Story teller

Come little children come gather around, a story I'll tell you. Greetings I am your story teller. My name is Riftkin. I have been asked to tell you a story.1

Hang on one at a time. Yes, I am a real story teller. Yes, I have travelled many lands. I will tell you a story, about a brother and sister. Now, sit down and wait to be amazed.2

This brother and sister team, are different than most. For you see, Rebbecca is a witch, and Roger is a warlock. Their pet, why that is none other than Merlin. He is a dragon that they found so many moons ago, in the Marsh of the Lost.3

What you never heard of the Marsh of the Lost? Why, it is just past the wizards home in the woods. I know he still gets unicorns to visit him there. For I saw a beautiful white one there just the other day.4

You, children do not believe in unicorns? How is this so? They are as real as I am, and you believe in me. Oh, you want the wizard's name, well that would be Jared. He is a kind soul, and when Rebbecca and Roger passed his house, they had small tea cakes and wine.5

They then continued on their way to the Marsh of the Lost. It was getting dark, when Roger tripped over something. It turned out to be an egg. 6

Yes, a dragon's egg. No, they are not all large eggs. That is just stories adults tell to keep children from going looking for one. 7

You know that the Marsh is guarded by faeries right? No, what do these elders teach you children?8

Well, it is guarded by the three fairy sisters. Yes, I will tell you their names. There is Light, Moon, and Sundrops. Trust me, you never want to meet them in the Marsh.9

Why? Because they turn children into trolls. Yes, really. That is what makes my story so important. For you see, Rebbecca and Roger, did this just over two years ago. Another egg was laid, and none has tried to find it yet. But I know one that is making her way there now.10

Do not worry, out of all that will try, she has the best chance of finding this egg. Why? Because she is a tracker and knows what she is looking for.11

Now, where were we? Oh, yes, Rebbecca and Roger took the egg home with them and within one week they had a baby Merlin to deal with. Such a beautiful blue dragon he was too.12

Oh, what dragon laid the egg this year? A Black Dragon, the rarest of all. That is why many are out looking for this egg.13

Now, let me finish this story, children, as I need to leave soon. Rebbecca and Roger have Merlin. Jared speaks to the unicorns.14

Now, just remember to keep away from the Marsh and the fairy sisters. You will all do good to stay here with your parents.15

What? Have I seen any other strange creatures in my travels. Yes, I saw a bird die by fire only to be born again.16

This bird is known as a Phoenix. I thought it sad when fire consume it. But, the strangest thing of it all, was that a new bird was born out of the ashes of that bird. Yes, I say it again, when one phoenix dies and turns into a ball of fire, another is born from the ashes.17

Now, that you have something to think on, I really must be on my way. There is someone waiting on me to finish my task. I only told your elders that I had a story to tell you. Now, you can decide if you want them to know what I said or not.18

Bye, children, and remember to look closely for there is magic everywhere.
