The Nyte Shades ..Where Are They Now???

Both the Dowager and Baron could not believe what they had just read.  Nyte Shades!  And they are what gave the power to Dragons!  After a long silence when they finished reading the story, Griselda turned to Awena and asked "Do you know where the Nyte Shades went or are they still here?"

"No, I don't know.  As far as I have found, nobody even knows what they looked like for sure," answered the Sleeping Sister.  "There are no sketches in any of the scrolls and no descriptions.  For the power of the magic they had, we can only assume that they could probably also change shapes and may be with us still." 

"It is hard to believe.  Another magical being gave magic to the Dragons...  and I never knew... even when I received my dragon tattoo as being a member of the Dragon clan," mumbled Griselda.  "They never told us," she continued to tell Awena.  "The Dragons never even mentioned Nyte Shades and who would have thought to ask!"

​Realizing that this discovery was upsetting the Dowager, Awena steered her to one of the seats in the library and asked an acolyte to bring them some tea and biscuits.

Soon they were sipping tea and slowly Griselda was beginning to come to terms with this discovery.  "I felt betrayed by them not telling us, but now that I think more about it," she told the Sister, "I guess that it was never my place to know.  It's just hard to fathom that Dragons were at one time just another being in the Realms and not the powerful creatures they became..."

After a long pause, and when Griselda did not continue, Awena decided it was best to tell her old friend of her concerns.  "Griselda, I believe that the finding of the tablet by the Borrowers and your discovery of this book were meant to be.  Somehow they are tied together and you are going to be a major player in the game."  What the Sleeping Sister did not say but was in her thoughts was, "and I hope you have the strength for it."

As the Baron was still staring at the book and trying to turn the pages but it would not let him, a gleam was slowing starting to come to his eyes.  Neither Awena or Griselda noticed as they were deep in conversation about the Nyte Shades.  "A new adventure unlike any I have ever had before - to solve this mystery of the Nyte Shades," he realized.    "I will need to figure out a way to have mom stay at the mansion. Also Fiddlefaddle will need to start packing again as soon as when he returns and upon us getting back home.  I'll need to find someone to babysit my creatures!"
