Subject: Requesting Personal Stories About Adventures and/or Travels and Other Items in Relation to Dream Board Post #1205

I am in need of numerous stories about any kind of adventure, journey, or travel you may have embarked on be it in this world or your own.

If you've seen my posting on the board, this post is to provide fuller details about the situation. Last month I had been...trapped in a large tree located on the eastern forests, and within this tree are seven dogs which look like corgis. [Have an imprinted image of what the adorable fluffballs look like:]



It all appears to have been pulled in from another world and has remnants of its original magic in place. This magic is a protection spell and prevents the dogs and anything within the tree to leave. Should the dogs somehow manage to leave without it... They will likely die.

Even if it's for their protection, the dogs need and want to go outside. Furthermore, Should something happen to the tree they wouldn't be able to escape. Fortunately, a way to break the original enchantment and cast a new one to protect them as they live in this world has been found. It's simple and requires the following:

• Bee Honey
  
• Fish Scales
  
• Adventure Stories

None of these are specific so it's whatever can be found, though the better quality, the better chance of succeeding. However, because of the number of dogs, a large amount of each will be needed to ensure they are properly protected. It would be better if there was a better solution, but this will have to do for now.

As for the adventure stories, as mentioned I need a large amount so I would like to ask any willing to share any personal stories they had. There are no specifics, but I get the sense the story should have some spirit of exploration and discovery, which would fit the purpose of the spell. These stories will be transcribed in a journal used for the spell.

Finally, I am looking to create a headstone. The tree and the dogs had a guardian before, however he perished upon leaving the tree. The remains have been buried, but a headstone would be appropriate as well.

If you have any questions, feel free contact me. You can drop off the ingredients at the Fairy Doghouse located within the Residential District. There will be a designated bin for the items. [He draws a brief map with directions. The dogs he refers to are the flower fairy dogs that were brought in a while back.]

Thank you.

I have a few stories that I'm willing to share, mostly centered around exploring and fighting. I think they would be entertaining enough to fit in with other stories, at least I hope so!

[flamekthunder]

Both would be suitable for the spells so I will appreciate anything you are willing to share.

[sleightofhans]

Oh, then I certainly have a few stories to share! :)

[No one ever tell Hans about kaomojis.]

They've mostly centered around the time I visited one peculiar kingdom, a place already known it's for cold climate. But shortly after I arrived, it turned from cold to an eternal winter, making it difficult to traverse anywhere in the land.

[flamekthunder]

[> No one ever tell Hans about kaomojis.

This needs to happen. Someone. Anyone.]

That does sound quite the story. Was it a curse?

[sleightofhans]

[True evil will be unleashed then.]

Yes, that would be a fairly accurate description of what happened there. I cannot claim to know all the details regarding the curse, but eternal winter was set by the queen when she lost control of her powers.

[He wonders how much Elsa has told others about the events surrounding Arendelle, but he can at least believe she didn't go around mentioning his involvement. His second chance and all that...]

[flamekthunder]

[Fortunate for Hans that Eustace hadn't met Elsa.]

What happened in response?

[Given the kind of world he's from, the idea of someone or something with high magical prowess losing control of that ability and causing a drastic effect is not that farfetched.]

[sleightofhans]

[Obviously, he helped save the day by being the Worst person. His involvement was definitely important! He'll just leave out the unnecessary details.]

I was mostly busy trying to help the townspeople by offering them blankets and defeating any ice monsters that formed from her powers, but the person that truly saved the day was the queen's sister. She went to the queen and showed her she wasn't alone, I believe. They both made it out okay.

You could say that love saved the day.

[flamekthunder]

[...A rather cliche ending, but not necessarily a bad one.]

Was the queen's powers connected to her state of mind? If proving she wasn't alone and love part of the reason that stopped it, that is.

But that must have been a difficult situation. Glad to hear it was resolved as losing control over powerful magic can be devastating.

[sleightofhans]

I believe that to be the case. I saw glimpses of her before the storm started, and she always tried to appear in control. But during an argument with her sister, she lost control and ran away, which caused the eternal winter to start soon after.

Yes, given the circumstances, things could've turned out far worse. I don't believe anyone was actually harmed during the incident. It's a good thing too, as she would probably take the news rather hard.

[flamekthunder]

I see. Trying to hold it in... I can understand somewhat.

And no casualties—that's actually surprising, but a welcome one. I take it the Queen has full control of her powers now? Or were they sealed?

[sleightofhans]

Have you personally dealt with a similar situation, sir?

The queen now has full control of her powers. She stopped the eternal winter, repaired her relationship with her sister, and the people of her kingdom forgave her. She no longer has to live in fear of exposing her powers to her people. Truly, everything worked out for everyone.

[Except for him, but that's the consequences of the choice he made. He can admit it. He just has to be more careful the next time he backstabs someone.]

[flamekthunder]

To that degree, no, however I do understand a bit on keeping things to yourself and not relying or opening up to others, as well as how it can be more detrimental.

But I am glad that things worked out, and I appreciate you sharing your account of this story. I think it will suit the spell's needs.

Since you were a visitor, I take it you left to return home after everything was settled.

[Hans, please. The lesson you were supposed to learn is don't backstab people.]

[sleightofhans]

I feel that many of us keep at least a few things to ourselves, but we don't have to be afraid about hurting others with magical ice powers. The Queen must've been scared about that for a long time.

You're welcome and yes, I returned home shortly after. I hope to revisit again someday, just to see how they've been doing.

[Apparently pretty well, if the Queen Elsa he met here was any indication. She was definitely more confident and didn't rise to any of his barbs. Hans would be annoyed by all this, if she also didn't show some weird form of sympathy towards him. ...Although, that's annoying in its own way.]

But perhaps I don't have to worry about them.

[flamekthunder]

I can imagine so, especially when she only wishes to protect her power and not harm them. So it's true you may not need to worry about her so long as she continues to have the support she needs.

However I'm curious. Is magic common in your world?

[sleightofhans]

I don't believe so, and I cannot blame my upbringing for that.

I wasn't the only person that was surprised when the Queen unleashed her powers in front of everyone. It's definitely rare enough in that sense, although I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people from my world that had such powers. Perhaps they are still afraid of the reaction they'll get. It's not so easy to accept something like that.

[flamekthunder]

I see... It's stranger for me to imagine a world without magic, but knowing how powerful and destructive it can be I can understand how it would seem strange and the unknown brings fear.

This world must have been a shock to you then.

[sleightofhans]

Yes, this place took some time to get used to. It's certainly a change to have magic myself-- dreamotion energy. It certainly feels similar to what I imagine magic must be like.

Despite the dangers of this dream world, I can't help but appreciate the opportunity.

[flamekthunder]

With the new experience, I imagine you'll be able to create more stories of your own adventures.

Speaking of, you've told me the story about the queen, and while you also had a part you weren't the focus. Have anything you wish to share of yourself?

[sleightofhans]

I'm afraid I'm far less interesting than the queen I've told you about. I'm a prince, but I have no powers, so any tale I'd give would just be stories regarding that role.

Most interesting story I've gotten involved with was my time in Arendelle.

[flamekthunder]

In that case I won't press for anything further. I appreciate what you've told me, regardless. While I've had some brief encounters with some royalty, I was never really interested in speaking to any without reason.

[sleightofhans]

Glad that I could help, sir. :)

Haha, well, hopefully you didn't mind talking to this royal for too long.

[flamekthunder]

It wasn't bothersome at least.

[Slight joke? Maybe. From Eustace it's probably a grand compliment, really—]
