Hello Bloggers,
Sorry not been posting lately. Here is next excerpt for you:
. The elves looked bemused. “How did you do that?” asked Elgar.
“Just
a little bit of fairy magic, my darling!” she said, as they all set off, flying
together until they reached the old oak tree.
Everybody
back at the old oak tree was very busy.Daphne was gathering up all sorts of
flora and fauna to make a buffet. Petal had started collecting lovely things
for a dress and Lilly was organizing a guest list. Blossom was clearing a small
area by the old oak tree to hold the wedding ceremony. Jack and the elves were
out looking for Tony the owl. He was the one that had performed the ceremony
the first time, but, he was nowhere to be seen. Elgar, Petunia and the others
arrived back and all the fairies rushed over to hear about the chickens. Petunia
told them they had eventually found them living in a cherry blossom tree with a
family of squirrels. She told them that at first they did not want to have
anything to do with a concert, but after a little careful thought they decided
they really wanted to go ahead.
Elgar
said, “Yes, Petunia was a little bit crafty really, she left them thinking,
that we thought, that they thought, they weren’t interested. So we went away
letting them think that, and, just as Petunia had predicted, when she went back
they had decided that they really wanted to do it!”“How clever you are
Petunia!” said Lilly.
“So, have you set a date for the wedding? We need to know because we
need to set a date for the concert.” said Petunia. Blossom replied “We wanted
it in two weeks time, here, at the old oak tree.”
“That’s fine
“said Petunia. “ I will organise the concert for the week after your wedding.” Everything
was set in place, they just needed to tell the chickens and set everything up
for the wedding, there was plenty of time, but a lot to do. At least they have
more time than the last wedding, then they only had 24 hours to organise
everything,
Chapter Two
An Unwelcome Visitor.
Deep
down, underground, amongst the Wah Wah tribe, there was deep unrest. Brucie had
turned against his father because he had fallen in love with a girl that his
father did not approve of. Half of the tribe looked up to Brucie and the other
half were loyal to his father. FF was not having an easy time. Brucie’s
girlfriend was half hobgoblin and half goblin. A couple had got together many
years before, when there was a truce between hobgoblins and goblins and
produced a daughter who chose to live with her mother, she was the goblin. It
wasn’t obvious that she was half hobgoblin except for her ears, but she kept
them covered with her hair.It only came to light when she had her hair done for
the May Day parade in the town and one of the girls shrieked,“My goodness!
Athena, where did you get those ears from? Did the hobgoblins come down in the
night and give you those?”
She was absolutely
distraught and ran off. She never took part in the May Day parade again but she
had confided in her boyfriend, Brucie. The rumours spread around the tribe and
eventually got to FF. He confronted his son, “Is
this true about your girlfriend? Is she
half hobgoblin?” he asked. “Unfortunately,
father it is, but I love her and will not split up with her just because of a
stupid feud that happened centuries ago with the hobgoblins!”
FF replied, “If that is your attitude, then, you are no longer my son!” FF
couldn’t believe he had just lost another son. He thought about Drake all the
time and deeply regretted that he didn’t show how proud he was, when he handled
the chicken situation so diplomatically. Brucie didn’t leave the town as such.
He built a new home just outside the town for himself and Athena.Polly xx
