Grandfather and Grandmother , look upon the seasoned Clock, apart the usual timings of unusual places around the globe, an the not so usual timings that you could flick on with the shiny gem stones buttons that embellished this rather old out of time grandfather clock
It indicated it many of it strange visual screens for instance where planets in the known solar system were located in beneficial alignment or not
At this time chiming away as usual sounds of spring breeze the chirping of birds and the sounds of yet to be spring new borns of the animal kingdoms in an orderly fashion and as expected the main clock interface that gave the daily time , changed from the previous willow tree
Into the Ash winged fruit tree with some symbolic images of past present future intertwined
Grandfather and Grandmother smiled
I wonder who we’ll find in the garden this time
Meanwhile in their well stocked with acres of land that surrounded the cottage , The cat finally stumbled upon the tree it been trying in vain to climb for last 3 winters past, it kept finding the tree shook it off and no longer under the same tree as it had moved again
Grandmother peeked out the window just than
“Oh ! looked she’s found the tree again and oh my the cat got a fruit from the enchanted tree, and has taken a bite,”
by the time grandfather had got to the enchanted tree the cat had fallen into deep sleep while the tree branches wrapped itself gently around the cat so that it wouldn’t fall off.
about time ,.. Thought Grandfather
“Dear” as he dashed in
“the ca,,,t” stopped almost mid sentence do you think its boy or girl”
“ girl dear “ replied grandmother
“we’ll be needing that spare bedroom” said Grandfather
Ok I’ll get spare clothes from the attic” replied grandmother thoughtfully
At last check grandmother reported metamorphosing back into human form exceptionally well and continued their talk on events yet to be
A knight who had observed the events from a far off distance through binoculars shrugged of the eerie feeling as though he too was being watched , this the knight had felt before; however over time, dismissed the notion
These unusual binoculars obtained some time ago from an old wizards belongings allowed the knight not only to see long distance but into walls an on occasion hear. This he found to be muffled or hit an miss.
therefore had not heard anything that was said by the old couple after the cat been placed in one of small room and on bed too and slowly but surly changing form.
The knight had also discovered other secrets that were scattered around old wizards chambers the most pressing was a letter from the king concerning a cat, weird why would the king concern himself with a cat ?
and what was that? That is locked in the chestboard box that was hidden in the cottage that had been clearly marked out.
all he had been told by the dying wizard that a cat with distinguished markings will be the key to unlocking the secret that you hold at your chest, the talisman”
and with these last words did not die as expected but vanished into thin air. . .
Which had always left knight a little uneasy for the talisman to which the old wizard had referred to was something he thought he had kept well hidden from his old wizard
The knight who really was the apprentice once accidentally stumbled into the wizard’ private chambers while the wizard said he had an important errand to make, as knight {excuse me} the apprentice stumbled further into the chambers an image of the holographic tree, caught his attention within it trunk something shone through to his surprise became a real object upon touching
And hid it quickly in his inner chest pocket.
The old Wizard upon observation of the tree again at later time noted it was missing than observed the aura of his apprentice with utmost most scrutiny so he still has this hidden near his chest that is most interesting. After all them wannabes I may indeed have found the one who returns the kingdom
to be continued later ...
