Knights Are Dragons, Not Worms 9/26/109 Mother- We were in Lazlo, so where else would you go? The central building, the Tower of Higher Learning, all 30 stories of marble and gold, home to Plato himself, of course. Well, I thought everyone would agree- but of course not. Let me explain. First off, we have accomplished a small thing- we have done the entire length of the T&L ley line train line! I now have a conductor badge which proves it! As we approached this beautiful TechnoWizard marvel I told all in the Irregulars of the central tower, and that the ancient dragon Plato was friends with Erin Tarn. Plato was the leader of Lazlo, and I was sure he would welcome us, the rescuers of Erin Tarn, and this would benefit us greatly. I implored the group to go with me- instead they decided it was better to follow a lead from Bena... only our new member, Lucryllin, decided to join me. I asked the noble knight Gawain to join us as well, for he had been often forgotten. The others saw not the beautiful statuary carved in the shape of winged angels and wondrous spirits that are on its ledges and peaks. They did not see that is was modeled after the famous Tower of Pisa. They did not see the wonder of the small obsidian pyramid crowns the building, harnessing and directing the magic energy of 3 separate ley lines that intersect there. They did not meet the majestic dragon Plato himself. They saw not the intricate paths of the canals, this grand cities acknowledgement of a great legendary place of the past, Venice of Italia. They saw not the pathways that these waters made, for only from the highest point of the Tower. Lazlo was named after the great Victor Lazlo, who was the first to discern PPE, or Potential Psychic Energy. No, they chose to go meet "Wrather Ell O'Nelley", a nobody, some random contact of Bena's. They have no idea how much they lost. They decided that the Hotel Shangri Oooh La La was better Inside the tower itself the wonders increased! It will be impossible to truly communicate the fascinating scene- many gathered using the Socratic method, arguing the finer points of life. The most amazing thing was that time and space itself were manipulated- I was not sure where and when we were! Did I mention that the rest of the group chose, voluntarily, to not be there? Saint Rebecca decided to rebuild a temple to the Greek Gods, including Apollo. The area we were in resembled Athens more and more now, and we kept going up to try and visit Plato. I was amazed by the details, and the beauty therein. We go farther up, and each floor is modeled after the ancient Greek Forum. We go farther and farther, through 30 floors of Greek Forum, and the tower still rises. Stairs, stairs, and more stairs- I have had a good workout today. The 31st floor was different than all others. Circular floor at the landing, with a square floor and teller cages arranged all around. Each person in the cages were Avalonians! Each and every one, all 90! One random woman was poking an Avalonian with a stick, which seemed to be the oddest thing of all- the Avalonian just kept repeating stoically, "Stop that." All of the cages were enchanted to be immune to energy attacks. The poking stops, and we leave the tellers and move up- to get to Plato we must climb even more. After learning from a helpful receptionist who tells us that many have pretended to be the Irregulars, but he actually recognizes me for who I truly am, we climb and climb, and climb so more. We reach the top of a mountain, where there is a platform, and a mansion above. Yes, we have reached the top of Mount Olympus! Yes, Plato is magnificent, and I must keep some things to myself. However, let me say that he is a Knight of the Round- and wishes to join with 5 other dragons to help defeat Morgana- all legendary Knights of the Round Table. They are Silas, Plato, Nemue, Merlin, Percival, Galahad, and Robin. Oh, and Silas was/is Lancelot, by the way.... I hope that you are well- we are off to England! Love, Turag Roundtable Rival
