The Mushroom Line...

​As Efem and Cornelia were discussing their plan of locating the missing Dragon, Efem asked, "Now that we have sent Nemmer and The CAT to look for the young Dragon maybe we should contact the Twitter network?"

​"Yes, we could.  Everyone in the Shadows’ Realm know the birds are a good source of gossip since they do like to twitter all day long to anything that will listen.  But you and I know the most reliable source of news is the Mushroom Line," answered Cornelia.

​Efem nodded her head as she had to agree, for where ever a shadow lay - a mushroom was sure to sprout, and even though their ears don’t stick out they hear everything that is happening in the woods.

​No one knew how they told each other what they heard - not even the trees using the Root Connection could understand it; but the Mushroom Line was usually the first to report anything ‘unusual’ in the Realm.

​And if you have not guessed it yet, Parsley is the Telegraph Master to this news line which just irked Efem to no end.  Efem wasn't thrilled that she and Cornelia needed to ask her for help in finding the elusive Wish Dragon before anyone else found him.

​Efem, who prided herself in being the first to know anything happening in her Sacred Grove, was already feeling a little hedged in as she was sure that Parsley already knew that Efem and Cornelia had already started their journey to see her.  That is how efficient the Mushroom Line is.

​So as Parsley prepares herself for her visitors, and Efem and Cornelia make their way to her - the mushrooms watch and listen for more news in the Realm for tales of a Dragon.
