Unlocking the Secrets of Loblolly The Avian Way a Forbidden Journey A Wizard I Am II Roli came running out of the ship with a sheet of paper in her hand. She smiled and handed it to me. It began Oh great wizard, Hmmm I liked that...This is a map of Loblolly viewed from the Avian way. I thought a minute “Avian Way.” Wait a damned minute Avian means bird....Where is Harper when you need her. I continued the only way to traverse Loblolly is via the Avian way. “Princess, Slinky, Hows about the two of you fly to the Avian way and see if there is an easy way up there.” As they flew off, a white Owl and a red mini dragon, I went back to reading. “Although the ground level is very beautiful it is filled of nine predatory creatures larger than a Volkswagen. There are thirty eight smaller ones including 7 poisonous snakes. I realized it was a magic parchment when the next words was.. Lumper, “Duck...Now.” We did and a larger furry creature leaped over us. It looked like a large dog with a twisted lions head. When it lit and turned toward us … I cast a spell of burning and pulled my sixshooter and began firing both which backed the Lumper against a tree . Linda and Roli shared a spell which sent out a net of glue that enshrouded the Lumper and attached it to the tree. I looked at the paper it said go up quickly. I looked at another large tree the trunk was 15 meters in diameter and 100 meters to the first limbs. As I looked up I could see steps spiraling around the tree coming closer and closer. When the stairway touched the ground Princess Aden stepped off and said “Care to join me?” Once we were all on the stairs. Princess Aden Pulled a handle I had not noticed and the stairs began to move like a spiral escalator except the whole thing was rising . If the person on the bottom rung stepped up to the next rung the previous rung would disappear. We passed the lowest branches and continued about 30 meters higher till we were at a landing. There we found Slinky in her human form sitting on a lunch counter stool enjoying a sandwich and a Malt. …the next moment changed everything
