Elli decided to help her friends. Together with her uncle - the onelegged sailor Charlie Black, which has had ever very good ideas and ever know help she went away. They builded a ship with wheels to cross the desert, climb then over the world encopassing mountains and came finally to the magicland. The battle with Urfin and his woodsoldiers was long and very hard, but elli and her companions wons finally. Urfin Juice was banned and the woodsoldiers became a friendly face, ´cause the whise scarecraow thought, that they´re only so bad and evil, ´cause they have unfriendly faces. He got right. After the woodsoldiers became the new faces - the was very kind and peacefull. After the victory about Urfin, Elli and her uncle Charlie goes back to Kansas. Arachna readed the story about the honorless end from Urfin and she felt pitty with him, ´cause she liked his evil and jealous character. " i must remember myself on him!" thought Arachna. Too the destiny of Ruf Bilan, the highest minister under King Urfin the 1. interested her very much. Ruf Bilan became a minister, after he traitored his homeland, ´cause he opened the Citygates for the enemies. After urfin was dethroned, Ruf flees to the subterranean caves, ´cause he was afraid before the punishment. But at his escape he lose his way in a labyrinth and he came to the spring of the holy sleepwater. Ruf Bilan slays a hole in the wall and the stones interrupted the spring and no holy sleepwater came out of it. ( You can read it in " The 7 subterranean kings" ) Book 3. For this criminal act he was punished by the governed king to be for the rest of his live a servant. After the holy sleepwater was lost a great chaos brokes out in the subterranean country. All the kings and the royal courts couldn´t fall to sleep anytime. And the people must worked very hard to gave the kings and courst enough to eat ´n´drink. The people started to be hungry in every minute. Exact at this time Elli come to the subterranean country. " A really curious girl" She must be a fairy!" Thought Arachna."

"She must be a fairy! When i meet her, i´ve to pluck a chicken with her!!" Elli and her cousin Fred Cunning droved on the subterranean river with a boat to the cave of the seven subterranean kings. Ruf Bilan has lied, as he said that Elli can bring back the holy sleepwater. The seven kings explained, that they´ll captured Elli and Fred so long,´til the hloy water floats again.This message brought a running herold to the wise scarecrow. And the scarecrow, the iron woodworker and the lion walked trough the magic lands to set Elli and her cousin Fred free. Lestar, a very smart and clever mechanics and a group of woodheads walked with the scarecrow. They needed the group of woodheads, ´cause they wear the pump, the drill and other tool. They bored a very deep shaft, brought the pipe down ´til they founded that holy water. After the holy water floats again, they told the sven kings they could make that, ´cause they have a great magic power. " Yeah, so it must have been..." said Arachna very low and shaked her head. As the sleeping water was again there, the wise scarecrow has had a mind. He let all seven kings fall to sleep and after they awaked like little babys, they told them one was a weaver, another was a horsesmith, the thirt , that he was a peant and so on. After a short time everyone has a really professionalship and the governent of the seven kings was gone away. The subterranean metaldigger moving at the overterranean world under the sun. They builded villages and lived happy everly after. Tomorrow more... Eirene

They built villages and lived happy everly after. " So, so, you think, you´re free?? Feel my punishment for your revolution!!" said Arachna with a frozen smile. In the last days, where Elli ( Ally ) was at the metaldiggers, she met again the queen of the mouses, Ramina. The queen prophecided her, that she never come back to the magicland. The scarecrow and every other friend of Elli became very sad, as they listened this. They promised her, to keep her memories alive for all people of the magicland. That little girl from the great world become a friend for everyone here. Elli and her cousin Fred settled down on the brave and domestic dragon Oicho and flyed back to Kansas. Arachna asked Kastaglio: " Say it to me and be honestly to me!!! The prophecy of queen Ramina become true? Elli never come back to our magicland?!" " Please read on, oh great witch Arachna! In our chronicles all is written down." The firegod of the marransArachna readed on and the scroll told her now something about Urfin Juice and how he lived a boring life in his seperate house in the land of the chewers. ( the people of this country became this name, ´cause it seems that they ever chew, BTW they lived in the blue country - wich governed a long time by Gingema ) ( you can read it in " The firegod of the marrans " Book 4 At the last ten years Urfin worked in his garden, as something really unusually happend! In the near of his house the giant eagle Karfax crashed down. He was hard wounded after a fight. Urfin cares about him and they became friends by the time. The smart ´n´clever Urfin promised Karfax, which was a very honorfull bird, that he has only one mind: to make other people happy. But to make this true he must be a king of a backward and unknowing people. Under his goverment those people they became rich and happy. The backwardest people in the magicland was the jumper, which living seperate in a dale between the mountains. They called themself Marrans and they was so much backward, that they didn´t knew the fire. Urfin used this unknow as he came down in a dark night on the back of Karfax with a great burning torch in his hand. His purpur cloak shimmering like flames, they comes down from the sky. He said them, that he was the firegod and he came down on earth to make this people happy. The marrans believed him and so urfin conquered the land of the jumper. Eirene

Any question?! Not?! Then let´s read on! Urfin conquered the land of the jumpers. He pulled all lords and shamans on his side, as he built palaces for them - now they don´t must lived a small and cold hut. He learned them to cook very delicous diner and to live in luxus - and it tokes no long, so they standing always behind him. But the people gets poorer and poorer and they started to become to live in bad luck and hungry. The people was discontented and Urfin told them, that the other countrys was blamed on this situation. " Here you don´t find your luck!" said Urfin to the marrans. " I´ll bring you out of your barren country, ´cause you can conquer all the rich dales with delicous fruitgardens and a lot of cattle! We´ll taken the countrys of the twinkles and chewers and we make the emeralds of Emerald City to ours!!" The pugnacity marrans follows him and in a very short time, Urfin has had a strong and great army. He captured the iron woodworker and conquered the twinklers. He lead his army in a war against that Emerald country . At this time, the woodheads has built, under the leadership of the wise scarecrow, a great canal arround Emerald City and maded so to an island. But the soldiers from Urfin built a bridge, stormed the city and the wise scarecrow, the longbearded soldier Din Gior and the keeper of the gates, Faramant, becomes again to prisoners. And again came a girl and a boy from the great world to set them free. Arachna readed this part and smiles - but just a little bit. " I knew, that Ramina was wrong! Elli came back to the magicland!" But as she reads on, she become to know, that the girl wasn´t Elli, but Ann - her little sister. Ann and her friend Tim O´Kelly listened very often, as Elli speaks about her adventures and both are dreaming sonce a long time ago from the magicland. Now her wish comes true...! They came trough the great desert and the world encopassing mountains on a back if some wounderfull mules, but about the mules in the chronicles nothing exactly was written. All, what the chronist knews was, that the mules needed the sunlight as food. Ann and Time came in that country of Nosefine XVI., where they does a great servant to the king of the foxes. He shows her his thankfulness, ´cause he give her a silverring as a gift. This ring has have a magic power -he makes his wearer invisible. With this ring and the magic box - where you could all see, what happens in the world - ( the scarecrow became it as an gift from the good fairy Stella ) gaves er a unbelievble servant in the fight against the clever Urfin.

Yeah, Elli ( or Ally in english ) is only another name for Dorothy. on The children seted the iron woodworker and the wise scarecrow free and treked with them to the purple country, where the revolution against the goverment of the marrans was just finished. Urfin fought a battle ahgainst Ann and her friends. As his army came to the purple palace, played the twinklers their final game in Volleyball, which became to be the championship of the purple country. ( That game Volleyball has had Tim O´Kelly learned them ) The marrans was very in rage, ´cause Urfin told them, that all their familys and friends - which stayed in the purple country, was murdered by the twinklers, cutting in little pieces and became to be food for the piggs. And the marrans called for revanche. But as they want fight the last death bringing battle, they saw a lot of their friends and familymembers under the players, from this Urfin told them, that they was murdered. And they sawed that the "murdered people" was laughing with the twinklers. The marrans understanded now, that "the firegod" was a betrayer, who brought only war and hate to became the goverment of the countries. Urfin saw, that his plans was failed again, he fleeds like a coward. "Poor guy, he has had great plans - but he hasn´t the dexterity!" said Arachna very low. She readed on, like the soldiers of both armys was united, create mixed teams and played volleyball. Tim and Ann rides on their mules back to Kansas. That happend before a year ago. Urfin Juice resistance the enticesArachna needs more than a few weeks to read at the end the long history from that, what happend in the last decades in the magicland. But after she has finished, she felt some strange thirst for action. She felt sadness, that she has had sleep so long at all this time full wonders. " If i didn´t sllep so long like a stupid goose, i´ve showed those governers what a Arachna can do!!" In her dreams and visions she saw herself in a royal purple cloak and as queen above the magicland. Not only above the wise scarecrow or the iron woodworker - no - she want to govern about the proud fairys Willina and Stella. Of an order of herself, the dwarfs treked under the leadership from Kastaglio to looking for urfin Juice and to bring him to the cave of Arachna. later more Eirene

on But did the dwars, what was ordered by them? And explained the king from once to be a servant for Arachna? To know this, we must go back one year ago and let´s see what happend with the dethroned govener. The marrans neither the twinklers want his death of the betrayer. It was punishment enough for them , to let the wrong firegot go - dishonored and with shame.The loyal master patz ( another name for a bear ) has leaving his lord and the loyal woodclown Eot Ling ( he brought both to live with the magic powder - you can read it in " the clever Urfin and his woodsoldiers" ) has he lost in the chaos. Only the owl Guamoko ( that was the owl from the witch Gingema )stayed at him now. Now she placed herself on his shoulder and whispering in his ear: "Don´t be discouraged...be strong... we´ll pay all back to them...!!" Urfin understands what the owl told him, and that she wanna give him a new hope. For this he felt thankfulness in his heart. But the shame was very hard for him. He remember hisself, how he was riding on Karfax´s - the gianteagle - back to the marrans. How impressiv he was at this time in his purple cloak and with the burning torch in his hand. They has accept him as an god and layed the destiny of the people in his hands. But what he has done for them? He has made the rich people richer and the poor people became poorer. He brought the hate in their haerts and leaded them in to a war against their neighbors. And now that all revanched on him... Where he must go now? In this country nobody exists, which he could call him a friend. His little house he has burned down, as he went away. Now he stands with empty hands and a unknown destiny here. All, what was his own property was left in the army of the marrans: cloth, tools, weapons... Should he go back and pleasing for forgivness? Of course they would gave al back to him - but would he see their pitty...?! No way!! Urfin walked out faster. "Only far, only farther away from here..." he thought. "Nobody has dieing on hunger here in the magicland" Thought Urfin "On the trees are fruits enough and leaf to build a hut where i can sleep for a night..." Tomorrow more Eirene

on After he quited hisself he remember that he has hiding his joiner tools in his cellar before he burned down his own house: Axes, saws, drills and other tools. He believed that the fire don´t coming to the cellar - also the tools must been there! "I was twice a joiner and twice a king" he thought with an sour smile. " Now i´ll be a joiner again for the thirt and last time..." " We got no other chance, my lord." said the owl. "let´s go back to our home, we´ll build there a new house and live inside, ´til we´ve another idea." "Oh, Guamoko, Guamoko", sigh Urfin "Don´t try to feel me better and don´t make me courage with empty hopes! I´m not so young anymore and i havn´t the power to wait of a miracle ten years again. Don´t call me lord anymore - just say master!!" "As you ordered, master!" answered Guamoko. The way back to the blue country was very hard for Urfin and his owl. Every nighthe built a hut of leaf, ´cause he dont want frozen. He couldn´t make a fire, ´cause what he needs to do this, stayed in the army of the marrans. He eated fruits and wheat, which he founded on the fields. The owl brought him often turkeys, which she has chasing, but Urfin couldn´t eat them without cooking and so he gave it back to her. Sorry, i´m tired! Tomorrow more... ! Eirene

on He became very thin and a 5 days beard growed in his face. The remind always was in his head and he asked hisself again and again: " I was happy, as i govenered the magiclands? " "Nope, i wasn´t happy! " he must say honestly to himself. " I got my power with force and everyone hates me for this. Everyone on my royal court only does so as they liked me, but in truth they hates me, ´cause i giving high positions to them. Why i want to have such power?! Why...?" But he couldn´t answer this questions. After he comes, with an float, across the great river, he must think on his woodarmy, they was falling in to the water as he conquered the Emerald City. " Why couldn´t take the river them away - for ever?! Damned living powder! Why i must discovered that! That powder was blamed on this situation! " Urfin was glad, as he came to the yellow brickstone way. He felt, like the way says "hello, go on!" to him. and his home came close and closer and the friendly chewers looked at him - they´ve forgotten all the bad things, that he has done to them. The little, bluedressed people, they weared blue spitz hats too with a lot of little bells on it, they invided the tired traveler very often to eat and drink in their blue houses. On the blue table are standing blue dishes with delicous eatn and the laughing womans gave it all to the hungry guest. Once or twice he has sleeping a night in such an house... His frozen heart warmed up inside. " How can that be?! I´ve done a lot of evil to this people, i´ve only dreamed to conquered them, but they have forgotten all my evil actions. They are so friendly to me...It seems to me, i´ve not so lived, as i should do it." he considered. But Urfin didn´t say that to the clever and bad owl. He knews, that she wouldn´t go along with this. One day - it must been by the lunchtime - he stands before his burned down house again. From the house nothing was left and so he goes in to the cellar. He opened the door and founded all his tools so, as he lefted this. A single tear drop runs about his beard...! " The chewers are so kind!" He decided to move far away from Kogida, closer to the world encopassing mountains. " The people must forget me and my evil actions. That happens only, if i move so quick and so far how it´s possible to me." he thought. But before he leaves his home, he wanna say good bye to them and his garden, which e has cared with so much love. As he goes to the garden he saw a plant with dorned and great leaf. " Oh no, the magic plant...!" Tomorrow more...! Sweet dreams for everyone! Eirene

on He got right. That was the plant, which has given him that magic powder before such a long time ago. " Are the seeds awaked from their long sleep?! Or was it again the wind - and he has taken the seeds with him? " He reminds himself, that few days before, comes up a great blizzard. " Maybe that storm has brought they to my garden again. " And the owl was very happy. Urfin become in a very great entice and he thought " THAT is that miracle, which one Guamoko has meant. I don´t have to wait such a long time... no ten years of a miracle...it´s happend yet...i see it with my own eyes...!" He put the plant, but after a torn has hurted him, he tokes his hands back. " I don´t make the old errors again after all the expierences they i´ve made. Now i can made 500...no 1000 woodheads create, they all listen to me...but why only woodheads?? Unhurtable, flying monsters i wanna create... wooddragons, so fast - like an Thunderstorm, which came down on the humans." Such minds are running in his head and let his eyes shimmering. "What do you say, Guamoko - to our new gift of our destiny?!" he asked the owl. "What i must say? Make so many powder as you can, create an army and let´s fight back! Let´s fight back hard!" she answered. But the minds from urfins travel, wasn´t gone. He has changed his soul. He placed himself on a woodstump and considered, what he must to do. " All the tears, the blood and the pain would come back...no, i don´t want that anymore...!!" He goes into his cellar and toke a spade. Tomorrow more...sweet dreams for everyone... Eirene

on Urfin tokes a spade and started to digging out the plants. The owl was very despairing about this. " Please use this powder! Don´t let go your luck away, if it smlies at you!! Only a fist of powder, please! You can never know, what all happens in our future!! " Urfin didn´t listen to her. He burned the plants and the ashes he hidded deep under the earth. Then he put it all together and went away. Guamoko was in rage and so she didn´t following him. Two hours later, Urfin listened the wings of Guamoko in his back. " I considered to myself, master." said Guamoko very low. " You got right. That magic powder has had brought us only a bad luck after the other. It was very wise, to keep your hands away from it. " Of course, the owl was lying, how she could change her mind so fast! She said this only about one reason: she has lived always with humans and it was boring to her to be alone in the forest. Urfin knew that, but he was agree with this, ´cause he didn´t liked the lonlyness too. The way to the mountains endured a few days. As they was near by, Urfin saw a beautyful meadow with an crystal clear river and trees with uncountable fruits on it. " A really nice place for living! " said Urfin and the owl meant that too. Urfin built a hut and a garden here for himself and his owl. His days was filled now with work and worries and the memories of his hard past gone with every day a little bit more. One year later the dwarfs of Arachna founded him there. That was a very hard way for the dwarfs, ´cause they was very small and their leggs are short. More than three or four miles they couldn´t go on a day. And to find out, where Urfin lived now - that wasn´t even simple. As Kastaglio and his companion came to the blue country, said the chewers that Urfin has leaving his country again. They asked the animals and after a long way, the dwarfs came to Urfins weadow, where his new hut stands. Before AOL interrupts my link to you... Eirene

on Urfin was very surprised as he saw this little guy with his long and grey beard at his feets. For almost 40 years he lived in the magicland, but he has never listened something about the dwarfs. But he knews also, that the miracles never ends in this magicland. Urfin regreats the dwarfs and asked after their wishes. Kastaglio opened his mouth to answer him, but in the next moment his strenght lefted him and he sank at the floor. Also his companions. Urfin certained himself a stupid guye. " Youre tired and hungry and i have nothing as my questions. Sorry...!" After he gave the dwarfs eat and drink, and they was relaxed enough he asked Kastglio again after his wishes. he told him about Arachna and explained, why he came after him and why she falled into a very deep sleep before so many years ago. He told him about Hurrikap and all what he knews about this. He told him too, that the witch want to be the lonely govener in this magicland. He promised, that Arachna woul give him and everybody, who´s helping her to became the govener about the magicland, a lot of money and importend positions. After he finished, Urfin silenced ( quiet ? )a very long time. His destiny leads him in entice again. All what he needs, was to be a servant of Arachna - then he could be the govener of Emerald City or the country of the marrans. But the question was: He want to do that? Want he to do all this things again? In that year, he lived alone here, he was considering about many things. Urfin make a decision, looked into Kastaglios eyes and said : " NO! I´m gonna not to be a servant for Arachna! " Kastaglio wasn´t surprised over that and he answered him: " Urfin, maybe you say it to herself! " " Why, you can say it to her?! " he asked him. " We got the order to bring you to her and if we don´t do that... then we would be bad servants to her. Then we can´t chasing the deer for a month or longer and we must be hungry! " Later more...

on " And you can´t chasing the deer without Arachna can see it?! Youre so tiny and so fast...! " asked Urfin him with a little smile at his face. Kastaglio and his companions was shoked. " We must poaching?? Urfin, you don´t know our people!! Our people almost exist over thousands of years and never we´ve broken our word or betrayed anyone. The we choosen the death at first. " answered Kastaglio. Urfin was so touched and he said : " I´ll go with you and say it all to herself! I hope, that she´ll not punish you, ´cause i don´t want to serve her! " " We´ve nothing to do with your decisions." said Kastaglio. " Tomorrow we´ll go - today you must rest! " Urfin goes into his hut and brought all that toy, what he has create to the dwarfs, ´cause they should have a boring time at him. There were coloured clowns, puppets with laughing faces, stags and other animals they looked like living ones. " That i´ve create in my own time! " he said simple. " Oh, thats so beautyful! " From the first moment you could see, how much the dwarfs liked this toys. " they must be yours! Take they with you in your country and make to an gift for your children! " The dwarfs said thanks thousand times. On the next day, they walked back to they cave of Arachna. But after hundred steps Urfin saw, that the dwarfs couldn´t go such a long time. Packed with all this toys, what was much greater than the dwarfs - they ´ll need a year for this way. " No, that doesn´t work! " said Urfin. He went back to his hut and came back to the dwarfs twith an wheelbarrow. he put the little humans into this wheelbarrow and goes on. They dwarfs was very happy about that. The way back only needs three days. In expaction of urfin Juice and Ruf Bilans Arachna decided to proof her magic arts. Before she wants a fight with the rest of the magicland, she wants to be sure, that she have all her bad power. I must go at work now... ´til later Eirene

Enjoying the story Eirene. I have a question about the powder stuff. This Powder came from this plant and (I may have missed something here) it makes a person live longer? But you can also create other people out of it? AKA: Woodheads? Now do you make this powder from the plants or does it just sort of come from the plants like spores. I think I might have missed something here cause it confuses me a little. Anyway.........keep telling I'm excited.

ahhh, the first questions.... ;D In Book 2 ( " The smart Urfin and his woodheads " ) Urfin founded a plant in his garden, which a thunderstorm brought to him. He didn´t want have the plant in his garden and so he diggered them out, cuts they in small pieces and let them dry by the sun. So he became the powder. After he maked some over his bearvlies - that bear begins to liveon the next morning. But he wants to know that exactly and so he throwed the powder about his clown, which bit him in his fingers at once. After he knew about the magic powder he creat a army of soldiers - from wood - thats why they named "Woodheads" ( Holzkopf in german ). He gave them angry faces and so they was brutal and angry - like their faces. That powder don´t make to live longer - it brought liveless puppets, vlies or other things to life. Maybe it wasn´t right from me to start with part 5 of this books... but i didn´t knew that nobody know that books... sorry! I hope i could help you anyway. Eirene

on The reader don´t have forgotten, that Arachna could transforming herself in everything, she wants to be. The power to transforming herself was her mightest weapon. But now, she have to learned, that she couldn´t everything as earlier. Something she has had forgotten in all this time. THAT was bad news for her. How could this happend is very simple to explaine: The magic spell was very complicated, long and a great secret and Arachna don´t wrote them down, ´cause she was afraid of her enemies. Idf one of them became the spell in his hands... In her sleep she has forgotten the spell. you don´t have to wonder yourself about it, ´cause a magic sleep from 5000 years is no sleep after lunch. In such a sleep, you can forged your own name. The time was over, where Arachna could transforming herself in a battle to a lion or a dragon. Now she could only count with her strenght and her greatness. Arachna forgeds other magic arts too, but what she has left, was enough to make evil things. At exemple she has not forgotten the spells to make a earthquake, thunderstorm, hurricans and other natural catastrophics. " All isn´t gone - and nothing is lost yet. " as from a mountain peake a stone brokes into thousands pieces. Yes, Arachna was still a strong opponent. In that time Urfin cames up in her dale - with the dwarfs in his wheelbarrow. The tiny people showed him the way to the cave and runed so fast as they could be to their houses, where the childrens waits. They gived all the gifts from the good uncle Urfin to the children and they were happy as never before... At this point, i must lay down my quill, ´cause i have no words to discribe the joy of the children. In all the time, were the tribe exists, they never ever has seen such lovely toys. Urfin Juice stepped into the cave and makes a bow before the witch Arachna. " You want to speak with me? What do you want from me?! " he asked her. He has promised, that he´ll do so, as he knew from nothing and have even a clue, what she wants from him. He feld no fear before Arachna as he saw this giant woman. " You know, who am i? " " The honored dwarf Kastaglio has told me about you. " " You know, that i´ve sleeped for 5000 years and i wanna some actions now! I wanna conquered the magicland and then i wanna have the countries of the other side of the world encopassing mountains ! " Urfin shaked his greyhaired head. " I´ve tryed twice to conquered the magicland and you know, how it´s ended everytime. " said Urfin. tomorrow more... Eirene

on " Its not so simple to conquer free people! " " You wanna compare me with you? It seems to me, you don´t share my targets and you don´t want to be a servant for me?! " Arachna laughs. " Yes , i don´t share it and i don´t wanna be a servant for you! My liefe has teaching me a lot of things and NOW i wanna live as an eremite so long, as the people forgiven me! " answered Urfin. " GO out, you little worm and forged our conversation!! " cried out the witch. " You has given your chance away to be a mighty person! " Urfin makes a bow and went away. On the entree of the cave, he stopped, turned back and said: " I belive you´ll find your death on the warpath. " Arachna smiles. Against her wishes she feld something like respect for this little man, who has no fear before her. " I wanna give him all honor, if he was agreed to serve me. He has have a strong will. " On the weadow before the cave Urfin saw Ruf Bilan, which a group of dwarfs brought out of the subterranean country. The king from once turned away from his first minister with shame. " This guy will acceppt the offer from Arachna. " he thoughted. He wasn´t wrong about this. The entice of Ruf BilanAfter Urfin went away, the witch was placed and considered in her cave. Then she shaked her head and ordered the dwarfs to bring Ruf Bilan inside the cave, which arriving tolded the dwarfs her a few minutes ago. As Ruf Bilan stepped into the cave, he makes such a great bow, that he almost touched the ground. So he crawls, his fat face was white before shoking and fear, the eyes on the ground and trembled on his body, before the witch. " You´re Ruf Bilan ?! " asked Arachna. " Yes, Madam. The subterranean metaldigger told me, thats my name. " answered Bilan with his trembilng voice. " But i remember nothing, what i did in my earlier life...! " He has really forgotten his own past. The dwarfs foundeed him, after he was two days awoke from his magic sleep. At this time, he learned walk and speak, his mind was like those of an five - year - child. The digger, which was his teacher, hasn´t came to this point, what it´s bad or good. The dwarfs waitened of a moment, where the digger left the cave and gave him a lot of sweets. Ruf Bilan followed them like a child. On the road he asked the dwarfs, where they going and what they planed with him - but they don´t answered not at him. Tomorrow more Eirene

At the view on the giant witch Arachne, he felt, like it runs down cold on his back. " So, they didn´t told you, that you has had a high position in your past? Arachna asked him with a faken smile. " I know nothing about this! " answered Ruf Bilan submissive, but in his eyes you could see a spark of proude. Arachna was very smart and so she saw, how impressed he was from her words and just right in the next moment, she knew how her plan must be to work. " Kastaglio! Take this guy right by your side and teach him reading. Give him the chronicles and let him reading all his deeds and his life. If he reminds on his own past - bring him back again!! " Kastaglio understands very well, which plan Arachna has had. Two weeks later, he brought Ruf Bilan back to her. The feature and the carriage of the once stateminister was completly changed. He wants to start from the beginning, if he became a chance to do so. Bilan wasn´t that weak and helpless child anymore, as the dwarfs eloped him out the cave. Before Arachna stand now a adult man, a crammer and a intriguer, a traitor for everyone. The smartness of Arachna awakes all the worsest skills in him again. The witch didn´t saw the bow by Ruf Bilan and she asked him: " You wanna to know, why i´ve calling you? " " Yes, master. But can i ask you something at first?! " " Speak! " " Who was the man, them i´ve met before two weeks ago?! " " That was Urfin Juice, he was once king of the Emerald Country. " " `cause thats the reason, why i knew his face. I was his first man in his country! " Ruf Bilan was very proud of it. " You can have again a high position, IF you served me! I´m mightier as Urfin Juice, but his courage impressed me. But he don´t acceppt his own destiny. " Arachna tolds Ruf Bilan her plans to conqure the magicland and to be the empress and finished with the words: " You wanna help me?" " Master, i´ll serve you with all my strenght and skills! " " You mean, all my wishes comes true?! " " Without a doubt" The people of the magicland would be happy, if such a mighty mistress conqueres them! " " You´re convinced by that?! " Arachna felts a small doubt in herself. " I´ll give my life for this!! " Tomorrow more... Eirene

BTW, i believe that Wolkow was a very couraged man. You ask me why? Very simple: The five books about the wonderland plays all in the states and if you reading between the lines ( or phrases ) than is it a one big homeage to america. To write such things in a time of the cold war in a land like mine or the russians... thats mostly a suicide. A lot of people cames under Stalin, Chrutschow,Breshniew and so on for less in a "kulag"... but thats my meaning... And now we can go on... " Your king from once wasn´t that meaning! " " He is wrong, my Lady, he is wrong - you´ll be convinced very soon! " " Well, Ruf Bilan, you´ll be my servant! You must be my ambassador for importend things and if you do your serve good, you´ll get a higher position than this! " The face of Ruf shined before happyness, he does a lot of bows and sweared more than one time his loyality to her. " Go now ! " said the witch and Ruf left the cave with even more bows as he has done it before. " A traitor and a waterwearer ( Wasserträger - is someone who listen to the people and say that all to his boss in the hope he gets a better position or something else )! " said the witch with contempt. " At the first chance, he traites me so easy, like he was my servant. But i´ve no other choice...! " All beginn is hardUnder her magic stuff, Arachna has have a flying carpet, which she has stolen from her mother as she fleed into the wonderland. That was a old carpet, which only still exist, ´cause the dwarfs was cared about him. Every months the tiny people has brought them into the sun, cleaned him and as the witch awokes he was even yet to use. To make her planes true, Arachna decided to fly all over the countries of the magicland, to see for her rights and to get acceppt as the one and only empress with her mighty power. I´m tired and in a few minutes i´ll fall into my bed! Have a good night or an phantastic day ... Tomorrow more... Eirene

Okay, 4 days rest are enough, now we want on [hotlinking not allowed]smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/spiny.gif[/IMG] After a few days, she tokes the carpet, settled down on him - put Ruf Bilan beside her, ´cause he must be her negotiator for her new subjects. " Carpet, carpet fly me to the pink country, where the fairy Stella lives! " ordered the witch. As the carpet starts to fly, Bilan keeps to be white and sights. " What do you´ve? " asked Arachna dry. " My Lady, i summon you by all what i know, please don´t provoke the fairy Stella! " " Why not?! Do you mean, she is so much mightier as i´m?! " " I´ve no doubt on your strenght, my Lady, but you know, that Stelle know that secret about the eternaly youth? " " What interested me that, i´m so many thousands years old, i don´t know anymore, how many years that are! " answered Arachna with arrogance. " Well, my Lady, then we don´t wanna talk about the age. " said Ruf Bilan. " But the fairy Stella have very good connections to the tribe of the flying apes. If a herd of this horrible creatures attackes you, i´m not sure about your victory - how strong and courages your be. " ( the flying apes was once witch Bastinda at servant - Book 1 - ya know it ) The witch seems a little bit confused. She ordered the carpet to stopp. " I´ve heard once from the flying apes. " said Arachna. " Maybe it´s wiser, not to met these animals. What do you mean, should we better go to fairy Willina and she must give me her respect at first?! " " Let it be, my Lady, those fairy aren´t opponents for you. Willina is old, but she can transforming herself from one place to another in one second. In one moment she is here - in the next she is 1000 miles far away. How you wanna fight with one, you can´t hit?! " " Maybe you got right! " said Arachna. " Well, we let the fairys in peace. In our magicland are more other people exists. I´ve reading Kastaglios chronicles about the Marrans, they must be the backwardest people in this land. Let´s start at the Marrans! What do you mean, Bilan?! " " At the Marrans, yes my Lady, let´s start at the Marrans! " Bilan was happy. ´cause he has sleeping in the last years in the cave, he didn´t know anything about the last few events. Arachna ordered the carpet, to fly her into the land of the Marrans.

on After a few hours, the carpet landing in the mountains, they surrounded the country of the marrans. That dale of the marrans has changed itself, after the firegod must be gone. The jumpers has make a real revolution, they stopped to work for the aristocrats and they lived anymore in such little poor huts, like before. The simple people lived now in small, warm houses, which standed in long street. They havn´t afraid before the fire anymore - no, noe they used it to keep the houses warm. Too the poor wheatfields dosn´t exists anymore. Thousands of trees with delicious fruits saw the visitor now. On the weadows between the moutaindales stands a herd of sheeps. In every village you can see a field to play volleyball. It was now the national sport for the marrans, since Tim O´kelly learned them the game. As the dark, giant statue of Arachna was to see at the horizon, a big insecurity. Sorry, i must go at work now...

on The woman and children hided themself in their houses and the mans started to whispering very exidet. After a while, on the street, which goes straight to the mainvillage of the marrans, the statue of Ruf Bilan showed up. As ambassador of the evil witch, he thought he is a very importend person. Gart, Bois and Klem, the choosen oldest of the marrans goes to Ruf Bilan. They wear very heavy mices and Ruf Bilan became afraid before the marrans. He wanted to cried them with a strong voice, but now he stands trembling before them and began to stutter, that he came from the mighty witch Arachna and they must acceppt her as their new empress. The three oldest changes a few views and Bois said: " Say Arachna, we need a half hour to consider that all. Then we would stand before her and say her our meaning." Bilan gots back his condition and saw down on the marrans with an arrogant view and went away. " The fools are trembling, as i said your wishes with a strong and loud voice! " he told to Arachna. " They´ll come soon and then they give you your respect and they´ll accept you as their empress. I believe, they only discuss, that you don´t expect a to big tribute. " Arachna thanks him wordless. In the time, she was waiting of the marrans, in the village of the marrans everyone started to be very busy. The mens runs from house to house and one give the other something, what you can´t recognize from so far away like Arachna was. The boys runs through the village and picked up something. After a short time a lot of marrans goes to the mountain, where Arachna stands. It was a little bit suspect to her, that she didn´t saw any children, woman or old people. Only a few hundred young, strong men and everyone hides something behind his back. The witch waites on her flying carpet, sure that she has won. Who wanna be so stupid to fight against her?! The marrans built a circle around her and the three oldest - Klem, Bois and Gart - stepped out out the circle. " Mighty witch Arachna! " said Gart with a loud voice, " you wanna, that we accept you as our new empress and that we pay tribute on you. But we dont wanna have Lords, sorcerers and gods anymore! THATS our answer!! " In this moment he takes, so fast as an flash, his right hand high - the signal to attack her. Only a view later, hundreds of stones hited her. Three stones hited her on her head, two her chin, twelve her shoulders, chest and other bodyparts! One big stone hited Bilan too and hew falled down like an old bag. The attack was planed well and cames so suprising, that Arachna couldn´t think one clear thought. As the marrans started the secound attack, Arachna cried out: " Carpet, carpet fly away from here!! " The carpet starts to fly, but some stone hited him too and makes a few holes in him, so he couldn´t fly anymore so fast or high like before. Arachna was so in rage, that she toked Ruf Bilan and it don´t needs much, to kill him. But in the last moment, she got the mind, that the traitor can still be usefull for her. She settled him back on the carpet and said: " That was the respect, you´ve teached the marrans?? " Bilal answered smart: " If your wisdom couldn´t recognize the malicious plan of the marrans, how you can expecct that from me, a simpley mortal? " Arachna doesn´t know a answer of that.
