 | At the same time Hir'aeth, the Gooblin King, was meeting with his mechanical spy, Passporte' was following Drat, the Rat, at the Troll King's command. (To read about that adventure - click here.) |  |
Passporte' had been a little hesitant to enter the small cottage as the entire meeting was held in total darkness. He never learned what was told to Drat as he did not speak of it even after they left (which only added more mystery to the whole event).
 | Drat's web of spies was spread wide for the royal as he was well known for being the one who got those 'special things' done for Druzzy, the King of the Trolls. Which was a good thing as those spies just reported to him about the finding of the tablet by the 'borrowers'. Who the 'borrowers' are is not important just yet, but what they had found was. A tablet that was rumored to have been written by the Dragons and hidden when they left was the find of the millennium (especially since Trolls and Dragons are known to live for a very long time). |
Dragon script is ancient with only a rare few outside the circle of Dragons that can read their written language. The thing was that Drat had heard the Gooblin King was one of those individuals. Drat knew that Atian, the Village on the Wall historian, was also one of those but he had left and nobody knew when he would return leaving just the Gooblin King... or so he thought.
As he was racking his tiny brain, Drat knew that when he informed Druzzy he would be ordered to find out what was on the tablet... but who to go to? Then it hit Drat. One other may know how to read the tablet or possibly might know of someone else with the knowledge. The Dowager! She had been a Wish Dragon Clan Guardian and knew many of their secrets. "How do I get her to tell me," he pondered. "I may have to resort to that method I seldom use."
| At that moment, Griselda, the Dowager, was sitting in her chair at the Baron's mansion, sipping her tea and wondering how Hungry, the little Wish Dragon, was doing. "I have a feeling I should go see him," she decided. Once the decision was made, she instructed Sneefle, her faithful servant, to have a message delivered to Hunter, the Shadows' King, that she would be visiting and wouldn't it be nice if she could see Hungry again. "He will get the message," she smiled, knowing that he would both receive the message and understand. After all, as Hungry being the last of the Dragons of the Wish Dragon clan and herself being the last of the guardians of the Dragon, it was time to confirm that Hungry was learning what he needed to know. |  |
