The Land of Laughter (Danseen)

The day after Cecilia, Grandpa, and Ty returned from Corsilon, Cecilia’s mother gave her wonderful news!

“Sweetie, your grandpa and I had a talk, and we decided that he’s going to help us watch you in the afternoons for awhile.” Mom had so many things to keep her busy, she was happy that Grandpa wanted to spend more time with Cecilia.

And Cecilia was delighted! She knew exactly what that meant – more time in Rettel!

“Cool!” was about all Cecilia could think to say. Her mom smiled and gave her a big hug. Continue reading »

The Chime Grove (Corsilon)

When the music finally came to a soft soothing end, Cecilia looked over at Grandpa. He was smiling. It made her truly happy to see Grandpa enjoying himself.

Ty, who had been flying in front of her during most of the song, landed on her knee again. She reached down and stroked his soft white fur. He made no sound but she could tell by the look on his face that he liked it.

She picked Ty up and placed him on her shoulder, then got up off the puffball as Grandpa was getting up himself. As beautiful as the song had been, it also felt nice to stretch her legs a little. Continue reading »

The Land of Music (Corsilon)

Cecilia, Grandpa, and Ty woke at Grandpa’s house. Grandpa put their magic shoes and Ty’s magic belt safely in the closet, and Cecilia went home. She still wished she could bring Ty home with her, but she didn’t want her parents to see him so she didn’t try to convince Grandpa to change his mind about that.

The next morning Cecilia was up bright and early. She showered, dressed, and brushed her teeth just as fast as she could. She hopped to the kitchen table and ate her breakfast with a smile on her face.

She was happy because she knew she was going to see Grandpa and Ty again this morning. She couldn’t wait to visit another land in Rettel! Continue reading »

The Land of Colors (Brintonia)

It was all Cecilia could do to sleep that night. She awoke several times, each time looking immediately at the clock to see if it was time to get out of bed yet. Finally, she looked and it was 7:00am. She jumped out of bed and skipped to the kitchen happily, where Mom was cooking eggs for breakfast.

“Good Morning, Sunshine!” exclaimed Dad. “You look like the happiest little girl in the world!”

“I am, Daddy,” said Cecilia, ” because I get to go to Grandpa’s house today!” Continue reading »

At Grandpa’s House

“Have a seat, Cecilia,” Grandpa said. “I’ll get you some chocolate milk.” If there was one thing Cecilia could always count on from Grandpa, it was chocolate milk! She took a seat on the soft green couch and placed her purse gently beside her. Continue reading »

Back from Ancilon

“Ty! How did you get here?” Cecilia exclaimed.

“Don’t know. Where is here?” the little dragon-fly asked.

“This is my home,” she said. Her mind was racing a mile a minute. How could the little creature from her dream follow her out of it? Now that she was back home, how could she get Ty back to his home? What would she do with him in the meantime? Continue reading »

Do you see butterflies?
Can you find three? Continue reading »
