not drop by and visit with them. You know the Goodies are always good for something. After all, they are the biggest gossips in the Realm... even more than the Twitter birds. They supposedly know something about everything."

At this point Arnie was willing to try anything! Soon she was heading off to see what goodies she could discover with the Goodie Sisters.

Summer School... Really???

The King had ordered Dulbbe to follow whomever had been in the tunnels behind the waterfall in their garden. "If it is the mysterious Borrower with the Dragon tablet, bring both to me at the castle. No, change that, whomever you find, bring to me. I have some questions that need to be answered," the King had ordered.

While Dulbbe was searching the tunnel, Arnie, the Borrower, was feeling pretty gloomy. She wasn't getting any help finding out what it was that she had found and felt like she was just running around in circles... or actually very long tunnels. She realized that she needed to find someone, and soon, who could get her out of this mess she was slowly finding herself in.

In the meantime Hunter, the Shadows' King, after revealing to his daughter, Ffion, what he knew of the book that was in the tunnel before the Borrower had removed it, thought maybe it was time for her to meet the Sleeping Sisters. (That story was available to subscribers only - but it is never too late to sign-up or by sending me an email to read it).

Hunter then sent out his messenger, Meen, the Pkysee, to summon Awena of the Sleeping Sisters for an audience at his castle. "Tell her to hurry!" he had told Meen as he sent her off on the mission.

The problem was that Awena was busy with the Dowager and her son, the Baron, trying to figure out what they could about the Borrower who had the Dragon tablet. Plus, who did Hunter think he was "summoning" her to show up. "Humpf!" she thought as she heard the message.

Even annoyed about the message, Awena did know of her responsibility as a Sleeping Sister to teach Ffion of her heritage. While Meen waited in the receiving room for her response, Awena started pulling out books and scrolls to send back with Meen until she could come to Hunter's castle herself to meet with Ffion. "This will have to do until I arrive," she decided after putting another book in the small pile. Realizing that there might be too many books and scrolls for Meen to carry, Awena sent for a small satchel to put them in for the trip back to the castle. Now if Hunter had been more willing to communicate with her or if Awena hadn't felt like she could solve the problem of the Borrower on her own, a lot of confusion could have certainly been avoided, but then that would have shortened the story (*smiling*).

Meen found that the satchel she received from Awena slowed down her hopping and jumping, especially after she accidently ripped the bag hopping over a tree stump. But she also knew that the King was waiting for her return and did not seem to be in the best of moods. For once, she headed (mostly) straight back to the castle.

When Meen entered the King's waiting room with all the books and lessons she received from Awena for Ffion to start studying, Ffion walked out to hear the message from the Sleeping Sisters. Poor Meen was trying to hold on to all of the books, lessons & scrolls since the satchel had finally ripped all the way open, that some of the scrolls fell to the floor and started to unroll.

Ffion picked up the one that fell closest to her which was titled 'Awena's Primary on the Language of Flowers'. Now this could be interesting.

Then she heard Meen tell the King, "Sire. The Sleeping Sisters are not available to come now, but sent these books and scrolls so that Princess Ffion may start her schooling immediately until they are available to come to answer your summons."

"Schooling! It was "summer" - who wanted to be doing schoolwork when there was fun to be had out in the Realm!" screamed Ffion in her mind. She watched to see what her father's reaction from the Sisters message would be. When he jumped up from his throne, a small smile escaped her lips... that was until she realized that the King was demanding Meen to find the Royal Tutor to begin her lessons. "Oh no. There goes summer!"

Dulbbe looks deep ? ? ?

Doing as the King commanded, Dulbbee pulled his shades down on his glasses. First one, then the other as they were what helped him see that which was hidden. Each lens had a special magical purpose, but when both were used, he could see further and clearer than any normal pair of glasses would allow.

As he peered through the lenses towards the waterfall, he could see past the falling water and into the cave behind it. He wasn't sure but he thought he could just glimpse seeing something purple leaving the tunnel but that was all he could make out before it disappeared. Following the tunnel in the cave, he noticed something moving! Off in the higher part of the cave he realized there was a Wysp hovering in the air. "Your Highness, something has left the cave but there is still a Wysp in the tunnel," Dulbbe told the King as they made their way towards the waterfall.

The King commanded the water to part for him so all of them could enter and at the same time he used his magic to freeze the Wysp in mid-air. Wysps are quick and think themselves to be quite clever, but the King was in no mood to have to track it down when he knew that the Wysp would disappear.

As they approached the Wysp, still hanging in the air trying to figure out why it could not fly away, Dulbbe started asking it questions. "Was there a Borrower in the cave with you? Who was it?"

"I don't know," answered the Wysp. "Now my question, why can't I move?" Dulbbe responded by telling the Wysp that it would be able to move if it answered his questions. When the little blue imp realized that this was only temporary, it decided to stall for some more time and have a little fun with the funny looking troll before it would be able to disappear. "What are those glasses for?" it asked.

Dulbbe knew that Wysp's thought themselves quite clever and this one was no exception.

Realizing this tactic was not working, decided a different approach. Turning to the Shadows' King, he said, "Your Highness, this Wysp is just a dumb imp who doesn't know anything. I think we will have to search out the cave for ourselves since it probably is just lost in this cave."

"Lost in this cave am I," screamed the Wysp! "I would have you know that I outsmarted that stupid Borrower, tricked her into following me, and then left her in the dark at the end of the cave where all the water was. I even know her name!"

"Nevermind this one, your Majesty, it is only talking to try and get some attention," Dulbbe told the King. "Do you want me to begin the search for the Borrower or a smarter Wysp?"

Ffion, standing behind the King, had never seen a Wysp so upset. Later she would almost swear that the blue imp had turned bright red - it was that mad!

The imp was so upset that it had not even realized that the King's magic was no longer holding it frozen as it flew right up to within inches of Dulbbe's nose as it answered. "Her name was Arnie because I heard it through the trees as some nutty squirrel was shouting at her before she entered the cave. He kept squeeking away with 'Arnie, you need to put that back!' because he told her that whatever she had found would be trouble."

Hearing the Wysp's answer, immediately the King started towards the end of the cave in a run, leaving behind both a confused Ffion and Dulbbe. It was at that moment the Wysp realized that it could move and in a puff of blue smoke, vanished. "Good riddance," muttered Dulbbe.

"Dulbbe, what do you think has gotten into Dad? I have never seen him this nervous before..." Dulbbe could only shrug his shoulders before they both turned to start down the tunnel to follow the King.

Did the Borrower find IT???

As Dulbbe left his small room down in the lower levels (and luckily next to the library) of the Shadows' King castle to answer the King's summon, his head was still going around and around about learning Ancient Dragon thanks to the Dragon Crystal ball.

He was almost to the gardens when he thought "I better focus on what could the King possibly want, especially since he said not to forget to bring my glasses."

Meanwhile, when Dulbbe had been still questioning the crystal ball about Dragon Lore, the Borrower in question had finished exploring Ffion's garden (finding nothing worth borrowing) and was stepping back through the waterfall into the tunnel.

"Well, this was a dud," thought Arnie. As her eyes adjusted to the dark tunnel, she realized that the Wysp who had led her to the falls was no where to be seen. "At least that's something," sighing with relief. "I will get even with that little troublemaker when I have more time," she vowed, remembering how it had abandoned her in the dark cave earlier.

"Why is it always me?" she thought. Looking upward for answers (that never seemed to appear), she decided to light one of the small candles she stashed in one of her many pockets. Still getting no answer, Arnie soon started the trek up the tunnel back to the hole she had entered into the cave. It did not take long before Arnie's temper had risen another level higher at the Wysp!

"Here is a smoother and even trail the Wysp could have taken me on instead of the winding and rock covered trail it had lead me over!" Arnie whispered to herself "Grrrr - I will find the time to get even with that Wysp," she growled.

As Arnie was walking in the tunnel and Hunter, the Shadows' King, who was pacing back and forth while waiting for Dulbbe to show up, asked Ffion, his daughter "Where did you see this stranger?"

"It was over by the waterfall. Actually, it had come out of the waterfall," replied Ffion.

Startled, Hunter stopped pacing and turned to look at his daughter. "What are you talking about?" Having to skid to a stop since the King had been going so fast that she had been practically running to keep by his side, it took a second to answer. "I was looking at the pond and the flowers around it, when all of a sudden a hand appeared and then an arm started poking out of the waterfall. Finally, it disappeared and then the stranger came through completely," she told him. "That's when I decided I should let you know that someone was in my garden."

Hunter, ignoring her reference to it being 'her garden', started walking even faster now towards the waterfall. "Has someone found it?" he wondered to himself. "It is one thing to be curious what a Borrower had found, but if it was MY dragon tablet that I have been guarding, then I need to find that Borrower NOW!" the King was shouting in his head.

Ffion was running to catch up with her father as he was walking faster now than he did before. About this time Dulbbe was crossing over the garden to meet them. Before he could say anything the King shouted "About time. Did you bring your glasses? Look at the waterfall and tell me what you see with them!"
