The Elf – Quest goes on:
It’s been over a year since we had news from our Elves on their Quest to find a solution to the weather problems. Nothing has changed since then – the weather is still crazy and extreme. We had a long cold period this year and now, in May, the weather is extremely hot and dry.
The Astronomer’s white owl flew to the Day and Night sisters and told them that the Wizard needed their help.
The sisters were happy to help. They welcomed the Wizard and accompanied her part of the way to the Misty Mountains, where the White Seer lived.
But the Wizard had to go the last part of the way alone. It was a tedious journey.
Up in the mountains were the ruins of a castle. People said that the White Seer – a very wise Elf – lived there in seclusion guarded by her magical white dragon.
Her companion was a Mushroom Gnome. The gnome was the Elf’s only connection to the outer world. It brought her everything she needed and, what was more important – it collected the mushrooms the elf needed to eat to bring about her visions.
The Mushroom Gnome saw the Wizard in the distance. It was very excited because life in the Misty Mountains and in the ruins was quite boring.
The Gnome welcomed the Wizard who told it about the Elf Quest and its purpose. The Gnome had also noticed the changes in the weather. The precious mushrooms had become very hard to find as the weather was often too dry for them to grow properly.
The Mushroom Gnome accompanied the Wizard to see its Mistress – The White Seer.
The Seer had the explanation for all the crazy weather phenomena. The four elements were angry and not in harmony any more. The Elves had to find the Elements and convince them to come together and be friends again. They all had to got to the castle of the Queen of the Elves and dance there together. The Seer also gave the Wizard some advice.
It was not easy to find the Elements as they did not show to unknown people. The Quest would be very long and difficult. On the way to each Element they would find 3 magical creatures to help them on the way.
Each Element had a companion. They must bribe the companion with a gift because this was the only way they could get through to the hiding place of the Element. The bribe was very essential as the little companions were quite cunning but also greedy – they liked presents.
The Wizard’s next stop should be a good Witch that lived in a nearby forest. The witch would provide the presents for the companions and also advise the Wizard how she and the other Elves should act best to find the Elements.
This is Lunnula Moonbeams – the Witch.
The witch applied her magic to provide the necessary information and the gifts.
So stay tuned for more elvish adventures.
…. Behind the scenes.
