Episode Four (4)
When you talk to the trees they listen to you, and if you are wise you will know they can take messages.
Now the Green Man had discussed the plan that Cedric had decided on and had agreed to contact the magician. The trees were very - very pleased to help as the plan was to help get rid of the loggers from the forest; they had quickly taken the message to the magician. And the dragons were pleased when the magician had agreed. The magician was also worried that too many trees were being cut down, and that it would upset the ecology; and it was certainly upsetting the poor trees.
Sunray the wood sprite sat on the desktop in the magicians study, he was very nervous but the magician was very kind, and he had told his housekeeper to bring some lemonade and some very tiny cupcakes for his visitor. Now the magician carefully mixed some powders that he had taken from the cupboard in the corner of the study, finally he was finished and then looking over his spectacles he said to Sunray. ‘Now you understand you are to sprinkle the powder on the machines. I have explained exactly how much; and you are not to let anyone else have these small packets of powder. Dragons cannot open these small packets of powder and you seem to be a very trusted wood sprite so it will be your task and no one else. Do you understand?
‘Yes sir, just me, no one else. Will you tell the Green Man that, he can explain that to the dragons as they might not understand me; I am only a wood sprite and dragons are very big.’ Sunray was worried that the dragons might not be happy for him to be in charge, and then insist on taking the powders themselves to sprinkle.
‘I have already told the Green Man and he will explain what I have said to the dragons, you need not worry,’ said the magician as he carefully put several packets into Sunrays backpack. ‘There that’s everything packed away, now you must be very careful and go straight back to the Green Man, do you understand?’
‘Yes sir, straight back to the Green Man, may I go now?’ Sunray was in a hurry to go on his way, he liked the magician, but he was very nervous being in the study of such an important man.
‘Yes, be on your way and remember you are in charge of the powders. Off you go now.’ The magician watched the little wood sprite quickly fly off through an open window and then settled down at his desk with a sigh. So it was decided upon – the dragons would lift the machines and take them deep into the forest and place them in one of the very – very deep lakes and they would never be seen again. When lifting them they would make them invisible for a short time so that nobody who might be not sleeping in their beds wouldn’t see them floating off into the air.
Florence listened to Cedric in surprise. ‘You didn’t tell me what you were planning it sounds very dangerous to me! And what does the Green Man and the magician say about your so called plan?’
‘They agree, and that is why Sunray has the powder. He will sprinkle the machines before we lift them, and that will make them invisible, and much lighter than normal. Then with the creepers we will lift them and take them...’ before Cedric could finish Florence very rudely walked out of the cave looking very unconvinced.
‘Typical of Cedric, always thinks up silly ideas and then tells me when it’s too late. Well all I hope is that it works – still we shall find out tonight’
The machine lift is for the next episode.
