#145 : Celebrate

..............................................................................................................................................

Everyone was dressed up and getting ready to party. The plan was that they would make a grand entrance and parade as a Group to the Pool Deck. There they would split up and everyone would go their separate ways. Of course there was CosPlay. It was just too tempting an occasion to pass up.

“Dragon Lady” Captain said in awe “You look Magnificent.”



“I second that” Marc said.

“Why thank you gentlemen.” Kamiko replied. She was pleased. “You two don’t look half bad yourself, nice legs”

Actually they did look pretty “bad”, intentionally. The Orcs were in full ‘intimidation’ mode, complete with phony double bladed staffs. They had other weapons that were real but they were much less visible, concealed even.


The door chimed, then opened by it self. The ArchMage swept into the room. If Dragon force exuded menace then the ArchMage radiated terror.

“You can cut back on that low frequency audio there buddy.” Marc commented. “It’s making me need to go pee.”



He did that. Then he was no longer scary. He looked like everyone’s favorite grandpa with a staff. He even wore legs for the occasion.

“Works pretty good doesn’t it?” Elvira said. She was no longer a “little’ dragon. She was impressive all by her own self, larger than a Clydesdale.


“It was nice of everyone to wear legs. Ok. Let’s get this show on the Road” the Dragon Lady said ”I’m getting hungry.”

“At thy command” Shelby said and waved his wand. A pair of dragons materialized, hitched to an open coach,



Tatsu climbed onto the driver’s platform. Shelby assisted the dragon lady into the open carriage then he climbed aboard Elvira. Two other Dragons, appeared for the Orcs to mount.

“Don’t we need some spears or something?” Marc whispered to Captain.”We left them leaning against a door I think.”

“Ssssst.” Captain replied “Cain’t I take you out in public anymore?”

“Not a bad idea actually” Shelby agreed then waved his wand again. Each of the Orc’s suddenly found themselves juggling a Halberd. They looked sharp too.

“Careful what you wish for.” Marc mumbled.

“Because you might get it.” Captain finished.

With stately demeanor and background music the small party departed. Shelby led, riding Elvira first. Then he was followed by the Dragon Lady. Next he two Orcs followed side by side on somewhat, not much, smaller versions of Elvira. No sooner had they left the residence of the Dragon lady than they were joined by the other Maggi who were decked out for the festivities in similar fashion. Chad and Joshua were mounted on their Daemons, grown large, who had also transformed into versions of Elvira.

Cody, the RowdyBunch and Wilbur were dressed for the occasion appropriately.



Everyone likes a parade. Humans like ceremony and ritual. Dragon Force provided some that day. DragonForce Central’s was located at the north pole. The Maggi had conjured a rainbow bridge that spiraled downward, around and around, inside the mother matrix near the walls, to the pool deck far below.

People lined their route, cheered and flew over head and about. Someone had fabricated a bunchaton of flower petals which were being dropped before them, and on them as they marched.

Today was feast day. Why not? Any day is a good day to party. Today they had a special reason.

They were alive.

Much of the world was not. Much of the population had succumbed to the eternal rain.

They had NOT!

They had survived The End Of The World As They Knew It and had THRIVED! They had just moved into their new home to prove it.

When they eventually made their way to the pool deck the parade stopped. DragonFarce disbanded and everyone went their separate ways. Enough of a good thing is enough.

Time to Party.

When watching the LameStream FakeNews Media

it's hard to tell what’s true or when they are lying isn’t it? It seems that they are more interested in influencing public opinion than they are reporting the facts.
