Finding Ferny Dale

It was early when the three little elves left their home in the Elvin Forest to go looking for Misty's cousin. The sun had barely risen above the horizon, but they knew if they didn't make the most of the daylight, they may never find Ferny.


When they reached The Ridge (which was really just a moderate mound of grass) Hollow climbed high in an old tree to see if he could see Ferny, but he was nowhere to be seen. And so he climbed a little higher. "Ah hem" he heard, looking all around and seeing no-one, he climbed even higher still. "Ah hem, are you looking for someone? Or are you just climbing all over my limbs for fun?" 

Only then did Hollow realise, it was the tree that was talking to him. "Sorry Mr.Tree, we are looking for Ferny Dale, have you seen him?" he asked. "I don't know a Ferny Dale, so how would I know if I had seen him", the tree replied in a very deep voice. "By the way, I am not Mr.Tree, I'm an Ent and my name is Longbough".


It was then, as he was decending from the Ent, that Hollow saw Ferny hiding below. "Oh there you are!" he decalared. Ferny looked up at him, slightly pink in the face and feeling very embarassed by his situation.

 

Ferny had found a small leaf on the ground with which he managed to cover himself, so he didn't appear to be completely naked. He was pleased they had come to rescue him, but didn't know what to say or do. However, he managed a little smirk in acknowledgement of Hollow's comment.


Misty was very annoyed with Ferny and chastised him for being so stupid to lose all his luggage, even though she did feel a little sad he had been robbed of all his belongings, apart from his specticals and bow tie.

Poor Ferny felt such a fool and really didn't want to come around from behind the Ent at all.


"Stop messing about Ferny, we need to get you home so we can visit the tailor and purchase some new clothes for you", said Misty in her sternest voice. She knew she needed to be forcefull with her cousin or he'd never come from behind the Ent.


Then Mossy tried coaxing him, "You don't have to be embarrassed, it's not like you got robbed intentionally. I mean no-one wants to stroll around in their birthday suit, even in the Elvin Forest."


Finally Longbough chimed in, "I really don't now what all the fuss is about, after all I loose all my clothes every Autumn and no-one cares about my nakedness". After being encouraged by Misty, Mossy, Hollow as well as Longbough, he agreed to go home with them.

So the four little elves said their goodbyes to Longbough and headed home to Beechwood Hall, via the village tailor of course.

    1. Thanks Rachael, they are fun to play with. No, although I knit, I don't knit in cotton as fine as this. I usually purchase my tiny elf clothes from https://www.etsy.com/shop/NataLitun as she does a lovely job and they are in scale.

  4. That's so cute I can't even handle it! And your pics are very pretty. Do you take them outdoors or is it a diorama?

    1. Thank you MC. These were taken indoors using a backdrop and props which I made from clay some time back. The grass is a piece of synthetic lawn.

    1. Thank you Joanna, they may look sweet, but there's a yin and yang to these little blighters, and one must cope with both sides of their characters. :)

    1. Thanks Sharon, the bow tie and glasses came from a Sylvania Famlies accessory pack, but they fit Ferny perfectly. :)

  8. I love the Ent's attitude. What a character. And I couldn't help but notice those glasses on Ferny's head. Robbed and left with nothing but his glasses and bow tie. Looks cute though. And I really enjoyed the Ent's final words to them.

  11. Such a cute fairytale :)! It's good to hear that the rescue squad found Ferny before the nightfall! And I can't really blame him for feeling embarrassed by this whole situation ;).
    Plus, I really enjoyed the photos - I can see them as a perfect illustrations in the children's book :)
