Dragonflyyies and Danger...

5/31/2023

It was Dulbbe who finally had to ask.  Being new to the royalty business, this excitement about a dragonfly was beyond him.  Sure, he had chased his share of them (and not to tell the others - he had even swatted a few of the more annoying ones), but why was a dragonfly important enough to call a council meeting.  He thought it had to be important as he never even read about it in the many scrolls he had researched.
"Dowager, I don't mean to be rude, but I don't know why a dragonfly is so important," he said when it was quiet again.  The Baron realized that he should say something as his mother seemed to sometimes think that everyone else should just 'understand' what was going on.
"Mother, I think that some of the youngsters in the room might not have heard about Dragonflyyies since many of them were not around Dragons very much (if at all) before they left.  Maybe you should tell them about the coming of the Village on the Wall and how it happened because of a Dragon," he told her.

"Maybe later, what's important is that they understand the importance of receiving a Dragonflyye," answered Griselda.  "What all of you must understand is that when the Dragons were here and plentiful, there were several of the Great Fae who helped the clans keep the peace between Dragons, Fae, and the Outies after the Great Age of Befuddlement.  Most of these Fae are now gone (who knows where... but we hope they are having a good time), but a few are still here in the Realms in case the peace is disturbed again."
As Griselda paused, it was Awena who now spoke.  "According to the ancient scrolls, the Great Fae used Dragonflyyies to send important messages to the Dragon clans.  These special Dragonflyyies were one of the few creatures that could speak both to Fae and Dragons.  Only the 'Outies' could not understand the messages they would deliver."
Nodding her head, the Dowager continued when Awena paused.  "That is correct.  As a member of the Wish Dragon clan I would routinely see the Dragonflyyies delivering messages to the clan elders.  I was so shocked to have one appear at the Mansion before leaving to this meeting that I almost forgot about the meeting."

"I was one of the those Dragons?  Right Awena? But now I am a Moon Dragon," asked Dree the newly transformed Dragon.  "Dowager, did they have a clan for Moon Dragons too?"  Before the Dowager could answer, Dree asked another question.  "Can I still be with the Wish Dragon clan too?"
​Unable to hold his patience any longer, Snoop, who could feel a terrific story coming but he still did not have enough to print in the Bellwether,  jumped up from his chair.
Snoop pointedly asked,  "What did the Dragonflyye say and who sent it!"  When he realized what he had just done, blushing from embarrassment, he quickly apologized to the council and sat down but not without having his pencil out and paper ready to write it all down.
"Before the interruption," Griselda glared at Snoop, who continued to shrink further into his chair, "I was about to say that the message was very short.  All it said was 'They are returning' and it was signed Aralt the Herald."
"Dowager, who is returning and who is Aralt?" Queen Ffion asked as she was just as confused as the others in the council chamber.
"That my dear, is a long tale that I need to tell all of you so everyone understands the dangers that are coming to the Realms.  It all began when Goodie4U appeared before me while I was enjoying my favorite tea..."

What is a Moon Dragon???

Hewy, the Troll
Still feeling that everything that had happened was his fault, the re-born Dragon quietly moved to the back of the receiving room while the others talked about who the new Troll King would be.  He thought that Hewy, being one of his friends, would have been a good choice and was happy for him when the new Queen asked him to be the acting Troll King.   But he wasn't surprised when Hewy refused and another was chosen, which again made it feel that it was his fault.
"Something always seems to happen to my friends and it's because of me," the Dragon sniffled.  "Even my Spite (The CAT) was taken," he cried silently to himself.  "I should leave but where would I go?" the Dragon was thinking just before the tingling came over him.  Just like Ffion, the tingling started in his claws but was soon spreading over his entire body.  "What is this?" he thought.  Was it something else that would take away another one of his friends?
Almost as soon as it started, the tingling stopped and the Dragon was himself again.  "I need to be going now before something else happens," he told himself and started for the doors.  He had only taken a couple of steps before he was blocked by the Goodie sisters.  They had been watching him as if they already knew that he was going to leave.  "Excuse me," he said as he tried to get around one of them to leave, but they kept finding some way to always be in front of him.
Before the Dragon realized it, the Goodies had turned him around and two of the sisters were holding his paws as they lead him to the Queen.   As Goodiegood curtsied before the new queen she addressed Ffion saying.  "Queen Ffion, I would like to present to you someone you will come to know quite well.  During the time in the crystal with your father, a special transformation occurred on this Dragon.  This was part of the recipe (prophecy) that the Shadows' King was aware would someday come to pass.  It was also why he guarded the Dragon tablet for so many years."

Goodiegood
Releasing the Dragon's paw, Goodie4U continued where her sister left off.  "The prophecy told of two outcomes.  One for good and the other for evil.  The sacrifice of magic from a Nyte Shade was what was required for the mixture (transformation) to be complete.  Your father offered himself when we thought it would be from you, but in doing so, he also gave both you and Hungry (his old self)  a great gift."
As Goodie4U paused, Goodie2shues continued.  "You and Hungry have been magically joined just as a dragon was when a Nyte Shade sacrificed her powers to her friend.  This is what created the first magical Dragon.  We were not sure at first if the ingredients would mix (the joining), but when we saw both of you a few minutes ago surrounded by the blue aura, we knew it had happened."
Before the Queen or the Newborn Dragon could ask what it all meant, Goodiegood again spoke.  "My Queen, as both you and the Dragon's powers grow you will both find that future events will need the two of you jelling together.   What those events will be, we cannot say," as she looked at both Ffion and the Dragon, " but you also both share the magical powers of the moonflowers."
Now they were even more confused than before!!!  "We really don't understand what you just said," started the Dragon, but before he could finish the sentence Ffion did. "What you are telling us is that we are magically joined?" finishing the sentence.  Startled, the Queen and the Dragon looked at each other.  As one started to speak, the other would either nod their head yes or no.  Each one knew what the other would say. ​

 As Ffion started to slightly blush, the Dragon quickly answered, "No!  I cannot read your mind.  I just know what you are going to say."  After another minute of staring at each other, finally they both started laughing.  "I think we will be good friends," said the Queen to the Dragon as they then hugged each other.
Realizing that another crisis was over, the Goodie sisters smiled at each other and started leaving to return to their cottage.  Before they could get to the door, this time the Dragon stopped them.  "Before you go, can you at least tell me what happened to me?  What am I?" he asked the sisters.
"Why you are one of the most powerful Dragons ever known.  Your transformation has changed you from being just a Wish Dragon but to a Moon Dragon," Goodiegood told him.  "As Hunter told you that if you ate the blue rose you would no longer be 'hungry'. He did not mean that you would not want to eat, he meant that you will change and become someone greater.  You are now Drai'ochtluan (pronounced - dree-ach-loo-am), the Magic Moon."
​"Cool!" replied the Dragon, "but I think I like to be just Dree to my friends", winking at the sisters and Ffion.
As the Goodie sisters left with some of the other guests, in walks the Baron with his faithful manservant, Fiddlefaddle.  Both were covered in travel dust and looked a little worse for wear, but still the gleam of adventure could be seen in the Baron's eyes.  Seeing his mother, the Dowager, he quickly walks up to her and stands by her as she is watching the Dragon and the Queen get to know each other.  "We couldn't find the Borrowers nor that darn Dragon tablet mother," he tells her.  "What did we miss?"  Smiling, she turns to him and says, "Once you get cleaned up I will tell you all about my new job."

The Politics Begin ...

"It feels like it all just happened," said Awena as she took a moment to collect herself.  The others that were with her in the Shadows' King's receiving room all nodded their head in agreement.  It was in fact now several hours after Hunter, The CAT, and Druzzy had disappeared through the magical portal.  At first everything was mass confusion right up to the point when Ffion, finally realizing that her father may be gone forever, fainted.  It was Dulbbe who carried her inside of the castle to the receiving room as everyone followed him.
​Gently he sat her on one of padded chairs to recover as Awena continued.  "The question is, what do we do now?"  It seemed that no one had an answer.
Finally it was the newly re-born Dragon who spoke.  "It's all my fault," he said with a tear in his eye.  "If it wasn't for me none of this would have happened."  
"Nonsense!  Now listen everyone... this was but one of two possible outcomes from the moment the Dragon tablet was found.  With what it foretold would happen long ago, I am glad for one that goodness prevailed," said Goodiegood.  "It could have gone either with a new beginning or a recipe for despair and the ending of the Realm.  We should rejoice that the Shadows' King gave us a new beginning!"
Realizing that the Goodie sister was right, the Dowager decided it was time to start that beginning.  "Goodiegood is right.  The proper time for mourning will come when we know for sure that those who entered the portal are truly gone." ​
"In the meantime, we have lots of work to do," she said as she started over to where Dulbbe was tending to the princess.  As she approached, she noticed that Ffion was getting a little of her color back and was looking at her. "Princess," began Griselda, "in your father's absence you are now the Queen of the Shadows' Realm.  I will stay for a while to assist you, but what are your commands?" she asked as she slowly curtsied before the new Queen.  Seeing this, the others in the room also bowed down (all except the Hir'aeth, the Gooblin King of course).
Picture
Both surprised and flustered, at first Ffion did not know what to say.  Seeing everyone bowing was a shock to her.  "This is an honor for my father, not me," she thought.  It is when she looked at Hir'aeth looking at her and seeing him nod his head is when she realized that she would have to make some decisions - she was  now the Queen of the Shadows' Realm!
Slowly raising from the chair, she started to speak but it came out more like a squeak.  After taking a breath and a few swallows (which also gave her another second to gather her thoughts) she began.  "I thank you all for your allegiance and your good wishes.  In the absence of the King, I will do my best to keep our Realm prospering.  My first acts are to make the Dowager Griselda one of my advisors and as my father had requested that Awena of the Sleeping Sisters be the royal tutor."
Deciding this would be the best time for him to act, the Gooblin King waited until the Princess (" I must remember she is the Queen now," thought Hir'aeth) had finished - he made his move.  "Queen Ffion.  With the absence of the Troll King, someone should take his place to guide his kingdom.  As the nearest monarch, I offer my services until his return."  
"Ah... the politics begins," muttered the Dowager.  As she was sitting near Ffion, it was only the new queen that heard her.  Being raised in a royal household, the new queen smiled to herself as she had learned quickly what to do from the many times of watching her father.
"Oh great King.  I thank you for the offer of your service, but another has already been selected to replace the Troll King.  A distant relative of Druzzy is already here in the room.  Hewy, I ask if you will be the acting Troll King until his return?" Ffion said as she looked at the startled troll.
Picture
This was something that Hewy knew he did not want to do... "I am a musician," he thought as he slowly rose to his feet deciding how to decline.  He knew that if the Gooblin King became the acting ruler of the Troll Kingdom, it would take more than a Dragon to dislodge him when it came time to select a new ruler if Druzzy did not return.  "Your majesty, I must respectfully decline as another more suited and is closer in relation to the absent King is also here."  Now this surprised everyone!  Who was he talking about?  It was the Dowager who figured it out first.
"It must be Dulbbe!" she whispered so that only the Queen would hear.  Shocked at hear this, Ffion turned to look at Dulbbe who was still bowing and looking at the floor.  "Dulbbe, is this true?" she asked.
"Yes my Queen.  It is.  I am the younger brother of King Druzzy," the troll answered, still not taking his eyes off of the floor.  "Your father knew but he told me when he made me the keeper of his accounts that it was because of my skills with numbers and not because of who I was.  That is why I told no one else.  Hewy, being a troll knew because he often would perform at the Troll King's events and would see me there with my brother."
This revelation surprised even the Gooblin King, but before he could speak again, the Queen asked her question now to Dulbbe.  "Will you be the acting Troll King until his return?"  Not wanting to let her down and only now partially realizing that as a King he might actually have a chance at winning her heart, Dulbbe finally looked up at her as he told her "Yes, I will do as you ask."
At this announcement the crowd began to stand and clap as Dulbbe walked to Hewy and shook his hand, while Hewy, being the only other troll in the group, bowed to his new sovereign.  "Ahh, the fun begins anew," smiled the Gooblin King wondering how this adversary will 'add up' (accountant humor).
It was during the clapping and applause that the new Queen noticed a feeling that she had not felt before.  It first started as a tingling at her fingers which soon was covering her whole body like the magic that flowed through her when she was at the Goodies cottage.  Soon the others in the room also saw the glow forming around her as the room became quiet.  As all eyes were looking at her, one set of eyes was watching another who was having the same issue.  "As the prophecy stated - forever joined by the sacrifice of magic will they be," smiled Goodie4U as the glow slowly disappeared around Queen Ffion and the new Moon Dragon.
