Unpacking...

Spring had officially arrived and Allspice was excited to unpack and setup the new headquarters for the SPICE team soon to be arriving.

As leader to this elite group it was Allspice's responsibility to find the perfect location and get established.

With his wings all a flutter, Allspice was thrilled he had located a set of caves close to the Dragons.  Actually there seemed to be a lot of caves in the location the Dragons had landed.  Which was a good thing since Allspice didn't want to be living right next door to them.  Nothing was worse (well, almost nothing) than not being able to sleep because one had a Dragon next door that was snoring loud enough to even make the rock walls of a cave tremble. 

Giving his wings one more big flutter, (click here if you like to see how his wings were made), Al hoped he was able to blow away some of the spider webs higher up in the cave.  Webs could be good for some baking recipes but he just wasn't up to collecting them just now and with how many were there, he figured it would not take long for more webs to be spun.  He was here to brew and cleaning just wasn't one of his favorite jobs!

He had just heard from a flutterby that a new cleaning operation was being opened by a Brownie named Granny Flare.  He just might have to hire her.  Al knew that when the other members of the team showed up, there would even be more to clean then.

Plus, his Dragon proof apron was to protect him from flames hot enough to melt the hardest metals in the Realms, not for cleaning caves and who knows what else.  It was the 'what else' that made it even more of a reason to hire someone else for cleaning as some of the interesting things he was finding laying around seemed to be Wysp made.  He hoped that after finding the perfect place for his kitchen, none of those blue pesky creatures were around.  They could drive one mad with all their questions and their nosiness of peeking into this and that.

"Finally!"  Allspice muttered to himself.  He had been moving boxes from one side of the cave to the other looking for it for the past couple of hours.  Now that he found it, he was thrilled he could finally unpack this travel box.

His bellows!  He couldn't get the flames hot without it.  Plus he loved the feeling he got when he could get into the rhythm of the sound the bellows made when he stepped on it.  Without his bellows, he simply couldn't even think about starting to brew up any Ambrosia for the Dragons and they certainly needed to get stocked up now that he found their new headquarters.
