To Give Thanks...

Even with the concerns for the future with the Dragons returning, the fall harvest was still gathered and the traditional harvest meal was being prepared.  This is a time for the folk who live in the Realm of Wymsy to come together and share in the bounty that was available to them both from the magics of the realm and what they had spent the seasons cultivating.  
​What was special about this year's celebration was that the Baron and his mother, the dowager Griselda, were hosting the Harvest Event at the Baron's Mansion.
As the Baron was discussing the seating arrangements with Snoop since both were nobility in their own ways, the dowager was directing their servants Fiddlefaddle and Sneefle in their duties.  "Now don't forget, today you will be serving our guests more than you will be catering to my son's or my needs," she reminded them over and over again.   
Both of them just smiled as they were already well aware that they would have to keep an eye on the Baron and his mother.  Knowing that if they were happy with the event, then so would be the servants.  "Besides, after it is over I might even get a day off to put up my sore feet," thought Fiddlefaddle to himself.  ​

Meanwhile, Granny Flare was busy in the kitchens in the back of the mansion making sure that everything would be ready for the feast.  As she checked each item as it was prepared, Gardner was bringing in the fresh vegetables and fruit that he had grown specially for just this occasion.  "Here is the last of it," he told Granny as he set the heavy crate down on the kitchen floor.  "Is there anything else you need brought in?" he asked as he stood besides a large boiling pot and enjoying the wonderous aroma that it was making.  Granny just smiled as she gave him a couple of the hot pumpkin spice cookies that had just come out of an oven and shooed him outside as she told him to come back in a couple of hours.  "By then I will know if I need anything else," she told him.
Picture
"Being a king doesn't seem to give to many benefits," thought Dulbbe as he was busy scrubbing the dirty pots and pans. Then just as soon as he was finished with them, Granny Flare would send someone over to take them so she could start cooking something else.  That someone was usually Queen Ffion who the Troll King had a crush on... "Well, there are a few perks," he told himself as he kept scrubbing with a little smile.  
In the grand ballroom Efem, Cornelia, Parsley, and Nemmer were busy cleaning and setting up the decorations.  The dusty mytes were being extra careful (and under the watchful eye of Nemmer) to only suck in the dust as they cleaned instead of blowing any out.  "All we need is for them to make everyone forget today," Nemmer thought as he kept one eye on them while he was helping with the decorations. 
And finally, there were many more helping outside in preparing for the arrival of those who were invited.  Since everyone in the Realm was on the guest list except for the Wysps  (who would show up invited or not if whoever held the leadership stick felt like it), that meant that a lot of chairs, tables, and tenting was needing to be setup.  Dewin, the wizard, was using his magic to have the folding chairs unfold and stand up where he directed while Scarlet was watching over the Nytemares as they dragged in the tables and large tents.   
So, as all of those who live in the Realm of Wymsy prepare for this thanksgiving feast, we at MisPlace Dolls would like to thank all of you on this Thanksgiving Holiday as we come together to celebrate.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Archer's Paradox!!!

5/22/2024

"Archer's Paradox!" Nemmer thought to himself as he started running to the Baron's Mansion.  Archers think like that especially when it involves the phenomenon that occurs in archery when the arrow does not follow the intended path as it leaves the bow.  
What had just happened with Aralt was something that wasn't following true as he tried to put together the pieces of what he had just seen.  ​
​Aralt walking through a portal and disappearing was not that unusual in the Realm of Wymsy.  Granny Flare did it all of the time... and blue Wysps were as annoying and as numerous as mosquitos in a swamp... but something that he saw was still nagging at him.  "What is it that keeps bugging me," the hunter thought.  Then it struck him and he almost stopped running!  It was the way Aralt had entered the portal!
"The portal was already there and he did not cast the spell to open it," realized Nemmer.  "It's as if he knew what was on the other side."  Nemmer now knew he had to get to the Baron's Mansion as fast as he could.  "The Dowager was right," he thought.  "Aralt may be a bigger danger than even the Dragons returning."
​It did not seem soon enough for Nemmer, but shortly he was standing at the doors of the Mansion knocking and waiting for someone to let him in. After only a few seconds, Nemmer got impatient and started banging on them.  "Come on... Open up already!" he growled. 
Not long after he started kicking the door, Sneefle appeared.  As the man servant started to ask Nemmer to come in, the hunter squeezed by him before the door was even completely open and started down the hall.  "Which room is the Dowager and Baron in?" he yelled over his shoulder not waiting for an answer as he decided to check the sitting room first.   
Picture
His choice was rewarded as both the Baron and Griselda were there drinking tea as he entered unannounced.  "Sorry to interrupt, but I need to talk to both of you," he said as they saw him.  It was then that Nemmer saw that one other was in the room also.  It was Dree who was sitting on the floor with a pillow that he was adjusting to get more comfortable as he leaned against a wall.  "Should I leave?" asked the Dragon to his hosts.
"I think you should hear this Dree," answered Griselda as she stared at Nemmer, "as I have a feeling that what Nemmer has to say will probably involve you also."  Nemmer nodded his head affirmatively and then began telling the three what he had seen and his concerns.
When he had finished, both the Baron and Griselda gave each other a concerned look before saying anything.  "I agree with your assessment and what you have told us makes it even more clear to me," replied Griselda.  "The Herald has an agenda that I don't think is in our or Dree's best interest.  My guess is that the portal goes to where ever the Dragons currently are and he will shortly be bringing them through.  We must be ready." 
​With that, the Dowager took charge of the campaign soon to come.  Quickly she sent Sneefle, Fiddlefaddle, and Nemmer off to start alerting the others.  Everyone needed to meet at this mysterious new portal for they needed to all be there when the Dragons came through if it wasn't already too late.
Picture
Griselda then went to the window and called in her flutterby's to begin delivering a special message.

​"We need you now!  Meet us at this new portal as soon as you can.  Follow the flutterby and it will lead you there."

Lots to do...

Fiddlefaddle & Sneefle
The first thing the Dowager did when she and her son, the Baron, returned to the Mansion was to summons both their faithful servants Sneefle and the Baron's BAT man, Fiddlefaddle to the parlor.  "I will have several messages that will need to be sent out today," she told them.  "You will be using Parsley's Mushroom Line, the Dryad's Root Connection, Cornelia's Bee-Gs, my Flutterbys, and if you can get them to repeat the message without messing it up too much, even the Twitter Birds."
"But Dowager," answered Fiddlefaddle, "How will we summon so many?  I don't speak Bee-G and nobody but Parsley knows how the Mushroom Line communicates..."
Before he could continue Griselda cut him off.  "That is not your problem.  I will take care of that.  You will just need to give them the messages when they arrive.  Make sure that the right messenger gets the right message.  If I tell you that it has to go to a cave, make sure that the Root Connection make the delivery.  If the message is going to a mountain peak, then make sure the Twitter Birds get it.  I am sure that between the two of you, you will be able to figure out the best way to send the message.  Now I have to get busy writing messages. The Baron has his own tasks to do."  Knowing when they had been dismissed to get on with their work, both bowed and left the parlor.
"If the Dowager was writing the messages, what could be my task? thought the Baron.  Since just returning from the Council meeting, it struck the Baron that maybe someone should check on Dree.  As he brought the subject up to his mother, she realized that he was right.  No one had thought of how the one Dragon that was already in the Realm would feel if everyone else thought the Dragons' return was to be a dangerous situation.  Given the fact that Dree was a new Moon Dragon and unaware of the powers that he possessed, now would be a good time to make sure he was not upset or scared.  Upset or scared powerful Dragons could cause a few problems - especially when they are only partially trained.
As Griselda began writing messages Sneefle made the tea.  Fiddlefaddle,  after checking the windows and doors to see if any of the messengers had arrived, left to assist  the Baron like the good batman he was.  Together they took the stairs down to the tunnels under the Mansion.  The young Dragon had told him before he left the meeting that he was returning to his cave.  
Picture
For that the Baron was grateful.  "I have walked enough today without having to go searching for Hungry, oops, Dree, somewhere in the Shadows' Realm," he thought as he reached the bottom of the stairs.  Opening the door to the secret caverns below his mansion, he could tell that they had another visitor.  "Even the dirt on the floor is clean," he chuckled to himself about the house brownie.  "Granny Flare must have been here." 
Soon the Baron was in the chamber where Dree was sitting on a stack of pillows and reading a book.  At first the site of it surprised him, but after a moment, he started to chuckle.  "Why not?" he decided to himself.  "His teachers would be proud of how well the new Moon Dragon was applying himself to learning."
It was the chuckle that alerted Dree to the Baron's presence as he looked up from the book.  "Good day Baron.  Have you read this book yet?  It's fascinating!  It's all about Dragons.  Granny Flare left it for me to read." 
Deciding that it would be a good way to start the conversation he knew he would have to have with Dree, the Baron answered.  "No, I have never seen that one before. What can you tell me about your kin?"  Soon Dree was telling the Baron about the different types of Dragons and the things they could do... "Now, this one is a water Dragon and he can swim and use water to build things with.  Won't that be neat?  If I could do that I could make blocks of water with fish in them and then stack them up along that wall," as he pointed to a wall in the cave, "and watch them swim around without getting hurt." 
"It's funny that you said that," replied the Baron.  "Dree, you were at the Council meeting today and heard what the Dowager said.  Do you understand why we are all so concerned about the Dragons returning?"
The question made the young Dragon stare at the Baron for a minute.  Then he put the book down on one of the pillows and stared at the wall he had pointed to only minutes before, not saying a word.  After a short silence, Dree finally turned to look at the Baron and answered.  "Yes, I think I do.  You are afraid that with the return of the Dragons that whatever made them go away might happen again.  But maybe this time it will happen after something bad occurs.  You are here because you don't know what I will do now that I am a Moon Dragon."
As surprised to hear that the Dragon did understand his concerns, the Baron knew now was the time to ask his other question.  "What will you do?"
Again Dree did not answer immediately and after a longer pause than before, the Baron could barely hear his response, " I will keep all of my friends safe first!  But it looks like I might need to learn more about what it means to be a Dragon as well as a Moon Dragon." Dree then turned to pick up the book.  Looking at the Baron he asked, "Do you want to study with me?"

Where the heck is everybody???

​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...
