CHAPTER 10
The party held on GH Hotel that night could have been heard for many miles away. The music was drowned by the noise of happy cheers by the residents of GamersHood planet. No one questioned the idea to have fireworks fired off in broad daylight or letting roosters dance with chickens in the main ball room. It gave “the chicken dance” a totally new meaning. Everyone was happy and cheerful, telling jokes and making each other smile like the always used to. Escape was dancing again with her husbat, Doglover and Hollandgirl were debating whether one should use flower or flour when baking a cake, Mistery no 5 was actively trying to take notes of all the new interesting data about the behaviors of the GH residents and Hitman was being chased by many of the female residents for smooches. But Becky was absent in all the cheerful joys, she sat outside in the meadows staring helplessly at the sky. She had not seen Lilliputt since the slurp spiders had fled and there was no word from the other realm about her well being. She sighed. The urge to howl took over and she voiced her feelings loud and clear toward the sun. “You know, it’s not THAT late,” said Dazed in an attempts to cheer her friend up, “what’s the matter?”. “I want to know if Lilliputt is all right”, the wolf said unhappily, “there has not been a word, Dazed, not a single word from that place.””Well, it seems like Teeodd might have something for you then. He has asked to announce a message from The Labyrinth of Ancient Paths. Come on”, Dazed said with a smile and they both went back inside.
It was hard to get a good view because the ballroom was packed with people but somehow the wolf and her friend managed to get somewhat closer to the middle of the room. “Dear friends, you have shown great courage at the threat that you faced today. I am honored to be here with you and share this moment of victory!”, Teoodd began and was met by deafening cheers and cries of joy. He took a moment to let the crowd calm down. “However your world has suffered many blows and it is time to rebuild what has been broken. Carrot Island is still in many ways in shambles and you must together try and mend what got destructed by the storm that Mercator created. For those of you that are wondering about your little pink wigged lady Lilliputt, I am happy to say that she is doing very well and is resting on the realms beyond this one.”
The blur was about to give way to a sharper vision of the room were she was resting. Being tossed around in threads was not her idea of fun and it could not possibly be good for her health at her age. At least she refused to think so. Lilliputt sat up in her bed. She was back in that comfy place that had been her first experience of the palace at The Labyrith of Ancient Paths. Still woozy she tried to get off the bed. It was high time to pack her belongings and get back to her little cottage at Carrot Island. The carrots surely needed attention and who knew what her no good help Tiny Gumperball had been up to. Sleeping on the job most likely. She snorted. The packing got her so excited she hardly noticed the knock on her door. Brimful-Asha let herself in, this time dressed in a beautiful blue garment with golden patters. She stepped very lightly and smiled warmly at the little 85 year old lady. Lilliputt could have sworn that her feet grew ten feet and she froze in her step as she met the beautiful ladys gaze. Of course her nose decided to run so she had to blow her nose in front of Brimful-Asha. “I have such a way to make people feel welcome”, Lilliputt thought sarcastically and tried once again to hide her blushing cheeks to no avail. “I am going home!”, Lilliputt announced without hesitation, “my work is done here.” “But dear Lilliputt, your work has only begun,” Brimful- Asha replied still smiling, “the portal to GamersHood planet is not working and our powers are at a minimum for the time being because we had to use so much in order to defeat Mercator. Also, you have a whole new world here to explore and you will also need time to learn more of your abilities. If a webcrawler such as Mercator returns, you may need all the knowledge about your abilities you can get.” “But… my carrots,” Lilliputt tried sheepishly. “Your carrots will be well taken care of. No doubt will your kitten daughter need a break from her boss from time to time. I am sure she will see to your vegetables.”Lilliputt sat dawn on the bed and stared at her hands. She had not thought that there would not be a return back but maybe she did need to learn about those gifts that she had never really questioned. “When the time comes and your hut has been rebuilt on Carrot Island, you can do as you wish and go back. But for now, I was hoping you would accept our offer to become an apprentice.” “I don’t want to lose my friends and family, I need to stay in touch”, Lilliputt mumbled still staring at her hands. “As you remember, the hidden HTM river runs underneath us. It is an enchanted river. Put your message in a bottle and let the river carry it away,” Brimful-Asha adviced, “the reciver will always get it.” That did cheer the little lady up and she stood on her feet decisively. “I accept the offer”, she said. She walked out of the room and this is how The Labyrith of Ancient Paths got their oldest apprentice ever. Lilliputt became a Labyrinthian in the making.
