"We need to find that cottage and I feel that it must be sooner than later," Hazelwyn thought to herself as she glanced towards the others. "How do I get Arnie to understand that?" As Hazelwyn pondered, a thought occurred to her from something Dree, the Monacle Dragon, had told her in private. "Arnie needs your support, but mostly needs to have someone to remind her that she is worthy. She has been looked down on all of her life as a Borrower but now she needs to become the Finder that she can be." "That's it!" she said a little louder than she intended as she realized the others looked at her and asked what's 'it'? Blushing slightly she turned towards Arnie and asked, "Are we going in the right direction?" The question threw Arnie, the Finder, off guard and she quickly responded "How would I know?"

As the House Mother looked around again, she started counting the new Moon Babies realizing that each represented a new fairy tale somewhere. When she finally lost count (after having to show two young Moonie acolytes how to properly hold a new baby), she started to wonder if there was a larger issue going on. "If this many new fairy tales are started, it may mean that something else has to appear to balance the magical scales," she mumbled to herself. It was then when she decided to act!
"Come with me to the library. We need to figure out what might happen to the balance of magic with all of these new Moon Babies being born. I can foresee that there is going to be some trouble coming our way soon if we don't do something about it." "I was just coming to see you too," answered Ellie. "Dree, oops, I mean the Monacle has asked for your presence as he too is concerned about the balance of magic being tipped. He says that there may be a solution but it depends on what Arnie and the others find out in their journey to find the Dreamweaver's cottage."

"The Sleeping Sisters' Library is huge and goes way back. Almost as far back as to the beginning of both of our Realms," Dulbbe continued. "I found how the Sleeping Sisters Council began which was interesting enough but also how it might intersect with your Nyte Shade history too."

"Where do I start," she mumbled quietly to herself so Hazelwyn and Roslie would not hear. "Wow! Look at that tree," Roslie said to the others as she pointed at it. Hazelwyn did not say anything as she took in the site of the magnificence tree. Arnie hardly looked as her mind was still elsewhere as she scanned the based of the tree looking for any signs of the Monacle. There he was - reading a scroll and talking to Ellie, the Moonie.
Arnie could not help herself from snickering and with a shake of her head from side-to-side thought, "Some things never change". Even Ellie smiled as she was the one who had just told the joke to Dree, the Monacle, after being told it from Drat (The Troll's King's minion) earlier in the day. After the finishing the joke (which brought out a few groans as usual - it was more a bad pun than a humorous joke), Dree looked again at Arnie and spoke. "Arnie, so you are now a Finder. Have no doubts. I can tell you this that the crystal did well in selecting you." With the surprised look on Arnie's face, the Monacle started to laugh. "No, I am not watching you all of the time," Dree chuckled. "Awena already sent a message ahead of your arrival to let me know of your coming and what you will need." As Arnie started to say something, Dree again spoke first. "Hey, I've got to look like I know all and see all... If you only could have seen the look on your face." Again the Dragon started to laugh and soon so were all of the others because a Dragon's laugh is so funny to watch, you just can't help but laugh with one.

"How do I do that?" she had asked herself a thousand times and still did not have a good answer. She thought that planting her feet in the dirt was not what the crystal had meant. Thinking about the crystal, she patted one of the many inside pockets of her cloak to just check to make sure it was still there. Arnie still could not believe that Awena had given it to her. "You may need it in your search and it has aligned to you now," the Sleeping Sister had told her. Realizing that she needed to ask someone, Arnie approached Awena and asked if she could have a minute alone. Awena gestured to a large bush away from the others and as they approached Arnie noticed a small bench which they could sit. After sitting, Arnie told Awena that the crystal told her that she needed to be grounded for the search to succeed but she did not know what that really meant. "I mean, the closest thing to grounding I know of is being in a cave under the ground," she said.
Almost before Awena had completed the question, Arnie blurted out that her doubts were about herself. "Why did the crystal pick me? I am a nobody!" Again Awena just smiled and shook her head from side-to-side. "No Arnie, if you were a nobody then you would not have been worthy of the crystal. I see a Borrower who has changed to a Finder. I see a person who has walked the path of being alone to now traveling with friends. I see someone who only thought for themself and now is concerned about others. Arnie, for you to be grounded, you must come to the realization that you are worthy of the choices you must make." Saying that, Awena stood and started back to the others who were waiting for the journey to begin.

The crystal did not move or change, but Arnie again heard the voice in her head. "I will only speak to you as you are the Finder. Do not question your worth. Your friends, all being good people, have their own abilities but they are not aligned with me. Only by you first being a Borrower, could you be a true Finder."
"Dreams can be dangerous without some grounding. Too many people have wandered in their dreams and have not returned back to the reality that is here. You must be grounded if you are to lead your friends and bring them all back. There is still a danger that one will be lost in the Dream world and will never return." This surprised Arnie so much that she blurted out loud her response. "What must I do?" Awena turned her head towards Arnie, thinking she was listening to their conversation, and told her not to worry that the Sisters would provide the food and supplies they would need for such a long journey in search of the cottage.

And its not about what Drat is doing for King Dulbbe... the conundrum that was happening elsewhere was just outside of a flower patch. Indeed it was the Flower Patch that was the problem... especially a flower patch of daisies. It wasn't because the bees visited the patch every day and it wasn't because the daisies was located next to someone who was allergic to them, it was because they tasted too good! At least to one fawn, that was the real problem. To read more about Faun's (the fawn), little problem - click here. The Realm of Wymsy is an original storyline by Shawn and Lesley Duthie.
"Its not like we are hiding anything. But I think if we tell them now what happened, they will want to go back to the Village on the Wall's library and see if we can repeat it again. I feel time is of the essence and we can't afford to waste any time in finding the Dreamweaver's hut." Roslie nodding her head in agreement thought about it for a second before turning her head and seeing Awena lifting off of the floor and floating to a different shelf than before. She quickly drifted back down and this time held a wooden chest in her hands.
Everyone turned to look at Arnie who looked confused and surprised both at the same time. "You must be mistaken. I am a Finder now, but my past of being a Borrower will count against me," she told the others as she shook her head. "No, I can't be a 'true seeker'." "Touch the stone and we will know," Awena told Arnie. Hesitant, Arnie reached out a hand and touched the stone. Instantly an image appeared in the stone of the Dream Weaver cottage that Hazelwyn and Roslie had seen in their vision. Awena turned to Hazelwyn and Roslie. "Is this the same cottage?" she asked. They did not know what to say other than 'yes' as they both embarrassingly blushed and as Arnie starred at the crystal while Dulbbe stood wondering what he had just missed...

Everyone turned toward the chaotic noise to discover the new Troll King holding several books in his hands, scrolls tucked under his arms, and a few aged tomes at his feet. Surprised by his unexpected appearance, Awena stepped over to the King and asked, "Your Highness, how can we help you?" "Oh please, dear lady, you can just call me Dulbbe as I am still a scribe at heart," replied the Troll King. With a gentle smile and a wave of her hand, Awena proceeded to cause the scrolls and books - both fallen and in his hands - to float to the nearby tables in the library where they organized themselves neatly. "Then Dulbbe, how can we help you?" Awena asked again. "I am here actually helping Arnie," Dulbbe replied. A surprised look appeared on everyone's face as they all turned to look at Arnie. "You are?" Arnie confusedly asked. "Yes, Arnie. Drat told me about the mission Dree gave you when he turned into the Monacle Dragon," Dulbbe replied. "Drat told me, like the loyal minnon that he is, on how you are to finish the last request of Dree's. That somehow the quest is tied in with a favor that is suppose to give the Gooblin King his greatest desire," Dulbbe continued. "Well, Drat is suppose to be helping me," said Arnie. "Not the king of the Trolls," said the exasperated Finder before she remembered whom she was talking to and quickly added "your majesty." "Yes, yes, I know that but I couldn't resist finding out what will be the Gooblin King's greatest desire," answered Dulbbe. "Plus I love the digging around in old books looking for clues as to what that desire might be. He has had so many while competing with the old Troll King. While I am researching, I have Drat checking out all the alleys and byways which is his specialty. Afterall, I was the king's scribe long before I became King myself."
Everyone watched Arnie as she then reached into one of her many pockets and pulled something out of it. "Which happens to be the spoon I have right here in my hand. Now the real question is, does all of this searching somehow relate to both quests?" The Realm of Wymsy is an original storyline by Shawn and Lesley Duthie.
So what is a Borrower? The Borrowers were tales you scared the children into behaving or heard about when people got together to share spooky stories. The Borrowers have always been able to go back and forth between the Shadows and the Villagers, but they also can go into the other "domain" where the Outies rule. Even with all of this traveling, few have ever really seen one. Oh, they were talked about and people know they are real, but what they look like was mostly a mystery. That was until Arnie showed up in the year of 2021 before the Great Moon Dragon appeared.
Now days Arnie can still be attracted to the bling, but it is helping her new found friends find missing things that really gives her a thrill. But how did this young Borrower also change the destiny of her clan?
