Start your engines the countdown to the present begins NOW!

Beginning in the Fifth Year of the New Millennium
First Month
Still living in opposite ends of the country, Hummingbyrd finishes up her scrolls and is granted her title from the Academy.

Hickory continues his education on the other side of the land.

Second Month
Hummingbyrd picked out two Feline Animal companions to come home with the two of them after their official Party creation in a few months.

Hickory reviewed the selections carefully, his Druid training is paying off.

Third Month

Magical Pool conversations were the only way they could stay in touch, this was done with the aid of Hummingbyrd's amazing father.

Fourth Month

As well as Hickory's own magical prowess.

Fifth Month

After many moons Humminbyrd finished her studies and it was made possible for Hickory to teleport home for the much awaited celebration.  

The Tribe and Clan were assembled.  Months in the planning, the actual event would take only a half-hour to complete followed by much revelry.

Time to Get this Party Started!  Hummingbyrd hid from Hickory, he didn't know where she was. 

Only Lady Hummingbyrd, Lady Thhhh, and Hummigbyrd's father knew where she was.

So off the boys went, in the wrong direction, much to the laughter of the girls.

Meanwhile the Piper lead the grand procession in search of the bride.  She waited her queue.

Ahh, there it is.   Time to finally go meet the confused Groom.

The surprise was worth it, and so much fun.  Vow exchange and rings.

 Dear Old Dad and Grandmother made it along with many others.  We thank the Storyteller for it all.
The Hearth Broom Challenge, tying the knot in the three strand cord, jumping said broom.

They desired not to kiss in front of the masses and instead left to quiet contemplation on their own.

Then after preserving the moment, it was off to cake and dancing.

 Hummingbyrd's Tribe.

Hickory's Clan.  Even Great Grandma and Great Grandpa H.


Friends from all over.

And now to attack the cake....what YOU don't cut cake with a basket-hilt broadsword?  Sheesh.

We smelled cake for like three days after this...mmm Chocolate.

After Cake...DANCING!!  Scottish Country Dancing to be exact.

Some final traditions to fulfill.  

 They survived, so did their friends Lady Thhhh and Sir Quickflaire

Off on High Adventures we begin our journey!

Sixth Month

After some Teleportation magic, Hummingbyrd finally got to see the Kingdom of Eureka where Hickory had been adventuring for the last year.

Seventh Month

Many adventures were to be had now that they were reunited.

Eighth Month

Humminbyrd attempted to run an Everway campaign for the first time and for the first time Hickory was actually allowed to play IN the game, not run it. 

Ninth Month

Learning how to run a house together and hanging out with friends.

Tenth Month

Halloween fun, nothing like creeping out a bunch of people by pretending to be completely different people and doing an okay job of it...the face paint looked better in the dark than it did with the flash on.  Oh well.   We didn't dress that scary for the Trick-or-Treaters though, so don't worry.


Eleventh Month
Druid type trips and vacations.

Twelfth Month

It was decided that once Hickory finished his studies in Eureka, he would need to travel South to seek out a different teacher for a few moons.  During this time Hummingbyrd headed back to the Mire Kingdom to retrieve some things she left behind at home.
