While Drat was giving his report to the King of the Trolls, Druzzy, about the tablet left behind by the Dragons, The CAT had been watching Hungry, the little Wish Dragon.  The CAT was overseeing Hungry and Sprigg'n as they were practicing magical displacements.  They were taking turns making leaves disappear from one bush and re-appearing on another.  
​It may sound easy, but a lot of concentration was required, even for a magical being especially when distracted by the flutterbys.

"Can't we take a break Sprigg'n?" asked Hungry.  "I am getting hungry and every time my stomach rumbles..." just then his stomach gave out another loud growl.  The CAT started laughing as Sprigg'n just shook her head from side-to-side.  "You had better let him eat otherwise you never know what kind of bush you will end up with," snickered The CAT.
"Okay, Okay.  Let's take a break," Sprigg'n told them.  As they ate, Hungry asked about his other friends and had anything new happened in the Realm.  As a student the little Dragon had very little time to visit with anyone who was not one of his teachers and most of them focused more on the lesson than on play or gossip.  That is, except for Sprigg'n.  
Picture
​The Spite had always liked to listen to the gossip of the twitter birds when she wasn't teasing Dewin, the Wizard, about something.  "It's not well known yet, but the twitter birds are twittering about some tablet that was found by the 'borrowers'," Sprigg'n  whispered to The CAT and Hungry as they leaned in towards her to hear better.  "Nobody has said what is on the tablet, but it is supposed to date back to before the Dragons left the Realms," Sprigg'n continued in a low voice as she didn't want to spread this juicy gossip too far around.
When Sprigg'n said the word 'Dragons', Hungry stopped eating and with longing in his eyes for more juicy news to feed on, asked the Spite.  "Who are the 'borrowers' and what's so special about a tablet?"  Before Sprigg'n could answer, The CAT jumped into telling Hungry about the 'borrowers'.
"We call them the 'borrowers' as few know their real name.  They are called 'borrowers' because that is what they do.  If they see something that interests them, they 'borrow' it.  They don't consider it stealing because either they leave something else behind or more likely they lose interest in the thing and usually return what they "borrowed" to where it was 'found'."  Before Sprigg'n could add what she knew, The CAT continued, "and this 'found' tablet was supposed to have been written by a Dragon!  It seems it was written before they all left and hidden away never to be seen again until you arrived."
"Do you think I will get to see the tablet?" asked Hungry.  The CAT and Sprigg'n looked at each other, shrugged, and continued to eat their lunch, but while Hungry was eating, his mind was still on the tablet.  "Maybe it can tell me something about why the Dragons left - leaving me behind," he thought.

Burnt Out...!!

Hewy needed to check on Hungry, the little Dragon, especially after being "asked" by the Troll King to find him. As he followed the trail to Cornelia's cottage, (since that is where Hungry was staying) his thoughts were concentrated on what had just happened at the Troll King's court.  "Why does the King really want to meet Hungry?" he pondered.  He knew that Druzzy was up to no good, but he just could not see what he wanted from the young Wish Dragon.  "I need to talk to the others," he mumbled deciding that was his best course and wondering what was causing this smoke in the air?  The smoke seemed to be coming from the direction of Cornelia's cottage!  He quickened his pace and after realizing that it WAS coming from the cottage he started running towards the smoke.
​Smoke was rolling out of the windows and the door. Fearing for his friends he was just about to run into the cottage when he saw Cornelia, Efem, The CAT, and Hungry all standing near the bee hives.  As usual, The CAT was just looking at everything and smiling, Efem and Cornelia were both coughing and wiping their watering eyes, and Hungry, if a Dragon can look apologetic and embarrassed, was wringing his front paws together saying that he was really, realllllly sorry.
Picture
"Is everyone okay?  Where's the water buckets and I will start trying to put the fire out!" asked Hewy as he started towards the well.
"Hewy, It's fine.  The fire is out," Efem was finally able to tell him after she had stopped coughing.  Cornelia grumbled, since Efem was coughing again, "We have found out that when Hungry gets excited, he spits a little fire and a lot, and I do mean a lot, of smoke."
It took Hewy a minute before he realized what was happening, then since everyone was okay, he started laughing.   This is when The CAT joined in as he also thought it was funny.  Knowing that he was Hungry's Spite, The CAT was enjoying both being fed by Cornelia and Efem as well as the entertainment of these Wish Dragon's lessons.  Hewy, soon realizing that both of the Dryads were not as amused as him, quickly stopped laughing but still could not take the smile from his lips.
"And to what do we owe this visit from you today?" growled Efem as she wiped the tears from her eyes.  "You are not scheduled to be Hungry's teacher for another couple of weeks."
Having almost forgotten his reason for the visit, Hewy quickly told them of his meeting with the King of the Trolls and his concerns.  "I agree Hewy, he is up to no good," answered Efem.  "The question is, what do we do?"
"I have been thinking about that and the best I can come up with is to send Hungry somewhere for a while so Druzzy won't be able to find him until we find out what he is wanting," answered Hewy.  "The problem is that I can't think of anyplace safe and where he won't be seen."
Picture
It was The CAT that came up with the answer.  "Well, since your places aren't fireproof," smiled The CAT, "Why not send him to Dewin's for his lessons a little early?  With the shabby way your homes are built, at least the cave won't burn down..."  With the withering stares he received from both Efem and Cornelia, for once The CAT did not finish his sentence.  Standing up and slinking away, Hewy could hear The CAT muttering something like, "sure, blame the cat..."
Now Dewin, being a wizard, had given the others each a crystal to communicate with him over long distances so they could keep in touch.  They decided that would be the best for Hungry and after the smoke cleared, went back inside of the cottage  where they told Dewin about their concerns and request.  Shortly Sprigg'n, the Spite that had attached herself to the wizard upon his arrival to the Realm, arrived and they (Hungry, The CAT, and Sprigg'n) were off to the safety of Dewin's cave.
As they left and Hewy watched them crest the first hill and disappear from sight, Hewy finally felt that Hungry would soon be safe... ahhh, but will he?  There seems to be others who also wish to see the Wish Dragon and not all of them from just curiosity.  "Now," wondered Hewy, "in the meantime where I am going to disappear until this blows over?"

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???

​“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

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

​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.
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.
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?"
Picture
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?"

5/5/2021

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.

And Sparks Fly...

4/6/2021

1 Comment

 
Picture
​As the electrical sparkles continued to grow, The CAT and Sprigg’n both could feel the energy building on their skins (or fur).  “What are you doing,” Sprigg’n demanded as she reached for The CAT.  The moment her hand touched him, the sparks really started to fly and the blast knocked them both backwards several feet.  After the shock wore off, both slowly picked themselves up and stared at each other, wondering how the other had done it.
​“Since I didn’t do that, what did you do?” asked Sprigg’n.
​“What did you do?  I didn’t do it,” responded The CAT.
​Both sat down and stared at each other for a minute but shortly realized that the energy was growing again.  Sprigg’n decided to test a theory by standing up and moving a little farther away from The CAT.  The electrical build-up started to dissipate.  “So, it is something about us being together,” thought the Spite.  “I wonder what it could be.”
​As The CAT was thinking things over, Sprigg’n realized something.  “You’re a SPITE!” she shouted as she jumped up.  A funny look appeared on The CAT’s face as her comment as sunk in.
​“How could I be a Spite?” asked The CAT.  “Spites only appear with a Wish Dragon and a wish.”
Picture
​“You mean like the one who is now here in the Realms?” answered Sprigg’n.  Now that thought had not gone through The CAT’s mind before.  He knew that he was only on his first of nine lives, so he was not real old yet and he could do things that other cats seemed unable to do.  Most of them couldn’t even talk let alone carry a good conversation.
​“I don’t know anything about being a Spite.  What should I do?” inquired The CAT.  For the first time in his life, he was confused and unsure of himself so it was a surprise that he was asking Sprigg’n for help.  “I am only asking for her help since she has been a Spite for a long time and should know more about it,” he rationalized to make himself feel better as he did not like owing anyone anything.  
​Sprigg’n sat back down and thought some more.  Finally, she answered The CAT.  “You should be able to feel the Wish Dragon to locate him.  You need to go to him to find out if you are his Spite.”
​“Now why would I want to let a Dragon eat me?” replied The CAT.  “No thanks!”
​“If you are his Spite, he won’t eat you!  You dumb cat!” growled Sprigg’n.  “He needs you as much as you will need him.  If anything happens to the Dragon – it will also happen to you!”
​Now, that was a thought The CAT did not like.  “Okay, I will find him, but what should we do after that?” he asked Sprigg’n.
​“I know a wizard who might be able to help.  Do you know where the Magical Well is?”  As The CAT nodded his head in the affirmative, Sprigg’n continued.  “Take him to there and we will meet you.”
Picture
​As Sprigg’n started to leave, she heard The CAT mutter, “You better be right about not being eaten…” before he too disappeared.  Neither had realized that they had been overheard by another…
​“Now that’s a scoop!” Snoop smiled as he hurried to get back to the newspaper.  He had a special edition to get out!

The CAT Meets Sprigg'n...

3/10/2021

0 Comments

 
As luck would have it, while Sprigg'n was asking "... I wonder who will find it [the Dragon] first?", elsewhere in the Shadows' Realm The CAT was sitting in a tree listening to the Twitter birds chat about the lost Wish Dragon.

"Who cares?" thought The CAT as this was The CAT's first of his nine-lives, and he was not in any hurry to be eaten by anything Dragon-like that would start him on life number two.  "Besides," he decided (just like every cat), "I will need all nine lives just to create the mischief I want to do... so many things to annoy and so little time."
Picture
Now, as everyone who has ever lived with a cat (you don't own a cat - you just live with it), that a cat has a mind of it's own.  Add a touch of magic, the ability to talk, and a cat attitude - things become even more interesting.  Especially with a cat that has a twisted sense of humor!
Picture
Soon the Twitter bird conversation started to turn boring.  It wasn't as fun anymore either to be watching Nemmer poking around in the bushes searching for the Dragon.  The CAT started thinking, "What more opportunities of fun could I  have if I was to find the Dragon myself?" 

It was then that he felt the magical pull... someone (or something) was scrying him.  "Who would be searching for me?" The CAT wondered.  "It's a good thing most don't know that this goes both ways - look at me and I can look at you," smiled The CAT.
​The CAT quickly sauntered (cats do not just walk anywhere) over to the Twitter birds' pond and summoned who could be calling him... ​

It was that wizard Dewin's Spite looking into a mirror.  "Why would she be searching for me?" The CAT pondered.  "I haven't bothered a Spite before..."  As he said this, he realized that this was something new and not boring!!!  Instantly he knew where the Spite was and that it was very close.  "Close enough for just a short magical spring" decided The CAT.
So, as Sprigg'n was deciding whether to search for The CAT or go and tell Dewin what she had discovered (both about the Wish Dragon and her new names), The CAT suddenly appeared sitting on the trail in front of her.  There was no 'POOF' of magic - just a smug looking cat smiling at the Spite like it was soon to be a meal.  "I have heard of you," Spite smiled back, "and your mischief.  What do you want from me?" 
At first The CAT only stared at the Spite, but then he felt it... The CAT's hair started to stand straight out like the time that Efem had rubbed his fur the wrong way and she got an electrical shock from him.  As The CAT felt his fur rising, Sprigg'n also started to feel a strange electrical tingle course over her skin.  It almost tickled in a way and she could tell that the energy was building!  "What are you doing to me?" she suspiciously asked The CAT but he only looked at her wondering the same thing as his hair started to sparkle.

A Zooming Mirror...

As Spite... no... as Sprigg'n sat on the pillow given to her by the Wishing Well, she wondered if maybe the Magic Mirror would be willing to help her again by telling what she should do next.  "Oh Magic Mirror in my hand, where next should I go in all of the land?"
The mirror started to glow again and shortly Sprigg'n heard the answer.  "First off, if you don't knock off the rhyming, I won't answer.  I got enough of that from the Wishing Well.  It was either that or an endless supply of 'knock, knock' jokes.  So stop it with the rhyming and no 'knock, knock' jokes!  Okay?"

"Oops.  Sorry - I forgot and I don't even know what a 'knock, knock' joke is," Sprigg'n replied.  "Lucky you," said the mirror.
​"Will you please help me?" begged Sprigg'n.
"Okay, If we have an understanding, I will.  Look deeply into the mirror for what is to be and you soon you will see... arggghhh!  Now you got me doing it!" growled the mirror. 
Picture
Quickly Sprigg'n focused all of her mind on the glowing mirror before it changed it's mind.  It started out with a blue glow but soon a picture appeared.  It was a Troll with a young Dryad boy walking in the woods.  "Too bad I can't hear what they are saying," said the Spite to herself.
"All you had to do is ask," replied the mirror.  Instantly the conversation between the Troll and Dryad came out of the mirror.

"I told you Sprout, the prophecy will require both a Troll and a Dryad.  Awena thinks that I am the Troll, but she did not tell me who she thinks the Dryad could be," said Hewy.
"Can you repeat that portion of the prophecy again Hewy?" asked Sprout.

"One more time only," answered the Troll.  "Here it is...
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.
"What does it mean by a Dryad who has forsaken it's way?  Could that be my mother since she has decided to work with the herbs instead of the trees?" Sprout asked.  "I don't know.  I am not even sure that the Troll is me," replied Hewy.  "To find out though will require us to find the Wish Dragon first."
Slowly the picture faded again and all that appeared in the magic mirror was a blue glow.  "A Wish Dragon huh?  I wonder who will find it first?"  Sprigg'n mused out loud.  Instantly a new image appeared in the mirror before she realized that the Magic Mirror thought she was asking another request.  It was The CAT!  Even Sprigg'n knew about The CAT.  "Now how was he involved?" she wondered, but this time she did not ask that question out loud because she was not sure she wanted to see what the mirror might show her...
