Tena saw the travelers first, telling Her friends they decided to hide.
Giggles and shh's emanated from a large foob berry bush. The four friends,
Tena , Charlotte, Kaf, and Iptna, all settled down as the travelers came
close. " Flint, I'm trying to figure this out and I'm telling you we are
nowhere near palanthas, we're going to kaytath." exclaimed a bearded man.
Tena noted he had a weird accent. " listen Tanis, all I know is we're not
at kaytath and we should be." A dwarf, apparently "flint", said. They
walked past still bickering followed by two knights and a mage! This
brought little gasps from a nearby bush that went unnoticed by the three
but not by the two that followed. A kender, which was not uncommon, and a
white hared elf, which would have brought gasps if they hadn't stopped in
there tracks listening. " You hear that?" asked the kender. " Huh. Must be
the wind.." The kender looked around. "FOOB BERRIES!" the kender leapt
forward at the bush concealing the three girls and began striping the bush
of all that was eatable.
Tasellhoff at the sight of his favorite food, well not his favorite. He didn't have a favorite. Although he really liked kima ravaloinys. But one of his favorites, leapt toward the bush. Picking, devouring and getting utterly purple He didn't notice at first the fore pares of eyes staring at him. " Oh hi! Do you like foob berries to?" he said when he finely did notice. The fore girls stared, more then a little nerves at being caught, with wide eyes at the kender before them " what are you staring at?" asked Tas looking behind him. " Do I have something on my face?" all three girls looking at the purple juice nodded in unison. "Oh." By now he had attracted the attention of goldmoon and riverwind. With wittel standing in the background Goldmoon approached with a gentle smile, riverwind stood behind her with a frown. " What are you doing hiding in a bush?" she asked with laugh. " Um.." began Tena but was interrupted by kaf. "Eating berries!" " Yeah the best ones are always on the inside!" added iptna.
After noticing that they we're walking alone, flint and Tanis doubled back to find out what happened to their companions. " Fore girls hiding in a bush eating berries." Was raistlins response. He didn't sound to convinced. Tanis approached the girls, which by now had come out of the bush looking embarrassed and a littel scared. Tanis kneeled down so he was eye to eye with a blond hared girl of about ten. " Hello, my name is Tanis half-elven. What is yours?" the young girl head down answered. " Iptna." "And who are your friends?" " Charlotte, Tena and kafrin." Each nodded their heads in turn except kafrin who came up and shook the half-elf's hand and said he could call her kaf. " All rite. Do you know how far it is until the nearest town?" "Uh-ha. Follow me!" and at that she ran off down the road.
Tanis sighed. Finely, a settlement. A bed tonight and a meal for taste not conveenus. As they entered the village they were greeted by a flock of sheep and a rooster who seemed to be in charge of them. A few children stopped to stare and continued on their way. Men and Women gave both warm smiles and looks of suspicion. A brown dog gave each traveler a thero inspection before going to it's own busness. The young girl named kaf turned. "Is there any thing else you'd like to know?" Tanis smiled, this child was not at all shy and very eager to help. "Only to tell us which way an inn is, and then we'll be on ower way." Answered Tanis. "That way." She said pointing down a road. "Thank you." And with that they walked off. Kaf turned to her friends. " Gran'ma is gunna have a fit." Said Tena when the last of the travelers had left their sight. "Not if she doesn't know." "But she will." "You're telling?" "Yeah! That was really dangerous!" Tena answered. "Oh you're no fun!" kaf began to pout. Tena ran towereds her Granma's house followed by her friends, kaf a little slower then the rest.
When her grandahter finished her tail eina asked for a description of the travelers. All the children began explaining at the same time. "Please. Please. One at a time. Charlotte." "Well." She began. " There was a bearded man with reddish hair and.. A dwarf. Two knights! I think they were knights. One had a mustache. And a red robed mage. A man and a woman in animal skins, a lot of animal skins. A kender. And an elf with white hair and freaky blue eyes!" " White hair? That's unushwell. All white?" eina asked. " Yup! All white gran!" this time Tena answered. " How old was she?" " um.. Twenty?" Tena was unsure. " She was not! She was probably hundreds of years old! She jest looked twenty 'ceus she's an elf!" this time it was kaf. " I know that!" Tena said indignantly. The two children began two squabble but silenced at grans voice. " I know of only one elf with white hair before her age, though I didn't see her with my own eyes. My mother when she was your age saw her. The elf looked to be about ten herself, though as you say kafrin she wold have been much older. My Mother was playing when a small wagon train came to town. Nine men, that was all. All except the young elf girl with white hair. While the men were getting drunk at the tavern she poked around there wagons being careful not to draw the ation of the one man who stayed behind to guard. He wasn't paying much ation. He was mumbling to himself about always being the left behind to guard. So My Mother didn't worry too much. None of the wagons were very interesting except one. If My Mother wasn't trying to be so quite she probably wold have past it by without a thot. But as it were she heard a noise. It was faint, sounded like someone crying. She stood on a crate and peeped into the window, and there was a young girl. " What's the matter?" she whispered. At first she thot the girl was human. But at her voice the girl jumped and looked around, and My mother noted her ears. " qui?" the elf asked. " Are you ok?" The elf spotted mother throe the bared window and came up it. " Humen?" she asked "Yeah?" "Oh! Phlease ellp!" she had a heavy accent, and sounded desperate. "What happened?" "Phlease! Thay hurt me. An- " she looked away as if ashamed and didn't Finnish. "Don't worry I'll help. Ware's the key?" but she didn't seem to know enough common to understand. My Mother stayed with her all night and into the morning. But ultimately the wagon train left and she still didn't know how to help. Her parents didn't believe her and so they were no help. She and two of her friends set off to help, but could not find the wagons agen, and the wagons never came back." Eina finished her story. All fore children were staring in wonder. "Do-do you think it's the same elf?" iptna asked. " I do not know. But I wish to find out. Take me to her."
Sorry it took so long. A little problem in the story happened when the girls hid. Originally they hid in a black berries bush. Then I remembered that it was cold out. So I was trying to find a berry that came out when frost was likely to be and didn't find one. So I made up foob berries. Hears a description for those interested
Foob berries are a pickish purple and are rounded with what are often referred to as warts all over the berries. When exposed to the direct sun they get a leatherish skin, which many find disgusting. Goblins however will smash the berries and lay them out in the sun and pack it for eating later when food is scares. The flowers, small and pink to yellowish, bloom in the late summer. The berries ripen in the middle of fall. The name originated from the golly dwarf tong. Foobs oot foobs (warts on warts)
