The Tree...

As the group approached the Tree and Monacle, Arnie noticed that while the others were watching the Dragon laying next to the Tree -- her "finder's" attention was pulled more towards the Tree.  Yes, the Dragon looked ancient, but the giant tree looked even more so!  "I have never seen a tree like it before," thought Arnie.  "The only one that looks even close to it was the great Oak Tree near the Sleeping Sisters."  Arnie was soon to find out that her comparison was more accurate than she knew...
As Dree approached the other Dragon, he realized that he would have to be the one to start this conversation as this majestic Dragon appeared to be sleeping with it's great tail wrapped around the base of the Tree.  "Greetings Clansman.  May we have a moment of your time?" he asked.
A smile appeared on the large Moon Dragon, and slowly he opened his eyes and stared at each of his visitors one by one as he answered.  "Welcome Drai’ochtluan, or may I call you Dree?  And it is always nice to see you too, House Mother Meerher.  I see that you have a new Moonie with you too.  E'luminosity isn't it?  I have never met a Borrower turned Finder before Arnie, but I can see that your new profession suites you  well.  I have been waiting for your arrivals and would enjoy this opportunity to meet all of you for we have much to discuss and decisions to be made." 
After the initial shock of hearing her name, Arnie then realized that she never saw the Monacle speak but she knew that she had heard him plainly!  It was then that the ancient Moon Dragon laughed. This time she saw him talking.  "I am sorry Arnie, it has been long since I have had visitors that I have to remind myself that not everything uses mind-speak.  Does this way make you feel more comfortable?"
Nodding her head, the Dragon continued as he now looked at Dree.  "Welcome Clansman.  I have greeted the others, but I sense that you have something of mine that I would also like to say hello to.  May I see her?" ​
At first Dree was confused of who the ancient Dragon was referring to.  It was then the voice said "Master?" that only Dree and the Monacle could hear.  That made Dree realize who and what the ancient Dragon was referring to.  "Master, huh?"  Dree opened the small pouch that he carried and showed the Oracle to the Monacle.  "Greetings Oracle.  It has been a long time," said the Monacle for all to hear.
Picture
"Master!  Is that you?" the Oracle excitely and slightly confused asked.  "How can there be two of you?" 
Again, the Monacle laughed.  "There is only one of me but there are now two Moon Dragons.  I made you to answer to a Moon Dragon, Oracle.  Something I did not think about then, but it appears to have worked out for the better this way."  As Dree offered to return the Oracle to it's rightful owner, the Monacle shook his head and refused.  "You and Arnie will be needing it soon" was all he would say. 
For a while all of them sat around the Tree as the Monacle told Dree and the others his story of how he had came there and what he had been doing all of this time.  As they listened, it was Arnie who noticed something about the Tree.
It began with her noticing that some small branches were leafless and in some cases dry and brittle.  "The Tree is going to die!" realized Arnie.  It was when this thought came to her that she also realized that the Monacle had quit talking and was looking directly at her.
​"Yes, Arnie.  The Tree is dying as I begin to fade.  It must have a guardian to help protect it or the ills of all of the realms will overwhelm it.  That was why I came here those many years ago to become the Monacle to keep magic in the realms."
Picture
"Without the Tree, magic will wither and no longer be what it once was and is.  The Tree has given me a longer life than what is normal for a Dragon.  It has also given me the opportunity to gather great knowledge and see into each of the many realms.  Since the day I left the Oracle behind and told her to record what has happened in my absence, I have never regretted my decision to stay and guard the Tree." 
"But don't you get lonely?" asked Arnie?  "A Borrower is usually a loner, but we don't usually sit by ourselves in the middle of nowhere under a tree."  Again, the Dragon smiled.  "The Moonies visit me often as they are my helpers.  They assist with maintaining the balance in the realms.  The magic that the Tree freely gives also flows through me. Because of that I am able to travel everywhere in the realms to watch over things and still stay here to be the Guardian.  But I am not omnificent. I can only see what occurs where I mind-travel, and I can make some small changes here and there  just like our friend, Dree for an example." 
This made everyone turn to look first at Dree and then back to the Monacle.  "I once loved a powerful Moon Dragon before I left the Realm of Wymsy to be here.  She was a white crystal Moon Dragon who has since faded but before she left, a single Dragon egg was produced and hidden in a cave to one day be hatched.  She also left a single tear for that Dragonet as it would someday need." 
Picture
​"You Dree are that hatchling.  It was not long ago I found the egg and picked a young Fae to discover you as well as sent a Brownie to look over you."
The flash of anger that appeared over Dree's face surprised Arnie.  She had never seen Dree mad and she hoped never to see it again.  It scared her!  With a growl in his voice Dree spoke to the Monacle.  "Are you saying that everything that has happened to me and my friends has been because of you!"
As the Monacle shook it's head, sadly it answered.  "No, I only could start your path, each of us must make our paths.  What you and the others have done has been your own choices.  I only gave you the opportunity as I have watched over you.  As a Moon Dragon, something I learned a long time ago is that Sunlight may banish the Darkness away, but Moonlight is the Light in the Darkness.  You needed the opportunity to become what you are for soon you will  be the only Moon Dragon left as I am fading away."

A time to...

As Meerher was opening a portal to take Ellie and Dree to the other Moon Dragon, Dree was watching everyone enjoying their 'holiday' meal together.  "They all seem to be celebrating," Dree thought.  It certainly was a time for those who were freed from the World of Whispers  to be thankful of those who had given of their food without hesitation to these strangers. 
​Fae sat with Trolls laughing and telling stories.  Even the Wysps were invited to join in with the others as all were taking in the celebration.  "They probably won't even notice I am gone," Dree smiled as he turned to enter the portal with the Moonies.
Not everyone was unaware though.  Arnie had been watching Dree for a while as she had noticed that he seemed to be 'off somewhere else' since he had first created the portal for the others to escape from the World of Whispers.  "Now that I am a Finder instead of a Borrower," she thought, "This looks like the right time to keep an eye on my friend.  He's looking for something," and with that thought and smile, she followed him.
​She was right!  Dree was looking for something and now was the time to visit with the other Moon Dragon.  Maybe, just maybe, he would finally find his Dragon family.  Dree knew he had 'family' here in Wysmy.  The others in the village and beyond had all taken him in. They all had helped him grow up and for that he would be forever thankful. But sometimes he wished to know what had happened to his parents and if he had any brothers or sisters.  And that is truly a sad thing thought the young Moon Dragon when a Wish Dragon can't even create his own wish.   The Oracle had told him that the Outies had something like 'Genie-all-a-gee' which helped them to know their ancestors.  The way the Oracle explained it, it still involved a lot of guesses to who were your relatives were too.
Dree wasn't too worried about guesses as Dragons live for a very long time and if one relative was found, it would not be hard to talk to that one directly.  That was what was on Dree's mind when he stepped through the portal.  Both he and the Moonies were so busy that they did not notice Arnie stepping through the portal immediately after they did!
"If I had one of these, the temptation would still be there to stay a Borrower," thought Arnie as she realized that she was now in a new place.  "It would have made borrowing so much easier."  She quickly saw that she needed to be careful still though as she did not want to be sent back.  Arnie still knew that she needed to keep an eye on Dree for some reason and she had learned a long time ago to trust her feelings for they had kept her out of trouble many times.
Picture
"It's not far from here," Arnie heard Meerher tell Dree.  "The Monacle will probably even know you are coming."  This surprised Dree.  "How would that be?" he asked.  "The Monacle watches over the Tree.  The Tree is the provider of magic in the realms and without it, all magic would disappear.  Your magical spoon is from the tree.  That is another way magic can be focused and directed.  Wizards like to make wands from branches of the tree when the tree decides to provide them which is rare."  Meerher was quiet for a moment as she realized to herself, "I guess that is why there aren't that many wizards now that I think about it."
Picture
The small group continued on the trail surrounded by trees and bushes and started up a hill.  Arnie was thankful for the many things to hide behind as she followed, occasionally overhearing Dree asking questions about the other Moon Dragon with Meerher's answers.  "Why didn't you make the portal directly to the Moon Dragon?" she heard Dree ask.  She could not completely hear Meerher's answer but it had something to do with not being able to create a safe portal next to the powers of the Tree.  "That's something to store away but it won't help me now," Arnie thought.
​Now Arnie was proud of her skills at being stealthy when she was a Borrower, but Arnie had never borrowed from a Dragon before and did not know how sensitive their hearing and sense of smell were.  Dree had known that she had followed him through the portal and that she was following behind them now.  Finally when he decided that the Moonies would not be able to send her back Dree stopped and turned towards where Arnie was hiding.  "Arnie, you can come out now and join us," he said to the surprised Finder.  "Come up here so you can be introduced properly as my friend."

Meerher had found Ellie standing by the Blue Shimmer Punch bowl.  "Ellie put your listening ears to work as I go talk to the  young moon dragon," she told her.  Ellie turned her head to face Meerher with a puzzled look on her face.  "We are going to take him directly to the Tree," the House Mother told the young student.  "I do not want him to know our great need yet.  I am only going to tell him that he will meet the other Moon Dragon. So be careful in what you say around  him." 
​Ellie nodded her head to agree thinking to herself, "I hope I don't say something I shouldn't."  She then started to stroll around the outside circle of people, listening and watching.
As Ellie watched the others that were talking to the lost ones who had come through the portal from the World of Whispers, Meerher slowly had been working her way over to the young Moon Dragon.  As she moved closer to Dree she took the opportunity to grab a small plate of some Granny Flare's treats along the way.
"Dree, do you have a few minutes?" Meerher asked holding the plate up as to offer him a snack.  Looking up to see who was asking, Dree saw it was Meerher and answered.  "Of course.  I want to thank you again for the help with the spoon.  Do you need it back now?" he asked as he took one of the sprinkled unicorn dusted cookies that sparkled at him with temptation from her plate.
"Oh no," she laughed.  "The spoon is yours.  Gifts from the Bag of Possibilities are not returned.  They are to be used by the one who needs them.  You may need it still, who knows."  Dree again thanked her and then asked, "What did you want to talk about?"
Picture
The Moonie House Mother knew that she going to have to be careful on how she answered that question.  After a short breath, she said, "Dree, would you like to meet the other Moon Dragon clan member?  I know that you are busy and all, but I can take you to him if you would like."
Oh, this had been something he had been thinking about ever since he found out that there was another Moon Dragon.  Even more so now that he found out that other Moon Dragon was still alive!  But could he leave now? Should he stay and help the lost ones find their homes?  These were all the things he had been pondering.  It was like Meerher was reading his mind.  "Dree, while the others are still sorting out everyone, which that will take some time, you could go see the Monacle by using a portal.  It would just be a short trip" Meerher continued. 
Dree had been in his own thoughts and had been half listening until she said 'the Monacle'.  "What did you call him?" he asked Meerher.  "That is what we call Tun'Gul.  He is the Monacle to the Tree," Meerher answered. "That is where the magical spoon you used came from," she continued. 
Looking at the spoon he still held for a few seconds and then out over the picnic area, he made his decision.  "I will go with you but I have something to take care of first.  Wait here and I should be back shortly," Dree said decisively.  Meerher replied to him not to hurry as she had to find E'luminosity who was somewhere in the crowd helping the others.  Nodding his head, the Dragon than turned and started out to one of the small groups where the other Dragons were gathered.  He wanted to see Siate' and Aralt before he left to make sure there would be no mischief while he was away!
Picture
As the Moon Dragon approached, it was Aralt who announced to the other Dragons that were around of Dree's approach.  "Hail, here approaches the Moon Dragon Drai’ochtluan."  Dree was a bit surprised when all of them, including Siate', gave a slight bow of recognition.  "The others accept my powers," Dree realized.  "They have accepted me as one of their own."
Before Dree could say anything though, it was Siate' who started the conversation.
"Drai’ochtluan, I and the Dragon Herald were discussing with the other dragons about a trip we will be taking to find more of our kind.  Someone needs to help them on their return to our ancestral home here in the Realm of Wymsy.  Do you bless such an undertaking?"  Knowing down deep inside that there was probably more to this 'trip' than Dree knew, he decided that it was the perfect way to make sure the two of them did not stir up any trouble for a while at least.  "I think that is a great idea," he answered.  "Will the others go with you?"
Smiling her predatory smile (and making Dree even more convinced that she and Aralt were planning something), she told him that only the two of them would be going and as much as the picnic was very entertaining, they would be leaving right away.  "No sense letting things wait," she said as they walked towards a cave where a magical portal suddenly appeared and they stepped through.  After she left and the other Dragons were sure she was truly gone, they surrounded the Moon Dragon to welcome him.
Dree took all the good "slaps on the back" greetings good naturally as everyone was still hesitant to wish anything or anyone well just yet.  Dree knew that this might not be the perfect time to leave the Dragons but he thought to himself, "It's just a short trip... especially through a portal.  What could go wrong?"

It is amazing what can be done in a short amount of time when everyone is working together... everyone but the Wysps that is...
"I told you that we should have left him alone this time," one Wysp told the others.  "Now he is really mad!"  Really mad was an understatement, Aralt was furious!  His corolla was missing and after seeing so many Wysps around he finally figured out who had taken it.  "Today is not the day for this to happen," growled Aralt as he wanted to have his magical crown when he and Siate' met the young Dragon named Dree.  "My Emerald Dragon Stone will let me hear the mind-speaking of the Dragons, but without the corolla, I won't be able to nudge them to my desires."  This is how Drat found him.  
​"This will be easier than I thought," Drat realized as he watched both Aralt and the Wysps.  Slowly stalking behind the arguing group of Wysps, Drat whispered from behind them that maybe they should head for the free food at the SPICE cave nearby where Allspice and Nutmegg were preparing food and drink for the meeting.  
​None of the Wysps knew who said it, but the idea was one that they all could agree on as they left Aralt's cave and headed to the SPICE kitchen.  But as they all starting leaving, that was when Drat snuck up behind the Wysp holding the crown and whispered again.  "Let's take this ugly looking crown with us to the free food."  
Picture
​Aralt didn't hesitate to chase the Wysp holding his crown out of the cave and ended up following them towards the SPICE kitchen.  Smiling, Drat waited a minute before slowly following them all so he could be there to watch the excitement when Dree and the others arrived.
As the Wysps were being chased by Aralt, Nutmegg was setting up a small tent and some tables for the food that Allspice was bringing out from the kitchen in their cave.  "They should be getting here soon," thought Nutmegg as he finished with the tables.  As Nutmegg finished, Allspice stepped out of the cave with a box of food and said, "They should be here soon."  Nutmegg just smiled at his boss and shook his head in amusement.
Picture
It was then that the others started to arrive.  The Baron and Dowager with Sneefle and Fiddlefaddle who had packed snacks for everyone on a small cart with King Dulbbe and Queen Ffion creating quite the procession leading most of the others who followed them to the cave entrance.  Everyone offered to helped Allspice bring out the rest of the food he had prepared as well as several kegs of Ambrosia and Dragon's Brew.  Even Gardner the Gardener brought some treats in his wheelbarrow that he was pushing behind all the others. 
Soon it looked like it was going to be the biggest picnic that the Realm of Wymsy had ever seen.  Just about everyone was there!  Everyone but the Dragons...
As the Wysps, being followed by Aralt, appeared so did a very smug looking Drat.  It was then that the Dragon Queen, Siate', decided to make her grand entrance out of her cave too.  As she left her cave, other Dragons started to appear behind her.  Aralt decided that he needed to be there and vowed to get even with those irritating Wysps later as he went to stand by Siate's side as the Dragon Herald.  As more and more Dragons appeared from the other caves in the area, the Wysmy townspeople grew quiet and stared.   They had no idea that there were that many Dragons who had returned to the Realm.  Soon many of the Wysps started to ignore the free food and began mumbling to each other as they pointed at each new Dragon as it appeared.  It did not take long for Siate' to be standing at the head of the Dragons as if she was the queen of them all.  In her mind she was their Queen as soon as she could take care of this young Dragon Dree.  Hopefully today would be that day so the others would not challenge her authority over them since Dragons did not believe in royalty or governments for themselves.  Dragons were pragmatic though as they did respect power and intelligence.
Just as Siate's was becoming irritated, Aralt stepped up to her side. "Where is this young Dragon?" she asked him.  Aralt looking around quickly and replied "He is not here".  She had thought that Dree had already arrived when she had made herself known and now here she was waiting for him to appear.  "I will make him pay for this," grumbled Siate' as she tapped her long talons on a rock while she waited for Dree to arrive.
All of a sudden, a portal appeared in the middle of crowd and as everyone was moving away from it, out stepped Granny Flare, Meerher, Ellie, and Dree.  Almost as fast as the portal appeared, it was gone.  As Granny and the Luminary Council members headed towards where the Baron and Dowager stood, Dree turned and to face Siate' and her wrath. 
"It is about time you arrived," she said to Dree.  "Now it is time for you to answer a question that I have," Siate' said in a loud enough voice so that the other Dragons would hear.  "What clan are you?"  Dree smiled as he had anticipated her question. He was just surprised that she let her temper get ahead of her tact.
Picture
"Why, I was of the Wish Dragon clan as I told you before," answered Dree as he knew that would irritate her even more.  "I know that," she almost screamed.  "What clan are you with now?"  "Well," answered Dree, "I just recently found out there is one more member so I guess you could say it is a clan I suppose..." he paused watching Siate' getting madder at how he was making her look foolish, Dree continued.  "I am of the Moon Dragon clan."
Of all of the responses he could have said, this one made the entire Dragon community lift their heads and look at him now in a different way.  Before they all saw a young Dragon being impertinent to an elder, now they saw only something that many of them had heard about in legends and a legend for a Dragon was a very, very, very long time ago.
Now was the time for Dree to remove the threat of Siate' and Aralt.  "Dragons!  Townsfolk of Wymsy!  Hear me!  I am  Drai’ochtluan but most of you know me as Dree.  I am of the Moon Dragon clan and am here to show you the powers of my clan.  Recently a new Realm has appeared in the cosmos.  It is causing a disturbance in the balance and must be corrected before great and terrible events occur.  There are many from various realms trapped there without a way home.  This must be corrected and with this being the thinnest time of the year of the great veil that separates the realms,  it must be done now."   
This is where Siate' realized she could establish her power and quickly interrupted Dree.  "I have the power to make a portal to bring them over," she said making sure she spoke loud enough for all to hear.  This was the moment that Dree had been waiting for!  "As you cannot keep the portal open for very long, I thank you for your offer of assistance," spoke Dree, "but I intend to anchor this new realm called the World of Whispers to this realm so it can be now a part of the Realm of Wymsy." 
Dree's announcement caught Siate' off guard.  "No Dragon can do that," she growled.  Dree just smiled and thumbed the Brownie portal stone that he had been holding and started to open a portal.  ​
Picture
In his other claw, Dree held the wooden spoon that Meerher had given him from the Bag of Possibilities.  If ever there was a time to believe now was that time as the  young Dragon hoped this spoon truly had come from a magical branch of the Tree. Dree would soon know if it would be enough as he felt his power increasing more and more as he called upon the Tree to aid him.
As the portal opened, those surrounding Dree could see the others trapped in the other realm.  Soon a metal chain appeared to be floating and coming out of the portal and attached itself to a nearby boulder.  When the connection was secure, slowly those trapped on the other side started coming through the portal.  Quickly the Baron and Dowager greeted them and started to move them away from the opening.  As more and more appeared from the portal, Dree turned to Siate' and said, "thank you for your offer to help, but the portal will now stay open on it's own and the other realm is now permanently attached to this one.  The balance has been restored."
As Siate' started to open her mouth to say something, she realized that she had been beat and quickly closed it.  This young Dragon had beaten her and now she needed to figure out how best to salvage the situation.  Siate' had always been a Dragon of opportunity and now she was trying to create a new one... but what would it be?

It wasn't long after Ellie had her third piece of cake that the three of them left Granny's cottage and were now standing in the Baron's parlor.  "Nice little place," thought Meerher as she noticed Ellie wide eyed and looking like a tourist on her first trip.  Smiling, Meerher thought back to when she had been that young and everything was new and exciting. 
"Now it's more work that adventure," thought the House Mother.  For she knew that now with the greetings over that they had to get back to work.
"Ahem... I would like to thank all of you for your courtesy and friendly greetings, but there is little time and we must be starting on our mission.  Granny Flare has told us about a Moon Dragon.  Is he close by?" Meerher asked.  It was at that time Dree stepped through the doorway and into the room followed by a white rat.  "How young he looks," thought Meerher.
After Dree introduced himself and Drat, he asked the visitors why the were looking for him.  It was Ellie who spoke first.  "We need you to save some others on a realm that magically appeared and is throwing everything topsy-turvy," she told him speaking very fast.  It took Dree a couple of seconds to make out what Ellie had said and before he could answer it was Meerher who continued.
​"Dree, we of the Luminary Council monitor the realms to help keep the balance in our universe.  Recently a new realm appeared out of nowhere and is causing disruptions throughout the cosmos.  It seems to be Fate that we have come to find you as a Moon Dragon will be needed to heal the rift and ours is not available."
Immediately Dree's head jerked up at the mention of their Moon Dragon was not available.  "Your Moon Dragon... is his name Tun'Gul?" he asked.  Meerher paused to think before answering.  "We call him 'The Monacle' of the Tree as he has accepted the duty to guard the Tree."  Everyone in the room was stunned at these words!  There were two Moon Dragons!
Picture
Tun'Gul
Dree's greatest desire was to ask how he could meet the other Moon Dragon, but knew that he had another problem that had to be solved first.  "We are having a small 'Dragon' problem here of our own.  What is it that you are wanting from me?" Dree asked.
"Why nothing yet.  We are here to help you.  According to Granny Flare, your problem also involves this new realm that she called the World of Whispers," Meerher replied.  "We brought some tools that might help you in making contact to it.   It needs to be grounded to this realm as size doesn't matter but numbers do matter in the balance.  By connecting the new realm to this one, then we are back to an even number of realms and the balance is maintained," Meerher finished as she looked at those standing around her.            
Picture

Several of the others in the meeting thought that seemed a little one sided if only the number of realms counted but they were not going to argue now as everyone wanted to connect to the new realm and help the stranded ones return.  "How do you figure we do this," asked Dree when he realized that everyone else in the room was letting him make the decisions.  He saw the Dowager nod her head for him to continue.
"Granny told us about the Roses' in the other realm and that you were trying to make a portal link to it," Meerher replied.  "We hope these tools will help you make the link and connect the two realms together.  It will take a lot of your magic to make it happen as a job of this magnitude could not be done by any other magical creature.  Granny did mention something to us about your 'Dragon' problem and we may have an answer for that as well if you are interested," continued Meerher.
Dree was very much interested as well as everyone else in the meeting and soon a new plan was decided with everyone receiving an assigned task.  The old plan of getting the Dragons to belch no longer seemed necessary.  The SPIs of SPICE now had different instructions which quickly had Nutmegg and Allspice leaving the Baron's mansion.  They needed to make sure all of the Dragons that had returned with Siate' would be outside of their cave when Dree would appear.

​It was Drat's mission to make sure that Aralt was also there.  Meanwhile the others were to start the planning for the hopeful return of all of the ones that were stuck in the World of Whispers as they would be disorientated.  For once they arrived, they would realize that they were hungry since they had not eaten nor drank anything for a while in that strange white realm.
Dree, Granny Flare, and the two Illuminarys had some practicing to do with Granny's portal stone and the gifts that Meerher and Ellie had brought with them from the Bag of Possibilities.

As everyone else was doing their part to help in preparing for Dree's plan with the Dragons, Granny Flare was still a little skeptical.  "That Dragon is taking a pretty BIG chance and it seems that the others still haven't realized it yet," she grumbled to herself as she absently cleaned a small cookie crumb off one of the end tables in the Dowager's Tea Room.  Finally she could take it no more and decided to find him. "Someone needs to talk to him about his plan!  Using a portal stone is not too hard," again she mumbled to herself as she started to the caves, "but doing what 'he' is wanting to do hasn't been done".
Granny knew that Drat was out doing his part and most of the others were busy doing other things, so more than likely she would find Dree in his cave.  She was right.  Dree was sitting on his several pillows now since he had grown and reading a book.  "I hope it is telling him how to create what he wants," she thought as she made a slight noise so as not to surprise him.  She needn't have bothered as Dree was actually waiting for her to show up.  He knew what he was asking and also was waiting for her to bring a portal stone to him so he could examine it closer.  "Greetings Granny.  Thank you for coming to see me," Dree said as he turned his head towards her.
Granny just stood there staring at the Dragon.  What a change!  She had first seen him as a newly hatched fledgling telling everyone he was hungry to this powerful and confident Dragon.  Finally she smiled and said, "I was just thinking back to when I was trying to figure out what to feed you and now you are working on how to save all of us.  The world has changed."
Picture
Dree lowered his head as he blushed.  "I just want to do my part to protect my family," he replied.  After a few moments of silence, he lifted his head and looked her in the eyes.  "Will you help me with the portal?"  Shaking her head from side to side and rolling her eyes, she answered with a slight smile, "Why else would I be down here interrupting your reading?" she answered.
Soon Granny was showing him her portal stone and making sure that he remembered how they worked from their classes he had received while growing up.  "It was Lil' Boots story about how he helped that cat return to his home that gave me the idea," Dree told Granny.  "That and something the Oracle said about Tun'Gul, the only other Moon Dragon.  He was the discoverer of portals to other realms.  If that is a power of a Moon Dragon, then I am hoping that I also possess it."
"That's a big hope to base your entire plan on," Granny sternly told him.  "What if its not?"
Picture
"Then I will have to do something else to make the other Dragons accept me," he answered as he shrugged his shoulders.  "It's not like we have a lot of choices."  Granny had to agree so they continued examining and testing the portal stone she had.  After several hours of attempts and failures, Dree asked Granny if he would keep the stone for the night as he did a little more research about portals.  
​Brownies are very reluctant to part with their portals, but Granny knew how important this was.  "I will be back in the morning to hear what you find out" she told him as she left.  What Dree didn't tell her was that he thought he knew already how to make a portal without the stone -- but he did not want her in danger if it all went bad...

Dree's plan was to start with the SPICE agents.  Their ambrosia drink for the  plan to work, would require a huge 'Dragon belch'.  After the meeting, Nutmegg and Allspice immediately went back to their kitchen in the caves and began making a large brewing of the special ambrosia.  This batch would need to be at least 150% proof and fit only for a Wish Dragon to drink!  
While they were starting the brew, Drat began his part of the plan - being captured by Aralt!  As he stomped through the bushes around the cave that Siate' was in, he could not believe how hard getting captured was becoming.  "Either Aralt is going deaf or a Dragon's hearing is not as good as rumored," he told himself as again he made sure that he was being as loud as he could be short of hollering their names.  After a minute more, Drat finally did that.  "Aralt, are you out there somewhere?" he yelled.  Drat didn't know that Aralt was still in the caves by the Baron's Mansion looking for Dree, but Siate' heard the Troll King's minion.  Quickly she stuck her head out of the cave and invited Drat in to wait for the missing herald.  Drat trusted Dree and believed that the plan would work, but it still took a lot of courage for him to enter into a Dragon's cave by himself.  "Hopefully she is a vegetarian and only eats leafy green things," he told himself as he sat down in front of the self proclaimed Queen of the Wish Dragon. 
"Aralt is on a quick errand for me and should return shortly," Siate' said to Drat.  "While we are waiting, how about we pass the time in conversation?"
"Sure," replied Drat.  "What would you like to talk about?"
"Ahh, there are so many changes here since I had left.  Let's start with your friend, Drai’ochtluan formerly of the Wish Dragon Clan.  Do you know what he means when he says 'formerly'?"  Drat had been waiting for that question but did not expect it this quickly in the conversation (actually Drat thought of this meeting as an interrogation instead of a conversation), but answered as they had planned.  "Oh, Dree, I mean Drai'ochtluan, was the only Dragon here in the realms before you returned.  Since he was all alone, he did not think using the term 'clan' made any sense.  Now that there are more Dragons, he might start saying he is from a clan, but since he doesn't know what clans have come back, I guess he will have to choose one when his is ready." 
This answer did not make Siate' happy.  "A Dragon does not 'choose' a clan," she growled.  "A Dragon is born into a clan by what powers it possesses.  The Wish Dragon clan is the most powerful of all of the clans and the other lesser clans know this.  Either this young Dragon is a Wish Dragon or he is not."
Picture
Drat sat and stared at the mighty She-Dragon looking as to be thinking before finally speaking.  "So, if he is no longer a member of the Wish Dragon Clan, what would he be?  Is there another clan that he would join or is there another option that has only one member?"  This question made Siate' pause.  "What if..." she thought.  Finally she shook her head.  "No, he could not be," she told herself.  Looking down on Drat, she decided that this playing around must end as she was getting impatient to establish her leadership over the other Dragon's that had returned with her. 
"Can you have Dree and the other elders of the realm meet with me at sunrise in two days so that all of the Dragons can see this young Dragon and welcome him to his proper clan?" she smiled sweetly at Drat.  A smiling Dragon can be scarier than an angry one, but Drat only smiled back and asked her where they were to meet.
After discarding several locations by feigning that he did not know where they were, finally Drat offered to have Dree and the others meet Siate' at the cave where the SPICE agents had set up their kitchen.  This idea pleased the She-Dragon as it would be the perfect spot for her offer of a 'celebration' to welcome Dree back to his kin while at the same time establishing her rulership over him and the other Dragons.

As Dree and Drat's return to the Baron's Mansion, the Dowager Griselda noticed a change in the Moon-Wish Dragon as he entered the room.  "He is maturing," she told herself not wanting for this special Dragon to have to grow  up so fast just yet.  Soon everyone was gathered in the tea room.  
​Fiddlefaddle and Sneefle were busy serving everyone tea and treats when Griselda managed to get an unnoticed minute alone with Dree.  "I see that you have decided on something haven't you?" she asked.
Startled, Dree slightly blushed before looking directly into her eyes.  "Yes, I think I know what to do.  But am I ready for possibly the costs?" the Moon-Wish Dragon answered.  His reply caused the Dowager some surprise!  "What costs could he mean," she pondered as she watched Dree walk away to get his tea and a sweet.
If the Dowager thought her conversation went unnoticed, she must have forgotten that Drat was in the room.  Little escaped the Troll King minion's notice and his large ears made it much easier for him to hear conversations that others missed.  Quietly he slipped up to the Dowager and whispered, "He has a hard decision to make, so give him a little time here."  
Picture
​Nodding her head, she silently agreed with Drat as they parted and each went to their chairs.
Just like at every event and gathering, there is a moment when everything goes quiet or everyone is watching for someone else to re-start the conversation.  It is at that moment the room takes control and almost always it either turns into someone saying, "Oh, it's later than I thought" or "It must be time to be leaving."  It could even be "What did you think of that storm last night?"  This is a natural law no matter where one lives.  But this was not one one of those moment as something else happened.  Dree stood up from his chair (and his favorite pillow), sat down his drink and unfinished cookie on the nearby table and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.  Not that he needed to make much of sound for anyone in a room with a growing Dragon in it usually has their eyes on the Dragon anyhow.  
Picture
With one more clearing of his throat (or growl depending on who was listening), Dree began.  "I would like to let everyone know what I have decided concerning my kin, the Dragons, who are returning.  I know that so far we have only seen Siate' and have spoken to the Dragon Herald, Aralt, but I feel that the others dragons are nearby."  
"I have been to the Wishing Well and have retrieved the Nyte Shade's Heart and have heard the Wishing Well's tale of how the Nyte Shade Heart came to be in the Well.  I have also learned how the returning Dragons' magic has been tainted by their long departure from this realm.  This is what creates the mis-enchantments when a Wish Dragon grants a wish," Dree giving a nod to Allspice and Nutmegg, the SPICE agents.  Before continuing, Dree looked also at the others in the room and realized that he had their full attention.  They were waiting for him to continue.  Looking at King Dulbbe with Drat sitting next to him, then glancing over to Queen Ffion and Arnie, Dree continued.  "The Dragons need to stay in this realm if they are to heal the taint of their magic.  This can only be done through the exposure to the Nyte Shade's Heart.  This is the only way to cure the problem.  Either that or the Heart has to leave the Realm to be wherever the Dragons live.  It is my wish that if the Dragons stay, we must find a way for all to live together peacefully.  Though it has become apparent to me that peacefulness is not what Siate' and Aralt are looking for.  They are more interested in dominance." ​
Dree paused to see what reaction his speech was having over the others.  He noticed that everyone was either nodding in agreement to his observations or were waiting for him to finish.  Even Snoop, the Baron, and the Dowager were waiting for him to say his piece.  Taking in a long breath and slowly letting it out, Dree realized that these were his friends, they had become his family, and were with him.  "Hopefully they will still wish to be my family after they hear my plan," the Moon-Wish Dragon mumbled to himself. 
"This is what I propose we do..." started Dree.  When the Moon Dragon's plan was presented to the others, Dree stopped talking to see their reaction.  It was Drat who broke the silence first.  It took Dree a minute to realize that his friend was laughing hard and was trying to keep it bottled up inside.  It didn't work.  Soon more of the group were laughing and Dree started to get a little uncomfortable.  Before Dree could ask what was wrong, Drat spoke.  "I am just picturing the look on Siate and Aralt's faces if your plan works.  I love it!"
As Dree looked at each of the others, he again realized, "These people are my FAMILY".  Quickly everyone started talking and writing down all the ways to help make Dree's plan work knowing that they would need to start soon before Siate' did.  ​

Down a Deep Well???

As Aralt was dumping out the Wysp's that he had trapped in a bottle, Dree and Drat were wondering how to get a bucket clean... 
"I think we need to find a new bucket," said Drat after they had watched Aralt wash his feet in it.  "I wouldn't want to drink from it now."  Dree wrinkled his nose and agreed with his friend. 
Setting the bucket down on the ground, Dree looked away from Drat to the Wishing Well. ​ "We need to know about this Nyte Shade's Heart and if the Wishing Well can help us find it.  If Dragon's need it to keep our magic pure, then we need to know where it is.  It seems to be the only way to fix all of these mis-enchantments," Dree said.  "I have had several long talks with the Wishing Well but the Nyte Shades and this heart never were brought up.  I don't know if I have to specifically ask about them and even then if the Well will give us a truthful answer." 
Shrugging his shoulders, Drat just looked at his friend and finally said, "I don't know either how to get the Well to tell us.  I especially don't think you can trick it into saying something it doesn't want to reveal.  The real problem probably will be how to make our questions all rhyme for the proper Wishing Well magic."  Even with the seriousness of what they were doing, this comment made Dree break out laughing.  When he realized Drat wasn't amused, the Dragon after catching his breath, told him a little secret.  "The Wishing Well doesn't require a wish to rhyme.  
Picture
He likes knock-knock jokes and jingles. Sometimes when someone makes a wish, the rhymes help him think up new jingles.

​
Of all the secrets that Drat knew as the head of the Troll Kings secret police, this was something new.  "I must let King Dulbbe know about this," he thought as he watched the Dragon approach the Wishing Well.  "Wishing Well.  I have come to ask a favor.  Are you home?" asked Dree.
"Hello Dree.  Of course I am home.  Where else would I be?" answered the Well.  "I only asked to be 'well' mannered," answered the Dragon remembering the Wishing Well's sense of humor.  "Got me on that one," answered the Well.  "Water you waiting for, ask your favor."  Groaning to himself, Drat now realized where Dree got some of his puns from... 
"I am searching for a way to help the other Dragons who have returned.  Their magic is causing chaos and I was told that the Heart of the Nyte Shade could help heal this problem.  Can you tell me where it is?" Dree asked the Wishing Well.
Dree did not know how long the Wishing Well had been waiting for this question to be asked.  The heart was what had given the Well meaning and the Old Wishing Well had longed desired for the time when the Dragons drank from its water again.  Finally the Well answered, "Drai’ochtluan (using Dree's formal name), long have I waited for one such as you to ask this question.  Please lower the bucket into my water and you will find what you are seeking."
Picture
Not thinking about what the bucket had just been used for by Aralt, Dree and Drat quickly lowered the bucket into the Wishing Well and shortly they were told by the Well to raise it again.  When they lifted the bucket from the Well, the Nyte Shade's heart and the cage that held it were now in it.   
"Long ago this was hidden under the waterfall that flowed here by the First Dragon.  Long have I watched over it.  The magical love that flows from it makes the Dragons 'more' each time they come in contact with it.  I would see the Dragons become whole again!" said the Wishing Well.​
After thanking the Well and telling it that if it was possible they would return the Nyte Shade's heart as it had done a great job keeping it safe, Dree and Drat started back to the Baron's Mansion.  It was during that walk that Dree started to formulate his plan on how to help both the Dragons and the mis-enchanted.

Researching...

Passporte' knew  he needed to update his journal as there has been a lot of research and information he needed to jot down - especially regarding the Dragons.
With the Dragons returning that was reason enough to make a new journal entry, but with all the new developments such as the agents from SPICE, this new drink called 'Ambrosia', and the discovery of the World of Whispers, this was juicy gossip indeed!
When first opening his book of course it fell open to his favorite characters, the Brownies, that he has run across in his many travels.

No one could cook cookies like Granny Flare (nor keep a home clean).
Then Passporte' continued to turn the pages of his journal until he reached the section he had created about what he was learning about Dragons.

It was this last entry that he now placed in his book that gave him pause.
As he finished writing the last few words, he muttered to himself, "Yes, I need to do a lot more research regarding this Moon Dragon.  I am hearing the words whispered in the winds too often, especially in regard to this Aralt character also.  I think I will need to share a tankard of Tee-Hee Brew with him and see what he has to say.  As a Herald to Dragons, he might say something interesting.  Maybe this time I can out scoop Snoop and he will have to publish something I write on the cover of the Bellwether."
