Scored...

​Dragonfaust had scored again - another bachelor lost!  Hazelwyn finished typing up her article for the Bellwether and for that sweet young editor, Snoop.  Well, some may not think Snoop as young, but compared to Hazelwyn, he could be another bachelor in trouble of being taken off of the single status list at next year's Dragonfaust.

"Now where did I put my glasses?" Hazelwyn thought then gave a silly little giggle as she realized that they were on top of her head as usual.

"I need to get this article over to the office before they close and using the Twitter birds just won't do," Hazelwyn continued to think as she walked around her small cottage.  "Plus the Mushroom Line is only good for gossip, not for a reliable story like mine."

She slipped on the wooly clogs for her feet and began to pull on one more shawl over her head to protect her from the chilly wind blowing outside.  Hazelwyn then opened the door and took one more look to see if she had what she needed.  With a wave of her hand over her the doorknob, a small glittery light swirled and settled on the lock.  "Even in this safe neighborhood, it never hurts to protect oneself and one's home," Hazelwyn said to herself.   With a satisfied smile, she turned and proceeded to start her long walk to the newspaper office in the village.

As Hazelwyn was dreamily thinking of how brillant Snoop was going to think her article was, Roslie came out of a side path.  "Good day Fae one," Roslie said.

A little surprised but always happy to meet someone to talk to, Hazelwyn replied, "Good day Fae one.  You are new to our community aren't you?" she asked as they both continued walking towards the village.  With a curiousity only surpassed by Snoop's desire to know, Hazelwyn knew she had an opportunity here too good to pass up.  Roslie replied that yes, she was new as she had been part of the rescue of the World of Whispers and was still learning her way around.

Hazelwyn, always the newspaper reporter, asked "So what did you think of our recent  holiday of Dragonfaust and how our village does what it can in the match making department?"  "I will admit," said Roslie, "It wasn't what I was expecting but it was fun to see Lallan 'bag' Seamus finally.  She has been mooning over him forever from what I hear and was just tired of waiting for him to make his first move."

"Yes, they have been the talk of the village.  We even had odds on if she was going to bag him this year," answered Hazelwyn.  "With the long odds, I made a bundle on my Dragonfaust Pool bet." 

"I have to drop off my article at the Bellwether.  Would you like to meet up at the Sugar Plum Bakery for some tea and crumpets?  I would love to hear more of your story, Roslie," said Hazelwyn as she reached the door to the Bellwether office.
