The King the Castle Builder and the Magician (cont).
The Story of the King , Castle Builder and the Magician starts again.If you go back to posts 12-17 on this blog there you will find a tale which describes this situation.
Continuing with this tale then after many months away, the magician had made new friends and new contacts and was weaving magic all over the land. Re-drawing maps, working with museum collections, illustrious poets, storytellers and even animals and children as the book of magic spells warns us all against. The magician was carefree casting spells where ever his fancy took him. In fact the magician’s order book was filled to the brim and thoughts of magic discussed many months or a year ago hardly entered the magician’s memory.
Then late one afternoon the castle builder contacted the magician explaining that the paperwork was almost ready and the magician could weave his magic in the Kings lands and all he needed was some details about when exactly the magic could be delivered and how the magician wanted to organise payments for his services.
Well the magician dropped his wand at this news and spluttered spilling his fine wine. OMG OMG.
The magician remembered a gentle joke he had made with castle builder suggesting a race between himself and a band of contracted skilled craftsmen. The craftsmen were to build a large fine hostelry with all mod-cons and appliances catering for many many visitors at any one night. And he the magician could make his magic in a quicker time and finish before them.
As it turns out the magician is likely to be very very wrong. And a little lavish with his promises to deliver magic for other patrons who had disappeared into the shadows for a while, returning this very week, also asking for the magic he had agreed to supply!
OMG OMG OMG..
