An Epic Saga with Kelli and Cathy
MC Part One
Kelli Part Two
Cathy Part Three
MC Part Four ⤵⤵
The princess stares in horror as she listens to their plans
Briefly, she considers running for the castle to warn the king
But with a hop, skip, and jump the toad takes Ingrit by her hands
While the shrew and raven find a place to roost, she stands quaking
*
Explaining to her that she is an important part of the whole ruse
The toad calmly leads them all back up the tree-lined lane
Once he explains the system, carefully to make sure not to confuse
The raven then asks Ingrit, “Or would you rather wear a chain?”
*
The princess croaks, trying to speak, as a tear falls from her eye
Nodding her head, Ingrit motions she’ll go along with their scheme
The shrew, watching the princess closely, says, “She tells a lie.”
The toad flicks his tongue, and Ingrit hears the captured fly scream
*
Heading to the castle, Ingrit takes the menagerie to her chamber
Careful thought is needed before her plan can be put into motion
One way or another, one of their plots would be over by September
There has to be some way to break this curse, a kiss, spell, or potion

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Hope she'll find a solution!
This is so good.
Well-wrought! Cathy warned me there might yet be an icky toad-kiss...
Haha! This reminds me of those pass the paper stories I did once upon a time, really can become quite an adventure with multiple creative authors playing off of one another
Great story! Fun, fun!❤️
Ha. That was fun. But my shrew turned into a mouse somehow. Whatever, close enough. I did my part. 😀
We await the revelation, great collaborative fun
Huh, I wonder what would break the curse
Fantastically done as always, MC. 😁 Intrigued to see where it goes. I'm secretly hoping for a hundred parts to the story. ♥️
Good luck figuring out what your mischief has wrought, lol.
