    The corridors were unusually long and Malvina was thinking of urging Leormn back to the cave, but she pulled herself together and began to sing a well known song of her friends’ world.

    :fleuron:

    Mandrake was trying desperately to relax, but apparently Yikesy wasn’t seeing it that way. Vincentius was so patient that it wasn’t human… well he wasn’t human after all, and Mandrake was beginning to doubt the baby could be human too, his dark rocky face notwithstanding.

    After all he had done to amuse him, the baby’s responses were quite disappointing. His subtle puns, his witticisms and his elaborate jokes all overlooked… And worse, that devilish baby dared pull his tail! Mandrake couldn’t help a disgraceful meow before he ran away from the scoundrel.
    Vincentius had told him the baby was a bit young, but the cat was suspecting a particularly mischievous tendency.

    The baby stopped crying and shouting. That’s when Mandrake realized someone was coming.
    Strange song really, he had never heard that language before… maybe it was just jibberish. He sprang on his feet and sidestepped skillfully another attempt of the little one to catch his tail. It was the occasion he was waiting for.

    :fleuron:

    Focused on her 100th kilometer, Malvina hadn’t notice she was arrived. Vincentius was attending to the child’s need and she had just the time to notice the cat who had just snaked under her petticoat.

    — Mandrake, be careful! I almost walked on your tail…

    — Meow! (that one was quite elegant and he was proud of it) Well, he said ironically, I was trained by the boy…

    She laughed at the idea of Mandrake tormented by Yikesy.

    — He’s Yike a cyclone, not resting until complete exhaustion.
    The trace of bitterness in his tone surprised him, though he began to relax under her smile. That was a long time since he hadn’t purred like that… he really liked her presence and energy, and it seemed to influence the kid also.

    — Are you going to make him sleep? he asked eagerly.

    — Oh no, I’ve merely soothed your energy and the baby is responding quite readily to the newborn calmness of the room.

    — That was rude, he said as if offended, but he was grateful for it. Vincentius, my dear fellow companion in this godforsaken place, he called to divert attention from him. Look at who’s here.

    The semi-god turn quickly his head and bowed it slightly before returning to his main preoccupation.

    — He’s a bit rude too. He had barely welcomed you…

    — Well he’s quite aware I’m not here for him or the baby.

      Q: Okay. What happens to things we create, like with
      characters? Are they merely thought-forms, being extensions of
      ourselves? Or do they … CAN they move on and become more?

      ELIAS: This is dependent upon your choices and how you are
      manipulating energy.

      Now; in this, let us view what you in physical focus term to be
      artistic expressions, in the area of musical composition and of
      painting expressions. These are two obvious examples within your
      physical creations that you may view certain qualities of the
      expressions.

      Now; in this, some expressions, within either musical compositions
      or expressions of illustrations or paintings, may appear to be
      merely an expression of the individual and hold the energy signature
      of that individual, but they appear or seem to not extend any
      farther, so to speak; this is figuratively speaking.

      In other terms, you may encounter other types of musical
      compositions or illustrated or painted compositions, and they appear
      quite differently. They appear not merely to hold the energy
      signature of the individual that has created them, but they also
      seem to hold an energy of their own, as if they have been created
      into an entity of their own.

      Now; the reason that you connect with this recognition of these
      types of expressions is that the composition does hold the energy
      signature of the individual that has created it, but what it also
      may hold is an aspect of that individual focus which has been
      allowed to be projected outwardly and has been allowed to continue
      independently of the focus.

      This is a similar action to fragmentation, but in very physical,
      figurative terms, a much, much smaller scale.

      This would be likened to any individual, any focus, any essence
      projecting an aspect of itself into any other element within its
      physical creation – a creature, a plant, a rock. It matters not. You
      hold the ability within essence to be projecting an aspect of
      essence or of a particular focus into any of these elements to be
      experiencing the creations of that element of your reality, such as
      a creature or any vegetation, an ocean, a mountain, a rock. It
      matters not.

      In similar manner, you may project an aspect of yourself into one of
      your creations or all of your creations or several of your
      creations, and in this, not merely you shall recognize that this
      creation appears to take on, so to speak, a life of its own, in your
      terms, but other individuals shall recognize this quality also, for
      you have allowed yourself to project an aspect of yourself into your
      physical creation, therefore breathing into it its own
      manifestation, allowing it to be continuing within its own element,
      so to speak, within its own right, in a manner of speaking. Are you
      understanding?

      Therefore, this be your choice of how you shall be creating
      within your creativity and what you shall project within it. Appear
      it not strange to you that certain individuals may be deemed as
      great masters and they shall be revered for their creations and
      their creations shall be enduring throughout your linear physical
      time, and other individuals may be creating and their expressions of
      creativity do not hold this quality? This is the reason…”

      Were are we Anu? , the mother asked her young daughter trotting in front of her. My, it’s awfully dark in there… Are you sure we’ll find the others here?
      — Yes Mum. Anu answered in a soft voice.
      — Don’t be so anxious, Lily dear; trust our little girl; after all, she did so bravely well on her own after that plane crash.
      — You’re right Aaron, but this place is so… I don’t know, it gives me the creeps. It’s like… I couldn’t tell why, but it’s like we’re not remotely close to the Miami… or even the Sarcastic Sea where we’re supposed to be stranded…
      — It’s because we’re not, muttered Anita, more to herself than to her mother. But we’ll be soon enough, she added.
      — Sometimes I wonder how can Anu know so well were we are when we’re so lost, her mother mumbled…

      Balbina was following the little group as it was heading to the cave where one of the portal’s entrances was located. She could see the entrance clearly, glowing and sending ripples of energy coils, but that was only because she was travelling in her dream-body. While Anita, who was quite tuned into those things, wasn’t appearing to be lost, the parents seemed more than a little in the dark, and not only figuratively speaking…

      Balbina turned to the rabbit who was keeping her company.
      — And do you know were they’re going to?
      And do you like the things that life is showing you? giggled Yuki. Well, more seriously, it depends on what they’re choosing. And it could lead them to a place much more different than the one they expect to go to.

      A funny idea crossed the mind of Balbina, so much so that the elderly lady, who was looking rather youngish in her dreamlike appearance couldn’t help but express it.

      — Could they come to my place? They seem so charming people, and they seem to come from the same time as I do…
      — I thought you would never ask, Yuki smiled at her mischievously.
      — Oh, why?
      — Don’t you think it’s a funny coincidence that you are to meet them here and now?
      — Well… It’s just a dream, isn’t it?
      — And what if you could make that dream reality? Prove to yourself that it’s as real as anything else…
      — That sounds exciting indeed.

      “Here!” Anita was pointing a strange shaped bush of brambles.

      Rafaela was standing next to the bushes with Armelle on a tree nearby. “I’ve thought it would be more practical for them than the rock pool”
      “Good thinking dear” Yuki answered the goat.

      — And now? Balbina asked
      — I think it’s up to you and Anita, said Yuki.

      “And where are we going from there?” asked Lily to her daughter.
      “Not far from here, to a friend’s home, in Venezuela .” answered Anita with a wink which seemed lost to her parents, but not to the beaming Balbina.

        Sam wanted to see by himself. He had suddenly remembered what Becky had told them once about a pet shop with a nine-tailed glowing fox. He hadn’t paid attention at the moment, but this was somewhat reappearing in his dreams lately. One of his focuses was the link, and he was seeing his face more and more looking directly at him.
        He usually wasn’t speaking with his other selves, he was rather directly exchanging energy with them. At first it had been a bit awkward, practicing with telepathy and conversing with his friends was his main focus of interest. But once he was aware of how he could do that more easily and more efficiently, his attention wandered to other means of communication.
        Eschraiel was currently nudging him, and his animal form was quite intriguing. Especially since there were those kind of animals living now!
        He had arrived at the shop without really paying attention. He was following his guts to lead him exactly where he wanted.
        Being soft, in the kind of mode of processing he was in currently, the people around were like objects around merged with his environment, nothing standing out. Except maybe that woman in front of the big parrot cage… no, not the woman but the color of her gown, a deep indigo, vibrant and shiny. She turned her smiling face in his direction, but it was like Eschraiel’s energy superimposed on hers. He smiled back at her and continued to the rear of the shop.

        The creatures were in a dark room, their fur glowing with rusty and fiery shades. Apparently very engrossed in chasing each others tails… they had quite a lot to keep them busy. The little ones especially were jumping heartily on the older ones. Challenging them to retaliate… but getting apparently no response from them except a few grunts.

        :fleuron:

        No particular feeling at first.

        :fleuron:

        One of the little ones, maybe…

        :fleuron:

        This one. One of the older ones. A male. He was looking at him now, as aware of Sam’s energy as Sam was aware of his.
        He yelped a few times, standing like an Egyptian Sphinx.

        :fleuron:

        In no time, Sam was out with his nine-tailed glowing fox…
        He’s so still, thought Sam.
        How would I name you? he thought, directing the energy to the creature.

        He opened his mouth and let his tongue out in such a way, it was like he was grinning and challenging him. Sam laughed and thought to the fox : So I have to play the impression game with you then.
        Maybe… I can call you Sam actually :))
        One bark was enough of an answer.
        So Sam it is!
        Another bark.
        I have to introduce you to my friends now… I don’t know why, but I have the feeling Al will love you

        Waiting for Anita to come with Yuki and the others, Rafaela :goat: was discussing with Armelle, who was perched on a branch. :y_orly:

        — See, I’ve been considering getting a more snappy name, you know… Can’t make nice puns with such a daft name, only fit to a goat… beh.”
        — (embarrassed silence)
        — Eggsactly… Mmmm, something shorter…
        — Like Traf?… :yahoo_raised_eyebrow:
        — Beh… it’s “fart” in reverse… isn’t it?… Though… there’s a catchy ring to it… Trafficky Traf, mmm… interesting…
        — (more embarrassed silence, floating insane images of a goat-headed wrestler on a ring of catch…)
        — Mmm, they’re taking such a long time to come, aren’t they?

        (simultaneous time notwithstandingly)

        She was the first to notice.

        First there was a loud bang, that she perceived as a shock wave rippling all around.

        Then, she felt a strange flabby thing with bat arms fall into the ocean, while the other energy was coming their ways. “Wow,” she couldn’t help but think; “they’re having unusual nightly activities around for such a small isolated island.”

        The dog resting by the fire got alerted then, and tried to wake up the others. But apparently, they seemed oblivious to it.

        Then, something stranger happened. The small white rabbit started to talk, as if it had been aware all along.
        “It’ll take a while for him to see you again Kay, just don’t yap like a silly dog… Besides, you’ll disturb our guests”
        “Guests?” the dog answered back.

        The moment after, the rabbit had disappeared from the girl’s lap, and was standing between her and the dog.
        “Welcome, Balbina”, he told her.

        “How do you know my name?” she was aghast, unable to say if it was for the talking rabbit, or for the fact it knew her name.
        Unperturbed, it continued “It’s a busy night. There are lots of things happening, and we hope you’ll stick around. It may be helpful for our friends here.”
        “Er… why not… I mean, yes, sure. And you are?”
        “Yuki, at your service. I’m not really a rabbit of course, but that form is convenient”
        “And cute too…” she said tentatively
        “Thank you”

        Balbina had never thought a rabbit could blush, but she would have bet it was the closest thing to a blushing rabbit she had just witnessed.

        “Sorry to interrupt you,” Kay said, but who are the other guests?

        a shrilling voice came as an answer OOOOooohh a campfire! How cuty pooh! Wait till Sha and Glo see that, we could have some roasted marshmallows and pork chops! I’m feeling soooo hungry…”

        “Great… So much for our little secret expedition,” Claude sighed as he woke up.

        A Pacific island then… she thought

        Let’s move there…
        She could feel her ghost body hover, like a feather sucked into a whirlwind.
        She had to be confident she’ll snap back right at her lying body when she’ll be over with the trip.
        Trust that everything will be okay. As it always were. Will always be.

        She could see the Earth from above… The Pacific Ocean, its huge vastness, delimited by coasts of lights.

        Oh, of course, she had not thought of that, but it was night there. She could see towns, concentrations of which were twinkling like shiny stars on a dark sky; but she didn’t want towns. Far too crowded, lots of energies that were maybe intoxicating at first, but she could feel she would be worn out in a second.
        For, as she traveled in spirit, she had access to so much more information than people usually get with their physical senses alone,… it was hard to explain.

        There… in that dark patch, when she moves closer, she can feel the immensity of the ocean surrounding everywhere. She moves closer to that long island that must be New Zealand, because she doesn’t want to be far from any sort of indication of her location. Keeping an eye on this, she spots something which isn’t a city light. It’s dancing, like a fire.
        How can she spot a fire at that distance is beyond her understanding, but she has learned not to question, and act upon her impulses.

        She wills herself at the fire.

        Waves, the peaceful sound of the waves.

        Around the fire, she can see a dog, crouched near a thoughtful man; there’s a young girl too, with a little white rabbit in her lap. The girl’s parents are resting in a hug, and a man with a strange energy configuration, the like of which she hasn’t seen, is closing the circle.

        What a bunch of interesting people…

          Becky was undecided. Add to the last entry? Or start another? Grinning wickedly, she started another.

          Her second impulse selection was a slightly late coincidence, but a coincidence notwithstanding. It was about Sand Dragons . A Few days previously Becky had been to an auction. She bid for and won a first edition copy of Wisp magazine; it had cost her an arm and a leg, but she was delighted with her purchase. It would increase in value, and was a delight to read some of the first published articles of the many authors, poets, artists and photographers who would later become famous. The article about sand sculptures had reminded her of the T.R.A.P. day out.

          Well, how about that! exclaimed Becky, reading the rest of the comment. Wish House is one of my most favourites, and I chose it by accident!

          She read:

          “Illi used to play a game with Cranky (as she affectionately called nanny Chraddock) in the long months while her parents were away, called Wish House. Every room in the sprawling Elizabethan house was a different time and place, and the moment they entered the room they imagined themselves to be different people, in other times. Petunia Duster the maid loved to join in too; consequently not alot of housework got done, but with Gus and Flora always off travelling, nobody minded. Playing was, after all, so much more important than dust. In fact, a thick layer of dust made the rooms all the more mysterious and magical.”

          Becky ran her finger along the dust on her desk and smiled.

          OH! Becky jumped. I almost forgot to make a note of the number, now what was it? she mused, scratching her head. I think it was 171 :notepad:

          Becky wondered whether or not to start another entry. Intuitively, she chose not to. Her third random choice was another synchronicity with the first edition of Wisp: it was about pyramids in Spain. The first edition of Wisp magazine was particularly valuable as it was the first mention in print of the discovery of the Iberian pyramid culture.

          Number 835 she noted :notepad:

            Sure aliens… Why not aliens? Becky said with a funny maniac laughter that sent chills through Tina’s back.
            After all, we’ve been talking to dead people for so long, we’ve forgotten all about alien lives… I want to believe!

            Well, Tina shrugged in complete abandon, I suppose that would not be your last eccentricity after all… But now that Al starts to believe such utter nonsense is beyond my understanding. I think I need to get more sleep too.
            See you tomorrow, and have fun with your rugrats darling pooh… she said with a sugary smile while closing the videoconf window.

            Phew… Becky sighed, with an anxious side glance at the silent cradles that may not stay silent much longer.

            The rugrats have names you know Tina, she said, more to herself than to the benefit of anyone else.
            And hell if I remember what they are now…

            Much to Arona’s surprise…

            Although I don’t know why I am continually surprised, she thought, surely I am getting used to this weirdo story by now.

            Well anyway, Arona found herself standing outside of Malvina’s cave. She was still so caught up in the last warm remnants of her delightful reverie in the field of flowers it took her a few moments to realise that the entrance to the cave had disappeared and was now a solid wall of stone.

            Hmmmm, yes, said Leormn, appearing in the nick of time to answer her unspoken question, Yes, Malvina has been shifting things around again.

            I can’t get in though! complained the ever astute Arona.

            No, agreed Leormn reflectively, you can’t. Well there is another entrance, but this has only been disclosed to an elite few. He smiled smugly.

            Passing through the security cordon of the giant spiders had been relatively easy, thanks to the indications telepathically passed down to them by the Snoot .
            With Anita on her back, Yurmaela the gruffoon had come back to the borgulm tree where Claude had been left to watch. After a moment of surprise at the unexpected apparition, he didn’t take long to decide whether he wanted to stay or not and had jumped on the broad back with the little smiling girl who was grabbing on the coarse hair of the beast.

            Keep you energies and your attention close to us, said Yurmaela Just like Akayli is doing with your parents, Anu. Though they have plenty of eyes, the giant spiders mostly rely on their energy perception, and they won’t see you if you stay within our energy field.

            A few minutes later, they were all standing in front of the growirling wortex, partially masked by the bark of the huge babul tree, which was standing out with its massive appearance. Flames of what seemed to be dark floating matter were pulsating very slowly, enhancing the thumping sound of their hearts.

            Ready to come back home sweet Anu? Akayli said fondly to the little girl?
            Yes, it was so much fun you all came to play with me… I’d want you to stay with me.
            What do you say? asked Claude They ain’t coming?
            This reality had a special design which allowed us to project very easily here said Yurmaela very softly in that reality of you, and Anita and Akita; as for now, the barrier in that reality is thicker than it is here.
            But we are always present around Anu, you know that said Akayli kneeling down to wrap his spotted furry arms around the little girl
            Yes I know she was smiling And I miss my parents too
            So let’s go, the wortex will close any moment now

            It had been a week now. Georges had fully taken his role as Shu-Lom, the eleventh Gate in the Council of the Guardians. His mergence with the actual focus of Blöhmul was fading out ; the transition had been smooth, unnoticed by most of the Guardians, even his closest friends. Georges was careful not to display any unusual change in Shu-Lom’s attitude, though some of them were showing signs of suspicion, especially… his own focus, Sinadron who was the most susceptible to be aware of the difference. Georges had been avoiding him since his arrival, but he would eventually have to face him for one of the rituals soon to begin.
            Of the eleventh other Guardians, only 2 were considering him as a friend, Doh’Maar and Vogel. Most of the others were ignoring him during the sessions and Sinadron were despising him. Well, technically he was despising Shu-Lom and the change would not make things go easier between the 2 of them as the energy of their 2 focuses were sort of repulsing each other.
            Following Shu-Lom’s habits, he was heading to the public baths, but contrary to him, he was going during daylight. He needed some answers. He had been feeling strong tensions between the Gates, and there were also underlying feeling of discontentment and anger among the other Guardians. For the first time in their history, unknown groups of their kind were attacking the other races and provoking them and generating feelings of fear, even amongst the Guardians.
            The man he was following would give him some of the answers. He would have to befriend him first though. Noraam had a smooth energy, and he would be easy to approach, especially in the dampness of the baths.

            Noraam was wearing an grey cape, attached on his shoulders with carved fibulae. His robe was short, above his knees, and rather dark. He was quite young by the standards of the Guardians and still fiery. Shu-Lom was young too, about the same age as Noraam, but he was quite pessimistic and self-effacing, and especially he wanted to leave, that he did, and Georges took his place.
            Georges suddenly felt a familiar energy, one that he would recognize anywhere, anytime. Salome… rather another focus of her essence. Hahaha, that was a surprise, and he almost lost track of what he was doing. Noraam was already taking the stairs up to the baths. Something about the energy of that focus was attractive, he still didn’t know who it was or what he/she(?) was doing here. Maybe just a projection. He didn’t have time to investigate. Heading to the stairs where Noraam was already being dematerialized and rematerialized to the first level, he heard a child’s voice.

            Can you help me?.. I know you can.

            What again, another distraction… he would be late to the baths and maybe loose the occasion to speak with the other Gate.

            Looking down at the origin of the voice, he was surprised to see a little girl, red hair and amber eyes. As he could see, she was blind, but as he could feel, she was quite capable of seeing things.

            Do I know you, little one? He had not been aware of this child in Shu-Lom’s memories, and he was wondering if he had missed something during his encounters with the original.

            You dreamt of me the other night, but you weren’t here yet.

            Her last words triggered a memory, of him carrying a naked little girl in his arms, protecting her in a way, and he was following a man in his dream, trying to keep track… in his dream, he was rushing and almost lost the child, following also Salome who had already taken the stairs… yes he was here in his dreams, the place and the stairs were the same… as was the child.

            What is your name little one? In my dream you were followed by an owl
            You can call me Ar’Meel.

            :fleuron:

            Sam thought he could write it somewhat differently. With his understanding of Georges’ abilities, he could well have split in two and followed Salome and stayed with the girl simultaneously and maybe even Noraam.
            A smile.
            He was feeling wobbly and wavy. A ripple effect?
            It seemed that there had been a strange recognition between his character and himself. It was like Georges was aware of Sam wanting to change what had happened… or was it a suggestion of Georges?

            It only took a few seconds for Armelle to deflate though she donned off with a hint of reluctance the delightfully filling feeling of power she had acquired notwithstanding the slight overweight (a few grams at best, given her immaterial nature of pristine white hallowy owly essence, but you could not reasonably expect to be really ascended with even no more than a few grams of physicality left, could you?)…

            So, it only took a few seconds, which in essence’s inner time was tantamount to a mere eon (a merry myriad of seconds).

            But then, all was so clear.
            She was seeing the trail that was left unwatched by the spiders, and that her friends would take to the wort-hole.

            Claude, my dear, would you be so kind as to oblige me for a few minutes? she regally asked her host of the branches, taking great care not to be too self-conscious, which would irremediably make her roll her eyes and lose all composure.
            Well… err… I s’pose yes…
            Indeed. Then, take good care of the wort-hole, and wait for us to come back, and then lead us back to the place from whence you came.
            Wouldn’t do that, if I were you… It’s full of magpies there…
            Oh bugger now. Armelle sighed so profusely that it made the hair raise on Claude’s head. The Snoot told me the way would be clear, so… have a little faith in me she said in a cocker’s voice.

            And there, in a majestic elan, she went back to the spot where her friends were now gently getting together.

            :fleuron:

            When she arrived, Akayli the were-lynx had just been deposing his precious package of the two silk-wrapped parents at the feet of little Anita. The first minutes of doubt passed, her hesitant face started to show a smile, knowing that her parents would be fine.

            Yuki was for himself all very impressed by the transformergence of his friends, and was finding that a very good idea to get more focused.
            However, he could hear the yet unvoiced protests of Armelle at his yet unphrased suggestion of a mergence
            Now way I get my white feathers mixed in that bloody smelly goat’s fur!
            And of course, he could hear too the yet unvoiced slew of outraged protests
            Smelly goat? Who you bloddy call a smelly goat, you persnickity saucer-eyed shuttlecock?

            Yet… Yuki, gazing for a few seconds of essence in the stream of possibilities, weighted again the enticing result that a mergence of the three of them would produce…
            Which would be… a… grabbiffon.
            A magnificent winged horned cotton-tailed… sort of… gryffun… or grumpfoon.
            Well… perhaps Armelle was right in the not-yet-voiced first place.

            That would just be plain ridiculous.

            So… what are we waiting for?! Let’s do it now!! all three of them laughed in unison :D =)) :creating_magic: :buffoon:

              His teeth had been nudging him for a few days, or maybe a few weeks actually. Last Wednesday, Yurick and him had a chat with their friends Michaela and Elias, and Yann told them about his questioning.
              Now, he was wondering about what was the meaning of all that in his new understanding of his reality. He was having the impression that he was in a complex video game and that at the beginning he hadn’t been told about all the fun stuffs he could do in it. Many aspects of this video game were unraveling and still he was feeling cold feet about jumping ahead.
              Yann was noticing that his teeth were nudging himself mainly when he was doing certain things, like judging himself, finding himself unworthy, trying to force himself in certain directions, or to force his body. It was like his body was an amazing communication device from him to himself. It was continuously giving him information, not only about his environment like temperature, smells, lights and images, but also about what would have been hidden like weather patterns, mass excitement or balance, mass tension or release…
              Elias had told him and Yurick that their energy was constantly open to each other, in a continuous merging and exchanging process. They were quite aware of that now, and at the beginning of their relation it would have been overwhelming, but now it was really fulfilling in many ways. Even when they were not in physical proximity, they would be together and feel each other. But they were also more centered upon themselves and they were not as influenced by the mood of the other as they had been ;)) they had reached a more balanced relationship and were beginning to intensify the movement.
              Yann had also begun to be aware of a humming tone, inaudible, but very present. It was humming under the veil of this reality and he had been told it was one of his language of communication. This was very intriguing and it was overlapping his interest in his body and his teeth, he was wondering about the effects of this humming tone on them.

                Ms Beryl?
                — Yes.
                — Tell me more about this whole sneezing… You can’t be serious about that deposition. You have sworn on the Book of Flove, and perjury is a grave offense.
                — I know that, Sir.
                — Perfect. And notwithstanding, you maintain your deposition.
                — Notwithstandingly, I do Sir.
                — That will be all.

                A few days later, the case on what happened of the time-travelling goats was close owing to blatant lack of evidence.
                Some later said that the judge fondness for the annual Fainting Goat Fair won his leniency, but that would be another story…

                — Who are you? said Alana. And how did you get here?

                The man who was standing before her was smiling mysteriously. She was staring at him, hoping he wouldn’t notice the hint of fear on her face. What was puzzling her most was that she didn’t know who he was working for, was he an agent of the Baron? It was quite unlikely. The French man Langlade had always been working alone since his misadventure with Harry, and the Baron wouldn’t double his agent if unnecessary.

                — My name is Andrimiñ. And as of how I got here… let’s say I know how to get through :) What matters is that I’m here to offer you my assistance…

                His smile was quite hypnotic, and she almost lost track of what was happening (very unusual of her) when a few knocks on the door and Mr Isashi’s voice reminded her of her guest.

                Are you all right, Aunt?

                The man was staring at her with his blue eyes, she had a strange feeling and she knew she had to move quickly.

                Aunt? Is there someone with you? I heard a man…

                — I can show you how to activate the skull, Atiara. And help you with this man.

                Suddenly she knew she could trust him. Something in his last words… there was much unsaid, and the name he gave her… she was having the weirdest feelings about it. As if it was perfectly fitting. She smiled to him, her tensions released. He was now looking at the door.

                — Bring our guest in, Mr Isashi.

                The face she turned to the door was full of a new strength, mixed with a strange feeling of familiarity.

                You have summoned us, Master Tfark
                Yes, young Piawan

                The magpie known as Robert X was standing in front of a glowing bluish light emitted by a glass ball full of sand nearly as big as the gnome standing before it.
                Inside the ball, one could distinguish a century-old-looking figure, so fat it was almost indiscernible from the pile of cushions on which he was seated in a lotus-like posture. On the forehead of the Master, a third eye was visible, its gaze piercing you through your flesh.

                How is our matter proceeding, Hex?
                Well enough, Master. All preliminary stakeout has taken place according to the plans. We are only waiting for the right conditions to strike and rob the item without being noticed.
                Very well, Hex…

                The three-eyed Master Tfark scratched his chin pensively.

                A convenient surge of atmospheric energy is coming your way, I suppose you are aware. I hope that you’ll make good use of this. Our clients are very eager to get this item back
                Yes, Master. You shall not be disappointed.

                And with that, the communication was ended.

                Robert X stood in front of the now inert communication device, visibly preoccupied.

                Sir, you didn’t mention the disappearance of our guest, did you? asked Robert K
                There is nothing yet to report. Let’s do the job and we can quickly leave this place. Next inter-dimensional window will be opened a few moments after the cyclone, that should work out perfectly.
                Sir, yes Sir. Ready to lift the energy cloak as soon as we are ready to strike.
                Perfect then… Remember, without the energy cloak, we’ll have to solely rely on our magpies shifted appearances.
                I know that Sir, this is not my first mission, Sir.
                Very well then. Is there something else?
                There is another thing, Sir.
                What?!
                Some trouble with the bee-keeper I fear

                It had been a moonth now that Elizabeth had got her first encounter with Pigoosus, her inner inspirer, on a dirty bench of the public park littered with pigeons droppings.

                A whole moonth, and yet, it had been so full that she had barely noticed it passing. Even Finnley, the ever grunchy grumpy one, had felt ubiquitously absent (Elizabeth was quite fond of Lemone’s profoond quotes, and his consummate uooze of exquisitively bizarre words; so, “ubiquitously absent”, oxymoronic as it was, for all matter and purposes felt deliciously adequate to her present mood).
                So, yes, even Finnley… who had felt recently so deeply absorbed by flocks of dust bunnies that went around the corners.

                As for her, the grandioosa noovelist, she had used the inspiration of that day to take a break from that strange story she was writing, and which had accumulated so many loose ends that she’d grown yucky at the mere sight of a dish of spooghetti.
                Instead, she had written a small unpretentious (as far as she could, that is) novelette, or children book as her publisher said. Of course, everything a little bit out of the ordinary was only good for children, and in fact, she couldn’t care less. She had tremendoose fun writing the Extra-vagrant Illustrated Tales of The Oogletoon Twins. Not only writing in fact, but also illustrating that intermission work (which was a first, as she had mostly the habit of doing coollages of various pictures teafed around, hence her fondness for Robert the robber magpie).

                Notwithstanding, this was an interesting adventure for Elizabeth. Life was full of surprises, and she wouldn’t have thought that in becoming more “down to Oorth”, as her parents would have exhorted her to do, so to spook, she would have indeed be really, really closer to Oorth, but nonetheless, still in fairy land. Ahaha, that was putting her in the greatest of moods.
                She smiled a broad smile to a fidgeting Finnley who was under the glowing neon light of the dark copy machine room, apparently in great conversation with some invisible being, as she went past the room, on her way to her office.

                :fleuron2:

                Checking on her compooter (her gorgeous iPear) she noticed an email from Barash… Another publisher that she was considering working with, when her current one had felt hesitant at publishing her illustrated book.
                Decidedly, everything was going well for her these days.

                In the middle of the Aborigines Village in Tasmania, Sam was carrying a heavy wooden pail of kangaroos shite to spread on the crops of the Dreamtime.

                Looking at the scene, a Tasmanian Devil was laughing frantically.
                — Hinhiiinhiiiin, that old woman was tricky wasn’t sheeeeeee?

                He was now standing in front of a huge rainbow-coloured Nanaconda.

                — “Sha! I think I’ve had one of them bloody brainwaves of mine!”

                — “You are the smart one Glor … ‘ang on, I’ll just light my fag then I can listen proper.”

                — “Well you know how Vessie has been so good to us and I still feel a bit awful about breaking that bloody door down.”

                — “We meant well though Glor. Our hearts were in the right places.”

                — “They were Sha … but then her bloke being there and all …. well that dress she was wearing Sha, it barely covered her privates.”

                — “She’s a native girl though Glor,” Sharon giggled, “She’d have grown up wearing them little grass skirts and not much else I reckon …. mind she’s ever so nice though ain’t she.”

                — “Oh she is …. and there’s nowhere to buy clothes on this bloody island neither, she must have to make do, bless ‘er little ‘eart.”

                — “It could do with a mall I reckon Glor,” said Sharon reflectively, “this place would really take off if there was a small mall.”

                — “I think you’re onto something there Sha, oh that would be bloody marvellous I reckon, a small mall.”

                — “Anyway what’s your brainwave then Sha? I’m all agog with curiousness.”

                — “Well I reckon with all the eating and lying around we’ve been doing I’ve gained a bit…. what do you reckon Sha?”

                — “You might have done a bit Glor,” said Sharon eyeing her friend thoughtfully, “you can carry a bit extra though, and it goes to all the right places on you, you look right sexy, I reckon our Harry would think so anyway”

                — “Oh give over Sha! “ Gloria blushed and giggled. “Anyway back to my brainwave … well that Vessie is quite slim … “

                — “A bit on the skinny side really, Glor, needs a bit of meat on them bones of ‘ers to be what you would call proper sexy like us, and very tall with it ain’t she.”

                — “Yes athletical, most of them island girls are I reckon. Anyway, listen up Sha, a few of my things ain’t been fitting so well and …and ‘ere’s my master plan Sha …Da da ….” she paused dramatically, “I thought I could hunt out something nice for Vessie!”

                — “Oh that’s bloody genius Glor! you’ve got a real kind heart you ‘ave! You’re a bloody saint even … did you ‘ave something special in mind?”

                — “Did I what Sha!” Gloria’s eyes were shining with delight at her own generosity. “You remember that pink frock, the one I wore when you and Harry got ‘itched, with the wee roses on it. Well I bought it with me! I thought you daft fool! when I packed it, what you taking that bloody thing for? … I reckon it was my psychic abilities I got ‘anded down from my Aunty Philly, God rest her soul, made me bring it.”

                — “Oh you’ve still got that frock! That were bloody gorgeous …. well bless your bloody heart Glor!”

                — “Well its got sentimentical value of course,” said Glor looking serious. Her voice lowered, “ Between you and me though Sha, I do feel for that poor girl. I mean she’s pretty enough .. but she’s got no bloody idea how to make the best of what she’s got. It’d be a bit on the short side mind …. but I don’t think she’d mind that, not if that last dress is anything to go by, and I’m right handy with the needle and thread if it needs any fixing” she paused for a moment thinking, “Sha! I think I’ve ‘ad another bloody brainwave! We could give her a full beauty makeover, the bloody works, with all our beauty know-how … that lippy she was wearing ..” her voice trailed off and she shook her head sadly.

                — “Wrong shade of red weren’t it,” Sharon nodded understandingly. “She’s going to have to make a bit more effort if she’s to keep that bloke of hers.”

                — “Well I’ll ‘ave him any day,” giggled Gloria

                — “Oh you’re bloody wicked, you are Glor! If your Joe could ‘ear you now! …. ‘ere you’ll ‘ave to fight me for ‘im though! … ere,” she said looking around and lowering her voice conspiratorily, “maybe we could have one of them threesomes!”

                — “Oh stop Sha, you’re too bloody much you are!” spluttered Gloria, barely able to control her mirth. “Serious now though Sha, that Vessie might be a bit overcome and shy like, with all our generousness and kindheartedness, we have to make sure she knows we ain’t taking NO for a bloody answer!”
