Lost and Found

You Lost Them?

Fitheach Eun jumps back as Talia reappears, wand spitting sparks

Fitheach Eun: “Talia, where are Fiesty and Savage? And the Inspector?”

Talia.Sunsong: Darned if I know. They were right there in the Fairy lands

Talia.Sunsong: Then we had to leave because the pixies didn't like us, well me trying to milk a unicorn for cream

Fitheach Eun: You mean you lost them?

Talia.Sunsong: So I used my wand to take us all away from the fairy lands

Talia.Sunsong: looks at bent magic wand

Fitheach Eun: Us?

Fitheach Eun: I see you and only you

Talia.Sunsong: Maybe I was a bit short in my magical reach...
Just then a blackbird flies up and lands next to the seagull....

Home Sweet Home

Fiesty said a rare hobbit curse as she emerged from the transport by Fae Talia’s bent wand. She sat in a briar patch and everything hurt. After disentangling herself from the thorny plant she stood and took stock of where she was. The area looked nothing like the land that the airship had last been in. She muttered under her breath and began to panic. Then she stopped herself and said “I ain’t an archdruid fer nothing.”

Fiesty Meditates

Fiesty took a seat on a nearby rock and meditated. After she got herself grounded she stood and tapped her staff to the ground. She requested the earth spirit of the land to guide her to the place where the airship resided. This took some time because she had to visualize the ground below the airship. Finally she had an answer. It was to the west and far away.

Fiesty sighed and started walking in the right direction through rocky desolate land. She continued on until she came upon a path. The path ran generally East/West so she started making better time. Presently she came to a forest. The trees were thin to start but began to grow denser as she went further. She enjoyed the sense of the forest and her connection to the earth spirit. She encountered a blackbird and gave it a message to Druid Fitheach to say she was on route.  

The Forest Grows Dense

Eventually the trees blocked out the sun and she was aware of a fog rising. A little further on she caught sight of a strange goat. It was not like any goat she had ever seen. Its coat was black and its eyes flaming red. Now Druid Fiesty spoke goat as well as blackbird and the greeted the goat with a bray. The goat stared at her and winked. Fiesty heard the goat say in human tongue, “Greetings Archdruid Fiesty Lotus.” Fiesty stopped, shocked to hear not only a talking goat but one who knew her title and name. Fiesty took stock of the goat and determined it to be an otherworldly creature. She said “Well, um who do I be adressen then?” 

Meeting the Pooka

The goat answered “I am called  Pooka or púka, I live in the woods and have been around for some time. I come to greet you Archdruid Fiesty and offer my services.” After hearing the creatures fine speech Fiesty was not fooled, she had heard of pookas and their mischievous ways. “Well now, that sounds fine. What you gonna need as payment fer them services?” The goat grinned, (a strange sight) and said he would like to be freed from the forest. He said he was tied to the forest by custom and the only way he could be freed would be by taking employment from a powerful wizard or Druid.


Fiesty tapped the side of her nose and was skeptical. She said “If I employ you, will you do harm to any?” The pooka shook his head and answered the he would not. “And will there be repercussions from the forest or whatever keeps you here? The Pooka replied “No, Mam.”

Fiesty considered employing the supernatural creature. She asked what he could do. The Pooka replied that it was a shapeshifter and could take on many forms. Fiesty asked “What kinda forms is that?” and the Pooka answered, “I can be a horse, cat, rabbit, raven, fox, wolf, goat, goblin, or dog.”

Changing to a Horse

Fiesty thought a while more and asked the Pooka to change into a horse. The pooka changed into a large black horse complete with saddle. Fiesty said “Well, that tears it!  Fiesty Held her staff and communed with the forest. Then she said in formal tones “I do hereby take you Pooka into my service, let the Earth Spirit witness this agreement.” Then she asked the Pooka (now a horse) “Take me to my friends in the West.” The horse nodded and she climbed on the Pooka’s back.

Riding the Pooka

As soon as she climbed on the Pooka reared and said “Freedom!” and began galloping at full speed toward the West. The ride was rough and Fiesty was not used to riding a horse. She asked the Pooka to stop and he ignored her, after a few more miles and she commanded it to stop and it still ignored her tearing hell for leather along the path. Fiesty moaned as tree branches whipped at her head and held on for dear life. The ride took many hours but they did arrive finally at where the airship docked. Fiesty slid of the Pooka and was too sore and tired to even yell at the beast. She stumbled to her quarters with a quick nod to Druid Fitheach and dropped face down on the bed.
