I would ask Jacy for her opinion but she is a catatonic vegetable due to a recent frontal lobotomy. She had it coming so do not feel too bad.

Hey! Before this IV kicks in...I'd just like to know which of my mental disorders you are trying to rid me of?

I already know your answer: Yes.

Why is everyone talking to themselves in here now?
Why are there spiders on the wall?
Why is....
zzzzzzzzzzzz

I was going to say, "Ask the nurse for a pill", but it looks like you did already. Don't sleep with your mouth open, that spider is still loose somewhere. Wait...where did he go?

Not really trying to cure them, more like minimize them for the rest of us.

Just make sure you give her a helmet and a drool cup. A shiny piece of foil would be nice too. It will keep her entertained.

Continued from last two posts on page 302

Garren the woodland boy was taken by the Witch Queen to the black palace. Storm communicated through telepathy that he would look for Syx and other dragons for help. Maybe he could even find others to aid in their plight. Night Star, Wolf and Hugo along with Aria and Pesky listened to Delayna and her advice to seek out the hidden library, but before they could question her, she had disappeared. "Um...Night, wasn't Garren supposed to lead us to the library? Like, are we supposed to magically know where this hidden place is?" "Yes and I was going to ask Delayna, but she seems to have disappeared rather quickly. She's good at that. I don't believe any harm will come to Garren. The witch needs him to lure us and others who hear of this to her dark den and will delight all that befalls us in the process of getting there."

Hugo's black fur glistened in the sunlight, his emerald eyes always watchful. He scratched at the ground revealing a root from the nearest tree. It reached up and wrapped around his large powerful paw, like a hand. He could sense it communicating to him. It was an ancient soul like many of the other trees that brought the forest to life. More roots came above ground wrapping themselves around Night and Aria's hands. The roots showed them in images that farther into the forest there was a majestic stone building, partly in ruins, but mostly still intact. It was the secret library. The roots unwound themselves from the companions and returned beneath the soil. Hugo looked to Night and Aria and in unison they replied. "We know, we saw it too."

The white wolf was acting strangely, whining and jumping up with his paws around Night's neck. He was usually so strong and brave and patient. "What is it boy? What troubles you so?" He communicated his thoughts and feelings, memories of years passed when things were easier, beautiful and carefree. A time when there wasn't so much chaos and darkness around every corner. So much had been taken from them. They were free once, roaming the land, playing in the open fields, exploring the world around them and for a long time now things had changed and were so very different. Their very existence transported from one realm to another and they lost touch with so many of their soulmates from the shed.

Aria's ginger hair spilled forth into her face as she lowered her head. Her gossamer wings folded close to her slender body. She was an elf herself, only with wings. She could hear Wolf's thoughts and they touched her deeply. Her life was magical, beautiful and free once too. Her heart was heavy, yet she held on to the hope that these beings had given to her. She knew that Martin and her friends were on a quest to help too and wondered how they were.

A chubby older woman made her way to the group with a basket full of food. Her course green hair sticking up in all directions like the woman never heard of a comb, much less ever used one. Dried leaves were entwined in her locks. "I am the guardian of these parts and you are in need. Rest safely before you travel any farther. You will need your strength."
The elves sensed no harm and the group gathered for the little feast. Night allowed Wolf to lay across her lap and stroked his thick soft fur trying to give him the comfort he so desperately needed. He licked her face and rubbed his head against hers. Hugo was teaching Sky how to fly and Pesky joined them with delight. The little dragon laughed with such joy that Night and Aria couldn't help but to laugh too.

Continued from post above.

As they approached the castle, Garren could see it was magnificent in its architectural design, but dark and foreboding. It was made of black onyx, with sculls hanging on black metal posts and black dragon statues surrounded the palace along with hideous gargoyles. As they entered the courtyard there were black stallions and upon their backs sat knights in black armor with gold shields and helmets. Even the roses in the courtyard garden were black. One of the men dismounted and took charge of the boy dragging him by his shirt into the great halls and deep down black spiraling steps to the dungeon below. In complete silence the black Knight slammed the metal bars shut and locked him in.

Torches lit the gloomy area. Garren looked around surprised that his cell was rather roomy and had furnishings and even a bookshelf filled with books. How very strange that such an evil entity would be so...accommodating he thought. " Don't get too excited youngling. The books are mine, all mine and so is everything else. They only added another bed because they knew you were coming." Garren looked around but couldn't see where the strange voice was coming from. "Who are you? Where are you? Show yourself!" Out of a darkened corner a strange little creature appeared before him. "I am a dungeon goblin. I built this place and I live here and I happen to like it here. Don't expect me to be your friend cuz It aint happenin'. And my name is Jojopo, but you won't need to use it because I won't bother with you." His little crooked greenish grey body moved slowly to a chair at a desk in the middle of the cell.

Garren was in awe. He had known of many creatures, but not a dungeon goblin. What the hell was a dungeon goblin anyway, he wondered. Jojopo snuck a look over his shoulder at Garren. "How old are you anyway, 10, 11 years old human child?" The boy smirked. "I thought you weren't going to bother with me, sudden change of mind?" Jojopo narrowed his eyes inspecting the child. "I've never met a child in here before, my curiosity gets the best of me sometimes." "I'm almost 12 and I am very curious myself and have many questions if you don't mind answering." replied the boy. "Nope, no time, much to do." "You're in a cell in a dungeon in a castle locked up...what is there to do that is so important?" The goblin sighed and ignored the youngling. His head was bent over and he was intent on scribbling on some parchment paper with strange symbols along the edges.

Morning Syx, old chap! Yes, British is the term which says it best, although I also answer to "Hairy bastard."

How are things with you?

a reply to: TrueBrit

Hairy bastard. Ahahahaha!

Morning you hairy bastard! LOL


I haven't been to bed yet.

a reply to: Night Star

Oh! Pixie people staying up late eh? What's the world coming to!

From You; "From tiny acorns mighty oaks grow"
That's right BUd!
Here Ya go Man...

Here YA go Cody. An Oak in it's growing process. Acorn bursting to a Sprout first...

Man you just hit me right in the heart

That first video was strangely compelling, as a cabinet maker I love working with wood.

But over the years, maybe I lost some of the respect I used to have for the materials I use on a daily basis, that respect has now been fully restored.

And Syx my bro, that means one thing only.

When I return to work it will be with a renewed vigour, a new respect, and a new attitude.

I think I'm a born again carpenter

Thanks man

Cody

Night - I love the newest story entries!!! I've got to get cracking on mine

Jacy


Hope everyone is having a great day!!! Oh I got a call from the Dr. My appointment got moved to tomorrow. I will be so glad to get this over with!!!

Cody

Good day everyone.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I've been keeping up with everyone's posts, but I'm a bit behind in commenting and complimenting them.
It's been a busy couple of days and this is my first chance to sit and properly respond.
There have been too many posts to individually respond to, (also I tend to mess that up in a long post. lol)
So if I don't address you please know I've read your writing and enjoyed it.

I'm glad I'm here. You are all a lovely bunch of people and I'm pleased to have met you.
You are also very witty and funny too. I truly appreciate that.

NIGHT STAR: Great story entries. (as usual) looks like things are moving toward everyone coming together for a big moment or two. (I think )

I enjoy everyone's stories here and am always happy to see new posts to read.

I do have a continuity question. I may have made a mistake in my understanding of location of The Shed in my story. I can easily fix it because my character is a bit of a good heated idiot so it's easy to explain his mistakes.
That being said here is my question that perhaps some long time Sheddites can answer.

I know the origin story of the Shed. I've read the tale. Then Accasia was discovered and new adventures for The Shed crowd began.
So my question is this. Is the Shed only in Shedland? Or has it physically moved to Accasia? Or is there a place on Accasia where all the Shed clan can gather. The Shed II or Shed Accasia. My character was walking about thinking he was headed for The Shed at one point. But perhaps the Shed is not on Accassia, just the people from it.
Again it's easy to write an explanation for my mistake into a story. My character is a heroic and brave idiot.
Thanks in advance for any direction or explanations anyone may give me.
I have a new chapter in my story coming soon. Just have to once again do some technical things to make it work.
(I sense the spirits of many Shedders crying out at once "Oh no! Not Again!" )

a reply to: Errollorre

Hey Errol,
I would help you, but I'm not exactly sure myself. (about whether the Shed is in Accasia or not)

When I first found The Shed, angelchemuel told me (in my story) that I was in the Land of No Time...so maybe Accasia means that...?
Sorry, got a headache but too bored to just rest my eyes, lol.

I'm sure one of the others can clear that up later. Please write some more though...don't let that stop you!

a reply to: Errollorre

Yes, The Shed got transported to Accasia along with all its inhabitants. It was a story line from Pheonix that brought us there. Still all the magic and wonder and craziness of the shed. Once we came to Accasia we all went out to explore our new realm and we sort of took different directions, meeting up occasionally. We could all come together to battle the witch and her minions and continue from there or if one prefers, they can just continue on with their own story lines. Anything goes. I can't wait to read more of your stuff and that of others!!!!!

Good morning dear lady! Did you enjoy your anniversary?

Um...I'm an Elf. I thought for sure the ears would give it away. LOL

Oh my ATS Anniversary thread is still ongoing and I laughed and cried and am so deeply touched. It even brought a couple of lurkers out of hiding. Like, wow! LOL

I'm still laughing over the hairy bastard thing! Ahahahaha!

a reply to: Martin75

Yes you need to get cracking my dear and make a story entry. Did you see where Aria our ghostly winged elf mentioned you?

a reply to: cody599

Oh I know, weren't Syx's vids cool? If you have an avocado and put the giant seed in a glass of water, you can watch as it slowly opens and a shoot comes up and then it gets it's first leaf and then another...amazing to watch nature up close like that. Then...you plant it in soil in a pot and have yourself a tree.

Hiya Jacy Darlin'! I believe we were at war in our original realm and it threatened the planet, my memory sucks big time. Anyway, Pheonix had a story line that brought us to Accasia. I call it another realm rather than a planet. So the shed and all of its beings and creatures ended up in a place called Accasia. Just as the shed has always been with magic and wonder and adventures, interesting creatures and story lines and challenges and all.

Now heal that headache of yours and get your pretty little head into making an entry soon. I so love you and Sophie and your humor.

Sorry folks if I get carried away making a couple of long entries one right after another. I find that late at night or rather in the wee hours of morn, I am wide awake and most creative then. I also use mood music to enhance my inspiration and I could just go on and on. Twice I had to stop myself from making a third post. You know, I didn't want to hog up more space than I already had.

There have been many times when I'd write myself into a corner thinking ok, now what? Then I'd get writers block and my characters would sit there stagnant just waiting and waiting. It was like they would call out to me to release them so they could continue on their adventure. I could almost see Pesky my little pixie with her hands on her hips and words pouring out a mile a minute yelling at me to move my butt and get on with it.

a reply to: Night Star

Ahh, there's our superstar!!

Hey sweetie, thanks for the reminder about Accasia's locale, lol.
My head's still pounding and I refuse to go lay down. I'm really struggling for words so if I'm all awkward and fumbly I sorries...lol... (the last part I said in Sophie's voice in my head, lol)

Don't apologize for leaving multiple responses in here! It's so nice to come back and find stuff to read from any of you! You're storyline is great and I'm really enjoying it!

jacy xoxo
