A Tale of Two Dragons - continued

The continuing tale of Winston and Saphira
​

Welcoming the Elves

That evening the Elves attended a banquet in their honour...
Picture
Lawrence rose to offer a toast..
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"This evening we welcome our honoured guests..."
Picture
Picture
"...the envoy from the Elven Kingdom."
Picture
Picture
"Here's to you all..."
Picture
Picture
"May we soon all become the best of friends!"
Picture

Out in the Garden

Meanwhile Saphira had arrived on the castle terrace. Winston had suggested it would be nice place for them to get together for dinner.
Picture
'Wow!  This looks amazing! How did you do this?"
Picture
"Well, the King and I are good friends. I've known him since he was just a boy."
Picture
"He knows I like to cook, and asked the kitchen staff to make some room for me so I could make us something."
Picture
"It looks like you've been very busy!!"
Picture
"Champagne?"
Picture

Dinner in the Great Hall

Meanwhile, dinner with the Elf delegation and the Royal family was going well....
Picture
It was clear that, other than their size,  they were not all that different from each other after all...
Picture
They all had the same concerns...
Picture
..and the same hopes and dreams...
Picture
...and love for their homes and families.
Picture
 Phairby was also there.  She'd not been able to join the other Elves when they first arrived, or attend the official signing, because her Fairy Godmother responsibilities kept her extremely busy. But she was able to attend the dinner..
Picture
Picture
Everyone was having a good time....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
It was like having dinner with old friends....
Picture

Winston & Saphira

Meanwhile out on the terrace, the dragons were about to start their own dinner. "I was given permission to help myself to the wine cellar, and picked out a bottle of champagne. Would you like some?"
Picture
"Yes, please."
Picture
Winston couldn't take his eyes off her.  Saphira was just so beautiful.
Picture
"Here's a toast...to not being the last dragon after all!!"
Picture
"Yes! Here's to not being the only one!"
Picture

Crunchy Things with Ketchup

They started into the main course..."This looks delicious!"
Picture
Winston reached for the ketchup...and covered his drumstick....
Picture
Saphira watched him.  "Could you pass the ketchup, please?"
Picture
"I love ketchup on anything crunchy!!
Picture
Winston could hardly believe it!
Picture
Saphira seemed to love ketchup just as much as he did!!
Picture

Saying Good-Bye

The next morning the Elf Delegation was getting ready to leave. Baron and Winston had come to see them off...
Picture
Picture
Willie turned to Winston, "Good-bye old friend. It was so nice to see you again."
Picture
"Winston, why don't you come with us?"
Picture
"Now, there's an idea!"
Picture
"You could travel with the Elves back to their Kingdom....and spend some more time with Saphira."
Picture
"But...what about your wedding?? I don't want to miss that."
Picture
"The wedding isn't for another few weeks yet, and you can fly back for it.  I say you go with Saphira. She'd really like you to come."
Picture
"Yes! Come with us!!"
Picture
"So, what do you say?"
Picture

Leaving

Winston didn't need much convincing...
Picture
...and decided to go with them...
Picture
I'm so glad that you decided to come!!"
Picture
Picture
"Me too!!"
Picture
Winston turned to wave...
Picture
"Good-bye!!"
Picture
"I'll be back for your wedding!!"
Picture
Then Baron noticed Phairby...
Picture
"What?  You aren't going with them?"
Picture
"No. I have a few places I need to go first.  Fairy Godmother duties, you know. I'm going to join them later."
Picture
And the two of them watched the little group leave...
Picture
...as they headed out....
Picture
..across the castle ramparts...
Picture
...and through the castle gates.
