Ten, nine, eight....

Sixth Year of the Millennium

First Month
Hummingbyrd went home to marry off the first of her four younger siblings, Hickory headed south on a separate quest of his own.  He was unable to take the recording devices with him, so there is very little to show for his grand efforts there.

Ghotistyche accompanied Hummingbyrd
As did Phengurpeynt...but we'll get to
that later.

Mmmm Rattlesnake!  

 Second Month

Hummingbyrd headed East to meet the newest family members as well and gave little Conbon lots of hugs from Hickory for him.  Then she headed far North to her maternal Grandparent's house to spend some time with them in the Snowy North.

 

Third Month

Ahhh the month that saw so many changes.  Early in the month Phengurpeynt got wind that we were looking into rescuing a new Animal Companion from some very unsavory conditions, and a unintentionally cruel master.  I don't know if Phengurpeynt was trying to save the new comer or merely couldn't bear the thought of having to be around a 'dog'.  Either way she took on the impossible task of challenging the Great Iron Beast.  This is a challenge no cat can win, but she didn't care and in a fit of insanity she essentially committed suicide while Hummingbyrd looked on.  

Worse yet, she chose to do so while the Beast Master could not see her and was unable to stop her death wish.

We mourned her demise, but the following day went on to rescue our beautiful Lady, Sunlit.  After a dark start she needed a bright name and new beginning.  She was our awesome Great Pyrenees, we love her.




Toward the end of the month, after saving up for it, Hummingbyrd purchased a Teleportation spell and went to visit Hickory for a few nights.  They had grand adventures in subterranean environs before she the spell ended and she had to return North.

Fourth Month
Hickory and Hummingbyrd were finally reunited as they moved to the Peach Kingdom, while they adventured here they would move their caravan multiple times within its realm.  First stop was a small Inn with enough place to place their belonging, but not much else.



To the Renaissance Faire they go!



After returning from the Faire, they journeyed on to visit the new home of Sir Just and his family.  Conbon was quite happy to see his Uncle.



Sunlit approved of their abode.


Much adventuring to be done around Sir Just and Lady Jen's fair city.


Beautiful family in a beautiful surrounding.

Home again for all after an exciting trip.

Fifth Month

After arriving home Lord Hickory and Lady Hummingbyrd learned their exciting journey was about to get significantly more interesting.  Apparently it has been decreed their party needed to acquire new party members.

Or at least the Magic Prediction Stick would imply so.

Sixth Month
Humminbyrd is not ready to have minions yet, she isn't sure she's leveled up enough yet.

Oh well, guess she'll just have to act as immature as possible before he or she gets here.

Sunlit is more than willing to watch out for me.  Well when she is awake that is.

Sixth Month


Seventh Month
Hickory decided we would need to locate a new domicile before the party expands.  He and Ghotistyche set to work locating one immediately...immediately after this raid that is.





Eighth Month
The initial move to a Wren's nest was exciting but quickly was discovered that a Wren's nest is not the best place for Lord Hickory to travel to earn his gold.  However the time spent in that lovely home will not be forgotten.


Having heard of Phengurpeynt's untimely demise the Duchey of Navy decided to sent a gift of a new feline animal companion.  The Duchess supplied us with the following pictures after the gift arrived.
So here ya go, Illiyana or just "Illiy"

 
In the Ninth Month we also got to finally take a Honeymoon.







Being on our Honeymoon we had buttons that meant cast members pulled us from the crowds more often than normal.  Here we have Hickory in the roll of Sir Galahad.





Dinner at the Under the Seas Restaurant was delicious....Carmel Creme Brulee is Ahhhmazing!


Hummingbyrd got to be an extra in the Indiana Jones Stunt Show Spectacular.


Cinderella's Castle dinner and a show.

Hickory made a great Beast at Belle's Storytime Hour.  Then off to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!



Tenth Month

Eleventh Month

Our promised gift from the Duchey of Navy arrived this month, Ghotistyche was very acquiessant to her arrival, oddly enough she came along with Hummingbyrd's dog from when she was little, so now they had two dogs and two cats.  Sunlit the Great Pyr and Oz the old Golden Retriever on the Canine front and Ghotistyche and Illiyana on the Feline front.

Twelfth Month

And finally the month of Holiday wherein family and friends visited us before the arrival of our new party member the following year.

and the countdown to the present continues, 7 years to go.
