Prompt: That's The Easy Part Rating: K
Summary: Another Patton excerpt re-done.
Today, I was visiting the dragon sanctuary, Wyrmroost! Oh, how this was one of my favorite and quite possibly most dangerous exploits. I shall be sure to tab down the danger when I relay my story to Lena when I return home.
By sheer luck, I managed to stumble along such a community. I had known of such creatures but never once thought I would meet one! Today, I tripped upon a civilization of talking animals, or as they preferred to be called, intelligent creatures.
I was crossing a river nearby when a terrible sea-monster made its appearance. It killed both my companions and left me with a severe head injury and a scar on my arm. If these creatures had not rescued me, I would be a goner, leaving my poor wife all alone.
I missed most of the fight, for my thoughts were still muddy. All I remember clearly is a large bear calling to his companions to take me to his leader.
And what a leader it was! The leader was a massive and intelligent elephant, who was both merciful and unforgiving when it came to many things. She asked me what I was doing so near their home and I gave her a truthful answer. I have learned that when dealing with the magical world, lies will land you in a grave.
What came next was what surprised me the most. She explained that she had a glance of the future, and I was to leave a sting bulb with them of which they would lock away in a quiet box.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but she then quickly explained that the stingbulb would meet with some of my relatives from the future, which sold me. I knew right away she was talking about my nieces, Kendra and Seth. Such remarkable children they are. I deeply hope things have been going smoothly in their own time.
Compared to me, they have the easy part of life! I choose my adventures but theirs are brought on a silver platter they cannot refuse. One of my wishes is to help them more, but all I can do is this from my own time. For now, I talk to this elephant.
She bud me farewell along with a few other hints, which I choose not to say in this journal in case it shall ever fall in the wrong hands. I may share some of this information in the future, but not now. I hope one day I cross paths with these remarkable creatures again! I have a remarkable story to tell my wife.
