Where is Arnie???

3/1/2022

0 Comments

 
​As Arnie was heading to the hole by the old oak she had fallen into when she found the Dragon tablet, she was totally unaware that at that moment she was the most popular being in all of the realms.  Everyone (and every thing) was looking for the Borrower with the Dragon tablet.
Picture
​High above in the sky was the Gooblin King's mechanical birdseye viewer, Rave, searching the realms in search of any Borrower it could find and hoping it would lead him to the one holding the tablet.  The Troll King's minion, Drat, was also busy trying to talk to a Borrower - any Borrower - but they all seemed to have disappeared.  When normally they were trying to avoid Borrowers, now when they wanted one, there just wasn't any to be found.  
Even C.O.G. (Cooperation of Organized Grunts) had called a special meeting to see if anyone knew where a Borrower could be found.  It was all very frustrating and not just a few tempers were short...
​"Haven't you found any of them yet," grumbled Hunter at Meen.  "Are you telling me that they just up and vanished?  Usually we can't get rid of them as we try to keep them out of the good silverware.  Where did they go?  And you checked with your friends and none of them have seen a Borrower?"  Meen only shook her head from side-to-side and waited to see if the Shadows' King had other instructions for her...
Picture
And across the Realm, two more of the searchers were on a mission of their own. 

"Tell me again why you think the Sleeping Sisters will help us?  I mean, they usually don't get involved in any of the events of the realms.  Why this one?" asked the Baron as he and his mother, the Dowager Griselda, were walking to the Sleeping Sisters house.  "Also, I would like to know how you know where they live.  Hewey, Efem, and the others had to be lead there by a bird."
Picture
"There is a lot you don't know my son, so don't let it fret you.  Let's just say that the Sisters and I go back a long way and leave it at that," answered Griselda.  The Baron knew he would not get anything further when his mother decided it was none of his business so he decided on a different approach.  ​"I wonder if I can get my fortune told.  I heard they were great at predicting the future," he mumbled, knowing he was loud enough for her to hear.
Stopping in her tracks, the Dowager turned to face her son.  "They don't do that," she growled at him with irritation in her voice.  "The Sleeping Sisters have been guardians of the realms as long as I can remember and they know of many secrets and prophecies which they study and explore to keep all of us safe.  Now, if you would be quiet for a while as I think on how to approach them, it would be appreciated!"  Getting a nod from her son who decided it was best not to say another word for a while, they both started back down the trail.
While on another hillside overlooking the waterfall, something was watching Arnie as she stepped through the water and started exploring around the pool.  "How dare someone come into my garden," it thought.  "Something must be done about this..."

For little did it know or care that at that moment it was the only one who knew where the Borrower was ~ even though it didn't know it was a Borrower.  It just knew someone was in it's garden!

The Winter Solstice Party...

12/21/2021

0 Comments

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

Special Edition of the Bellwether

4/14/2021

Everyone is reading all about it!!!  Snoop got the scoop!  The truth behind the strange sightings in the Wandering Woods (or at least the foot prints and strange lights anyway) has been discovered. 
Picture



​Click here to read this Special Edition of the Bellwether
Several days ago Snoop volunteered to search out the Woods to discover the strange reports that had been coming in.  What he has discovered will change everything in the Realms and you are reading it here first!




​As Hewy and Sprout eat a quick snack at the Sugar Plum Bakery, the latest headlines catch the Troll's eye.  Quickly scanning the article he grabs the young dryad and heads for the door.  "We have somewhere to be," is all he tells Sprout.
Picture
Picture


Efem, Cornelia, and Parsley were all drinking tea while they waited to hear the latest reports from the Mushroom Line and Twitter birds when the special edition of the Bellwether arrived.  Instantly they all jumped to their feet and started for the door.  In their haste, Parsley did not even remember to leave a message for her son, Sprout.  "I am sure he will find something to eat on his own," she thought after the three of them had hurried down the trail.

​​Nemmer, finally giving up on finding The CAT let alone a Wish Dragon, was walking home to have dinner with his wife, Cornelia, not realizing that at that moment she was closer to finding the Wish Dragon than he was.  As he stooped in the doorway to pick up the newspaper that had just been delivered, he decided to quickly scan the headlines to catch-up on local events.  He never had a chance to turn to the next page as he dropped the paper, turned around, and headed back down the trail.
Picture
Picture




​As Fiddlefaddle delivered copies of the paper to both the Baron and Dowager with their tea, soon it would be known that their secret was out.  The Wish Dragon had been discovered!  “I hope Hungry will be alright,” thought Griselda, the Dowager, as she read the article.
​Taking a break from his many duties at the stable, Scarlet was spending a minute reading the latest edition of the Bellwether.  “Did you see this Meen?” asked the farrier to the jumping Pyksee.  Before Meen could answer he continued, “Your Dragon friend has been discovered to be lose in the Woods and will be making an appearance at the Magical Wishing Well out back behind the King’s Castle today.  Let’s go see how he’s been doing but first you should tell the Shadows' King.”
Picture
… and yes readers, we too will have a representative of the Bellwether on hand at the meeting to keep you informed as to what transpires at the Magical Wishing Well.

The Holiday Dash...

12/15/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
As sparkles glitter in the cold air with the crisp scent of Magic just slightly tickling her nose, Meen knows that it is almost that time again.  This is her favorite month of each year and she does love going all out to deck the halls.  Well, maybe not her halls, but the Shadow King does love seeing the finery around the palace too.  Normally Meen took her time decorating, but not this year.  She was in a rush.  The little Pyksee was excited and wanted to head on over to Granny Flare's cottage to find out more about this new Pee-C Granny just received.  The Twitter Birds have been chirping all day long about this new magic and it sounded like a lot of fun!
While Meen was hopping around the palace, Griselda was digging through the books in her library at the mansion.  The colorful glo-bug lights and decorated tree certainly were putting her in the mood to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book.  What better place to read the stories of old and enjoy a nice cup of tea?
She too had heard of this wonderful magical toy that Parsley and Granny Flare were playing with.  Maybe she would drop by and check it out herself later, but first that cup of tea.
​As the Dowager continued looking through some of her books, out dropped a letter from an old friend that lived in a magical place called the North Pole.  Now Griselda hadn't been able to stay in touch as much as she liked because the Twitter Birds didn't really like flying that north if they didn't have too.  Plus the Mushroom Line wasn't reliable for popping up when the ground was covered in snow and ice.  Somehow, they always seemed to get lost and always headed for warmer climates.
Picture
"Maybe there was something to this zooming stuff that the others were gossiping about," she thought.  Griselda gathered up her letter from Mrs. Claus with the Coffee Cake Muffin Recipe and decided that a visit to Parsley just might be the thing to do.  "Nothing like reaching out to friends far and near... or was that dear (*smiling*) for the holidays".

Where the heck is everybody???

6/30/2020

​For those of you who have been following Hungry (and for those of you who are new to the adventure), we thought it best to bring everyone up-to-date on where everyone in the Realm of Wymsy and the Shadows' Realm is at and what are they currently doing... 
To start off, we last saw Hewy, Parsley, Cornelia, Efem, and Sprout leaving Parsley's mushroom cottage together to meet with the Sleeping Sisters after receiving a Petal Post invitation.

Spirits were high as Hewy was hoping to see someone he had not heard from in many years and the others were excited as they had never been invited before to meet with the Sleeping Sisters. Even though they had received messages from them several times in the past, now they were being invited into the Hallow Chambers.  The only one who was not excited was Sprout - all he had hoped for was dinner.  I mean, how does one expect a growing teenager to survive without frequent meals?
Picture
Little do they all realize, but this unique meeting could shape the entire future of both the Realm of Wymsy and the Shadows' Realm. ​
Picture
Meanwhile, Nemmer, the Archer of the Elfshot Guild and Cornelia's husband, is off on a mission that Cornelia and Efem started him on.  He and The CAT were sent to find Hungry.  Currently he is somewhere in the forest continuing to follow the trail but where The CAT is, nobody knows.
Picture
While Nemmer (and who knows what The CAT is doing) is searching for Hungry, the inhabitants of The Baron's Mansion in the Realm of Wymsy are also wondering what has become of their dragon friend.  They had last seen him going off to play with Meen, the Pyksee.
Picture
The Baron wonders what has happen to him for he had been hoping for a new adventure. While Griselda, the Dowager, sees Hungry as a new hope for the future. Fiddlefaddle and Sneefle are there to serve and watch over these residents as  Fiddlefaddle is the Baron's BAT man and Sneefle is the Dowager's faithful  servant.
Picture
So where is Meen?  She is off on another mission for Hunter, the King of the Shadows' Realm.  Occasionally she is tasked by him to run messages since she likes to spend most of her time running and jumping (if not also playing practical jokes).  Normally, a tune is all that fills her head when she is jumping, but this time, she too is wondering where her friend was at and if she was going to maybe bump into him as she delivered her latest message.  
So, now that we know where everyone else is, where is the guest of honor?  He is currently somewhere in the forest searching for his lost pillow and trying to find his new friend, Sprout.  Hungry had first met Sprout outside of the Sugar Plum Bakery but lost him as they were traveling back to Sprout's home on the other side of the forest.  If only Sprout had known that the others were looking for his new friend, just maybe they might have found him sooner...

A Rash of Forgetfulness?

2/10/2019

0 Comments

 
Lately, there has been a rash of forgetfulness in the Shadows' Realm so much now that Nemmer was on-the-job.  “Now where could those Dusty Mytes be hiding?" Nemmer mutters to himself as he pokes his head through some bushes.  He is pondering this question so hard that he does not notice Meen running from mushroom to mushroom trying to sneak up on him from behind.
​”Whatcha doing Nemmer?” Meen asks as she jumps out from behind a giant mushroom and lands right in front of him.  ​
Picture
"​I spooked ya - didn't I?" Meen giggles.  Laughing so hard she had to wipe a tear from her eye.  "Whatcha looking for?"  As Meen started to take a breath so she could continue to ask more annoying unending questions, Nemmer quickly responds.  “Good day Meen.  Are you on an errand for the Shadows’ King or just out to play?”
Picture
​This question worked, as Meen closed her mouth and appeared to be thinking about something.  “Now that you mention it, I was supposed to do something… but I can’t remember what it is.  Isn’t that funny?  How can I do it if I don’t remember it. ”
​​“Sounds like you have been around a Dusty Myte," answers Nemmer.
"Now think hard… The Shadow King told you to do something… he normally sends you on errands to tell someone about something that’s important.  What is new and important that you can think of?”
​“I can’t think of anything new.  Let’s see, Hungry and I were playing and then we saw Scarlet.  Then the King found us and we saw the Nytemares and then Hunter sent Hungry to school…  I can’t think of anything important in all of that.  Sorry Nemmer, I can’t remember.”
​​“What does having to be hungry got to do with going to school?” asks Nemmer.
​“What are you talking about?  The King sent Hungry the baby Wish Dragon to school.”  Meen’s eyes suddenly light up, “I remember now!  I was to tell everyone that if they see a Dragon in the Shadows’ Realm that it is Hungry on his way to school.  Thanks Nemmer."  Jumping onto a mushroom, Meen starts to hop away.  "I got to get going and spread the word about Hungry."
Picture
"That little pykse left before I could ask where she has been," grumbles Nemmer.  "Probably forgot that too.  Drat... I will just have to keep looking for those pesky Dusty Mytes.  They could be anywhere... Imagine a wish dragon back in the kingdom, that is a sight I won't want to forget to see."

A Pyksee-lating Argument

6/28/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture

​​​. . . It all started out with me walking thru the forest and coming across two strange characters. 

​​I am not sure, but I think one was a Pyksee and maybe the other a Fairy.  The wings were my first clue.  They were arguing about something.
Picture
​​The blue one, the Pyksee (I think) was shouting that she had a "secret" and she wasn’t going to share it!  The other one with the wings kept telling the Pyksee she didn't have any secrets worth keeping... So there!  And the argument started.
Picture
While I hid behind a large mushroom observing, I almost felt like my friend, Snoop, the newspaper man.
​​Pretty soon the shouting was just so loud that I decided it was time to intervene.  As I approached them, I simply said they should not be arguing like this.  They both turned to stare at me as if I was a three-headed beast (which I have seen -- See Notes) and immediately they both shouted at the same time, "We were not arguing!"
​How quickly the Pyksee said for me not to pick on the Fairy... and the Fairy said for me to not pick on the Pyksee.  I tried to explain that I wasn't.  I was only trying to help them understand that yelling isn't the best way to talk.  Pretty soon they had me going around and around - leaping to defend each other and in the process confusing me.  I soon came to the conclusion that there is more than one way to be Pyksee-lated (to become confused, confounded and lost). I also realized that they were fast friends with strong opinions.
Picture
​​So, dear journal, a lesson learned - never, ever get into the middle of an argument between friends (especially if one is a Pyksee) because you will become Pyksee-lated even when they are not trying to.

Hidden in a message...

​"Terrific!  I got you back before Granny even knew you were gone.  Hungry, I am getting out of here before she shows up", whispered Meen.  "See you later, and you better stay inside or Granny will get annoyed and you know what that means.  No sweets!"

Hungry watched Meen as she scampered out of the cave.

​"No sweets?" But I like sweets," Hungry growled.
Picture
Picture
"Hungry!  Where have you been?  I have been looking high and low for you.  You know you aren't to leave this cave!  Do you want someone to see you?" Granny Flare shouts, pointing her finger at the little Dragon.  "Do you know what would happen if anyone saw you?"

"No, what would happen?" he asks.  "Would they feed me?"  Granny could tell, this was not going to be easy raising a baby Dragon.

​
​​Meanwhile, as the Baron was starting to settle down on a chair in the parlor, he thought he heard voices.  "What's this?  Hearing voices at my age?  I'm not that old!" he mumbled to himself.  "Now I am talking to myself... Fiddlefaddle, where are you?"
Picture
Picture

​​
The faithful batman was just finishing unlocking more doors when he heard his name called.  "Now what?" he thought, "I haven't even been able to put away the luggage."
​Entering the parlor, he sees the Baron sitting near the fireplace. 

"Fiddlefaddle, we need to check out the Mansion." says the Baron.  "I am hearing voices." 

Turning around to do as the Baron asked, Fiddlefaddle notices the letter on the mantle.  "It appears a message has been left for you."  Taking the message from the mantle, he hands it to the Baron as he reads the cover.  "It is from your granddaughter,  Dragonia."
Picture
Picture
​"I wonder what she has been doing?" thought the Baron.  Opening the letter, he starts to read.

Did you see the hidden message? --- Dragon below mansion in cave

Show me the way home...

"Okay, Hungry, you hide behind the tree here while I will go sit on this stump.  That way when a traveler comes along, better the chance I have to distract him and they won't see you" said Meen.  "Isn't this more fun then jumping the frogs down at the Pond?"
Picture
​About this time, the Baron started to appear around a bend in the trail and was heading right for them.  "Get down, now Hungry, don't let him see you," reminded Meen.
​Sitting there for someone to just wander by wasn't that exciting, thought Hungry.  Besides, he was starting to get hungry.
​As the Baron was now closer to the log, Meen decided it was time to leap out.  Meen jumps from the log and lands in front of the Baron, startled he jumps back and raises his cane in defense.  "What are you?  Or more like, who are you?" asks the Baron.  "You wouldn't be trying to get me lost now would you?"
"Are you asking for directions?" smiles Meen.  Whispering to Hungry, "Let's hope so, that way we can send him around in circles.  Otherwise this won't be as much fun". ​
​Suddenly, from out of the bushes there came a low growl.  "Be careful there, strange one, there is something behind that tree!" warns the Baron.

"Nah, that's just Hungry's stomach," Meen replies.

"Hungry?" the Baron repeats.

"Yeh, come on out Hungry, he heard you."  Out of the bushes steps the baby Dragon, turns to the Baron and Meen and growls, "I'm hungry... I am going home."
Picture
Picture
​​As the baby Dragon meanders down the trail, the Baron inquires of Meen where 'home'  might be?  "Oh, he lives in the caves under the Baron's Mansion.  I better go with him or Granny will be mad if he shows up by himself."  With a big smile on his face, the Baron watches as Meen and the baby Dragon meanders down the trail showing him the way home!

It's No Secret that I am Hungry!

​
​Nothing more that Meen loved than Spring!  To get out and play among the flowers and to see what has blossomed overnight always creates a happy, bubbling feeling inside.  

She also heard that down at the Frog Pond there was some new tadpoles being born. Sounds interesting enough to go check out.
​Another thing Meen loved was leaping the Toad.  So yeh, heading down to the Frog Pond sounded like a great idea.  Maybe she would take a shortcut by going past the Caves.  That way it would be only a skip, hop, and a jump to get to the Pond.
Picture
Picture
​As Meen was thinking of the fun she would have down at the pond, she heard this voice in her head saying " I want to play too!"  Now Meen was used to hearing voices because she was forever talking to herself, but this was a new and strange voice she had never heard before.  Plus, the closer she got to the caves the louder it seemed to get.
​Soon she was at the front of the caves and the voice was pretty insistent that she come inside, so she peered inside the dark and shadowy entrance, not sure what she was going to see.  Suddenly she was staring into two bright eyes!
Picture
​"Hello", said the baby dragon, "I'm Hungry!" 

Meen immediately stepped back and shouted "You aren't eating me!"

​"No", the dragon said, "That is my name, Hungry, and I would like to play with you.  Sounds like fun to go see baby frogs."

​​"What are you?  I haven't seen something like you ever!" shouted Meen. 
Picture
"What do you mean, what am I?  I am Hungry!" replied the little Dragon. 

"No, not how do you feel, but what are you?"  Exasperated, the little Dragon said again, "I am NOT Hungry! That is my name.  As far as what I am... I don't know other than a Secret.  My mother, Granny Flare, keeps telling me to be quiet cause I'm a Secret, but I want to play and the Frog Pond sounds like fun."
​By this time, Meen was exhausted trying to figure out her new friend and also wanted to go play.  "Yes!" said Meen, "Let's go to the Frog Pond.  Did you know that a group of baby tadpoles are called 'a knotty'?.  Sounds silly to me cause how could anyone be naughty when you are so little and haven't even had time to get into trouble."
​That was enough of a deep thought for the two of them; so off they went to the Frog Pond to go play with the tadpoles.
