The Crack of Doom...

1/10/2023

Picture
As Goodiegood rushed into the Shadows' King's garden she spied the first small group of gathers there "Are we late?"  Knowing that her and her sister's powers would be needed, even if they were late for the beginning of the Dragon's transformation, they were where they needed to be now.
​
Looking around the garden she saw the Sleeping Sister, Awena, standing by Griselda, the Dowager, with their heads bent together in quiet conversation.  
Off to one side was Hewy, the Troll,  who was busy giving the Gooblin King, Hir'aeth, the evil eye as the Gooblin King wondered to himself where had Druzzy, the Troll King, snuck off too?  Efem, the Tree Mother, was huddled with Dewin by a small bench and waving her hands in the air trying to make a point as she tried to get his complete attention. While Dewin was trying also to see where the Troll King had wondered off as well as try to keep one ear open to listen to Efem.  ​
Things were certainly tense and confusing.  It was then, as Goodiegood was looking around at everyone, that she noticed the large crystal-like egg in the the middle of the garden.  "I doubt that has been here very long," she asked without expecting much of an answer.  She realized what it was as she looked closer seeing something blue swirling around inside of it.  
Turning to her sisters she said, "It looks like what we feared has happened.  The Prophesy has begun with the Last Wish Dragon being lost.  Now we must find out who sacrificed their magic for this to have happened."  As the three sisters started looking around the garden to see who might be missing from the vision they had earlier, Goodie2shues finally hollered to the crowd, "Everyone! We don't have much time so listen up!  We need to talk to Ffion or the Shadows' King.  Does anyone know where they are?" 
As the crowd stopped what they were doing and all looked at the Goodie sister, it was the Dowager who spoke first.  "Ffion was rushed out of the garden by the King's scribe, Dulbbe, when the King and Hungry vanished!"
Picture
When the Dowager finished, Goodie4u mumbled loud enough for only her sisters to hear, "Now we know who sacrificed their power, as the King and Ffion being Nyte Shades are the only two beings strong enough to give up their power and not be swayed by the Darkness or Greed."  Realizing that speed was now needed, Goodie2shues spoke again to the crowd.  "We need to speak to Ffion immediately!  The Realm depends on it!"
Picture
All of a sudden, a loud 'CRACK' echoed in the garden startling those standing next to the large egg-like crystal.  Goodiegood looked at her sisters with concern in her eyes.  "Goodie2shues, you go and grab Ffion!  Goodie4u, get Scarlet to ready the Nytemares," she continued as she pointed to the King's Farrier.  "You both know what we need!  Time is the most important thing now and we don't have any to waste!"
As her sisters disappeared, Goodiegood quietly mumbled to herself, "The best thing we can do now is get Ffion back to our place so we can whip up our 'Surrogare' recipe before this egg fully hatches.  The Ntyemares are the best choice to fly us home in time."
As the other two sisters flew off to do her bidding, Goodiegood thought about trying to explain to Awena and the Dowager what was happening, but there just wasn't enough time.  All she could do was shout out "Trust ME!" as she ran to follow her sisters.

Winter Solstice...

12/20/2022

The Full Moon had been waning as the Winter Solstice drew nearer which meant that the Dowager was running out of time.  The Nytemares were busy trying to find everyone she had written a message to and then rush them back to the Shadows' King castle.
The first to arrive was Awena which the Dowager was very glad to see.  Griselda had quickly grabbed her and took her down into the depths of the library where the Shadows' King had been holed up for the past several days.
As they entered the library, Awena said, "I know there is a prophecy about the Wish Dragon.  Now you are telling me that the King and his daughter are Nyte Shades?  And that they are also going to be affected because they are?"

"Yes to both," answered the Dowager, "and in a way that I am afraid that will put others at risk according to what Ffion has shared with me."
Picture
As they approached their destination, a green glow was emanating from under the door to room 101.  When they knocked they had already decided not to wait for an answer and rushed in before the King could refuse seeing them.  What they saw was a surprise!  Both spied the King sitting on a low stool with his head in his hands.  His clothes, normally clean and spotless, were rumpled and dirty.  His hair stuck out in all directions, no longer combed and braided, but the part that shocked them the most was the defeated look in his eyes.
As they rushed to his side to find out what ailed him, the Dowager was first to speak.  "What is it King Hunter?" she asked as Awena placed her hands on his slumped shoulders.  Awena could feel the tension and frustration that was floating around the King but also something she thought she would never see in him.  She could feel his despair!  Slowly the King looked up at them and in a weary voice asked, "What do you know about the Dragon tablet?"
"Very little," the Dowager replied.  "Other than what the flutterby just shared with me a little while ago.  It has been located and coming here by way of a Borrower as well as with your faithful Scribe, Dulbbe."  ​
"Then there is hope!" murmured the King.  Slowly he stood up with a little wobble since he truly hadn't eaten much in days.  He placed the silk cover over the green glowing crystal ball that had been beside him.  While he was doing this, the Dowager was sharing that she had felt the need to assemble everyone in the King's garden, while she was apologizing that she had used his personal messengers the Nytemares.  The King nodded to her as he picked up the crystal ball and proceeded to leave the library room.  "I agree," answered the King.  Appearing to gain strength from all that he was hearing from the Griselda, he continued, "We will all assemble in the garden as soon as everyone is here, especially Hungry.  He is the key element and now it seems is his time.  I had hoped to give him more time by sending him to his teachers when he first arrived in the Shadows' Realm.  When the tablet had been taken, it started the process and whether or not he is ready, it seems that Hungry will now be coming into his power."​
Picture
By the next night, the night of the Winter Solstice, all were there. From Hungry, the little Wish Dragon, to his teachers like Hewy, Dewin, and even Efem, the Tree Mother.  Also attending was the Troll King, Druzzy, and the Gooblin King, Hir'aeth.  Most were there to help support the lil' Dragon through whatever would happen next, but not all had pure motives.
King Hunter, the Shadows' King, lead everyone out into his garden and then down a trail and through a veil of hanging vines that parted as the participants approached.  Hidden inside was a secluded garden of Moonflowers which surrounded a small stone bench in the center.  The night was black with the new moon and only a handful of dimly shining stars were in the sky but everyone could see the white trail of stones that lead through the Moonflowers and surrounded it.
"Hungry, would you please sit yourself on the stone bench in the center of the garden?"  asked King Hunter while directing the others to stand in a circle around the bench and the now seated Dragon.  "Arnie, as I understand it, you have my tablet?" asked Hunter to the Borrower who was trying to hide behind some of the others in the circle.
With a bowed head, Arnie approached the King while offering the tablet in her hands.  "It is the one time I am sorry that I 'borrowed' something Sire Sir," Arnie meekly replied.  Hunter gently took the tablet from her hands.  "You are forgiven, for it was all part of the prophecy and you were just the element that sparked the beginning of it," the King told her.
He then turned to Awena of the Sleeping Sisters and asked, "Did you bring the Blue Rose with the Tear that your Order has been watching over for eons?"
"Yes," Awena answered.  "We too felt it would be needed.  Would you like for me to give it to Ffion?" Awena asked as she turned to look at the young princess.  For Awena knew that if one took the Moonflower and combined it with a Nyte Shade (for she just learned from the Dowager that Ffion was that Nyte Shade) that it would make the effects of the Moonflower be 100 fold (As in Sleeping Beauty just took a short nap in comparison).
Picture
​​"No, Awena, Please hand it to me," the king replied.
With the Dragon tablet and now the rose in his hand, King Hunter approached Hungry.  "Do you trust me?" asked the King to the lil' Dragon.  As Hungry looked up into his eyes he could see a great sadness in them but he could also feel an over whelming sense of peace and love.  "I don't know you well Sir, but I do trust you," Hungry replied. 
"Then eat the rose," the King commanded as he handed it to the Wish Dragon. Hungry replied, "That should not be a problem for I am forever hungry and sure could use a little snack right now.  Is it sweet?  I do love sweet things, especially from the Sugar Plum factory."  The King nodded his head and told Hungry that he wouldn't be hungry afterwards.
Hungry ate the rose.  As he started chewing, he closed his eyes savoring the sweet taste and the lovely smell of the magic ambrosia.  Then he burped.  It had come from his tummy where a little spark had arisen while he chewed the flower.  It had floated up his throat and out his mouth as he burped.  The spark continued to rise and was quickly hovering over his head where it grew bigger and brighter. Larger and brighter it grew like a shining star in the sky.  The light was almost turning this dark night into day with it's glow and then all of a sudden it burst! Sparks flew everywhere causing those standing around the Wish Dragon to shield their eyes and turn their heads away.
When they turned back to look at Hungry, the Dragon tablet laid on the ground, the Shadows' King was gone, and a huge crystal orb was in the middle of the garden where the Wish Dragon had been sitting.  As everyone was examining the crystal orb, the others did not notice as the Troll King quickly picked up the tablet and slide it under his crown.

Off to See a Wizard...

After a short trek through the Wandering Woods, the trio of Hewy, the Baron, and Fiddlefaddle arrive at the entrance of a small cave.  Sitting outside on a rock (that actually looked more comfortable than the tree trunk they had sat on in the Troll tavern) was the wizard, Dewin, looking into his crystal ball.

​"Good day Dewin," said Hewy.  "How's the Dragon training going?"
"When a certain student decides not to disappear to go off and play... not too bad," answered Dewin with a disgruntled look.  "We were supposed to have a belching class this morning but he skipped out somewhere.  I have been looking up some more information for his studies in my crystal ball for when he returns.  He will wish he had attended the class instead of going off to play by the time I get done." 
It was when looking up from the crystal ball that the wizard noticed that his three visitors all looked a little more than just concerned about the absence of the Wish Dragon.  "What's going on?" asked Dewin.  "Is there something I should know about?"
The Baron started out and then Hewy jumped in to explained their concerns about Hungry's safety.  "Yes," said Hewy, "the Troll King has been asking a lot of questions about Dragons and that he was hearing about a Dragon tablet.  We're concerned about what the Troll King might do if he could capture Hungry." ​
"This Dragon tablet you mentioned sounds like it could be a powerful tool in the wrong hands," mused Dewin as he stood up and started pacing while he thought.  "And you think that Druzzy (the Troll King) has heard about Hungry, thinking he could be the answer on how to read the tablet?" the wizard muttered as he continued pacing, thinking about what he was just told. 

​Shortly Dewin stopped pacing and turned to the others.  "There possibly is more here going on than you think," said Dewin. ​
Picture
"Recently I was looking over some old scrolls, preparing for a lesson with Hungry, when I found a reference to a Dragon Transformation ritual.  It was just a small note scribbled on the margin that I just took as a pondering note, but now it makes some sense." ​
The others did not interrupt the wizard, so he continued his ponderings.  "It mentioned a disaster with the Dragons.  Something about how a Wish Dragon was undergoing the transformation when a bird interrupted the ceremony.  From the sounds of the note, things did not go well for the Wish Dragon.  That is all I know about it as sadly what happened wasn't written."  The three visitors concernedly glanced at each other and made a decision.
"We need to find Hungry now to make sure he is safe and well hidden from the Troll King until we have the tablet," said the Baron to the others.  Even the wizard nodded his head in agreement since it was now not just finding a truant student, but possibly the future of the realms.
Picture
"I had promised Hungry that I would not use my crystal ball unnecessarily to spy on him but this is an emergency," said the wizard as he turned from the others to start gazing through his crystal ball to locate the missing Wish Dragon.

​"In the meantime, we need to get the others to help us too to find him," Hewy told the Baron and Fiddlefaddle. While the Baron and Fiddlefaddle were nodding their heads in agreement, Hewy continued "I will find Hungry's other teachers, you two need to find the Spites or Meen, which ever one you can find first."

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...
Picture
Picture
"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."  
Picture
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...
Picture
"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.  
Picture
"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... 
Picture
Picture
"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.

Singing in the chaos...

​"A Wish Dragon?  Hungry here is a Wish Dragon and I am his Spite?" growled The CAT.  "And there is some prophecy?  Is that what you were singing Hewy?"  Hewy nodded his head to the surprised feline.  "Okay, so I can understand this right... could you sing the prophecy again Hewy?"  The troll slowly started his melody again with the first part of the prophecy.
Picture
​"When the last of the Wish Dragyns are lost
and is starving for knowledge at any cost;
will choices be made by many
that will bring the Realms to despair or to plenty. "
Picture
"Now wait a minute.  Sorry to interrupt but I am trying to figure this out," cut in The CAT.  "If Hungry is the last of the Wish Dragons and he has been lost for this whole time... sounds like to me that he would certainly be starving.  Also sounds like he might be in need of a teacher too.  Okay, please continue."
Hewy then continued his song.
Picture
​"Which way will it sway and who will triumph none yet can foretell
but for good to win the evil must not prevail;
for if evil wins forever magic will be changed or lost
and the Realms will suffer at the cost."
Picture
"Whoooh!" said The CAT.  "That sure sounds like the wizard here.  He almost prevailed with trying to get his wish.  Not that I am saying you are evil, mister wizard, as I don't know you that well.  But it sounded like to me that the wish you were asking for could have changed things not only here in this Realm but where you were from too."
Dewin, hung his head and nodded.  "I hadn't really thought about what my wish could do.  I was just angry and wanted to go back to where I had come from.  Now I can see that maybe fate put me here for a reason," answered the wizard slightly raising his eyes to look at Hungry.
Excited, Hewy sang the next line of the prophecy.  "For in the telling of this tale a musician must play' - that sounds like me," exclaimed Hewy getting caught up in the solving of the prophecy.  "But who would be the - 'as the dryad who has forsaken it's way'?"  
Picture
Picture
Parsley raised her hand and told the others that it could possibly mean her.  "I left the ways of the Tree Mothers to become the herbalist I am today.  Though I don't see why that would make a difference?"
​"The troll will mend what was once broken, " Hewy continued.  "Apparently that is me also as I am the only Troll here.  The sole thing I had broken was my heart when the love of my life left, but that was healed when I saw Awena again.  This last line still confuses me though," said Hewy as he sang the next part.
​"As they both must gain the Dragyn 's token."
Excited about how the prophecy was coming together, Hungry pipped in, "That is easy.  A Dragon's token is his trust.  Nothing is more important to a Dragon than knowing who to trust."   
As the others thought about what Hungry had just said, Hewy wrapped up the prophecy by singing the last stanza.
Picture
Picture
"​​For if this does not happen another will sway
the young mind which will drift away;
and from the lack of knowledge will the choice then be
for the Dragyn will  grant the destructive plea."
Picture
Silently everyone gathered around the little Wish Dragon.  Dewin was the first to speak.  "I am sorry for misleading you Hungry.  I just wanted to go home, not realizing that maybe I am already there."  After that, everyone agreed that Hungry needed to learn more about the powers of the Wish Dragon.  It was decided that Hewy and Parsley, having gained the Dragon's trust, would be responsible for starting those lessons.  The CAT was happy he was also going to be returning to familiar surroundings, as he now had to have lessons too apparently as the Dragon's Spite.​
​Sprout was thrilled to hear that Hungry was going to be heading home with him as her heard his mother tell the Wish Dragon that she would be his teacher.  Until Parsley added, “and you will not be alone for Sprout will take classes with you.”  “WHAT?” exclaimed the startled Dryad.
Picture
So now that the little Dragon was found, and the prophecy seemed to have been fulfilled, everyone decided they could all return to their homes.  Of course a stop by the Sugar Plum Bakery on their way didn't sound to bad too.  "I wonder where Nemmer is?" thought Cornelius as they started to leave.  As luck would have it, Nemmer had forgotten all about getting to The Wishing Well (he had bumped into some Dusty Mytes who had sprayed him out of habit with the forgetful dust) and too was on his way home.
It was only The Wishing Well who noticed after everyone had left Snoop rushing from the bushes he had been hiding in to hurry back to the Bellwether to get out the scoop of his career.  A Dragon had returned to the Realms!!!

When is a good wish bad???

6/9/2021

​“Hungry, if you are this prophecy Dragon, then all you have to do is not do evil,” Dewin told the young Wish Dragon.

​​“You mean that if I tell myself that I am not going to do anything evil, then evil can’t win?” eagerly asked Hungry.  “I can do that!”
​Before Dewin could continue though, the least likely member of the group replied to the Dragon. 
“I am afraid it doesn't work that way.  I have tried but no matter how much I try to do something, it somehow always seems to not come out the exact way I pictured it to be,” answered The CAT.  “Look Hungry, bad things can happen even when trying to do good.”
Dewin had his own plan here and being interrupted by this CAT wasn't helping it, but before he could stop The CAT, another spoke first.
​“You're his Spite!” Sprigg’n exclaimed excitedly at The CAT.  “I wasn’t sure at first, but after listening to you speak, the feelings we experienced when we first met, and now meeting Hungry, I realize that you ARE his Spite. That is Good... I think."
“What do you mean 'his Spite'?” Hungry and The CAT, both being surprised and confused, replied together.  Now everyone was listening for Sprigg'n's answer, even the Wizard.  Since Sprigg'n still hadn't answered, Dewin asked again,  "What do you mean?  How is The CAT the Wish Dragon's Spite?  You told me before that Spites only appear with a Wish Dragon and a wish."
​Shaking her head at the wizard, Sprigg’n finally answered.  “Hungry and The CAT were both born at the same time.  Hungry must have been from a wish that was answered, and don’t ask me how it was answered or by whom cause I don’t know.  But, The CAT is Hungry’s Spite, take it from me.”
​“But what does that mean?” pleaded the Dragon.  “Will he help me make the right choices so that evil won't reign?”
​At that comment, everyone but Dewin (who did not know The CAT as well as the others did) started to laugh.  After wiping the tears from her eyes, Efem answered the confused little Dragon.  “I am sorry to have laughed Hungry, but The CAT is not known for his helping others nor making, as you said it, ‘the right choices’ very often.  He actually is a handful of mischief on most of his good days and a lot more on his bad ones.”  Quickly she added, with a more serious tone, “but today he has surprised me with his answer to you.  He is correct that bad things happen even with the best intentions and that each of us must understand that we are ultimately responsible for our own actions, be they good or bad,” as she reached down to give The CAT a hug.
Picture
Picture
Seeing that the conversation was not going where he had hoped, Dewin spoke.  "Hungry, as a Wish Dragon, you have the power to create things for good just as easily as evil.  Let us say hmmm... that you maybe granted me a wish to send me back to my world.  I was transported here without my consent many years ago and want to go home."
​“That is terrible!  I know I would not like that either.  You should be allowed to go back,” Hungry replied.  Smiling, the wizard thought his plan just might work after all.  “All you have to do is wish me back,” he urged the Wish Dragon on.
​Before Hungry could grant the wish though, Hewy jumping in with a loud "NO!" which distracted everyone.  "Is that why you have been looking for this Dragon, Wizard?" Hewy stared at Dewin.  But before he could answer, Hewy turned to the little Dragon and said "Hungry, before returning Dewin to his own land think about what could be the downside of his wish.  It could just as easily be that he will loose all the magic he has accumulated while here or that his life may end. The magic here has kept him alive for far longer than he normally would have lived in his own realm.”
​Dumbfounded, the Wizard realized he had never thought of that!  “Hewy, you may be right.  By breaking the original spell, I could revert to the same state I was in when I was transported here.”  Glancing at Sprigg’n, Dewin realized that the Spite was looking directly at him and slightly nodding her head.  “You knew?” he asked her.
​With all of these realizations, Hungry was now even more worried about who and what he was.  “Now I REALLY don’t want to be a Wish Dragon!”…

The Dragon is Hungry!

Before Hungry had a chance to even put the last cookie in his mouth, Sprout piped in, ​“Hey... What choices Hewy, are you talking about to be made? And what about that part about despair or plenty? Is that plenty of food?  How can Hungry be the cause of any despair?  He’s my friend… he wouldn’t hurt anyone,” as Sprout turned toward his Dragon friend. 
Picture
Picture

​Parsley smiled at her son as she answered his question. 
 “Sprout, listen to the next two parts of the prophecy as it helps explains part of the mystery.  Certain things need to happen and then Hungry will have to make a choice.  It will be that choice which Hungry makes that will could cause either plenty or despair.  Hungry may not even know what will happen because of his decision.  It may be something that will happened in the future or immediately.  We won’t know until it happens.”
​“What things, Mom?” asked the young Dryad.
“Hewy is well known in the Realms as a master musician.  He has already played out the first part by singing us the prophecy.  Though I don’t know for sure about the Dryad who has forsaken its way, and I am also not sure about what Hewy has to mend let alone what the Dragon’s token is,” she told Sprout.  “Maybe the others might have figured it out as I haven’t,” she said as she looked at the others to see if anyone did have the answers.
​“But Mom, what happens if the rest of the prophecy doesn't happen?  Does it mean that Hungry is not the Dragon?”  Now that question took Parsley by surprise.  “Does it?” she thought.
​Before the others could say anything, Hewy again spoke.  “I have been thinking about that too and it sounds like Hungry is more than just hungry for food but also for knowledge.   Maybe it is who will teach him the power of the Wishing that will cause the evil?”
Picture
Hearing this, the young Wish Dragon suddenly realized that if he could grant wishes, his first wish was to be anywhere else.  Bowing his head, he quietly told the others that he did not want to be a Wish Dragon anymore.
​“Hungry, I am sorry, but it doesn’t work that way,” Cornelia replied.  “You are what you are, but remember, it's your intention that will make the difference.  Your intentions  and maybe the help of your friends.  Do you intend to harm the realms?” she asked.
​“No!  No, I love it here.  I don’t want anything to happen to anyone here.  I don’t wish harm to Scarlet nor the Nytemares, or Acorn, or Meen, or any of the others I have made friends with.  What should I do?” Hungry inquired – now not really asking just Cornelia but the entire group.
Dewin seeing his chance spoke up as he approached the young Dragon.  “Hungry, you don’t know me.  I am a wizard.  My name is Dewin and maybe I can help you.  I have been thinking about the prophecy a lot since Passporte’ told me about it and I think I know what you should do…”

Is the Prophecy coming true?

​Sometimes being a troll has it's advantages, especially a troll with the ability to create music.  As the rest of the group continued arguing about what and why each were there at The Wishing Well, Hewy began to sing.  Very softly at first, but soon, as the words continued to form in his mind, he started singing louder and louder until finally the others noticed.  The arguing slowly ended as each realized that the others too had stopped and were now listening to the troll.

​​When the last of the Wish Dragyns are lost
and is starving for knowledge at any cost;
will choices be made by many
that will bring the Realms to despair or to plenty.
Which way will it sway and who will triumph none yet can foretell
but for good to win the evil must not prevail;
for if evil wins forever magic will be changed or lost
and the Realms will suffer at the cost.
​
For in the telling of this tale a musician must play
as the dryad who has forsaken it's way;
the troll will mend what was once broken
as they both must gain the Dragyn 's token.
​​For if this does not happen another will sway
the young mind which will drift away;
and from the lack of knowledge will the choice then be
for the Dragyn will  grant the destructive plea.
Picture
When Hewy was finished and the others silently trying to figure out the song, he spoke.  "Hungry, I am glad to meet you.  What you just heard was a prophecy from long ago told to me by Awena of the Sleeping Sisters.  We think it is about you and the choices you must make for the Realms."
Picture


​"What do you mean?" asked the young Wish Dragon.  "What does this 'prophecy' as you called it, have to do with me?"

​​As Hewy started to repeat each of the stanzas to the prophecy for Hungry, the others moved closer as they too wanted to hear it again.  All of them failed to notice, so focused were they on the Troll, Dewin slowly edging closer to the Wish Dragon while summoning his magic.  Just as he was ready to release his incantation, Sprigg'n bumped him and interrupted the casting of the spell.
Picture
​"What are you doing interrupting me like that?" growled the angry wizard glaring at the Spite.  Sprigg'n wasn't backing down and said, "You will not hinder the Dragon's decision. This day has been foretold since the day you came to the Realms and why I was born.  You will have your chance to convince Hungry of your desires, but not with the magic you seek to change." 
Surprised to hear such determination from the Spite, the spell vanished from his mind.  "Since the Spite has gotten her own name, she should have added "pain" to the middle of it," thought the Wizard.  He continued to mutter, "Now I am going to have to convince the Dragon to grant my wish by using my other plan." Turning back to the others, Dewin realized that Hewy was just finishing repeating the prophecy and was starting to answer Hungry's questions.  No one had noticed.
"So you think that I am the Wish Dragon in the story, err... I mean prophecy?  But how can that be if this was written long before I was born?" asked the confused Dragon.  "If I am, what am I supposed to do and who are the others mentioned?  Don't they have to be here also?"

Before Hewy could answer, Efem decided it was time for her to speak out.  "Hungry, you are the last of the Wish Dragons.  As a matter of fact, you are the last Dragon in all of the Realms that we can find.  The others have all disappeared and have not returned.  That is why we think you are the Dragon of the prophecy."  While listening to the Tree Mother, Hungry absent mindedly started eating one of the sweets that he and The CAT had picked up on the way to The Wishing Well.
​Efem, noticing his snacking, smiled as she continued, "and the hungry part, besides being also your name, may also apply to you as I watch you eating every morsel left in your take-away bag from the Sugar Plum Bakery."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed a Dragon could blush," thought Hewy as he watched Hungry quickly put the last remaining cookie back into the bag he had been carrying.

The Magic Begins... or "Well, well... What do we have here?"

You know, I wasn't always a wishing well.  I was built many, many, many years ago to offer water to the old woman who used to live by me.  Then those four silly girls came around one day and started dancing around me.  At one point they started throwing in little trinkets and making wishes.  The problem is when you believe in something hard enough, it can take on a life of it's own.  That is how I came into being  The Wishing Well.
Now I am caught up in this silly drama waiting for my part to play as well.  Oh, I have choices, don't get me wrong.  It is not like I 'have' to do something.  By one of my little acts, things could change the outcome.  But would it just delay the same results or create another whole new problem?  I decided a long time ago, to just go with the flow (that's a well joke if you missed it).  So, I might as well see who has already arrived and who is coming since I can feel their energy as they approach.  
Yep, there is that guy who likes to hide behind bushes,  I think I heard his name once.  It was something like "Snoop" or "Scoop".  He has been camping here since yesterday and thinks no one is hearing him as he mutters to himself about finding the Scoop of the Century.  Little does he know I have been listening to his babbling (another one of those well jokes - come'on and keep up).
​Oh yes, I can now feel the gentle breezes that flow (get it?) when the Tree Mothers approach.  Dryads have such a soothing healing energy that I do enjoy when they visit, though they don't come as often as they did when I was younger.
Picture
Efem was my favorite Tree Mother as I did enjoy her inner light.  I see that Cornelia and Parsley still like to spar with each other, that certainly hasn't changed it seems.  But who is that young energy around the Troll?  I haven't met him before though I can feel a connection through him to the Tree Mothers. Hmm... that is interesting.  Now the Troll certainly is a different vibration.  Usually they are so slow and stagnate (think water... come'on these are funny), but this Troll has a different beat around him.  I do believe he is going to have an important part in the prophecy if now is the time for it to happen.
Picture
Wow!  That is a power I have not felt in eons!  It seems that the time has come after all.  A Wish Dragon has returned.  He is what must have started this whole hullabo.  His energy is so strong that I barely feel The CAT with him.  I wonder if he knows what it really means to be a Spite to a Wish Dragon.  If the others thought The CAT was a nuance before, they haven't seen anything yet if my guess is right.
With almost everyone here, its fun to watch the others circling around me.  Each looking at the others and wondering what the other wants with the young Dragon.
Ahhh... now we all come together... for here is the wizard and the Spite who I gave my mirror too approaching like a tidal wave hitting the beach (okay... if you missed that one you really don't have a sense of humor and maybe aren't well --[wishing well that is - sorry just had to throw in one more]).
As Dewin, the Wizard, and Sprigg'n approach The Wishing Well, they are surprised to see so many others there.  "Where did they all come from?" the wizard whispered to the Spite.  "I thought we were only going to meet the Dragon."  Before Sprigg'n could answer, Hungry noticed them walking down the trail and the first thing his eyes latched onto was what Sprigg'n was carrying.  "You have MY PILLOW!" roared the Dragon.

Sprigg'n finds Dewin...

​Sprigg'n had a mission.  Smiling to herself she knew she needed to find the Wizard and sooner than later.  This could mean some big changes ahead if there were now two Spites in the Woods. 

​In the meantime  Dewin managed to send Passporte' off in a different direction so he could continue his search for the Wish Dragon without further interruptions.
​As he gazed into his crystal ball he again wondered where the Spite had vanished off to.  "Since a Dragon is involved, I wonder if it has anything to do with Spite's disappearance?" he idly thought. 
Picture
​Dewin mumbled as he remembered about that day long ago when he first met the Spite.  As impossible as it may seem, at the same time Sprigg'n was also thinking about that fateful day.
​After that  infamous wish was granted and the village was transported, Dewin saw the Spite following him as he left the village...​
"Go away and quit following me," Dewin growled at the Spite.  The Spite just ignored him.  Finally Dewin turned around and faced the Spite.  "Who are you and why are you following me?" he demanded of the Spite.  After just staring at Dewin for a minute, the Spite finally answered.  "I am here because of you.  You are part of the wish and the Flames of Magic have welded us together." 
Picture
"What does that mean... Flames of Magic?" Dewin asked.
"When a Dragon egg is hatched, the stones that make up the nest are magically changed into crystals by magic.  Each new crystal absorbs the loose magic released from the hatching.  That is why both the Fae and Outies search for the crystals."
"What does that have to do with you following me?" asked Dewin.  Inspite of himself, Dewin was interested in what the answer might be.  "Well?"
"You must be really thick headed," answered the Spite, "and I thought you were a wizard.  Because you were practicing magic at the time of the wish by a Wish Dragon the Flames of Magic has joined us all together.  Where you go, I now go until the wish is changed or broken."
"A wish can be broken?" Dewin uttered in surprise.  "How can that happen?"
Spite only looked at Dewin as she shook her head from side to side, "Wizards," was all she would mutter.
As long ago when the conversation took place, Dewin could still remember the look of disgust on the Spite's face...
Suddenly the Spite appeared on the trail in front of Dewin.  "I have found him," she told the Wizard.
Picture
"Found who, Spite?" asked Dewin.
"First off, my name is Sprigg'n.  Sprigg'n Mac-talla.  Don't call me 'Spite' anymore.  Secondly, I have found the Wish Dragon that you have been searching for."  From the look of surprise on Dewin's face, Sprigg'n smiled knowing that the wizard was just starting to realize that maybe the Spite was a little smarter than he thought.  "Yes, I also know why you want him but it is his decision to make."
"Again, the Spite... No..." Dewin thought, "Sprigg'n... was full of surprises.  So where do we find the Wish Dragon?" he asked.

"Let's go make a Wish," answered Sprigg'n as she turned back down the path heading to the Wishing Well.
