destroyed their gardens and most of the livestock. It was an awful time and there was much suffering involved. The gnomlie wizard Algor Palgon called on Faazen to help, and he cast this illumination over the Seia Woods thus insuring the safety and livelihood of all inhabitants. Now there was harmony and peace in their midst and enjoyment of life once more. It brought Faazen joy to see Algor and Jessa Palgon secure with all their gnomlie friends.
“Gentlemen, let us make a quick stop to Castle Kinnledge. I would like to introduce you to Algor Palgon. It will only be a short while. I have to discuss a few things with him and then we will be on our way to Blackshire Festival.
They walked on until they saw a small castle ornately trimmed in gold. The foliage that surrounded Kinnledge was in full bloom and pale yellow roses and vibrant bluebells lined the castle walkway. Two gnomlie children were playing in the garden Nearby was Algor Palgon, trimming and clipping his hedges in a neat row..
Faazen clapped when he saw his friend. “Algor! Good morning, what say you this fine day! Busy with gardening I see.”
“Hello! what a surprise Faazen,” the gnomlie wizard looked up with a smile. “Come in he said, maybe Jessa has some cool lemonade for us. I see you have some guests with you She told me you were entertaining.”
“Hello young men, how are you today?” The minute wizard was elegantly dressed in a cream-colored robe with colorful braiding on the sash.
“Nice to meet you Mr. Palgon” Thomas said extending his hand, Zach just nodded.
“Just call me Algor, everyone does. How is your visit to our kingdom?”
“Were okay” Zach said, “going to Blackshire Village I guess?”
“Ah yes the Dragon Masters Championship will soon be here. I am thinking you must be one of the riders. It is a race for the young and the high-spirited. I see a spark of mischief in your eyes lad.”
Thomas smiled and tousled Zach’s hair. “Yes he’s mischievous alright. I’m Thomas Wellington, Zach’s grandfather.”
Algor grinned, “Grandfather, hmm; I would say you look a little young to be his grandfather.”
Faazen spoke, “yes, he took a dip in the Hyperion Lake, and you know the rest my friend.”
The small wizard smiled. “Oh I do, you have to be careful with those waters. Long ago powerful spells cast on these waters meant the outcome could be good or evil. I think it depends on the person, something like that. Either way, do be careful. Could take a swim in there and come out one hundred and fifty years old!”
Faazen motioned to Algor, “Maybe Jessa would like to show our guests your beautiful orchards and gardens. Us old folks can sit here and rest a bit; there are a few things that I would like to discuss.”
Jessa poured everyone cool glasses of lemonade in crystal goblets. A thick slice of lemon floated atop each one and a sprinkling of sugar sparkled around the rim. Thomas and Zach walked off with her as they enjoyed their beverages among the variety of fruit orchards. Their children JuJu and Mackie brought over a small plate of jam cookies. They were quite pleased with themselves as they played host to their guests
Faazen and the gnomlie wizard had their heads together; both gesturing with their hands. Algor started pacing back and forth intently; therefore, their visit had a few serious overtones. Jessa tried to be pleasant but Thomas could see the concern in her eyes. Zach seemed oblivious and was busy eating cookies and sipping his lemonade. Still he couldn’t help but wonder what was going on, he kept it to himself and that gnawing feeling returned in the pit of his stomach.
“Here I am gentlemen.” Faazen broadly smiled as he motioned them over, as it was time to leave.
Algor and Jessa waved goodbye, “Safe journey to you,” they said in unison. The gnomlie children ran up and hugged them goodbye, and brought a carrot for Zach’s pet horse Brownie.
In that instant, Faazen whipped around and
