The band seemed to sense it was time for a break, because the next thing to happen was for them to put their instruments down and start to leave the stage.
"Is the party over already?" North asked, obviously disappointed.
"No, just a change of pace." Chesh told them as he pointed to a collection of varying spirits making their way to the stage area.
Beautiful woman who wore full-length white coats, a dinosaur like creature with pins and a long neck, a huge black bird, seemingly shapeless creatures, a blue faced older one, a black cat the size of a dog with only one white spot on his chest, a cow like creature that looked to be made of water, an older man who in the blink of an eye switched into the form of a pony then back again, and fiery/ghostly beings that seemed to wither or whisp about.
"Some of them looked familiar." Tooth observed.
"You must have a familiarity with Scotland and other Celtic regions." Tiffa said. "What you see is some Selkes, the Loch Ness monster (or Nessie), the Bodach, one or is it two Brollachan? I can't tell with how they don't have any true shape? Any who where was I, Oh yes, that's the Cailleach Bheur, and the Cait Sith, the Crodh Mara, and Doonie, and of course the Willow of the whisps." Tiffa pointed out and named each spirit or mythic in turn.
Tooth blinked as she processed all the information. In the end Sandy had to tap her on the shoulder to get her attention as the group of Celtic's started playing drums, violins, and other Scottish instruments.
(1) Nessie started to sing of the journey of someone who traveled in some amazing things. However the lyrics also told about how all her travels were nothing compared to someone else. The Willow of the wisps hummed and the cell keys echoed Nessie as she spoke of reaching too high, too far, all too soon. Every spirit and mythic on stage looked up at the exact same moment to gaze at choruses mean top, the whole moon.
The Cait Sith saying next, purring about being grounded while the Bodach went up to seemingly fill the sky. Cailleach Bheur told about being stumped by truths, followed by Doonie mentioned cutting through lies. The Crodh Mara cried about the rain dirty Valley, with the Brollachan singing out about Brigadoon. Again everyone saying about and looked at the whole moon above as the chorus rang through the grounds of the spirit Festival!
Nessie took over again as the music slowed down more than ever before. She saying about wishing for wings with the others humming and singing in the background. The black bird flu about and landed on Nessie's back. They saying about wonderings and guessings, while the one already knew. On and on they saying about this wondrous person who knew everything and still understood about reaching too high, too far, and too soon.
As the fiddle made its last drum everyone on stage and below on the ground looked at the moon. Manny, must have been listening in for he made the moon shined brilliantly bright. To punctuate the way the Moon Clipper was at it's fullest!
The guardians looked happy and turned to share their happy nests with Jack, only to see their youngest was still looking up at the sky. They tried to see where he was staring and almost incomprehensibly they thought they saw something, or someone, staring down from the stars beside the moon.
"Who was that?" Bunny asked.
"The one who saw the whole of the moon." Jack said mysteriously and then would say no more.
All of the Spirits, Myths, and creatures named are actual Scottish and Celtic Mythology.
