Who is Aralt???

The sound of rocks rolling down the hill filled the sky and made the ground tremble.  Was it rocks or the grumbling of a not so happy Fae being woken up from the sleep he had descended into when the Dragons had left the Realm of Wymsy?
"Just when I finally was getting comfortable..." growled Aralt.  "I had to hear that blasted chime".  For yes, he heard the chime calling the Dragons home.  He had been enjoying his retirement living in his ancient grotto of standing stones, but that soon to be forgotten retirement had been experienced in a dream state.  
​He had traveled to that place between dreams and miracles to leave the politics of the world behind.  Once the Dragons had left, nothing had been the same.
Then he had heard that blasted chime for it not only called the Dragons home but woke him from his eternal sleep.  No placing a pillow over his head was going to block out that sound.  He knew why he was being called for he had been one of the Ancient Fae of the Council.  It was the Council who had been a part of creating the Wish Dragon Clan.  "Oh, Go Away!" he growled as he rolled over and tried to see if the pillow would work after all.
"Wasn't sending that Sleeping Sister a vision about the Dragons returning enough?" thought Aralt.  But no, he couldn't go back to sleep.  "I might as well pull myself together," mumbled the Fae.  For that perfect position in his bed kept alluding him and the rose petals he laid upon started to feel like their thorns were in the bed with him instead.  There would be no return to his slumber.
Picture
For as much as he tossed and turned to find that just perfect spot, he knew he was going to have no peace and quiet nor comfort.  ​​"That darn chime won't stop until I do.  I know I'll have to return as well," Aralt grumbled to himself.  It was time to start packing for this new adventure that the Magic was sucking him back into.
As he was packing his few belongings, it occurred to him.  "I wonder if that cantankerous old she-demon of a Wish Dragon is still in charge?"

The Baron looked at the book that Dree, the Moon Dragon, was holding out to him.  It looked very old indeed and did stir up some curiosity in him to learn more about Dragons.  "After all," the Baron thought to himself, "I wasn't an adventurer for nothing."  Smiling, he nodded to Dree to make room for him on the pillows so they could go through the book together.
Dree excitingly started reciting.  "See there are Fire Dragons, Water Dragons, Air Dragons, and even Crystal Dragons.  Wouldn't these all be like cousins to me?"  asked Dree.  The Baron nodded his head in agreement and further explained that these would be the Elemental Dragons as the Crystal Dragons would represent the Earth energy.  But then something started to tickle his mind.  What was he missing here?
Time continued on as the pair of them studied the book when they came to the section about Wish Dragons.  Dree was really excited about this part having been a former Wish Dragon before changing into a Moon Dragon.  "Look here," Dree pointed a spot in the book.  "Look how the Wish Dragons ruled the Elemental Dragons.  It says here that the Wish Dragons are the strongest Dragons of all.  They were the leaders of the Dragons,"  beamed Dree as he continued reading.  Now the tickle was growing more intense in the Baron's mind.
Picture
Dree when he was Hungry - the little Wish Dragon
As a gatherer and caretaker of many creatures small and large over his many years as an adventurer,  the Baron understood the ruling government of a pack.  There was always an alpha that was a leader.  Even if a lesser alpha choose to join with another alpha, there was always just one leader that ruled over all and often alone.
Here in the Realm Dree had been the last of the Wish Dragons before he transformed into a Moon Dragon. He was also the only Dragon since all of the others had left many many years ago.  The tickle that had been playing in the back of his mind was continuing to gnaw at him - would there be any Wish Dragons returning as well as the other Dragons?  Would there be an alpha among them that would assume it would still be alpha in returning to the Realm?  How would that affect Dree?  
All this thinking was starting to make the Baron's head hurt.  After talking to his mother, The Dowager, he now knew that a Moon Dragon was a rare and very strong magical Dragon.  Therefore, by rights, should be an alpha or leader over ALL of the Dragons including the Wish Dragons.  But Dree was young and untrained. 
Picture
The Baron knew that none of Dree's teachers or even himself had thought of Dree being put into that position and possible danger.  They also had thought that they had plenty of time to teach Dree.  That window of time now appeared to be slowly getting smaller and smaller the more the Baron was learning from this book.

Lots to do...

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

Home Sweet Home...

As Dree was walking to his old home what both Awena and the Dowager had told him before the council meeting  finally broke up was still nagging at him. "Why did it have to be Dragons?" he wondered to himself.  It was still on his mind when he reached the entrance to the caves below the Baron's Mansion.  "Home sweet home," sighed the Moon Dragon.  
Upon entering the maze of the caves he instinctively knew where to go.  Soon he was back to the spot where he was born, or more correctly, where his egg had opened.  "Sigh... those were better days," he thought.  "All I needed then was someone to feed me when I was hungry."  It was that thought what made him start laughing... realizing the play on words... "When I was Hungry," he chuckled.  Hungry was his name before he had transformed from a Wish Dragon into a Moon Dragon.  "I wonder what Acorn, Dragonia, and Granny Flare are up to?" Dree thought.
"I thought you would be here sooner," a voice was heard from a dark corner of the cavern.  Dree spun around to see where it was coming from and finally spotted the house Brownie.  It was Granny Flare and it appeared that she had already cleaned up the cave.  "I have done a little cleaning while waiting for you.  The Dusty Mytes helped a bit by vak-u-ming the dust from the floors (and walls and ceilings, in fact it was everywhere actually)," she told the Dragon.   
Picture
"I even brought a few extra pillows for you, compliments of the Dowager, since I had heard your old one was either lost or a little ragged from it's travels."
Dree was so happy to see Granny that he forgot that she was not a hugger as he lifted her from the floor to give her a big one.  At first she thought of magically popping out but realized that might make the young Dragon sadder than he appeared, so she let him hug her and set her back down on the floor.  "My... you have grown a little since I have last seen you," she told him.  Blushing slightly (as only a Dragon can blush), he just stood there and looked down at the floor bashfully.
"I really came to tell you that if you need me, follow that tunnel," as she pointed to one of the many branches of tunnels from where they stood.  "My place is at the end.  Knock on the cellar door and I will let you in.  I will also have your meals ready for you so come when you are hungry," she finished.  Again, Dree was so happy that as he was reaching to give her another hug, he remembered and stopped himself this time.  "Thank you," was all he could say.
Smiling, Granny walked up to the Dragon and gave him a hug (surprising Dree even more).  "That's alright Hungry.  Oops, I meant Dree.  I have to go but you know where to find me.  Welcome home," said Granny as she started down the tunnel to her place.
"Home," thought Dree.  "Yes, this is my home and I need to help the others in protecting it," the Dragon thought.  "I know so little about myself.  How am I to help the people who raised and taught me everything I know against my own kind?  I don't know how..."
Picture
It was then that Dree saw the book that Granny Flare had left amongst the pillows.  Dree didn't know it, but it was the book that Granny had gotten from Atian's library before he had left on his trip.  As the Dragon picked it up and read the title, he knew that Granny must have left it for a purpose. 
​"Why would Granny leave me a book about Dragons?" he wondered as he started to settle himself down in the fluffy pile of pillows and start reading.  "So much better than a rock," he mumbles to himself as he turns to the next page of the book.

Moonlight is...

After Awena sent Dree, the new Moon Dragon, to his cave following the council meeting, she knew she needed to follow up with some research of her own.  As she returned to the home of the Sleeping Sisters, she thought to herself, "I need to see what message the cards of the Flowers have to say and then spend some time with my crystal ball."  Calming herself and centering her energy she pulled a card from the Language of Flowers deck and then sat quietly holding her crystal ball.  It didn't take long before the lights starting swirling around inside the ball appearing to open a portal into another dimension.
"I need to stay calm and open my mind to this new energy," she reassured herself. "For if this helps the Village on the Wall and the Realms, I need to know."  The more she stared into the crystal ball the more she felt that she was being taken into another realm.  The trees were so green and she could feel their magical roots connecting under her feet as she was walked along the unfamiliar path.  She was holding her crystal ball in front of her like a lantern lighting her way when she started to see the mist in the ball clear away.
She could see a face though not clearly.  Then she heard a deep voice inside her head.  "I am Aralt and I am here to guide you on this journey.  Follow my voice so that we may soon be together."  Looking ahead of her, Awena could now see a new path opening up as the bushes and plants cleared a way for her to follow.  Not knowing if danger lay ahead for her, Awena decided the knowledge she may receive was worth the risk. 
Picture
She followed the new trail which led her down into a grotto with a large waterfall.  As she stared at the falls and listened to the crashing of the water onto the rocks, she heard the voice again.  "Enter the waterfall for there are those that have a message for you."  ​
After seeing a few stepping stones in the water, Awena proceeded ahead hoping the waterfall wasn't going to destroy her elaborate headpiece she wore.  As she was just about to step into the falling water, magically the waters parted to reveal a cave.  She slowly entered in to see two Dragons laying in wait for her.  At once she felt a connection to one for this was the mother of Dree.  Beside her lay a white Dragon though transparent more like the spirit of a beautiful Dragon.  Awena could feel in her heart that this was the Dragon that gave her magic to the girls that created the Sleeping Sisters.
They nodded their heads as she entered and she heard a melodious sound in her head.  It was a different language then anything she had ever heard before but yet... somehow she seemed to be able to understand it.  The Mother Dragon said "Sit Awena for we have words of strength, guidance, and love to share with you.  We are here to help this change that is about to happen to your realm."  Awena sat and suddenly it occurred to her that she would also talk with these Dragons.  It seems like hours for there was much to learn and yet time also flew by.  Soon she knew it was time to return to her world and as she rose, thanking the Dragons for sharing their wisdom, she was met at the cave entrance by another Fae.  She was not sure who it was until he spoke.
"Let me say these final words to you Awena as you will never return to this vision again," said Aralt.  "Sunlight may banish the Darkness away.  But Moonlight is the Light in the Darkness."  At which Awena awoke in her room holding her now silent crystal ball.

Bringing to a Close...

As the Dowager finished telling everyone her reason for summoning the council meeting, the room was silent.  It was Snoop who was the first to speak, but this time making sure he did not interrupt Griselda again.

"I had hoped for a 'newsy' scoop for the Bellwether but I wasn't looking for a disaster!" he moaned.  "From your story, how are we going to survive this?  Who or what is a Great Fae?  Will Aralt the Herald be enough?"
Seeing the look of concern in everyone's eyes, even Dree's, the Dowager realized that she was the one who was going to have to inspire confidence to them all.  "I bring this up so we can prepare and be ready for their arrival.  It appears from what Goodie4U has seen that the Dragons are widely dispersed.  That means we will probably start seeing them either return alone or in small groups.  That will give us time." ​
"I will put out the call to the Wish Dragon clan. I still know a few others who are around that will come to help," she told them waving her tattooed arm around with the clan  symbol.  Waiting to make sure that everyone was still listening, she continued.  "Augustus, I need you to write the best stories you have ever put into the Bellwether.  Start out slow.  Give the readers time to adjust to having this new change of seeing a Dragon with the hint that many more may be seen soon...  You know the old saying, where there is one - others are soon to follow."  
Picture
Wish Dragon Clan Symbol
​"Let everyone in the Realms know that Dree is a peaceful Dragon and that the council welcomes their return when it should happen."  Seeing Snoop nod his head and start writing on the paper he held, Griselda knew that he would do as she asked since he now understood the danger they were all in.
"For the rest of you, I will be returning to the Mansion with my son.  We have a lot of messages to start sending out to see who will respond.  I will also call an All Clans meeting to see who will attend."  For a second, the Dowager stopped talking.  A very concerning thought came to her but she did not want to have the others notice so she quickly continued.  "Each of you must return to your homes and start preparing both yourselves and your people as to the Dragons' return.  What we did worked last time after the Great Age of Befuddlement, so it will work again.  Before you go, I will talk to each of you as to what I suggest you do.  But I also suggest you start thinking of what you might also be able to do in addition to that."
While the Dowager was meeting with everyone before they left, Awena and Dree were standing in a corner of the council chambers talking in a low whisper.  "Dree, I think it is time for you to return to the caves under the Mansion," Awena told the Moon Dragon.  "That way you will be closer to Griselda when she needs you as I am sure she will in the coming times."
"I hadn't thought about that," answered Dree.  "I would like that.  I will let the others know also so if they need me they will all know where to find me."
Picture
"I think that would be a good idea.  Why don't you go tell them now while they are all still here?" Awena answered as Dree started to walk away.  As the Moon Dragon passed her, he did not notice the look in her eyes as she watched him go.  "Your life is again about to change as another prophecy unfolds young Dragon," the Sleeping Sister whispered, "and I hope you have both the courage and the strength as I have started to become quite fond of you."   Taking a deep breathe and closing her eyes to center herself, Awena thought to herself.  "It might also be a good time to see what my cards and Crystal ball have to say about this Great Fae."

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.
Picture
"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."
Picture
"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..."

Calling the Meeting...

5/24/2023

"Quiet!  Quiet everyone.  I am calling this meeting to order," the Dowager said forcibly without raising her voice. Awena nodded her head knowing the chant she had cast earlier was helping her friend be heard over the crowd. Everyone started moving toward seats in the chamber.  Some assigned and some for whomever sat in it first. 
The Baron sat on the left of his mother, the Dowager Griselda, while Awena was on her right side at the front of the room.  Everyone else gave respect due to the new royalty of the Realm - the new Queen Ffion and Troll King Dulbbe, who sat facing towards the head table wondering what this meeting could be about.  The Gooblin King was not into protocol.  He preferred to sit off in the grey hidden shadows of the back of the room observing what was going on.  He told others that he preferred to be off to himself, but most believed it was because he couldn't stand all the bright lights.
"There are several things I need to bring to this Council's attention that are very important.  But before I do, I want the Council to be aware that just before I arrived at this meeting I received a Dragonflyye!" exclaimed the Dowager.  That started the muttering around the room to go in several different directions.  
Picture
​In the section reserved for the minions (so they could be called upon to deliver edicts from the council) Arnie had taken one of the seats because she had never sat at council before.  It's not like a 'Borrower' is invited to many functions since they have a tendency to 'find' things that they take with them when they leave.  Leaning over to Meen she asked in a low voice "What's so important about a dragonfly?  I chase them all of the time when I am not out borrowing."
Meen whispered "I am not sure if it's the same thing.  It could be I suppose, but I remember once that the old King of Shadows' referred to having a relic of one posted in an ancient scroll.  It was an ancient way of sending important messages when the Dragons where around."
Picture
Throwing up her hands into the air with a shrug Arnie asked her companion, "Who could be sending a Dragonflyye to the Dowager?  How could they even know to send it to her?"  

​Who indeed???

VMP Arrivals...

5/16/2023

As Snoop quietly snuck across the street and into the alley beside the council chamber, he could now see clearer through the window. There she was, Granny Flare, and she was doing the cleaning. 
At first he thought she was sweeping with her broom, but realized that she was actually holding a Dusty Myte and pointing it towards the floor as it was sucking in the dust. ​
It was that new style of cleaning she had shown to some of the other house Brownies at her last convention that he had written about.  She called it 'vak-u-ming' (whatever that was).  "It will never replace the broom," Snoop thought as he continued watching her clean.  "There must be a meeting going to happen today," he realized when he also saw the brewing tea pot and cookies.  "There sure are a lot of cookies and cups, so it must be for a full council meeting.  Maybe even some VMPs (Very Magical Persons) " Snoop muttered to himself.
Since he knew all of the best hiding places to observe the towns people, he soon was sitting comfortably in an old chair outside of the Hicaberry Tea Shop.  Here he could sit at one of the best places for a cup of  tea and could watch the council chamber too as he hid in the shadows of the eaves.  Snoop had long ago set aside a small expense budget for just this purpose because the Tea Shop made him buy something when he just sat on their porch and watched things happening.  
Picture
​"At least the tea is better than what I brew at the Bellwether," Snoop thought while he slowly sipped a little.  "I might have to make this cup last a long time since it doesn't appear that anyone has arrived yet but Granny Flare."
Picture
It was then that he noticed the troll.  It was Dulbbe, the new King of the Trolls, and standing besides him was Drat.  "Where did they come from," he wondered.  "They had not been there a minute ago."  Listening closely as he leaned over slightly (another reason he had picked this spot), he could just barely hear Dulbbe talking to Drat.
"You were right," Dulbbe said to Drat.  "It was uncomfortable besides being dirty too.  I don't want to have to use that route again unless we absolutely have too.  I mean, I can usually see well in the dark, but not in that pitch black hole you took me through.  I don't know how you did it because I could not see my hand in front of my face!  And don't tell me what was making that sound when were were walking around down there... I don't even what to know who or what it was," Dulbbe finished with a shudder as he brushed his clothes with his hands.
"Sorry Sire, but you did say you wanted to get here fast," Drat answered (but not before Snoop noticed that the rat had answered with a small smile on his lips).  Still smiling, Drat stepped aside and motioned for his King to enter the council chamber first as he followed.
"Interesting," thought Snoop.  "I wonder who else will appear."  Just as he said that, the coach with Queen Ffion pulled up being pulled by no less than four Nytemares.  "She must have been in a hurry," he decided.  "This must be important!"  
As Snoop continued to sip on his tea, he was able to observe several more arrivals for the meeting.  There was Hewy, Hir'aeth the Gooblin King, the Goodie sisters, Awena from the Sleeping Sisters, the Baron and his mother the Dowager, and even Dewin the Wizard.  All VMPs indeed!  It was the last guest that appeared the made Snoop realize that he had to get into the meeting somehow.  It was that young Wish Dragon who had transformed into a Moon Dragon, Drai'ochtluan.  "I am glad that he likes to go by 'Dree' for short," Snoop sighed to himself.  "I would have to look up the spelling every time I want to write it down."
As Snoop was trying to figure out some means of getting into the council chamber, he did not notice that a Pyksee had been sneaking up behind him until she pulled on his sleeve, making him jump several inches into the air.  It was Meen, the new Queen's minion.  "Don't do that," he told her.  "You made me jump."
Picture
Not realizing that Snoop meant it as a bad thing because she liked to jump everywhere, she shrugged his comment off and pulled on his sleeve again.  When she thought she had his full attention, she delivered the message she was sent out with.  "The Council asks if you would join them in the council chamber.  They said they did not want to start without you."
Snoop was flabbergasted... how did they know that is exactly where he wanted to be?

What, Why & ...

"The Food Fight was just going to have to wait since receiving the summons from Griselda," thought Goodie4U.  It didn't take very long for her to put on her shoes and grab her hat. Her sisters stood in the kitchen waiting for her as she donned the hat and as she started for the door she asked them what they were waiting for. "Come on you two, we shouldn't be dallying," Goodie4U told them as she opened the door and started outside. 
Her sisters only looked at each other while shaking their heads from side to side.  As Goodiegood was the last out the door, she waved her hand and fingers in such a way that as she closed the door, the circle of twigs inside of the cottage over the door twisted together and locked it.  Goodiegood heard the clicking sound and thought, "Better to be safe than sorry," as she heard Goodie2shues say "Now off to the council meeting".
Picture
Soon the three sisters were walking on the trail to the Village on the Wall.  As Goodie2shues was casting a protection spell to keep her shoes from getting dusty from the trail, she was also re-telling her sisters again the message from the Flutterby.

"I wonder what could have made Griselda change the location?" Good4U asked her sisters.

"Personally, I would rather have had it at the Baron's Mansion," Goodiegood said.  "It is so much nicer than that chilly old Council Chamber in the village especially as the Baron's batman, Fiddlefaddle, does make such a savory cup of tea."
​ 
"I am sure the Dowager had a good reason why," replied Goodie2shues.
For a while afterwards they continued down the trail in silence.  Each of the sisters thinking about how much could she tell the others at the meeting.  It was Goodie4U who started talking first.  "Sisters.  It is all my fault for the meeting.  As I was visiting the Outie world, I had a vision.  It was the return of the Dragons."

Before she could continue, Goodie2shues spoke.  "I too had a vision while using the Baking Spoon.  That we decided to help Hungry, Oops, I mean Drai'ochtluan (AKA Dree) is why the Dragons could return.  At first I could not understand why that would be a problem.  We have all missed them since they left, but then I started thinking about possibilities.  Some of the whys and therefores did start to concern me.   Oh Batter!  Sisters. Have we bitten off more than we can chew?"
​For several more paces no one spoke, but the two youngest sisters kept turning to look at their eldest sister to see if she was going to add anything.
Just when they thought she wouldn't, Goodiegood started to speak.  "Yesterday I was using my ol' scrying baking bowl because something was nagging at me.  At first, I thought it was a new recipe trying to get out so I could write it down in my cookbook. Then I realized that it was something else."  Goodiegood continued to describe on how her bowl looked in the vision.  "At first the inside of the bowl appeared full.  Then partially empty, then to empty, and then back to partially full."

​"But this was the strange part - when the bowl was partially empty, it looked more like a crescent shape and on the opposite side of where it was the first time, before going back to full," finished Goodiegood.
​"This happened several times before it stopped.  When it did, I too saw a Dragon... but it wasn't Dree I don't think.  It was flying in front of the moon and all I could see was an outline but it seemed smaller than Dree.  As I have been thinking about it as to who this could be,  then this message came from the Dowager, plus you both having seen the return of the Dragons, it is definitely a sign.  The problem is that I don't know what is baking!" Goodiegood continued.
As the sisters approached the village, they still had not decided amongst themselves what to tell the council or if there was a way they could control what might arise in the conversation.  "This can definitely be a recipe for disaster," thought Goodiegood as she entered the council chambers after her sisters.
