On the Rocks

The sky became overcast and the wind picked up as they headed out along the shore of the lake....
Picture
"At least this is easier going than through the forest..."
Picture
"Yes, or over the mountain passes."
Picture
Picture
"We should reach our next camp by nightfall."
Picture
"I just hope it doesn't start to rain..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
​But their luck held out, it didn't rain, and they finally arrived at their next camp just as the sun went down...

"This looks delicious!"

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"More pancakes, anyone??"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Well, this has been delicious, but the sun has been up for a while now, and it's time to move on."

"Yes," he sighed, "we have a long way to go today."

Together in the Wilderness

8/14/2022

3 Comments

 
Early the next morning, while the Elves were still asleep after their arduous trek the day before,  Winston and Saphira went off together to have some private time alone...
Picture
"This is a really beautiful place!"
Picture
"It sure is."
Picture
"It's one of my favourite places..."
Picture
"...and I wanted to share it with you."
Picture
"I'm so happy to have met you."
Picture
"Me too.  All our lives we thought we were the last of our kind..."
Picture
"...and now there's two of us!!"
Picture
"But we better head back..."
Picture
"I promised Willie I'd help make breakfast."
Picture
So they started back towards camp...

The little group headed through the forest.
Picture
 ...and soon found themselves in the mountains.
Picture
Picture
The terrain became ever more treacherous...
Picture
..as they made their way through a steep rocky pass...
Picture
"This way!!"
Picture
Picture
"Are you sure??"
Picture
"Yes. Just follow me!!"

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.

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 think?"

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 anymore!"

Dinner in the Great Hall

8/8/2022

3 Comments

 
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....
