The fog becomes thicker so they almost didn't see Nova the owl perched in the nearby tree. She flies down and sits on the pile of books. Oh, I do hope you have some scary stories. I love scary stories, but only if they are not too scary. Rolando invites Nova to come along and hear the story.

"Whoa, I did not expect this. It's never happened before!" exclaimed Rolando. "I wonder why no pet showed up to hear my Halloween stories. Did some pet forget to put the announcements up? Well, let's pack up. I will tell you all about my trip to Count Dracula's castle."

"Oh my, what a spooky-looking town! I wonder WHO-O-O-O lives here," Nova quizzed in a slightly nervous voice. She didn't see any of her owl friends perched nearby so she seemed a bit more frightened than when they were at the spooky trees.

Rolando was quite pleased that this little town had the best turnout yet. So many pets came to hear PnF's famous storyteller! You see, every pet living here loves Halloween, and loves to decorate their homes to look scary. They were just setting the mood. Nova breathed a huge sigh of relief that there was nothing to be afraid of here.

"Wow, I never would have guessed that deep inside the cave it would be so magical looking!" exclaimed Bessie. "I feel as if I could go on quite the adventure in here, like a portal to another land perhaps." Rolando just smiled, realizing that's what books do when we read them, transporting us to unexpected and fantastic places.

Rolando heard the sound of a fox howling and opened his eyes to make sure it wasn't Luna, his faithful companion. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked around feeling a bit confused. Was that whole cave excursion just a dream? Is it exhaustion, or is there some hocus pocus going on here?

LILAC is questing! Episode 22/25

"There *is* some hocus pocus going on here! Bessie, you are taller than me now. What happened to you?" asked Rolando. "I have no idea," exclaimed Bessie. "I just had a glass of warm milk before going to bed. Maybe there was some potion in it?"

After seeing that the owl was also now bigger than him, Rolando decided it was time to leave this town and head for home. Now he was getting scared! He encouraged his traveling companions to go to their physicians to see if the good doctor could explain what happened to them and if the growth could be reversed.

LILAC is questing! Episode 24/25

"What?? Did your house grow too, Bessie? It wasn't that size just a few minutes ago!" I think the hocus pocus has followed us home Rolando," squawked Nova. "I wonder why." "Oh I know," replied Bessie! "It's to show the pet who greeted us at the start of our journey the house they just won!"

Rolando chuckled and thanked his companions for coming along and helping him at all the towns and villages on the journey. He warmly told them, "Here is a little something for your time," as the giving tree tossed them twenty gold coins. They all agreed that they didn't need any coins for helping and asked that it be given to the user's pet, which Rolando happily arranged.
