The blue breaded elf goes wandering where the odd voices came from.

Wilden was perplexing. He glances to his left.

There was the little blue ghost, gesturing the wizard elf to follow.

Wilden blinks his eyes once.

The blue bearded elf goes to the small spirit. Wilden crouched down. He efforts to touch it.

Then, the little blue ghost vanished.

The blue bearded elf gasped. "What is this thing?" Wilden whispered in his inquiry.

The blue bearded elf sits up. Wilden was bewildering. He blinked his eyes twice.

The trail of the little blue spirits appears. They are in front of the wizard elf.

The blue bearded elf tilted his head to his right. "What are they really?" Wilden whispered in his inquiry again.

The blue bearded elf considers himself that he has no idea where he was. Wilden decided to go follow the little blue ghosts.

Every time he goes near them, they disappears.

The blue bearded elf has been walking for a long while. Wilden scrolled thru the boulders. The trees. The creek.

And finally, the little blue spirits lead the wizard elf to the cottage.

The blue bearded elf surveys the place. Wilden was amused. "This is where I started my adventure. If this is the cottage, maybe the woodcarver woman is still here." He believes.

The blue bearded elf had to be sure. Wilden knocks on the door. The 'Shave and a Haircut' knocking rhythm.

The blue bearded elf was waiting for her to answer patiently.

The door opens itself.

It was the witch with her raven.

She was pleased. "Oh, lad! Welcome to the Drafty Carver's!" The witch greeted.

The black bird was not thrilled. "Oh it's ye again." The raven spoke.

Wilden was puzzled with his smile. "Drafty Carver's?" He asked.

She gestured to her inside of her house. There are various novelties, household items and more. Every one of the wood structures are bears. "My shop of wood, lad." The witch answered in her explanation.

The black bird narrowed its eyes.

The blue bearded elf chuckles. "Heh, I see you have a thing with bears." Wilden utters.

She giggled. "Such beauty of the forest's creature, aren't they?" The witch inquired.

The blue bearded elf chuckled. "I know they are more than just bears, madam." Wilden stated.

She giggles. The witch was happy. "It's understanding. Now, check out anything ye like, lad. Everything is half off." She said.

The blue bearded elf shook his head. "Oh no, it's all right, madam." Wilden said.

The witch heads to her best sellers products. "Of course, this may be your interest to purchase." She said. The witch showed him two bears playing teeter-totter. They each go up and down, depending where the pot of honey lands.

The blue bearded elf shook his head again. "Okay I'm not here to go shopping." Wilden said.

She tried another product to show. "This thing will be mesmerizing for your lounging time." The witch persuades. The bear was trying to catch some jumping fishes. The sea creatures continues rotating to the bear.

The blue bearded elf got a feeling that he had to get his point. Wilden was smiling yet difficult. "I accomplished my prophecy!" He exclaimed.

She halted herself. The witch was baffled. "What was that, lad?" She wondered.

The blue bearded elf clears his throat. Wilden was delighted. "I said I accomplished my prophecy. I did what you want me to do here." He mentioned.

The blue bearded elf was grinning yet nervous. "So, may I go back to my home world please?" Wilden asks politely.

The witch ponders for a short time.

Afterwards, she was annoyed. "No." The witch answers.
