Princess Sara, the Dragon Quest

I'm thoroughly enjoying the process of following my toys and conjuring up a quest for Princess Sara. 

The greatest part is the absence of rules, allowing me to invent as I proceed. Do you recall the freedom of play as a child? We would take our toys and spontaneously craft stories without needing a structured plot.

I remember the trolls my sister and I cherished in our youth. We'd bring them outdoors, where they might be found constructing sandcastles one day or aboard my grandmother's boat the next, leaping from one escapade to another without a final destination.

The narratives didn't need to be logical; we were immersed in the play of the moment.

Adults always want a definitive beginning and a logical outline for a story. But the child's play is more inventive and creative with no bounds.

I find this holds true for Princess Sara's Quest. The Quest can veer in any direction, entwining countless subplots. I certainly didn't intend for it to be that way. But I follow where inspiration and imagination takes me without constraints.

The concept is to not dwell on the little details, but to relish the journey.

Below, the Rock Monsters have absconded with the Magical Dragon Egg and are concealing it.

Emerald, the Forest Dragon, confers with a clan member, stressing the imperative to retrieve the Dragon Egg at all costs. The egg is believed to contain a dragon destined to bring peace to their kind and ensure their survival. However, not all clan members are persuaded.

Emerald is aware of the Rock Monsters' formidable magic and their merciless leader. Rumors suggest that the Little People hold the key to vanquishing the Rock Monsters.

Yet, trust in the Little People is scarce among Dragons, who have been hunted by them for ages.

Despite this, Emerald is certain of the legend's authenticity and thus seeks counsel from the wise ancient Dragon sage, Sago. [LOL, think Yoda??]

Sago summons the Wise Old Frog.

Together they will find the Little People and speak to them.

And so the Quest goes....

why not?

Dragons.

 The Ghost Dragon

The Jungle Dragon and the Forest Dragon.
They kind of look upset!

Happy Dragons

these are cute!

Grumpy is my favorite Dragon. 

But at least Grumpy 

hangs out with other critters.

It was a weird Monday. Hours on the phone on hold with a Government institution. However I should note that Mondays are not good days to call. 

A message that was pre-recorded mentioned this entity was now processing mail from February 9th. Ohh.
Really?

My stuff was due in 6 weeks. Hmm. I'd mailed it in March. Sooooooooo....

It was not in their data base and there was this little form that had to be filled out too. I asked why they hadn't mailed it to me in the original letter? 

And the somewhat stiff and nearly grumpy guy said he was sure it had come out. ~~ Insert a nod of the head and a roll of my eyes ~~

They would send it again. Expect it in 7 to 10 days. Then fill it out and if I mail it back in 7 to 10 more days. Or Fax it.

I'll cut to the chase. I downloaded the form I needed. Ran to town to get ink for the old printer. Filled out all the paperwork and drove back to town to FAX it. 

That took me nearly all day. 

But I got 'er done. 

I hope they open their Faxes faster than process their mail!

I wanted to lose my temper but that would not have helped anyone.

So why the dragons? 
Oh heck, I don't know. Why not?

For a few minutes tonight to chill out my day, I grabbed my redhead and rode her around the pasture bareback. She wanted out the gate. No pics. I was currying the fuzzy monsters when I took a notion to bring out her bridle. Uffdah. The mule hair all over my jeans! I could have made a comforter from it!
