Four of these were @Mr. Banana [Lone Ranger] can you guess which ones?

Yep 2 parts in 2 days, I was super motivated to write I'm getting excited. As always please give some tips, ideas or feedback and enjoy! I get down on my knees in front of Philip, Kiya and Jared and tell them, “Guys I'm going to go home. You guys are going to stay with the Bard and travel the world, ok?”  “Okay, but why can't you come with us or why can't we go with you?” Jared asks sadly. “I have to go home, and I can't take care of 4 kids by myself, plus you will have so much fun with the Bard and all your new friends.” “Where is Sylvy? Shouldn't you tell her too?” Kiya asks. I look at my feet hoping they won't be mad and say carefully, “Sylvy is coming with me… she doesn't like it here so I'm taking her with me.” “But what about us you still like us, right,” Philip asks very concerned. “Yes! I like you very much, I just can't take you with me right now,” I say reassuringly. The children look at their hands, feet anything but directly at me. I feel awful, is this the only way? Then Jared asks, “Will you come visit us please?” “Yes! As soon as possible I will! Okay?” “OK!” The children say .  “Mr. Bard plans to leave tomorrow okay? So get some good sleep and we will say goodbye tomorrow.”delighted.       The next morning the Bard left Dugtown with all of the orphans except Sylvia. Julie, Sylvia and I started towards Glipwood. I knew I would miss the children deeply but I would go visit them soon. I thought of that morning sadly and remembered how they had not wanted to leave me but wanted to stay with their friends. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted when Sylvia cried out, “Wren! Look, it's fluffy!” She points to a gray ball of fluff from Julie's arms, and I wonder what it is. It turns around and I can see what it is, “Julie, come on! Let's go!” It’s a squeeblin, Julie looks at the creature and says, “Aww, it's cute! Wren, wait just a minute, look at this little guy!” “No, Julie! It's a squeeblin! They are dangerous! Come on!” I say exasperated and grab Sylvia out of her arms.  “How could such a little guy be dangerous?” “Their fur has little needles called fleshooks in their fur”  “Oh. Well sorry, let's just keep moving.” We walk for a little while when we encounter a family of travelers on some horses. A young man, on the lead horse, calls out to me, “Hello there! Where are you headed to?”  “Glipwood, we are heading home after… um some travels” Julie says. A grim look crosses his face, “Glipwood?....Haven’t you heard?” I feel my stomach drop as I ask, “Hear what, we left only a week ago.” The man looks back at his company, and they nod, he turns back with a downcast look and says, “Lass… Glipwood is in ruins, there was a massive storm, all the people left or were taken by the fangs.” I stumble backwards with surprise, “What? No, no no!” Julie takes Sylvia from my arms and sits down on a nearby rock with a stunned look on her face. The man says with regret, “I’m sorry, nobody is there any more.” I sink to my knees with shock and my hands go to my face. The man dismounts his horse, hands the reins to a younger girl and walks over to me. He places his hand on my back and says, “Lass, I know this is hard to hear. Glipwood was a good place and hopefully we can rebuild it soon. We are on our way to our house a little ways down the road if you would like to join us.” Julie stands and says, “Thank you very much, that would be greatly appreciated so we can figure out our next steps.” “My name is Tobias, and these are my siblings Charity, Issac and Rose. Follow me to our house.” We follow them to their house where we are greeted by a big dog barking and running towards us. “Nutmeg! Come here girl,” Issac calls out while dismounting his horse. The dog romps over to Issac and greets him wagging her tail. An older man and woman walk out of the house, I notice the woman is holding the hand of a young boy. “Ma! Pa!” Rose cries out, “Tobias found some friends and invited them to stay at our house!” Pa walks toward and says to Rose, “Did he now, and what would the friends be named?” He lifts Rose down from her horse. “Yep! Ummm,” she turns to me and says, “Hey! What’s your name you never told us?” I walk over to Pa and say, “My name is Wren, this is my sister Julie and this is Sylvia” Tobias comes running over and says, “Pa, they are from Glipwood they have no home to go back to, so I invited them to stay here. I-i hope that’s ok, I didn’t want to leave them all alone.”  “Hmm,” Pa turns to me and says, “is this true?” “Yes sir, we were coming home from Dugtown when we met your kin, who told us of Glipwood.” “And you would like to stay at our house?” “Yes sir, that would be most appreciated. Just until we figure out what to do next, we can pay and do chores!” Pa laughs and says, “You’re welcome to stay lass, no pay needed, though I might take you up on your offer of chores.” “Thank you very much, what can I do to help?” Tobias looks relieved and says, “You can help me put away the horses.” “Ok”   We walk towards the horses, I grab the reins of the horse that Rose was on and follow Tobias. Charity and Issac give us their reins and we walk toward the stables. We put the horses away and Tobias asks, “Wanna help feed and brush them?”  “Sure that would be nice,” He hands me a brush and I start to brush one of the horses, “thanks for inviting us, I don’t know what we would have done without a place to stay the night.” “I couldn’t just leave you out there, when I knew your home had been destroyed… so why were you in Dugtown?” I look at my feet in shame, “We were taken by the Black Carriage.” Tobias’s eyes widened in shock, “How are you standing in front of me? I’ve never heard of anyone coming back from the Black Carriage!” I smile a bit at that, “Well, this man named the Florid Sword saved us from the carriage, that’s where we found Sylvia.” “Really I thought she was just a sister, tell me more about your travels.” I tell him about the past few days after we got taken by the Carriage.  “I hope you don’t mind me asking but what was it like being taken by the Carriage?” I look down and say, “Maybe I should start with why we were taken.” I tell him about our journey to Glipwood and our encounter with the strangers and even about my mother and Ki. Ma peeks her head into the stable and says, “Sorry to interrupt you two, but it’s time for dinner.”  I blush and say, “thank you, Mrs. umm, what was your name?”  “Mary Archer, your’s was Wren correct?” “Yes,” we walk out of the stable and toward the house. We walk inside and a wonderful smell fills my nose, “it smells amazing Mrs. Archer.” “Thank you,” she says. We all take our seats and thank the Maker for the food. I notice the little boy I saw earlier with Mrs. Archer, sitting between Charity and Rose. I look toward him and ask, “what’s your name?” He doesn’t answer me or look at me which I find odd. Charity nudges him and whispers, “she’s talking to you.” He looks startled and says, “I’m Samuel, but you can call me Sam.” “Hi Sam, I’m Wren. Mrs. Archer, this food is delicious.” We spend the rest of the night chatting and playing games.

Here you go! sorry it's been a while! I have been busy and have had writers block but I think it's gone. Still if you have ideas please share them! Enjoy!  I stand there for a minute wondering what just happened and then I start towards the kids that the fangs had been escorting. I talk them into letting each other go, then tell them, “Hey, don't worry everything will be ok. Why don't you go back into the house.” We walk up to the house and the kids go inside. Inside I can hear the parents sobbing. Once they realize someone is  walking in they look up and gasp. I see them running to their kids and can hear their happy reunion. I suddenly feel sad, longing for my mom and Ki then turn back toward the Carriage.     “Julie, wake up!” I said as I shook her awake, “Come on we gotta figure out what we are gonna do with these kids.” Julie starts to sit up and rubs her eyes. “What kids?” she says sleepily. “The four other kids in this Carriage!” I say impatiently. She jolts awake, “Four!”  “Yeah, come on it’s after curfew if other fangs see us we are dead, we need to find a place to stay the night.” We rouse the two older kids, a 9 year old girl named Kiya and a 8 year old boy named Jared and carry the younger two, a 6 year old boy named Philip and a 4 year old little girl whose name we weren't able to figure out. We start towards the city trying to avoid fangs and we find an abandoned shop. We step through the broken door of the shop, careful not to cut ourselves on the splintered wood of the door. The shop is a wreck; there's broken glass, overturned shelves and dust everywhere. I walk to the back, the girl in my arms, and find a place relatively clear sheltered by a shelf. I grab a broom from behind a shelf and sweep an area for us to sleep then layed the girl down. I walk to Julie and carry Jared over to the little girl. Julie and I carry the other two over, so they don't cut themselves. I take off my jacket and lay it down for the kids to lay on. They fall asleep immediately, I quietly retell Julie what happened then tell her to get some sleep.  I stayed awake for the rest of the night, coming up with plan after plan of what I was going to do with these kids. I explore the shop looking for anything that might be useful. The shop has the main shopping area, a back room as well as 2 rooms above the shop. I find blankets in the rooms as well as some money in the back room. I walk back to our little area and put the blankets over the kids and Julie.   A little after the sun starts to rise Julie wakes up and turns toward me. “I'm gonna go and get some food. I found some money in the back.” I say confidently. “I'll come with you!” “No, stay here, keep them entertained, there's some toys upstairs. I'll be back soon, okay?” “Fine but be quick.”     I soon find myself in the city, I quickly figure out where we probably are, Dugtown, “Oh no,” I think to myself, “not as bad as Stranders but close.” I walk into a bakery and buy some bread. Then, I start back toward the shop. I start to hear a faint sound as I get closer I can tell it's, of all things, music. I'm intrigued, so I start walking towards it. This music is sweet and strangely familiar, though I can't think why. I soon see the source of it, a middle aged man with a whistleharp surrounded by children.     I watch for a while from behind a wall. Then, he stops and says, “I can see you, you know, come on over.” I walk towards him and can't help myself from saying, “That was beautiful! Who are you?”   “I'm Armulyn, the bard, I travel Skree singing songs, mostly about Anniera. What's your name child?” “I'm Wren, like the bird…I know you, you came to Glipwood not too long ago, you said Fangs were ugly, in front of Fangs,” I said in awe. “I did say that, didn't I, what are you doing this far from Glipwood, or did you come from Dugtown from Glipwood?” “Um.. well I do live in Glipwood, my sister and I um.. were headed toward Torrboro, she wanted to see the… cats.”  “This isn't Torrboro so how'd you get here?” “Well..um we got caught by Stranders and put in the Black Carriage and then a man in Black named the Florid Sword saved us from fangs but then left, and now I have 4 kids under 10 with me and I don't know what to do.” The children just stare at me but the Bard says, “Wow… these children are orphans, if you would like I could take on your children.” “Ummm I’ll have to think about it. Would you mind if I stay with you for a few days?” “Not at all” “Mr. Bard!” Philip shouted, “Mr. Bard!” “Yes?” The Bard answered. “Watch!” He starts to whistle a simple tune, “I learned how to whistle, now I can be just like you!” “Good job, maybe you can be just like me, would you like to learn some more music?” “YES!” I laugh to myself, Philip would be just fine staying with the Bard. I looked down at the girl on my lap. We had finally figured out her name was Sylvia. I wasn’t sure how she would like staying with the Bard, any time someone else picked her up she cried. I had thought about taking her with us back to Glipwood but I wasn’t sure that was a good idea. The trip back to Glipwood would potentially be dangerous. We would have to walk back, which will be pretty dangerous, especially with a 4 year old. Kiya came running up to me, “Wren, Wren! Come play with us, please!”  “What are you playing?” “Ships and Sharks!” “Ooh, that sounds fun, is Julie playing?” “Yes! Please…” “Sure!” We walk towards Julie and the other orphans, I see Jared playing with the other kids and smile. I would miss the kids I had saved but I knew they would love staying with the Bard. “Wren, you and Julie are it!” Kiya says excitedly. All the kids line up and Julie and I stand in front of them. “Go!” I shout. All the kids run and Julie and I run after them. I grab Kiya into my arms and start to tickle her. She squeals and squirms away and then continues to run around. I watch her help Jared save a little girl from being tickled and turn to find another kid to tickle. We play until all the kids are worn out. I sit down and Sylvia runs up to me and sits in my lap. “Hi Sylvy!” “Hi!” She starts picking flowers, and says, “can you make a crown, please?”  “Sure, I’ll try,” I laugh. She stands up and collects more from out of reach then brings them to me. I start to weave the flowers together and make a crown. I place the crown of flowers on her head and say, “You are a beautiful little princess.”  “Mr. Bard?” I ask. “Yes?” “I think the kids would love to stay with you, except Sylvia… I don’t think she would like staying here but I’m not sure if I should take her. I don’t want her to be unhappy but I also don’t want her to be unsafe, what should I do?” “I think you should take her if you think you should. I know you will take good care of her. With that being said I would still be more than happy to look after her.”

These are my thoughts (this is kinda late) on S2. 1. I like S2 much better than S1, I felt they stuck closer to the story line 2. I wish they hadn't started of with Kal saying, "call me Kalmar," because I felt when he tells the stranders his name is Kalmar it is an important scene that doesn't have as much meaning. 3. I wish Claxton had bugs in his beard, kinda a weird wish but it was one of the things that stuck in my mind about him. 4. The Fork! Factory! is amazing I love all the signs, my siblings and I had fun pausing the show and reading them. 5. The FS✨️ he was done perfectly we laughed a lot. 6. This is a very small scene in the book but we love it but they didn't put it in, Oskar grabbing a sword and spinning, killing fangs, I feel like it wouldn't have taken much time to add it in there and would have added a lot of humor 7. 8. The cliffhanger were they show the fang... I really hope that's not how Kalmar looks as a fang I am excited for S3 Can't wait.

This was originally posted by Tabby Cat but I drew it.

We are in the Carriage all day picking up kid after kid. Many of the kids are sobbing silently or bawling loudly. I try my best to calm them down, reassure them with promises that everything will be ok (though I know they are empty and don't mean anything) and lull them to sleep. I am soon found in the midst of 4 sleeping children, in all there are 6 of us crammed in the Carriage.        “Wren?” Julie taps my shoulder, “are we going to be okay? I know I've been acting brave and confident but I've been scared to death.”  “You’re doing better than me, but yes we will be OK cause in the end at least we are together,” I say kindly.  “I know but I just can't shake the feeling that this is all my fault.” “Well that's because it is your fault.”  “Hey! Doesn't make me feel better!” “But I don't blame you. After all, I didn't stop you from convincing me to go to Torrboro.”  “I should have known better,” she says despairingly.  “You know in Annierain culture everyone in the royal family has roles dependent on when they were born, why don't we pretend we are annerian. Since I’m the oldest..” Julie interjects,“By 3 minutes!”  “Well by the rules of being twins I'm still older, so I would be the Throne Warden, in charge of keeping you, The High Queen, safe from others and Yourself. As well as keeping others safe from you.”  “That sounds like an awful job for You but really fun for me, and since I'm the queen I get to boss you around. Hey, what about Ki, what would he be?” “Well since he's the youngest out of the three kids in our family he would be the Song Master. He would sing songs of Anniera, and be a master of the songs.” “He does love music.”         Soon Julie has drifted off, I have never been able to sleep in moving vehicles, and I'm left wondering how Ki is doing. A week ago he was a happy rambunctious song-filled 6 year-old but then we left for Torrboro. We left a small note telling our mother and Ki where we were going and that we would be back soon. How did they respond to that? Is Ki missing us or thankful to have our mother to himself? At the time, I was angry at my mother for not letting me go out with friends and it didn't take much for Julie to convince me to go. Now I worry I will never see them again. After all, we are in the Black Carriage, and now I see I should have at least told Ki we were leaving in person.                When the sun starts to set, we reach Dugtown and ride into town. We reach the place to pick up the last few children and the fangs riding jump out. The fangs collect the children, a young girl, a teenage girl and a young boy, and start them toward the Carriage. I’m focused on the young girl who has tears streaming down her face when I hear a thump on top of the Carriage and then something comes down on the fangs, just missing the kids. The fangs fall backward and lose their grip on the fangs. A man has jumped down from the top of the Carriage and onto the fangs he now stands tall with a sword in hand. “Tis I the Florid Sword!”        He slashes his sword through the air and then quickly dusts the two fangs that were escorting the children. He walks toward us in the Carriage and opens the door. The Florid Sword addresses me and says, “I assume you are in charge.”  “I guess, but I don't know what to do with 4 little kids, not counting the ones over there.” “Back to their house they can goeth but another matter these children are, I'm not sure what to doeth with them.” “They can stay with me, I just need to get back to Glipwood, where my family is.” “Best of Luck for you… what was your name?” “Wren, like the bird.” “Best of luck Wren, like the bird. I must go now! Best of nights for you!” With that he bounds away, somehow gets on the roof and runs away on the roof and out of sight.  I'm not sure what the title should be please give me suggestions my brother recommended The Wrenfeather Saga. please give me any suggestions, ideas or comments you may have. thank you!

This is a rough draft so if you have suggestions ideas or something like that please tell me. Leaves crunch under our feet as we run for our lives from a toothy cow. “Quick up this tree,” I yell to Julie. We scramble up the tree, panting, I ask, "How did we get into this mess?” “Well, it could be because we lit a fire.” “Or because you wanted to have an adventure.” “OK, yes, I'm sorry but I wanted to see Torrboro.” The toothy cow growled below us, pawing at the tree. Since we weren't going anywhere for a while, I started to get comfortable and evaluate our supplies. I say to Julie, “Why? Torrboro is crawling with Fangs.” “I know, I know but Lydia told me that Torrboro's buildings look like cats, and I wanted to see.” Soon, the cow leaves and we are able to get out of the tree. We head toward Torrboro (because I'm a pushover) encountering a few flabbits, a couple of thwaps and the lone Fendril. The lone Fendril means it was the beginning of fall. We walk for a while in silence until we hear voices, we look at each other, then start toward the voices. We peek through the bushes, careful to be quiet. “Nobody's dropping any weapons-” says a big, older man. A knife is thrown by a girl that is about 12, and lands in the man's peg leg. We look at each other and grin. Soon we are following them back to their camp, making sure to keep a safe distance from them. Once they get to the camp we hide in the bushes between two trees. We watch as the girl walks toward a man, who was mean-looking and very dirty. The man and her talked for a minute. Then the girl took the man who she threw the knife at and tied Him up. The older man was with a thin woman, an older, roundish man, a boy around 12, a boy who looked around 11, and a small girl maybe 9 who had a crutch and a twisted leg. The girl tied them all up. I suddenly felt bad them, who knew what would happen to them? I started to get up but Julie grabbed my shoulder and leaned in to tell me, “I think this is a Strander Clan.” “What?,” I cry as quietly as I could, “aren't strangers dangerous? This is a bad idea.” “It’ll be fine,” Julie says with a shrug. Then a ragged voice I don't recognize speaks, “What will be fine.” “Umm, I-i was ju-sttt um, um wa-as l-leav-ving,” I managed to say, looking around in fright. “Oh no, don't leave just yet, we haven't even eaten yet.” A strander materializes from the bushes. Julie and I jump up and try to sidle away but a huge strander appears and grabs us. He takes us to some cages and tells the big guy to put us in the cages. The strander throws us in the cage and locks us in. As soon as they leave I turn to Julie and say, “this is not fine.” Julie says, “Well no, but..” “But what, we are in a cage, a Strander cage, we can’t help those people they captured, and we haven even had dinner yet!” I start to cry, and Julie says, “Hey, I know this isn't the best situation but at least we are together, they could have put us in separate cages.” She ruffles through our packs and says, “and we still have some flabbit left so we can at least have dinner.” I wipe my eyes, take some of the flabbit and thank her. We sit in silence for a little while and eat our flabbit. Finally I say, “ I’m sorry, I wanted to follow them just as much as you did, neither of us could have known that they were stranders.” “ I'm sorry too, maybe we shouldn't have tried to go Torrboro by ourselves.” “We are 16, I think we both thought we could handle but I do think it would have been best if we could get someone with more knowledge about the forests to come along with us.” We sit for a little while chatting, when a strander comes by and offers us some water and says, “You'll be get'in some roommates soon. Don't bother ‘em with your cry’in, that's right I heard ya, but don't worry you'll be just fine I've heard the Carriage has mighty comfy seats,” he says with mock kindness. After he leaves, I start to panic “Julie we can't take a ride on the Black Carriage, people don't come back after being taken by the Carriage, ever! What are we going to do?” “One we are NOT going to panic, two umm… break out?” She shrugs, and half-heartedly tugs on the bars. I start to pace around the cage trying to figure out a solution. After not coming up with anything for a hour I collapse to the floor trying not to cry. I pull my jacket around me and put my head on my knees and say, “it's hopeless we are going to be taken by the Carriage. I never thought it would actually happen but it will. At least I know it's coming and can mentally prepare.” Julie comes and sits down next to me. “I will find a way out. In the meantime why don't you get some sleep.” I decide to try to take her advice and lay down. I fall asleep to her tugging on bars, jiggling the lock and feeling all around the cage. I wake up to Julie shaking me awake, “Get up now, hurry!” “Five more minutes.” “No get up the Black Carriage is coming.” That wakes me up immediately and I can tell she's right by the abundance of crows in the area. I jump up and ask, “Did you find a way out?” Julie looks at her feet and says in shame, “No. I’m so sorry! I was up all night and couldn't find a single weak spot, stranders really know how to make cages! I'm so, so sorry!” “It's okay, it's okay” I say reassuringly, “ but what are we going to do?” “I was thinking about that, I'm pretty sure the fangs really like it when we kick and scream and cry. So we can at least not let them have any fun, so stay as calm as possible, walk straight up to the Carriage and walk right in.” “So we are just going to give up?” “Yes, what else can we do, we could run but I'd rather not get bit by a fang or you get bit by a fang. Here they come act normal and calm.” The Carriage comes way too quickly and all the rumors are true. This is the worst day of my life. The Strander I assume is the chief comes and unlocks our cage and a green fang walks right up to us and grabs our arms and yanks us out of the cage. I trip on the edge of the cage and let out a yelp. The fang kicks me and I scramble up. I glance at Julie, who looks straight ahead with a bored expression. I try to match her and the fang grabs my arm. He pulls us straight to the Carriage and pushes us toward the door, I take a deep breath and start up the stairs but to my surprise I am yanked back and I fall again. I fall back onto the ground. It's all I can do to not cry out in pain. The fang starts taunting Julie, and tells her, “you are so brave please go in before to make sure there's no scary thwaps in there. I am terribly afraid of them.” Julie walks up the stairs and climbs into the Carriage. Just as she walks up the last step the Fang cruely pushs her onto the floor of the Carriage. I make my way off of the ground and get into the Carriage. “Well that Did not go as planned,” Julie says ruefully. "Nope,” I say.

And do you want me to draw them or is there a different character you want me to draw

Mine is definitely Thorn and Leeli. Thorn is so funny when it comes to their relationship. Is your favorite Sara and Janner, Thorn and Leeli or someone else?
