The Shed 2

Well, it appears that Rip Van Foss slept through a couple more pages worth of story.

I would have added some more content of my own, but this week is a little...interesting, as I've been putting in some late hours.

Today, however, was really interesting, in that I drove through my first hail storm. No damage to the car thankfully, but I'm pretty sure a tornado went through, close by to where I was. The sky was grey-green, and with the wind, rain, and hail, you could not see anything within a foot of your car. I'm not going to say it was fun, but it was a bit unusual.

Hope everyone else is alright, and Night, your hand's being held from the Astral.

Hi guys

Just checking in..............................Having an awesome time with the kidlings

Been to London...............The new forest.....................Cornwall.................back in the new forest now.

We've done all sorts of stuff, from sight seeing to surfing and playing silly buggers in a really cool tree top tarzan style experience......................Today is go karting and shopping then the afternoon with the family in Bournemouth.

Tonight we're having Christmas a tad early and off to a theme park tomorrow before returning home to finish the London bit.

Hope this finds you all as happy as I am.



Catch you all soon

Cody, I'm glad You guys are having a good time! Nice lookin' bunch you are there too.

True, good to see Ya!

Night, Hi cuz!

Jacy, check in would Ya?! Been a while and I'm concerned for You.

CC, You going to pop in today?

Speakin of pop in, TDawg, you out there?

Mura, Gimme, Rod, Above, anyone else around?

The Stroll:


The next day,"Guys this sittin around is drivin' me nuts!
I gotta get some air. See ya all in a while."

"You do that Syx, we don't need you being any more nuts than you already are!" CC replies.

"Ha Ha CC."

Syx says as he heads towards the cliffs. Thinking to himself, 'It's only a short walk. There shouldn't be any problems for me going through these woods for this little way while alone.'
While walking the 100 or so yards towards the cliff, Syx is awestruck by the serene surroundings. 'This is really a nice place. I may have to return here in the future. But for now, we have a map to conquor. Does Gordy have it?' He ponders.

"Speaking of Gordy, is that the name of one of your lost companions Syx? He entered the woods a short time ago." A tiny voice said in broken english.

"What the, Who goes there?!" Syx exclaims.
"Step out where I may see You!"

"I am out! I'm down here." the tiny voice spoke, while giggling.

"Who are You and how do You know what I think? And how do you know to speak my language?" Syx asks in bewilderment.

Looking down at the forest floor, Syx sees a tiny 'Man' standing with hands on it's hips, staring up at him. "I am called 108. I can by nature read your mental images and know your spoken language because I have been observing You, and the rest of your traveling companions. There is one amongst you who is Two! Hug the Dawg I believe he is named?"

Astonished at this spectacle, Syx answers while nervously laughing, " His Name is TDawg. And we have also noticed he is acting very strangely lately. You say he is two? And why are you called 108?"

"Yes, forgive me, The TDAwg seems to be posessed of one who is not noble. We detect a negative force in that one. He is not well." 108 mentions.
"I am one of thousands of my kind. Number 108 to be birthed actually. I am almost 500 of your years of age too!" 108 Boasts with a wide grin across his face, tipping back and forth from toes to heels with his arms folded across his chest. "We fix problems before they are!"
"Fix, Fix, Fix, Fix......" Is heard from dozens of other tiny voices.

Syx sits down on a small boulder next to the path. Dozens of little people come out from under the leaves of the nearby bushes. Trying to process all the new information he has gained, he rubs his temples. Gordy nears! But what of the rest?
And he thought this would be an uneventful little stroll......
______________________________________________

Telling 108 and the rest of the small clan he must take his leave, Syx once agin heads for the cliffs. Thankful for no more interuptions and once there, he takes Dragon form and dives off! Stretching his wings fully, he glides down near the surface of the crashing waves.
Turning slightly he glides right above the water. After several yards, he turns upward towards the fresh mid day sky.

Taking a few wing beats to reach a lofty height, Syx feels rejuvenated! He soars back towards the island and circles the woods looking for his lost friend. While up there he looks out to sea and notices True's ship appearing to be heading to shore, but not seemingly moving?

'That's odd.' He muses.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees movement in the trees below. 'Gordy? Perhaps so! So the little guy wasn't lieing about that at least.' He thinks as he banks towards the movement.
Swooping down to treetop height, he glides over the canopy. Looking down and seeing Gordy trekking through the woods, Syx angles back up into the sky. 'He should make it to the others, as they are not far from him now.' he thinks happily of seeing his lost friend.......

a reply to: jacygirl

Hi Jacy! CC and I just got back from a short walk.
Glad it wasn't longer, pain wise, but it's always nice to go strollin with er.
I should really do them more often. But can't stand the Freakin legs burnin'! LOL!!!

Nice to see You!

As far as the story, Was antsy to write!

Jacy hope your headache is going away nicely? I gotta fly. Maybe on later, not sure.
See ya soons I can.

See Ya all later, maybe. If not, see ya's in the mornin'. Syx.

Night Star and wolf were restless as well. They couldn't seem to stay away from the sun sparkling sea. Once the initial shock of icy coldness wore off, they frolicked and played like children bobbing up and down in the crashing waves. Night Star lay on her back floating with the rhythm then swam a bit and floated around some more. It was so invigorating and the salt always felt healing. Suddenly she felt she was on a big rock, but it was moving. It moved to the shore with the elf still on it. Soon, she discovered it was no rock at all, but rather a huge turtle.

embarrassed, she stepped off and apologized. The turtle poked his head far out of its shell to get a good look at her. "Oh, no need to apologize fellow sea worshipper, no need. I just came out to lay my eggs, but it was nice to meet you." It slowly struggled through the sand and left.

Long wet hair plastered against her head, she walked along the beach soaking up the sun and hoping to dry off quickly enough. The sun seemed to fill her with life and light, like a flower thriving under its existence. She breathed in deep the sweet summer air.

a reply to: Night Star

Gah!

Hello! Sorry for the lateness of this reply! I had not realised that you yourself, had replied, and therefore the unfortunate series of events which has thus far prevailed, was set in motion, resulting in this extremely belated response!

So....

How are you?

It's jolly humid again down here in Essex, and I have to say, I for one am getting a bit sick of it! Luckily I am off to a rock festival on the 7th so I shall be engaged in pursuits which will distract me from the excesses of the Sky Tyrant!

a reply to: ccbears

Greetings ccbears!

I hope that all is well with you, and that whatever painting escapades your other half is involved in, that he manages to return to you in a state which allows him to walk in and sit down without worrying about marking the furniture!

Hi Guys! I'm back from a day of painting and assorted chores.
I told my 'Boss' I felt guilty being there because as the day wore on, the less I was able to do.
My back was out, and the leg burns got worse as the day progressed, till I was at the point I wanted/needed to be back home, laying on the couch. He understood, but let me do whatever I was able. Not much. I told him to keep the pay I 'earned' but he gave me something of a token pay anyway. More than I wanted, but accepted almost all of it, at his insistence. I'll make up for it next time with him and the guys......

Hope eveyrone has had a good day?

Nice entry, as always, Night!

True, no paint on the couch, this time! LOL!

Trying to wake up here. Where is the damned sunshine???

Hello people!

a reply to: Night Star

Good Morning Night! (Sliding a fresh cup of Coffee to Night. Then flying around over Night's House to break up the clouds......)
Here ya go. Drink this sunshine! LOL!

Good Morning to everyone else!
