Critter Adventures in the Fairelands – Bunlings in Sanguinely Garden

“Do you think they eat paint?” Bunlings stared at the rainbow forming between the two elephants.

The smaller bunling shook his head. “Paint smells bad. Must be bad nom.” He perked his ears. “Maybe they eat colourful noms!”

“Strawberries ‘n kiwis ‘n blueberries ‘n-“ They stared at the rainbow’s colours for a long moment, trying to think of berries and fruit in all the colours.

“…cakes?”

“Yas! Hoomans make keiks in all colours, isgud.”

“So they eat noms, ‘n then they… breathe colours!”

Bunlings watched for a moment more, satisfied with this idea.

“Best magic show in the Fairelands.”

Critter Adventures in the Fairelands: Squirrels on the Celestial Plain

“I think they’re treasures! Falling treasures. ‘s why they’re shiny!” The first stargazing squirrel nodded decisively.

The second squirrel shook his head. “Nuh uh. Nuts. A big sky creature is dropping nuts on hooman heads.”

The first squirrel tilted his head, peering up at the shooting stars. This theory did make quite a bit of sense to him.

“Then why are they glowing?”

A moment of silence as both squirrels scratched their heads. Then the second one nodded again. “Sky magics. The nuts in the sky are glowy, see! There must be a huge forest up there, ‘n we can see just the glowy nuts!”

“Ooooooo.” The first squirrel tilted his head, pondering this. “Maybe there’s a harvest going on and they’re shaking the trees!”

“Yes! ‘n maybe, mayyybe if we find one sky nut, it’ll be a feast for whole family tree!”

Critter Adventures in the Fairelands: Bunlings in Thornfast

“Maybe it’s a nice hotel for critters?” Bunling’s voice was slightly hesitant, albeit hopeful.

“With noms and spa and waterslides and clean under-couches and soft pillows and and-“ The other bunling sounded excited, although her ears were lowered.

“Yes!” The first bunling exclaimed, then peeked around nervously, in case something had heard him.

Neither bunling hopped up the next giant stair. The first one scuffed a small paw against the stone. The second examined her ear.

“Maybe the others went there, too?” Now both rose to hindpaws enough to try to peek toward the looming structure.

“Maybe we could knock on the threshold?”

“The gate is closed, there can be no hoomans inside.” Critters, naturally, would fit through the bars.

“Nor anything bigger!” This thought cheered them up considerably.

The first bunling raised his ears and hopped one step up. “Are we brave adventurers or bunlings!”

“Bunlings.” The second one hopped up despite her answer.

Hop by huge gravity-defying hop they moved toward the giant castle. Curiosity kills only cats, after all.

Critter Parade in the Fairelands

“Are you SURE this is the queue for the nom kiosk?” The fourth bunling sounded a bit dubious and tilted his ears matchingly.

“Of course!” answered the first bunling. “Just look at all of those locals lining up! They wouldn’t do that without a good reason.”

The other three bunlings nodded in unison. It made sense. They knew there was no better reason to queue than noms, after all. They stood still for another long moment before the second bunling piped up.

“But I don’t smell any noms!”

The other three sniffed the air thoughtfully. Grass. Flowers. Salty splashy big water. Sun-warmed stone. No noms.

“Maybe we should go see where the end of the line is?”

There was considerable headtilting at this. The third bunling nosed his ear in ponderings.

“Wouldn’t that be rude? They look like they’ve been waiting a long time.”

More nodnodding took place. Bunlings didn’t want to cut the line, they were happy to wait their turn.

“Maybe the kiosk isn’t open yet, and the queue will be shorter later on?”

This thought received several oooo-sounds and agreeing tail-wiggles.

“I know, let’s go find the others! ‘m sure they’re here… somewhere.”

Bunlings had journeyed into the Fairelands with a group of critters, but they had all hopped through different portals in the Junction, and scattered after all the squeesome things and magical scents.

“A QUEST!” the first bunling exclaimed, proud to remember the tricksy word. “We shall find them, ‘n then get rewards!”

“What kind of rewards?” The other bunlings were wide-eyed with excitement. The fourth one almost felled over.

The first bunling pondered for a moment, then nodded so deep his whiskers touched the ground. “Flags. There will be flags.”
