The knights and warrior lion slowly left the great hall. Garren shook his head. There were too many thoughts getting tangled in his head, too many questions and emotions racing around. He lifted his head and looked to the Light Bearer. "Tobias, I wish to do my Parents and ancestors honor by accepting my place upon the throne, but...if I am to be King, what am I king of? I know nothing of the ways of royalty."
Tobias sipped his ale and turned to the boy who had suddenly become a young man with great responsibilities upon his small shoulders. "Why you will be King of this Kingdom of course, its people and land. Do not fear young one, you will have many serving and advising you. There will be higher ranking officials to teach and guide you. I myself will remain here if it is what you wish and continue my studies and good works."
"What Kingdom? What is my Kingdom called? Where are my people?" Night Star could see he was struggling and reached over to hug her poor overwhelmed friend. "Garren, your people are near. I sense them. I sense their excitement, joy and happiness. They have waited a very long time for your return."
The Light Bearer handed Garren a parchment paper with a colorful and decorative coat of arms and swirling leaves around the borders. It showed the name Alandias, the name of the Kingdom. HIS Kingdom. Tears fell silently from his jewel-like green eyes. He never knew his Parents, what they looked like or of their personalities. He could imagine the great sorrow and tragedy of the past and the darkness that invaded the light and beauty of Alandias and its people.
Pesky came out from hiding behind Night's hair and landed before the young man. "Why are you crying? You just became an heir to a Kingdom and people of the land are rejoicing. It is time for celebration, not tears." She wobbled for a moment before landing on her butt. The sight of the drunken little pixie made him smile briefly, but his sadness soon returned. He thought of his companions, of their wondrous adventures and battles where they fought victoriously, side by side.
He thought of Night Star, the beautiful, wise and magical Elf, Jojopo who was unlike any goblin he had ever encountered who decided to join the light instead of darkness like the rest of his kind. He thought of the rainbow winged wildcat Hugo and Wolf, the beautiful white wolf, their faithful protectors. He thought of Storm the majestic dragon and Sky the miniature dragon they raised. And...Pesky the annoying yet loveable little pixie he grew so fond of. How could he leave them all behind? Garren wondered what the future would hold for him. Could he really be King? What if he failed miserably? On these things he reflected and still the tears fell freely from saddened eyes.
Night Star took his hand and held it tight. "I sense great joy and contentment for you here in the castle by the sea. One day you will know this to be true." The storm had passed and sunlight came streaming through the stained glass windows and across the highly polished wooden floors illuminating the great dark hall and all who sat within.

I've had these two cats for just over the past year. These two will not let you out of their sights until you get a chance to leave. Before I moved out of my old house. Prince would sit either at my bedroom door or sneak into my room if I would leave the door cracked and lay in my bed. He wouldn't move until I would get home if I went anywhere!
Thanks!!

Just a couple of videos from Tuesday..........
Slowly, and I mean SLOWLY, making its way east towards Hinton, West Virginia. W063, at least I think that's what it was, rolls through town while spraying weeds along the tracks. Felt sorry for the guys up on top that had to work the sprayer booms.
Coming up behind the weed sprayer about ten to fifteen minutes later. CSX 4707 leads an eastbound manifest through town as it rolls on towards Clifton Forge and Richmond, Virginia.

The companions, needing time to be alone together had gathered in the courtyard. Autumn had arrived in Alandias in all its magical splendor. Cool winds blew through colored leaves making them wave like little hands in the air. Garren surveyed his surroundings and could feel the presence of his lost loved ones all around him. He could feel their sorrow and regret, but most of all he felt their deep, undying love. It filled his senses as he sighed deeply.
Hugo approached Garren, colorful wings and silken black fur glimmering in the light. "You have been raised by the Guardians of the forest. They have taught you well the ways of the world. They have made you strong and brave and have taught you kindness and compassion. They have taught you of the natural world, of nature, its flora and fauna, of battle skills and honor. You will not falter, you will not fail as King."
The soon to be King could almost sense that it was true, yet he longed to stay with the friends he knew and trusted for so long. "Will you all stay here with me as advisers and protectors of the realm?" The white wolf padded closer to Garren and put his massive paw on the young mans leg. "It was you who chose to help us at one time. You never let your age hold you back as you were wise beyond your years. You carry a strength within you that always carried you forward into the unknown. You were Always ready and willing to face whatever lie ahead. Whatever you need or desire will be here for you, you don't need our help my friend, though one day, we may need yours." Wolf stepped away and sat on his haunches watching as Jojopo approached the young man.
"Do you remember when we first met in the Witch Queens dungeon? I was rude and obnoxious and though under cover and just playing a part, you didn't know that. I was not kind, yet you persevered, accepted me and even put me in my place when I needed to be. I think I loved you like a Son even then, right from the very beginning. Now...our paths are changing and we must each go our own way. It is the way of life, but our paths will cross again. The goblin sat on a garden bench and wiped the tears from his eyes.
Pesky was the next to speak. Small wings fluttering as she landed on a flower near Garren."I guess I should apologize for always being such a pain in the butt, but I am a pixie after all. I have to say that it has been a pleasure having you along for the ride and all. I will miss you like a Brother." She kissed his cheek delicately and yes, even Pesky wiped tears away from her face.
Night held Garren in a tight hug, both of them crying uncontrollably. "She took a deep breath and gazed into his beautiful, soulful eyes. "I've no words, they seem to escape me at the moment. How could words ever express all that I feel at this moment? Surely they would tumble over one another and not make any sense at all. Oh Garren, how I have cherished our time together. I love you so much and I am so very, very proud of you. You will always be here in my heart and in my thoughts. Always." They clung to each other, not wanting to let go, but Night broke the embrace. "Storm and Sky are on their way. They will be here for the coronation. None of us would miss this for the world." She closed her eyes tight trying to fight the deep sorrow that took her breath away.

I had a rough night and thus am not out at the multiple birthday parties my wife is bringing the kids to today. Threw out my back while grocery shopping yesterday and caught a bug from the restaurant we ate at. On the flip side that does mean that I have some time to catch up here so . . .
Also last night, I kept waking up due to pain in my back. Once sometime between 1 &3 am, I saw someone rocking in the rocker in our bedroom (out of corner of my eye). Since my wife typically rocks the baby in the living room, I thought something was wrong so I looked in her direction to ask her what was wrong only to see the rocker empty and still. I dismissed this out of grogginess and imagination, but later it happened again. This time I distinctly saw someone sitting in the rocker with a pen or pencil in their left hand and a notepad in her right. I say her because she had long hair and was wearing a dress.
I told my wife this morning and she thought it was her mom whom died this past year of brain cancer, but her mom was right handed.
Anyways, that is me today.
