Mystical Calling; {Yellow Eyes}
By; Kathy Frizzell.


Slow rain starts; on this stormy night, the pathway goes for miles and miles in the garden of the forbidden forest. In a warm cozy little inn, but there was something different about this night. A warm fire, burning, lights were low, thunder roared and by myself deep in thoughts…
Everything was very quiet, I couldn't even hear the sounds of the wildlife that was all around, finally falling asleep. Was suddenly woken with a loud crash, and standing in my room was known as Yellow Eyes. {Do you know why I am here}! The only thought that comes to mind is I'm dreaming and that was not true.
A gust of wind blew, then there was no sound. What was going on I asked? Rubbing my eyes; "yellow eyes" was still standing in my inn. Words would not come out, the Ghost of Yellow Eyes said: {here cause you have been chosen to take a quest} and if you don't there will be consequences!
Yellow Eyes took me back to that time in the realms, what is called forgotten realms and let me see for what the Truth is and the truth is Ghost, Goblins, Vampires, Demons to even Hunters exist.
Now that the yellow eyes have come to ask; well challenging actually to take this quest will be difficult. But it could be kind of fun and I would get back with my old friends. But there is something you need to know about "yellow eyes; he is King keeper of demons souls" and back to the inn, Yellow Eyes is gone so it is a little chilly so since I was awake I put more wood on the fire and made a coffee then finally fell asleep.
Waking for a fresh start, went to the kitchen, put the kettle on, then put wood in the fireplace and then sat at the table in thoughts of my old friends. Having daydream; yellow eyes appeared, this is your second warning; now calling out my old owl {Jareth}, my brown owl, "hope he remembers me"? Hoot; replies it has been too long, can you gather my friends and come to the inn.
Cleaning up for company, here is something you need to know about my friends: {there is a Halfling, Dark Elf, Mage, Moon-Druid {me}, and Barbarian. Since I was cleaning, here comes my third warning; speaking about their classes, my friends are always there when I need them and my third warning ends with my quest in the Forgotten Realms to the Maze of Minotaur.
There are other realms; we have ventured to those other realms, many moons ago, with my old friends, "fought through everything like a brother in arms'', to save his "Majesty" King-Avery (Meaning: Ruler of the elves). But it is for another day; my friends should be here soon. Putting the kettle on, another log in the fireplace, waiting, for the clock strikes two and the doorbell rang and one by one my friends arrived.
Sitting around the table, catching up. {Jareth}, my brown owl, hoots again; that is the reason why I called you to come. Need to ask: can you all take a quest, to Forgotten Realms, to the Maze of Minotaur and fulfill a promise you made years ago!
It was so long you have to refresh my memory! Remember my old friend? That I mentioned earlier, well I didn't mention their names: Raistlin, Tasslehoff, Caramon, Attila and myself Goodmoon. Now that you have met my friends and drinking our coffee, we are talking about the promise you made!
It has been five years. You all went on your own adventure, myself I stayed and took residence here in Spirit Falls. So what have you all been doing? Raistlin said: {Master-of-Hounds}. Tasslehoff said: {Trapper }. Caramon said: {Hunter}, and Attila said: {Knight}. As for me; I just became a Shaman.
Now that is straightened out, the reason we are gathered at my inn an issue has come to my attention and I request your help! Hoot sounds from old owl {Jareth}, my brown owl with that loud bang came knocking at the door? Going forward to answer, Raistlin quickly hid behind the door, you see there is something you need to know. Since "Raistlin" was in Wizardry School, there was an accident to his eyes and the result was his eyes changed to be hourglass eyes.
Sounds a little extraordinary, but it is the truth and back to answering the door. Weary hands were placed on the handle, going to speak {mail call} and closed the door. Opening the package my old owl {Jareth} “hoots” wildly, a warning sign, I dropped the package and Tasslehoff jumps up and down. Let me do it.
Here is the missing piece. Puzzle piece. What did I make of this? My mind is going crazy with thoughts and getting back to the puzzle. We all are standing round the puzzle no one could speak, well Raistlin said we need to get to work.
Before we go forward on this puzzle do you remember when we were discussing it has been five years since you all decided to go our own ways and move on. Those years have been put aside. We need to talk about terms and yes we are friends {best friends} we are going to do this right!
I don't want to lose our friendship again. With that said we can now get started on the puzzle. Once the puzzle was completed we all gathered around the table and it was the first piece of the puzzle at the seashore inn.
Before the game starts there are more puzzle pieces. There is a reason I have asked for our assistance! I am in trouble. My friends; I didn't want to tell you all the truth. The truth is; "I made a promise to {the “Prince Balthasar”} and this special magical quest.
Our trip begins, sending {Jareth} fly's ahead and scouts ahead of the team. Looking around making sure there was no one around because what is about to happen is a magical rip in earth. That is how we travel from different realms. Along the way there is a small village.
It is mid afternoon. Looking around this doesn’t feel right. You know when something doesn’t feel right and your skill starts getting that creepy feeling that something about to happen. Should have trusted my gut because out of nowhere a half bird/human creature jumped out of the bushes and ambushed us.
After we won. We took a little rest. Trudging through the night it is now morning we are at seashore inn and getting the second piece of the puzzle. After a good night's rest before we ate breakfast and sitting there hit me. We have to make a plan. This second puzzle is a difficult one. You could say; “it’s a puzzler”!
This is when Tasslehoff put his little hands to the test. After all, he's a trapper. Here is why; {this next part is going to take skill, intelligence and patience}. This part is a little different and I'm going to send Caramon Attila to go with {him} Tasslehoff.
Raistlin and myself will wait here at Sea Shore Inn for it is just a day to the next inn. That is the plan. “Raistlin” thanked me. I knew he needed more rest. Why? Raistlin said. Tasslehoff and his team were gone. We have to talk to Raistlin. “I’m worried about you”. Your week. Your skin is changing why? There is some reason! Talk to me Rasitlin. We have time. Ok. “Goldmoon” here is the true story. You remember; when we went our separate ways and told you to go to The Tower of Sorcery. Yes. That is where the changes started.
We talked till wee hours of the morning. Having enough coffee to wake the dead. Finally I went to my room and had a good night's sleep. As for Raistlin, sleep gave him insomnia. It kind of fits. Sorcery got to him. If “Raistlin” took my advice eight years ago. I asked him to take time to research and {be sure that is what you} you want this.
After the years passed, Raistlin changed his field of work and took the consequences. It is good to know but I have to move forward and take the challenges more seriously. Raistlin is transported and he doesn't know how or why? Left my room to go for breakfast, got a cup of coffee and was run over by Caramon! What is the rush Caramon?
Nothing really. Tasslehoff said. Attila jumps in and says; we return with good news and some bad news. Going to tell you the bad news first. Where Tasslehoff does not look good at this point. Once he “Tasslehoff” tripped, lost the piece of the puzzle down a really small hole and Caramon hurt his chest. That is why we are a little late getting here. That we do have the puzzle piece. But it doesn't make any sense. When we put the two pieces together.
That is why {Jareth}, my old brown owl and I have something to say! Just about to open my mouth; Raistlin interrupted me. Wait for it {Goldmoon}. We have to do this together. Darkness covered the whole inn. Smog rolled in and silhouettes stepped out the darkness. I couldn't say how many but just can say lots.
Here is the part where you might or might not get freaked out and what I am about to say: “struggling with the ancestors, I am particle Shapeshifter” and sent Raistlin to the underworld. I hid this from you for years “I’m speaking” and here is the deal I made with Yellow Eyes. The {deal is; have to find and give back “the left golden Hand” of God}.
I say this now to give you all a choice. You can still keep fulfilling the promise you made me five years ago or leave “I give you all the chance of something I never got” and now I’m going to get more coffee. Returning to the table no one was there, ok said to myself I will do this myself. Finishing my coffee, I got up to leave, a boney hand touched my shoulder. Quickly turning around. Gabriel Van Helsing, {Brother}. Tears running to my eyes. Then my dearest friends also returned. We have to speak outside. Hiding in the long grass are hellhounds friends of Gabriel Van Helsing and not trying to change the subject but this part of the journey is going to take you underground.
“Goldmoon” speaks; brother, what are you doing here? This journey underground is not going to be easy, in fact very dangerous. That is I “Gabriel Van Helsing” have to accompany this to make sure you are safe. Not speaking as your older brother, but kind of king of the underworld. What you're saying is sneaky.
Now that is out of the way. Going underground; spooky, ghost tales and just going on the limb here but talking about it didn’t make it easier creepy crawlies came out of nowhere. Tasslehoff, stopped suddenly and said since he was the trapper in the group. Said; {head two feet forward, stop, take one jump forward} and then a creak was spotted by Attila. A bird/human with an army stood in front of us.
After squashing the army. Disappeared into a secret place. Stopped suddenly and Raistlin appeared with his Hellhound. Scarring anymore creepy crawlies out of the way for the next hour or so. Passing by with my brother and friends using little magic calling out my old owl and with the flapping of {Jareth} wings. Asked for him to go ahead of the team to meet at an inn that was very familiar with my brother and myself.
This was where we grew up. Bring up the past and out of the blue skeletons in the closets that were fixed. We are here now. Pulling out the two clues and setting them on the table. Moving from my cloak magical {The Marauder's Map} and making coffee for the group. I offered rooms for my friends for all they have helped. Getting a good night's rest.
Discussing where and what is going to be for the third clue. {Creepy walker}; Smokey clouds filled my head and then I heard the words. You're sleeping, the voice “well Yellow Eyes spoke”. What are you doing here? Telling you have all the clues in the puzzle. Wait! What do you mean? Not saying it again. You are good to go to the Forgotten Realms and go to the Maze of Minotaur. It is not going to be as easy as it has for your friends and your brother.
Waking with a good cup of coffee and having my brother by my side. Reminiscing of the good old days. Gabriel” said; {what are you thinking about}? As grabbing a pile of wood to put on the fireplace. “Plop” as if a bubble burst. Sorry I said. “Gabriel” just thinking all the times you had to help me out of the dumpster because the mean boys teased me for being different and not only that you always stuck up for me. Can I ask “Why”? Replying because you're my little sister. That's it.
Ok. enough of this mushy stuff. The rest of the gang should wake up soon. Well the coffee is on. The fire is warming up the place. Have all the maps open and ready to go. But there is something bugging me. I know you're the oldest but I am in charge. Not trying to take control but brother you know you always try to take control just cause I am young. Promise me! This time will be different. The words were spoken and the gang are now awake.
Showing the ROUTE and dividing up tasks each individual will need to do to accomplish the goal and something was about to change. “Tasslehoff” said; {I have something to tell you all} and should have told you before we got to this point. “Tasslehoff” said; {I’m not going with you} and I know that could be a change in our friendship but have been told well warned. Ok. something changed. I get it and they think I’m going to say come or don’t I have to do this.
No words were said. Putting more wood on the fireplace. Getting more coffee. Started reading the maps. Raistlin, Caramon, Attila, my brother also said I’m with you ok and since you all are going your not leaving me out in the cold Tasslehoff” said. So we are all in it together? Yes! We all yelled. Thank you again. Ok. nice that we are all in can we get on with it. Here is the Labyrinth. It's now mid afternoon here. I say let's start around 4am in the morning. They moved about the home.
“Raistlin” pulled me aside. What is with your brother? What do you do Raistlin? When we were underground, he went behind me and whispered I know your secret! What did he mean? Did you tell him? No I didn’t. Go ask him what he meant. “Gabriel Van Helsing,” Raistlin said. Can we talk?
Soon it was late in the evening. Everyone was sleeping. Me; {I was sitting in the rocking chair and chilling by the fireplace} when I was startled by Raistlin. What’s up? Why are you still awake? Couldn’t you sleep and why? Nothing really, just reminiscing the good old days and you are always there for me Goldmoon. Yah. will always be there for you. That is what best friends are for. You remember sorcery school. Ya; when I chickened out and left you to do yourself. Yah but I’m better for you leaving me to do.
It was very nice that we had this quiet night. But we should go to sleep. Early morning will come early enough. There is something I want to say; Goldmoon. Raistlin started to speak when “Gabriel Van Helsing” my brother walked in. What are you both still awake? Don't worry your pretty head brother, we are going to bed. It's not a laughing matter sister. You all have a lot of work ahead of you all.
We all arrived at the start of the Maze. Expect anything and everything. Also be safe. {Jareth}, my old brown owl started Hooting and appeared on my arm. We all stayed together and then something went wrong. We are separated. It was me, Raistlin, Caramon and the others consisted of my brother, Tasslehoff and Attila. What is going on? How come we are separated? Know that I am asking a lot of questions but not coming without answers. Something came out of it.
My brother, {“Gabriel Van Helsing” }, Tasslehoff and Attila were searching through the maze when they came across the Left Golden Hand of God. The Maze of Minotaur rose and standing there was the biggest of all Minotaur’s. Handing it over to the King of the maze of minotaur to the Gods to make peace to all that is real and not real. Coming forward all of us receiving the trophy was called out by old Yellow Eyes. Everything went dark, filling up with fog and smoke. Yellow Eyes pulled me aside. {Thank you for all your help}. You once again fulfilled your promise. You have the greatest friends in the whole wide world. Yes. I do! Friends are forever.
That ends the tale of Mystical Calling; Yellow Eyes. The owls are the best creatures in the world. They are the most beautiful animals and is a very special amazing being. Owls are the most beautiful creatures in the world and very mystical animals in the world. So if you find an Owl stop and take a very good look in their eyes because "yes" the eyes hold the truth!
