Grand PooBah was about to tell us a story however the Gnome Stone of learning has really consumed him,, Everytime he or another elder pick it up they see more new and different fossils,, with it being so hot here in August , this is a good way to learn while trying to stay cool.
He apologizes for those of you whom he kept waiting,,  , He also made an unexpected trip tho just for a few hours he returned exhausted but as always delighted for having done so!
The Gnome Stone reminded him of a story his Great Great Great Great Grandfather PooBah had told him. He was shocked as he had always just thought it was a story, a fable if you will: but knows now it's true as true can be  he was but a wee willy but remembers the story well for his 4th great grandfather PooBah was the best of storytellers back then.

This story has been passed down since way before dinosaurs roamed the earth. GrandPooBah heard it many many times and always just believed it was only story until now.
As he grew older he watched as his 4th grandfather , and 3rd grandfather, 2nd grandfather and grandfather PooBah's waiting for something,, they didn't know what it would be or how they would recieve it, but all the grand fathers and all the grandfathers before them all knew something was coming that would bring a change in how Willy's viewed time gone by and that what ever it was would become a learning tool for all the willy's that are now and will be in the future,
It wasn't until GrandPooBah received the Gnome Stone of learning,, he realized "This is IT,, This is what all my Grandfathers had been waiting on,, so why me?? Why have I been intrusted to the Gnome Stone??"
I say "not to question it " I say " You're deserving of it,, because of your warm, protective spirit and your love of the our earth!"
So now I'm at the point of pleading to tell us all the story and he begins,,,,,,,,

He said he will try to tell this story as accurate as his grandfathers did.
"There was a time when all the earth was green,, beauty was bountiful, creatures great and small were harmonious, Gnomes , fairys, unicorns, pegasus have always been. Then the earth started changing, land started to divide and bodies of water spread them further and further apart. Mountains were exploding (Vulcano's) the land was a firey red in many area's.. Then there was the cold era,, hardly any sun , barley anything green, this went on for years and years, As the snow began to melt different kinds of creatures were being seen and some not so friendly,  and many gnomes, fairy's unicorns, and pegasus were disappearing,, so many of them went to the forest and mountain and hill side caves for protection,.
It was up in the mountains,, and hill side caves that trolls were discovered, a terrible greedy mean creature they were. They terrorized many,, took our food, destoyed our garden of food supplies endlessley, we were very afraid for our young,, we were very afraid for our little friends the fairys,, as the trolls had quick hands and could see the fairys even when the fairys were invisible to us, for a while they would wear the bells from Lilly of the Valley blooms that gave off a slight tinkle that only us gnomes could hear,,,, Until,,,
the Trolls started reconginizing the smell of the blooms and knew the fairys were very close around,, and if they are around then we gnomes were around close too,, and even more of us started disappearing "

Panl the eldest of the gnomes in the land and his wife Clover (BTW Panl evolved into Poo Bah through out the centuries for some odd reason) call all the gnomes together and told them they have to leave to any foreign land of choice and they must leave now ... this time here is too dangerous to stay,, Trolls sleep mid day so we must leave then ,, Teach your young , teach them of this time we now live,, teach them how to care for this earth, teach them that not all creatures have wicked hearts.. teach them all we know as we each go into different worlds of living,, Instill in them that some day all of this will be seen .. it will be tangible in truth, and cannot be denied, and that all you have seen and learned must be passed to all your future children and they theirs,, Go Now teach, live,, love ,,,,,, Gooooo!!
Panl then calls Rose Quartz ( a fairy that had taken in two twin little child fairy's that had lost their queen Fairy and their entire family to the Trolls) ,
and tells her,, You take the child fairys whom I shall call Opelite and Amethyst for they always sit by all the purple flowers . I shall see to it as they grow older they shall have beautiful purple tresses,, and blue wings the shade of the sky that shimmer purple in the light,,and will grow taller than you so they can easily assist you once they leave this land,,,, and you Rose Quartz will have healing powers once you leave this land as I place this silver band upon your ankle and the mark of a continuous vine upon your leg signifying ,, you shall live for ever and teach all fairy's what is now and yet to be,, You will go into the future as you are now beautiful and light upon your horse who will be your flying companion thru eternity,, and will have the greatest power over all fairy's ,,, so say I.
Panl said good bye to his family and friend as he as his wife Clover was staying a bit longer because his brother had taken ill and they would not leave him alone,,

At last Panl talked with his Bird Owl and told him to leave as well, He told him to speak to all flying creatures,, multiply well into the future, teach them the seasonal directions of survival and find their way back from one survival season to another,, with that he head his last' whoo cooing; from his wise old friend the owl as he watched him fly off in to the horizon,
Panl's brother Wild Willy took months to get better and when he did he left for other land, In the mean time Panl heard from Rose Quartz that Opalite had been captured by a troll and try as she did to save her sadly at last she couldn't , so she has now hurried on her journey and is flying high above the land with Amethyst to safety it wasn't long after she had reached North America
By this time winter was approaching and too late for them to leave now they would have to wait until the first snow thaw,, and Clover knew Panl needed a good pair of leathers, it would take her a while,, it was too dangerous to go out looking for an animal remains to retrieve the leather from not to mention the right flowers to extract oils to soften the leather. Panl surprised her one day bringing her a back pack of leathers he had found his brother had left behind, along with some furs , whewwwwww that was a great thing of his brother and I wouldn't be surprised if he had intentionally left it,!
Winter was upon them Clove had just finished Panls leathers, and made her a new winter pillow and was working on a quilt when there was a loud fierce terrifying growling sound, she knew immediately what it was,,,,,,, Trolls! she knew that sound to be that of a Mountain cave troll,, the worst of them all The Trolls tore off their hut door ,, Panl ran to her side and they held on to each other tightly and not letting go ,,, to the end,,
Grand Panl and Gran Clove is and always will be known as the two that enabled Gnomes, fairy, unicorns , and other creatures to have a future from then well into this day,, I know now the Gnome stone is what he was referring to as tangible and cannot be denied,, and it will be a learning tool for us all, I know now I should have never doubted the story as true, I am humbled to hold it in my hands as it is from the times of my Grand Panl.

Now keep in mind Grand PooBah hadn't been feeling well for about 3 weeks,, well yesterday morning,, One hand came running frantically,, " Angelblossom Angelblossom" he yelled,, Just going outside myself I almost stepped on One hand ,, " Heyyyyyyyyyy careful there,, never be right in front of the door,, remember!  "
" Oh Yes yes .. I know ... but Look ,,, Look on the bridge! "
Look at Reader,, He almost fell backwards in shock I was pretty stunned myself !
we all were!!

I quickly ran in to get the Fairy Queen thrown our human friend Faerywatcher made should an event call for it,, Little did I know,, I'd really need it,,
GrandPooBah meet her on the other side of the bridge just as I came out with the throne giving me time to put it in place some of the other elders met them as well,, has asked the villagers to give them room to speak for a few moments,
Amethyst was along her side just as Panl said she would be with her hair of purple and wings as blue as the sky, and a face of beauty and much much taller than Queen Rose Quartz! and Rose Quartz was just as lovely as her name,, still with the silver ankle band and the mark of the vine on her leg,Amethyst held the Queen staff as Rose Quartz speaks;

I have waited thousands of your years to speak to you Poo Bah, It is an honor to speak with a direct decedent of Panl . I couldn't speak to you until you had received the Gnome Rock of Learning, Tho I've always known it would be you,
GrandPooBah was speechless,, almost embarrassed for his lack of words,,
Rose Quartz laughs so sweetly at GrandPooBah's Shyness it puts him at ease,,
I have brought to you items that I went back to get after hearing the terrible tragedy of Panl and Clove,, I know your Twin Sister Clove resides with you here at the Village There are Items for her I knew She'd want made from Gram Cloves hands, I have preserved them well,,,, and as you questioned why You??
You Because you have a Village Here on the land of a Human that respects you,, You have a Village made of Rock,, that is how Panl lived for many many years,, among the rocks of mountains. Your human friend has another human friend that respects gnomes and fairys and he Never underestimates them and teaches others not to underestimate them either,. They both have good spirits and good hearts and are ever so helpful to others, human and gnomes alike, I have always know all of you would connect, it was destiny,, above all I knew Wild Willy named after Panl's brother would be the Key to seeing you received the Gnome stone of learning,, as that was his major task in life,, tho he didn't know it , to him it was a good thing to do as reward he lives in a magical land with a unicorn and fairys , woods, and water falls, when year round there is always a bloom somewhere I personally see to that,! Now that this has come full circle I can present you with gifts from your family,,

In the pouch is carved Rose quarts made into leaves,, and a carved heart,,intended for his wife, Rose Quartz was believed to be a healing stone, as well as a soothing stone,, Cloves hands were getting stiff at her age and made it hard to quilt at times,, ,, along with some waxed vine for sewing he had readied for Clove, and a Special gift for Clove he was going to give her the next day. .. a quilting needle threader that he had delicately pounded her name into and and a petrified leaf along with some fossil stones that was he found by a stream,, he was going to study that winter.
Grand PooBah was just about in tears as was the rest of the Village,, Oh I have to tell ya I was in tears,, It was sooooooo awesome to witness,!
