Blue Fire ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part VI – The Three by Four Chapter Twenty-Eight – Approaching the Keep MoonChild looked over at her friend As a knowing glance her way she sent Together they watched the Keltoi witch Stir her brew and prepare a breakfast She tsk’d tsk’d her way through Refusing help from either two Scrumptious smells of her skill Wafted towards them until She had before them laid Savory meat and eggs Flavored with many an herb and spice Over a bed of wild brown rice Digging in they thanked their host As this was a feast to boast As they enjoyed this delightful fare Lilith described the village with care Including the castle’s daily schedule With the routines of the guard’s vestibule. As their breakfasting came to a close Both MoonChild and DragonBlue arose Began their exploration of the community Through vendors yells and yield aplenty. They headed toward the third tower In the north to release the power Of the talismans magick that would lay Open the scrolls of the ancient ones way To the portal that led to where they must go Aligning with the vibration’s flow Facing once again the dark wolf’s rage As they released those held within his cage Of darkness that threatened to overwhelm Any who strayed within its foul realm. As they approached the castle’s keep Noting the guards were in receipt Message from a noble coming today Keeping their stance in business foray. A runner with scroll in hand to announce Arrival of one who warranted flounce Of the trumpet blare to bridge the moat Escort a noble of special note. After they had lowered the channel to pass There was an explosion coming from a blast From the direction of the patrician’s path Leaving confusion scattered in the aftermath. While mayhem and confusion ensued Crossing were MoonChild and DragonBlue Onto the castle’s grounds and trails That led to the keeps natural rails. As the steep switch backs wound Them up, then down around They saw a shadow cast by a torch Ascending as their way was then forged. It was none other than Lilith, their new friend Red hair a-flying around her at each bend She spoke not a word but led the way Into the castle’s secret parley. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Part I - Chapter 1 - Merlin's Gift" To start at the beginning of this story I have provided the link to chapter one above.
