To Shadow :-)

I've never thought goblins can be this… ugly.
- Fomi, you've seen them on the computer screen 1000s of times, so…
- But this is real life! – Fomalhaut suddenly grasped and pulled Sabrina's hair, maiking her squeal like an agonising cat – look! AAAHHH! A SKELETON!
- Use this instead of tearing my lovely red hair off! – Sabrina pointed at her best friend's sword while preparing her bow.
- But the game manual says swords aren't that useful against skeletons… and they're so damn heavy…
- Fomi… please, at least give me some back-up! – Sabrina had already killed the skeletons – you still talk too much! And can you please explain why the hell did we have to end up in the middle of the attack of the Academy!
- I might have done something wrong… euh… but you know, I just wanted to meet Fenthick…
- Next time we're going to Beorunna's Well!
- Sabrina and Delvar sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G.!
- Fomi… I've seen him once on the computer screen. And I have just said he's a cute elf, no else!
- But in real life he's surely lovely as well! But never as much as Fenthick…
- All right, all right! – Sabrina raised her hand – but Fomi, if you suggest him even the most slightly something about the future events…

Hey… we're in the stables and no one's here!
Sabrina tried to open the door leading to the Halls of Justice, but it seemed blocked.
- Fomi… I guess the Hero has already been here and Fenthick locked the door!
- Let me try… - Fomi picked up her sword and tried to break the door open, but after two hits she began swearing as usual about her weapon's weight. She quickly tossed it in her magical bag and pulled out a shortsword.
- Muuuuch better! – she smirked.
- Why didn't you think about this before? – Sabrina kept on throwing shurikens against the door when it suddenly opened wide.
- FENTHICK! IIIIH!
- Do we know each other? – he looked at Fomi, unsure what to do.
- Fenthick! – she hugged him without saying anything.
- Is she all right? – he asked.
- No… not at all – Sabrina rolled her eyes.

Fomi blew her nose loudly as they were making their way towards the Great Tree.
- He's so cute and lovely and sweet and nice… ah, I see why Mégane has fallen in love with him!
- Because she's your character, that's why… - sighed Sabrina – whoa! What's that?
- A tree, I guess – said Fomi.
- No… - said Nyatar, coming out from behind the Great Tree – it appeared here this morning… it looks like a pecan tree, but it seems to have its own mind! You see, I tried to pick some of its fruits, but it simply brought its branches up! Then it said "It hurts… I'm not giving you my fruits".
- An ent! Like in the Lord of The Rings! – said Sabrina, thinking she had found the reason.
- Finally, someone who sees! – the pecan tree opened two large branches that looked like arms and several small ones which looked like fingers.
- Who are you? – asked Sabrina.
- Wait... I think I know you... – the ent made two steps towards Fomi. (Nyatar stood firm as a statue, his face showing astonishment and turning totally pale.)
- Do... you...? – asked Fomi, standing as if she had made roots.
- Yes... Fomy!
- How do you know my name!
- Sofia x?
- That's how I sign e-mails and… oh!
- LATERZ! – said the tree – call me The Shadow.

The Moonstone Mask, a bit later

Good drinks and good company!

Sabrina, Fomi and Shadow were sitting at a table. Almost everyone (Ophala too) were standing firm close to the wall: for two young girls drinking in the company of a talking pecan tree are quite a weird sight.
Then suddenly the door opened.
- Uh-oh… - said Shadow – Sabrina, look…
- "Uh-oh", Shadow, you're right… Fomi, you'd better not look…
- Why? – she asked – oooh…
A girl with neck-length dark red hair and deep bluish-green eyes had entered, in the company of a pixie and a hawk.
- MÉGANE! – Fomi screamed.
My heroine! The heroine I made up! Does… does she really exist…?
- Mégane!
- Who are you? – Mégane Fireland turned around.
Fomi gulped.
- Your… mother – she said.

Wait, wait… - Shadow stood up, making everyone else sit down and gasp – Fomi, is this your NWN CD-rom?
- I guess… - Sabrina said.
- But… I think I entered mine! – said the Shadow.
- And we're making confusion! – concluded Sabrina.- This is dangerous… we make a mess inside a computer game! Those clips…
- We'd better go away – said Shadow – and just change e-mails.
- Yeah, I agree… if Mégane is here, then maybe other NWN players come and see an ent, and us, and her as well… FOMI!
And Shadow touched one of his fruits, Sabrina both her and Fomi's clip… and left nothing but small clouds of coloured fog and astonishment behind them.

Mégane looked at her pixie Elenthe and her hawk Thya.
- Thya, Ellie… I knew that girl… I feel it deep inside me…

THE END

Epilogue, a week later

Aah! Never again!
- Fomi…?
- Yes… Niki or Sabrina or whatever, never, never again!
- I told you HotU wasn't a nice campaign to visit…
- A DRIDER!
- Let's finish it! – and Sabrina broke her clip in two – now it's your turn.

But Fomi wanted to hold a memory… and broke in half another clip…
They needed two clips to open or close a portal… if they were both broken, the portal could have sealed. But no… Sabrina broke hers, and Fomi left her one working…

So an unstable portal was left open in the Underdark.

To be continued… in The Green Notebook II.

Author!s comment: I knew it was a silly little story (if I should call it such) with poor writing style - but that's whay I was going for. The II part will have more plot.

Sofia or Fomi :-)
