"You're right, Lil Ty. We are here for evil dragons, brave knights, and daring escapes."
"What my daughter means to say under all her excitement is that we are here for all, and will greatly benefit from whatever you tell us."
"Thanks, mom."
"You're welcome Stephanie."
"Well then. Where do I begin?"
"At the beginning please."
"Here is your fathers diary for reference."
"You saying I don't know my father?"
"I uhhh...thought you could use it."
"Thank you.
Tyke was a simple man. A great father, but a simple man nonetheless. He loved...."
"Yeah, yeah; but what made him get into adventure?"
"Persistent and not willing to have patience. Has all the world from above turned this low?
I'm not giving you any spoilers, but...….I will say the hardest enemy my dad ever faced was a Bunny."
"A Bunny?
Not like an Ogre, or a Gummy Bear bad guy?"
"Gummy Bear bad guy? My….my….I must say."
"Who does he battle first?"
"The Abominable snowman."
"He's a myth. Why would the IceQueen use him to protect the Castle?"
"I thought you read the story?"
"Forgive me, Little Tyke but these are School children."
"School…..Children?"
"We are using your dads book to learn magic."
"Magical....School Children?"
"Is there a problem?"
"I'm sorry, but I will not spoil anything further."
"What about the Princesses book? We just wanted to say hi to you?"
"My Dads adventures turned into a study tool for Kids!!!!"
"And adults too."
"You're all Kids in my eyes."
"Can you tell us anything? Anything at all without spoiling everything?
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Pretty pretty pretty please?"
"With a cherry on top, served over a nice bath of silky smooth water down....IceCream cake."
"Mmmmmm.
I may know one thing that that book won't teach you?"
"I'm listening."
"My dad.....may be old, but he is not average."
"That's guaranteed."
"In fact, he is not even a…"
"Not a what?"
"Poet."
"So, this book isn't a Diary? He may have been the fighter, but you were the writer?"
"Yes, so please leave."
"Huh?"
"Do you know what it's like writing someone elses story and them getting all the fame?
Here, take your Book back."
"Will you not answer any more of our questions?"
"Kids, I think it's time to leave Little Tyke alone with his thoughts. Give him his book, and we'll be on our way."
"But…."
"I don't want to go home."
"We're not going home. Little Tyke was supposed to be our tour guide, but...
I can do it."
"You mean.....visit all the Kingdoms that Tyke ran through? Before...before they turned into what they are today?"
"Do people even live there?"
"No, but shhhh. They say a few creatures still exist, although sad because they lost their lights; they could still be dangerous.
First stop.
….The IceCastle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
