Ringing the Dinner Bell ...

As Goodie2shues came up to put her arm around Arnie's waist and started guiding her to a chair at the kitchen table, she was figuring this would be a better place to look at this mystery that the Borrower had brought to her cottage. She ushered Arnie to sit down.  "Don't mind the stuff on the table, it will move when we need the space," she told Arnie. 

​Goodie2shues also needed to ring the Dinner Bell for her sisters, especially after that last message from the Baking Spoon. Should Goodie2shues leave the Borrower alone in the kitchen even if it is for a minute?

Goodie2shues knew most people would not leave a Borrower alone for even a second, but she decided she wasn't going to worry.  The house (and especially the kitchen) had a way of protecting what was in it.  The Dinner Bell was located by the backdoor of the kitchen hanging off the rafter of the cottage.  Only the Goodie Sisters could hear this ring and if they did, they knew they needed to come home NOW!

Goodie2shues noticed that the Borrower was still standing by the table, looking confused, she pointed at the chair and then slightly pushed down on Arnie's shoulders while saying, "Please, Arnie, sit here at the table while I ring up my sisters."  She then turned and walked out the back door to ring the Dinner Bell. 

After doing so, she returned only to find Arnie looking around the kitchen as if she had never seen one before as whisks were mixing something in a bowl and a broom was sweeping the floor all by itself.  Not realizing how strange this might be to the Borrower, Goodie2shues ignored what was going on around her and sat down at one of the chairs at the table. She then asked "How much does the motley crew outside know about the Dragon tablet you have with you?" ​

The mention of the tablet brought Arnie back to what why she was there in the first place and started her to thinking for a moment before she answered.  "The Wysp knows some because the pesky thing won't leave me alone.  Though she did help me to find you as I really do need some help in trying to understand what this is all about.  The rat and the cute troll guy just happened to sneak up on me when I went home and that says a lot of how distracted I have been ever since I discovered this treasure." ​

Throwing her arms up in the air, Arnie continued " I mean, someone sneaking up on a Borrower?  It just isn't done!  So can you help me?" Arnie pleaded as she drew the tablet out of one of her many pockets and laid it on the table.  She had been so distracted that she hadn't even noticed that when she sat down the table was full of things and now a spot was there for the tablet.  A distracted Borrower is not a good thing at all! ​

As the tablet was set on the table, Goodie2shues could see the magic glowing around it and certainly felt the age of time connected to it.  Just as she was drawing closer to take a better look at it, the kitchen door slammed shut.  "What is going on Goodie2shues?"  asked her oldest sister Goodiegood.  "Why were you ringing the Dinner Bell?  What's the trouble?" asked her other older sister Goodie4u.

Not taking her eyes off of the Dragon tablet, Goodie2shues replied, "Look at what this Borrower dragged in."  As the three sisters stood around the table,  the tablet slowly began to spin and slightly raise off the table.  Before the tablet could lift any higher from the table, the Goodie Sister's Baking Spoon flew across the room and landed on top of the tablet to lower it back down to the table.  Seldom did the Baking Spoon open up to all the Sisters at once, but at this moment each of them had their hair flying and their eyes rolling back in their heads as a vision appeared to each.

"Great danger to all," whispered Goodiegood as she saw a vision of war between all the races in the Realm of Wymsy.  "The lust for power will destroy the peace of the realms if what I have seen is not averted."

"The secrets of the tablet will reveal a great transformation.  When that happens, the magical energy generated will create a powerful being that has never been seen in the Realm," said Goodie4u in an eerie voice that did not sound at all like her normal one... it gave all of them a slight chill.

​It was then that the vision left each of the sisters and they now stood there looking at each other with concern in their eyes as they all then stared at Arnie.  It wasn't until the last sister, Goodie2shues, finally told her part of the vision that made Arnie wish even more that she had never found the Dragon tablet.

"Arnie, you are the one that will make all of this happen.  You and the tablet that you have found.  I cannot tell you when exactly, but it will be soon and you will have to make the most important choice you have ever made that might just destroy the Realm of Wymsy."
