Great. Just perfect. Kenta leaves for some unattended journey and I'm babysitting again. He'll owe me for this one.
Clu's off wandering again so I end up calling on Folly a were-coyote.
As if 3 werewolf cubs wasn't enough, I'm also watching a wood Fae named
Crys.
Anyway, Folly and I deside to show the cubs how to hunt. They chased
away every squirrel and cat in the wood.
Right at the time we start to leave we hear the sound of thunder.
"That's not right." Folly says and before I knew it he had shifted forms and takes off towards the sound.
"Oh great. Come on kids." We chased after him. We don't find him. What we find is Dame Kayrana and Squire Sean.� They both ran right past us.
"Did you make us invisible Crys?"
"No"
"Ok." Now whats eating them I wonder.
A few seconds later an assassin appears. "Hey, who are you with?" he asks
I point over my shoulder to the kids, "These four."
"Four? I only see three."
"Huh?" I turn to the kids "Crys. Cody. Jordie. Where's Trey?"
As I've said before Fate, has a sense of humour, for no sooner than the phrase left my mouth that we hear a woman scream and Folly's Laughter.
The assassin wonders off to do what ever killing he need to do and I follow the womans screaming.
"Get off me you little beast." I find Kayrana trying her best to remove Trey, whose attached himself by tooth and claw to her leg.�
Her sword doesn't
seem to be working.
"What that kid made out of Change?" Folly ask me from the tree he's leaning against.
"You guys! Get this thing off of me!"
I look at Crys. Crys says "Don't look at me, you're the babysitter."
"Ok. Trey!"
"Grrr"
"Trey!!"
"Grrr"
"Food!"
Kayrana get thrown 3 feet into the air as Trey appears in front of me. Who taught these kids how to teleport?
"Hungry?"
"Well you can't eat the kings champion, Trey." I reply.� Folly and I help Kayrana up.
"What is that thing?" She ask as she dust herself off.
"Oh him he's nothing. You should see what happens when all of them are on the attack."
"What is this? You raising an Army, Changeling?"
"No, those are Kenta's kids. I'm just keeping them entertain."
For the distance we hear "Kayrana? Help!"
"I gotta go."
"Now what was that about Change?" Fate intervenes again. One of my adopted Faeries show up.
"Daddy? You got to see this. Its... Its... STUPID."
"Ok Annie. We're on our way."
**********
A few moments later we come upon a festival.
"What's all this?"
"Change you SOB get your butt over here." Another changeling friend of mine. He's a nice guy but has a cursing problem.
"Hello Nic. What is this?"
"This is called Gambling.� Look out there." I look at the direction he's pointing to see The Kings forces in a battle for there lives.
"Care to make a wager?"
Both Folly and I say, "Give me thirty on the King's opponents."
We get our tickets and find us a seat.
"Hey Changeling, sit here."
"Hi Breca. How goes the battle?"
"Not well for the King."
"Okay."
I look around. There's forest fae, commoner changelings, dwarves, a few elves and other assorted creatures watching this battle.� The funny thing is there
a royal Dais out here.� Prince Leonardo DeLeon is up there
with an High Elf on one side and a Drow Elf on the other side.
Either this a very important fight or both the Drow and High Elf are really bored.
"WOAH!"
"What? What did I miss?"
"One of the king's guard just got knocked off his horse by a polearm."
Well, time to watch the battle. Well battle is just one of the optional�terms. Farce would be the other.� From the comments around me, farcewould be
fitting.
"Strategy! you MF idiots! Use strategy!"
"Don't split up it's a trap!"
"Healer look out... Nevermind. Poor Healer!"
"The wizard's in trouble! Run, wizard! Run!"
"Look out! Mad Barbarians!"
We see a assassin's dagger shatter.
"You should have bought Dwarven."
"Hey, there's a kid out there, and he's kicking butt! Go kid!"
This kept on for a good half hour, untill.
"Fall back to Daharahn! Fall back."
Well that was fun.
"All right everyone who bet against the king come get� your money."
I hear the wood elves say, "How could the druid lose?"
Folly answers back, "He forgot to send out scouts. But what do you expect?"
I look up to the Dais to see the High Elf give two bags to the Drow.
"You know those humans were much better off when our kind was on the throne." The Drow snickers.
"In that Dark one we agree.", replies the High Elf.
"Change?"
"Yes, Cody." I almost forgot about them.
"I want a hotdog?"
"Ok. You guys learn anything." Both Cody and Trey shake there heads no. Jordie on the other says, "They're stupid?"
"Don't say it Folly."
"Well, out of the mouth of babes."
