"Hello all you out there in the lands
between this realm and all others.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Riftkin. I am a storyteller.
This here story goes out to a friend."
"What? You want to know what I mean
by the fact I call myself a storyteller.
Okay, sit back and let the story unfold."
~Riftkin sits down indian style with a smile~
"Come one and all and listen to my tale
that I am bringing forth for Dark Otter's
one year Birthday Bash on All Poetry."
....................................................
"In a time where my friends know I long to be,
there really are dragons, elves and so much more
living still today .. though we may never see it anymore."
~Riftkin lets the mood sit in, of Dragons, Elves,
and all kinds of mythical things.~
"Here is my tale, a small and lovable dragon,
like to spend all his time learning from books.
He had hopes of one day, finding a human
that would be able to help him be so much more.
You see, this dragon was full grown and had dreams
of being as large as all those in the old stories.
What? You do not believe in dragons?"
"I would like you to see Golden Sweet...
Yes, yes I know his name is funny.
But, if you knew him, like I do it would not be so.
For you see, Golden Sweet, loves honey.
He keeps some by his side as he reads about
the wood nymph, Enchantress."
~noises can be heard as voices ask~
"Who is Enchantress?"
"Why does he read about her?"

"Enchantress is the wood nymph
that gave Golden Sweet his very first book."
~voices ringing everywhere~
"What was the book?"
"Does she still visits him?"
~Riftkin smiles and looks around quietly~
"Yes, Enchantress still visits him.
As a matter of fact she was going to
stop by with a friend to spend time with him.
Would you like to meet her friend?"
~all around her she could hear
voices speaking as one~
"YES"
"Okay now.. this lady is shy and
does not like to be seen by many.
So, remember to be quiet and
I will see if the Blue Fairy will come out."
~Riftkin softly speaks to the wind
words none will ever understand
and calls for the Blue Fairy to visit her~
~Slowly the Blue Fairy comes into view~
"Everyone this is Enchantress' friend,
Blue Fairy. She will be meeting Golden Sweet
in just a few minutes.
Blue Fairy, what was that?"
~The Blue Fairy whispered something
to Riftkin that made her smile~
"Sure you can Blue Fairy. You can say
what you whispered to me."
~and with that the Blue Fairy looks all
around every one that has joined Riftkin
as the story was being told and she floated
up to Dark Otter and smiled at him~
"I wish to say, Happy Birthday Bash
for being on All Poetry for one whole year
and making all your friends here."
~with that she vanishes in a puff of blue smoke~
.................................................
"Hope you liked this tale of mine,
Dark Otter, as it was done just to
bring a smile to you."
~with that Golden Sweet, Enchantress,
Blue Fairy and Riftkin all slowly fades
into the pages of the book left behind.~

Just enough of a tale to grab our attention, and enough left open to keep us coming back for more. *huggles*
And he's right, they'd be great for publishing
