Druid Enigma of the Valley (#3676)

Owner: 0xaC3B…074F

The witch Enigma was making a potion and she noticed that it had started to bubble.

But it was not supposed to do that. But something started to rattle the the bowl.

The witch had the potion, and the bowl tipped over, and she noticed a blob of green and it had started to talk.

It yelled at the wtich saying "I am Fred, listen to me now!"

And so is the birth of Freddy the Slime, as told by the young artist who drew the accompanying art!

Interlude - Diary Entry 54

Today was such an incredible day!! Today I met an entire coven of witches and wizards, and they were so nice!

They did not push me down when they saw I was different, and they even made room for me at their table. I had never dined with so many happy people!

I've wandered this realm for so long just looking for a place to call my own, and here it was, just waiting for me!! They even liked my cute poems!

Fred says he thinks everyone should love my poetry, and I'm not inclined to disagree!

Anyway, I was wandering the western coast in search of sea shells to add to my collection when I came across a wounded kobold resting in the sand. Immediately, I ran up to him, muttered a few healing spells under my breath and made the kobold right as rain.

I wish you could have seen the look of appreciation on his face!! He was SO CUTE! I really wish I had more kobold friends! Anyway, it turns out he was actually a member of a small coven of misplaced wizards and witches, and wanted to take me back to throw a feast in my favor.

When introducing ourselves, the kobold wouldn't tell us his name, and asked to simply be called Mooshums. How could I say no to that?!

Since Fred and I have been wandering rather aimlessly lately, I decided, why the heck not, what did I have to lose? Anything is better than going back to the swamps!

And gosh, was I right!! It was a short trip from the beach to the coven's tower. A beautiful stone mage's tower hidden amongst a copse of trees, and a small creek bubbled past nearby. It was rather beautiful, and had to keep myself from getting distracted as I followed the kobold into the trees.

After a few confusing turnarounds in the woods, we managed to find the entrance, and the kobold let us in.

Once Mooshums had introduced us to all the other witches and wizards, everyone gathered in the main hall, which was a beautiful but rather small stone room, packed to the brim with picnic tables.

Bold tapestries hung about, and candles floated by. Magic was in the air, and I don't think it was unusual around these parts. Many times through the night I found myself drifting off in thought, fascinated by the beauty and confusing perspectives of the tower.

With a clap of his hands, Mooshums managed to quiet the rowdy room, and stoop up on his table to address the group.

"Today, my life was selflessly saved by our beautiful friend Enigma here," he said, pointing in my direction.

"A swamp witch with healing powers was the very last thing I expected to find, but I really found so much more. On our travels back, she revealed herself to be kind, caring, and very loving. Her friend Fred," he said, pointing dramatically to my lovely slime pal, "on the other hand has quite the foul mouth!" He erupted in giggles, held a tankard high up, and everyone followed.

The next three or so hours were filled with hugs, food and stories of adventures that were probably made up (Warriors walking through the burning flame?? Like, really?), but I still loved every moment!!

It was at this moment that I realized I had finally found the family I was destined to have. I could feel the love, the understanding, all welling up inside of me, fueling my light.

By the end of the evening I was literally glowing! At one point, I even managed to heal someone's halitosis just by standing next to them!!

All in all, it was a successful evening, and I don't remember passing out. When I woke up, I found myself still in the tower, in a cute little room with stone walls and pictures of flowers on the nightstand.

Accompanying the picture was a small scribbled note that simply invited me to stay for as long as I want. I'm guessing it was Mooshums, but so far, no one has fessed up to it, but I don't mind!!

I should decidedly stay here, with the followers of the Runes. Fred has already made himself right at home, and I already have visitors stopping by my room. It really is everything I could have ever asked for. Thank our lord and savior, Dotta, for helping me find my family!!
