The Chronicles of Pendragon
November 7 in the third year of the reign of Talorgen The First
The Clan has been divided on
whether or not to venture forth, on moon beams, to the Auld Country. It
is hardly possible to decline such gracious invitations but there have
been serious doubts about the availability of moon beams being
available for the return trip. Even tonight the moon has shrunk near to
half - not the best time for unseasoned travellers. Assuming that the Clan lieberry
is correct in providing the information that the moon phases are the
same as in America and Oz, November 25th will be the next day travel
will be possible. Our Laird and the Empress Grace would have no
problems because they have trod upon the moon beams often, nor would
the Wizard Istari, but what of the younglings.... Might danger lie in
the north skies? And what to pack? Wild water flows freely in the Auld
Country and falls from the sky. Fearsome idea: water falling from the
sky! Compounding the indecision
making is the need for a Roil to comfort huedad in his time of need and
the disaster brought about by a mass bathing inflicted by wicked
stepmother. WendyO is most adamant that her furs have been ruined
forever and trims made under her tail mean no boy will ever look at her
again because she stinks. The Laird's winter dread locks may freeze in
the night air. Arthur, on the other paw, looks dashing with the deep
dark ebon tones revealed. Sighing wearily, the Laird
spoke
thusly: Valentine, guard the estate! Wart, lower your tail and get thee
to the moon tracks on the garage roof. Lass, stop your kung fu practice
and follow. I have had enough of this squabbling and shall head west to
OZ while you two go to Scotland. In the Auld Country thou both
shall deport yourselves as worthy Roils and not disgrace Pendragon. If
the food is not to thy liking - eat it with thanks. If thy beds are
hard - sleep on the floor. If it is cold - exercise or cuddle with the
sheep. When water falls from above - seek out a tree if the hall doors
are closed. Many Roils went to glory in the
wonders of the wedding of Paris Pendragon and Lady Abby ... as well as
the lochs and standing stones and dragon's breath and castles and
shaggy hamburg on the hoof. Even mini-Roils sang and toured. All
survived. If wicked step mother, a mere
hueperson, could endure the beauty and difficulties, what Roil can not?
There met I the incomparable
Princess Grace - now Empress of the Antipodes. Her beauty leads me to
OZ now. Off , younglings. A great peace then descended on
the Northern Estates of Clan Pendragon as Valentine sighed contentedly
on the Roil bed.
Secundus!
Slow down, plaese Where are we going to fnid Miss Waltrude? Who has the
map? My tail si cold. Nonono Boston. Taht is too near the ancestral
home of wicked stepmohter. Well, a stop at Legal sea food would be
nice. Moonrise was so late we hvae to hurry. To the Dawn Land - before
dawn.
