Laqaixit Tewee

LAQAIXIT TEWEE enjoyed writing this eight-book, multiple-story adventure drawing upon her life experiences both as a child growing up in a rural environment and as an world traveler. In this final Magical Swan episode, the author causes the conclusion of the Silverrealm epic to have a surprise twist that unites all of the Winterbloom and Magical Swan - Series I - books, and The Magical Swan and the Chronicles of Silverrealm Series II - stories together at last. Twenty-five years after having begun the story by hand and having gone through 4 computer crashes she is grateful to see it finally published. Had she known at the start that she would be painting a total of 465 illustrations for the entire series under her artist name Dancing Light she might not have had the courage to publish such a large endeavor.

PREFACE

BOOK6-2.tif

JOURNEY to WOODSDALE Winterbloom learns how to meet new people as she and her magical friends leave the Shiverchills cottage and start their journey to Silverrealm via Molly and Farmer Jones and the Woodsdale Market where she encounters hawkers.

BOOK6-3.tif

UNLIKELY WARRIORS continues The Chronicles of Silverrealm series setting the stage for the battle strategies when the Magical Swan returns to the Kingdom of Silverrealm where the evil Terrornorest is now in power, and Winterbloom is chosen along with some unexpected companions to go on to Richland to recruit soldiers for THE BATTLE OF THE REALM (in BOOK 10 of the series). His choice of warriors comes from unlikely beings and places. Even so it is with God. The Bible says: You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you . . . We sometimes wonder what God may be doing in our lives. But he has a future and a hope for those who love him and he assured us that all things work together for the good of those who love Him. (THE BIBLE: John 15:16; Jer. 29:11; and Rom. 8:28).

BOOK6-4.tif

THE SKY WARRIORS IS BASED ON INDIAN LEGENDS of the Northern Hemisphere where the phenomena of the Aurora Borealis is so well known. A story of a father meeting Sky Warriors of the Aurora Borealis, because of courageously facing that which he feared the most and how his brave young son grew up with a special protector.. So it is in our real world: sometimes courage is formed out of facing dangers and trusting that God will take care of us, instead of running away from the difficulties of life. So with the magical pen of imagination, this story is about powerful beings of superb beauty and ordinary people who are not afraid of facing them as challenges in their lives.

CHAPTER 1

THE JOURNEY TO WOODSDALE

Travel Companions

BOOK6-10.tif

ONE BRIGHT MORNING WINTERBLOOM’S Guinea hens awakened her at sunrise, clucking and tapping at the door in their eagerness to get out and look for some unwary insects. Winterbloom yawned and stretched and told them Looks to me as if you each want to be the early bird that gets the worm. O.K., O.K. I’m coming. She stood up, brushing off some lingering pieces of straw and walked over to the front door sliding off its wooden bar to open it. The sunlight caused her to quickly shield her eyes from its bright rays with her arm. There you go, Peck and Scratch, enjoy yourselves. Then she led Baabaa outside and tethered her to a grassy knoll.

It’s a beautiful day for a trip to Miss Molly’s and the Market of Woodsdale, don’t you agree, Winterbloom? said the Magical Swan who was just fluffing out his magical feathers. Do you remember that today is baking day at the Jones’ Farm?

I had lost track of the days, Magical Swan, this summer has gone by so fast. That’s a wonderful plan for us to go there again. But why do we have to go to Woodsdale?

Look at your dress, Winterbloom. It is much too short for you to wear anymore, especially if we’re going to take a long journey. In fact you need to put on Grandmother Shiverchill’s poncho that she left behind, to cover your legs.

Oh, I’m certain that poncho is much too big for me, Magical Swan, it will drag the ground with me in it.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. replied the Swan. Go ahead and try it on. coaxed the Swan.

Winterbloom walked inside over to the right of the fireplace, whose coals had died down in the night, and lifted the old dark blue poncho off of its wooden peg, slipping it on. She was surprised to discover that it didn’t drag the ground like she had anticipated. Maybe that’s why Grandmother left this poncho behind; mused the young teenager, it was too short for her. She was pleased when she noticed how the cloak covered her knees.

See, didn’t I tell you! exclaimed the Magical Swan. Now no one will look at you strangely when you go to the Woodsdale market to buy a new dress

WINTERBLOOM DECIDES TO PART WITH

BAABAA the EWE

BOOK6-11.tif

Winterbloom told Baabaa the ewe that she was to be taken

to market to be sold.

But how will I ever pay for my dress? she asked.
