(((I could not find a good enough connection to the characters of the other story and so have converted the idea into a sequel to Big Yellow Taxi. I missed having Puck and Titania to add to the story, but this does still incorporate Rhonzo, Lummeweiss, Meyers, and Rasputin. Yes, Professor Broom will be making a comeback as will the long-lost twin brother of King Balor . . . a great hero from the ancient days!)))
!Disclaimer! I do not own rights to 'Hellboy' or any of its respective characters, nor did I create any of the characters mentioned in this story that derive from Celtic and Danish myth or Shakespearean literature. I do own and did create the characters Titania Rhiannon Manning, Nadia, Jenna Finkelstein, and Leopold Abraham Sebastian Balor Ludwig Nuada Sapien.

From the Journals of Puck, Vizier and Friend to the King, as it is written in the Chronicles of Bethmoora Royal:
The royal record of Bethmoora and its peoples kept this 19th Day of September in the year 2010 AD (by human reckoning) and two centuries since 'The Great Rift', by Puck the rabbit pwca and personal vizier to the king, in the court of Prince Nuada Silverlance, the King of Bethmoora and the Kingdoms of Magic, the son of Balor King of Elfland; here shall be detailed the current state of affairs of the king, his family, and the kingdom:
Nuada, King of Bethmoora, has been reigning for three years over the realm. He has defeated Oberon, King of the Dark Faeries and the Council of the Wicked, with the aid of his new liaisons to the Western world. The Western world now harbors the largest of the troll markets in the world and the only on the continent of North America lies beneath Brooklyn New York under the supervision of Red Broom, the demon protector once known as Anung Un Rama. The western world's magical denizens have become restless and desire that the island be returned to them alone and that several forests be handed over as well. A recent devastating event in which detrimental fossil oils spewed into the ocean toward the south, prompting the Bayou faeries and Cajun goblins to ask that the king use a great deal of magic to cleanse the ocean and then destroy all humans and their sea-based contraptions at once. While the King agrees with the desire and, had most recently desired to eradicate humanity in general, he has assured the citizens that they must act with caution now that their world is under the scrutiny of other governments. This, like many other issues of smaller significance, is attributed to the King's current focus.
The king has courted the Ostara, Titania Rhiannon Manning, for 17 months and has expressed a need to have her as his wife. The question has not been yet asked, but the king plans to ask for her hand on the festival of Alban Elued on the 21st day of September 2010. The celebration of the sacred coming of autumn will be held upon the entrance to the Fairy Court on the 'Druid Island' amidst the stone pillars forming the entrance. Preparations will begin this Thursday and will be overseen by Jareth, King of the Goblins and General of Prince Nuada's army.
Princess Nuala and her husband, Abraham Sapien, continue to reside in the Americas in a home for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense while Abraham remains an agent for them. Their son, Leopold Abraham Sebastian Balor Ludwig Nuada Sapien, has not yet been brought to Bethmoora Palace since his introduction to the court. His mother refuses to force him to learn of the ways of their people and desires that he learn the ways of the west and his father's work first. He does not speak his people's tongue and the king has expressed supreme displeasure to his sister and her husband. He does not command that she change the boy's education, but he does seem distressed by the issue.
The king's father continues to wander Bethmoora Forest on the 'Druid Island' as a defender and servant of the Scatterhorne Clan. Rumors have reached the former king that Rhonzo, the master scribe of the realms and a hob-goblin healer, peddler, and entertainer has begun a trek toward Bethmoora Forest and toward the palace to give the Princely King the wisdom he had given his father. Rhonzo continues to have in his care, Lummeweiss NiAmeathon, the child of Maeven of Arianrod and Theodemir the First King of the Ostrogoths, in his care. Maven did not wed the human father of her child and the girl continues to be outcast from Elfland and so has remained in the hobgoblin's care since she reached the age of 1,200. Rhonzo has expressed a desire to force Elfland and the magical realm to accept the girl and appoint her to his court as a scribe after having received training from Rhonzo for many, many years as well as many human societies including the Roma.
This day will mark a period of great unrest for the Prince who is King. Perchance the earth will grant him a more peaceful future . . .
