Guards Bakamono and Hakuchi joke at a small boy with black hair who says he is a mercenary who has come to fight for the city. They joke more, one telling this mercenary, Bran, to go to the barracks. Bakamono jokes that he has wet himself with excitement over this arrival. Prostitutes call him a cutie as he passes. He says, "Hmmm. This job may have more than monetary rewards." Bran walks into a giant pointy earred suspender wearing devil faced giant man, telling him he should be more careful. Bran bluffs his way out of it and the giant manóelf laughs at Bran's humor, even though Bran wasn't trying to be funny. He claims he likes the small elf. Under the suspenders, the giant man wears no shirt. Bran doesn't like cities, every time he is in one, he gets lost and feels the only ones left here are the insane ones.

Avery Special Delivery	in Elflord #5
	by Dave Cooper: A man in black with semi longish blond hair lands in a spaceship: an alien. It is olden times as men carry swords and attack the alien man in a pub. The man has already given a little boy a message. When the men attack him, he blasts one in the stomach and his intestines and belly stick out of him! The others are blasted just as much but the alien man is wounded. The alien takes the message back from the boy and begins to burn it. He leaves, telling the boy he will see him another time. The message, half burned, is pulled by the boy: it had the cures to every known disease. The boy cries. This well done story is actually a copy of THE GIFTóa TWILIGHT ZONE episode.
Death Caller	In Elflord #6
	by Gordon Derry; art by Dave Cooper: At the borders of Elfheim, the dwarves live under constant threat of invasion from the trolls. Most savage of the trolls are the Redfist Clan. Two dwarf soldiers come seeking a weapon that a parchment tells them is a tool of destruction from another realm by the wizard Greylone, the world strider. Thorgrim (with a short cut shirt) and Sigurd (with a long ponytail) look for it entering by the left eye of Wodin's Mountain to find the passage. Legend says Greylone hid the death caller because its power might poison the world. They find an automatic machine gun gatling gun in a chest of Greylone's which says "Keep Your Greedy Paws off." Red fist trolls. Thorgrim drops the gun even after they scatter and it fires off rounds of bullets, killing the trolls and hitting Sigurd, too. Thorgrim cries heavily and claims the wizard was wise: better that all dwarves perish at the hands of the trolls than to unleash the hideous power of this weapon, "Our world is a better place without such weapons."

Eye of the Beholder	In Elflord vol. 2 #2 and Dragonring vol. 2 #2
	a great bit of art from Ral (or Rat (?)óóissue Vol. 2 No. 5 tells us this is Pat McEown): a barbarian, a warrior woman, and Viking along with a crawling lizard type see bones and meet a scout who runs off. In the battle, the barbarian is skewered by a spear from his belly out his back but he manages to put his sword through the attacker's helmet and out the back. Ghoul archers fire arrows into the woman who fights on. She is killed and the Viking seems to be beheaded. A ghoul carries the girl's body off. REVIEW: A wonderfully drawn bit of work with German or some other language as the bubble talking. It is, at times, difficult to tell which side is which (is the lizard thing the same as the scout or are they two different things?) but the crispness of the art and battle are wonderfully brought to life. A grim but enjoyable bloodletting, especially when the barbarian gets the spear in his muscular stomach and we see it in the next frame far out his back, sticking up. The frames of his face in battle as he fights and is stuck are one after the other and lend themselves to terrific feeling. The letters page in VOL. 2 NO. 5 tells us more about this: the alien language is fictional.
Shadow Market	In Elflord vol. 2 #5
	A Londonólike place: human Carstairs, Captain Binky (a pirate like elf with white beard, cap, a hook for a hand, and peg leg), a Major who is British and who plays chess with a tall skinny older elf with a white stripe down the middle of his grayóblack hair and goatee of white as well as a black beard (looking not unlike one of the hosts of the DC comics old House of Mystery of Tales of Terror or something like that). One of Bran's Packrats leads two others: the leader wears furs and a blue headband. Second is a blond who wears a crisscrossed fur top, his chest and stomach bare and short shorts. The brown haired one is dressed like the first. Bran and his packrats are scouts for the humans. They are Packrats and are stopped by a big man, his elf pack of olders, a few hooded types, and a reptile like being. These are of the Thieves Guild. In the middle of all this, a girl, wearing a blue vest and not much else up top, long leather (?) pants, comes, asking for the nearest tavern. The reptile grabs a brown haired elf around the throat, jumping on him and putting his knife to the boy's neck. Another is pounced on by the big man, a human with spiked wrist covers. A boy with blue hair, fur on his shoulders and loin cloth arrives, feeling he is too late. His hips are bare, in fact his whole side is bare from under the arm down to the legs, covered only by the fur and very skimpy loin cloth. He uses nunchuks to hit a red haired intruder in the face as he attacked the girl (who has purple hair). He also knocks down the others. The girl says, "Nobody likes a showoff kid." One of the elves got away. Bran kisses the girl and she knees him between his legs, "Never lead your guard, packrat." She walks away, leaving him holding between his legs.

Foxfire/Stardusters#1	in Elfheim vol. 3 #1
	by Angel de Mioche: Tapiet, a little book in outrageous clothes looks like a boy with long blond (or white hair) floats in space and smokes a cigar, wearing a chain like thing from his little shorts to his neck, long leggings and shoes. He carries a book, a gun device and a satchel. A giant worm comes along and says last time he saw the boy he had short green hair. Tapiet tells him last time Silverband was one fourth his size. He has been eating the space warp's energy. The human man that had been taken in by him couldn't handle his missions so he split. Tapiet tells him that books work alone: if he didn't believe that before, he does now. He gave the interactive ship to the dork since they got along so well, right after ripping out the communications pack with the book Nebula. Tapiet tells Silverband to take him to a little sun. He has gotta check out a planet orbiting it. Silverband tells him want to check it out, not gotta and calls the boy affectionatelyñña little pest. Earthññthe world that introduced the boy to Pizza and Star Wars. One hour later, they are near Earth. The planet seems to be poisoning Silverband and drains his energy. Lots of nuclear testing left over. Tapiet refuses to leave Silverband as it is his fault he is in this mess. He will share his symbiot's energy with Silverband as long as he can. The pressure and heat make Tapiet pass out. Pesticides, genetically designed lethal viruses, a depleted ozone layer, lead levels. Silverband splashes down into an ocean. His fangs are a bit charred. He is shriveled up and weak. Tapiet feels it is all his fault. He hugs him and tells him, "You are my oldest and best friend. I'll tear this planet up finding a cure for you, I promise."
Foxfire/Stardusters#2	in Elflore vol. 2 #1
	summertimein Skillyhope, a fishing village, the town sits on conjunctions of many moonroads and a magnet for all manner of faerie. The paperboy is a wereñfox. His haircut is uniquely foxñlike and he wears no shirt. Someone is conjuring up a knife of steel. Foxfire rollerblades with a newspaper bag strapped on his left shoulder. Koogie, his squirrel pal, is on his left shoulder, too! A fisherman has hired Selkie lads and it has increased his catch threefold. Fox tells the two boys, shirtless also and in bathing suits, that they have really gone human. The man tells him to come back for dinner. Foxfire will try. Captain Jack is the only human thus far to be a team with Selkies. Foxy hopes there will be more. Fox says, "Oh shi..boneheads at 3 o'clock." Two boys, one with a baseball hat on backwards and another with a baseball hat or cap block him. They call him a nerd on wheels but he tells them, "Beats being shit on a stick." One grabs him behind the arm in a shoulder lock. A man with a water hose shoots water at the boys, letting Foxfire go. He tells the kids he will take a strip off their hides if he sees them bullying other kids again. He tells the two boys (Foxfire and the one who grabbed him) to shake hands and make up. The boy is angry but Foxfire sticks his tongue out at him and crosses his own eyes. Mr. C tells Foxfire he is the best newsboy they ever had. Foxy thanks him and leaves. Foxy is glad Mr. C pounced on his own son, he wasn't in the mood to fight that turdhead today. Foxfire has a new customer and then will go to the library to check out some video tapes. The Old Fergerson Placeññnot even psychically dense humans fail to feel the evil surrounding the house. A freckled faced boy with a cap on grabs himññthis boy was with Mr. C's son before. He dares Foxfire to put the newspaper into an old man's hand. Foxfire sees a hideous fish faced, piranha like fanged monster that is behind the old man's image. The boy calls Foxy chicken but he cannot see that the old man is really the monster! The boy goes up to the man and wants to shake his hand, telling him his name is Porkchop. The man smiles, "How delicious." He becomes a monster and grabs Porkchop, Foxy seeing the old man as the monster! Foxfire chops at it with his knife and its neck bleeds. Losing his hat, Porkchop tells Foxfire he killed an old man. Three other men come running, telling each other that the boys killed Wormy. While Porkchop worries that the men are gonna tell his parents, Foxy pulls him, telling him they are going to kill him. They run, for the three men are also monsters! Porkchop can't go any further and tells Foxfire this is all his faultñññhe didn't do anything. Foxy asks Koogie, a squirrel but actually a fairy with pointed ears and ear rings as well as knife holding his thick white or blond ponytail up in place to kick "his ass into faerie" which makes Porkchop see into the faerie dimensionñññletting him see the men as the monsters. Touching Porkchop's nose, Koogie tells him, "Now rump roast, look at those so called men." Porkchop sees that they are monsters and faints. Koogie sees the monsters coming at them, "Oh shit." Foxfire says, "That's about it, Koog."
Foxfire/Stardusters#3	in Elfheim vol. 3 #2
	Tapiet knows Silverband has another thousand years before he leaves the larva stage. Earth's poison has thrown the giant worm into a cocoon stage. Silverband wonders what as happened to the cocky little book he knew, the one who wouldn't eat himself up with unnecessary guilt. He needs Tapiet's clever mind to get them out of this. Since the last book survey 50 years ago, Earth was to be one of the fringe planets that would benefit from the dimensional wave, not be poisoned. Tapiet understands now the anguish his patrons feel when they come to the Books for understanding and help. Tapiet swims upward and sees two large lights and flies out of the water. Then he seems to bump right into a man in a hood.
Foxfire/Stardusters#4	in Elflore vol. 2 #2
	A Koogie magic herb page; Foxfire can't leave Porkchop and Koogie can't leave Foxfire; a flying blackbird turns into Rowan a young laird, who helps kill the monsters one of which were warned not to kill or attack the Sealy Court. The monsters called Bogans had moved into the Old Fergenson House. Rowan wears a black short cut vest with string ties across each side, no shirt underneath, short black leather shorts, and ankle high boots. The Slaugh will come collect the dead Bogans so the two boy Selkies carry Porkchop who listens to them talk about Bogans, their glamour false images, bringing Porky into faerie, and that the sun is going down and the restless dead will be out soon. Porkchop jumps out of their arms and hands. Rowan yells, "You're conscious! You let us carry your big butt all this time?!" It gets dark and they run.
Foxfire/Stardusters#5	in Elfheim vol.3 #3
	A gale of force 9 is out on the ocean. Tapiet's hair is very long and his boots very high up to his leg. In the morning he finds he is on the Star Duster, a 35 foot cruiser, a sailboat. The two men on it call him a Manitou. One man has long hair and seems to be an Indian and is named Turk. Turk claims Capt. Jack has two elves sailing with him out of Skillyhope. Turk tells them he thinks the boys are Selkies. The man with short hair calls them boys with rare but normal deformities. Tapiet avoids the question of whether or not he was flying but does tell them his friend is sick and in the ocean. Tapiet tells Turk he hates lying, telling the other man he was hovering only because he weighs so little and was picked up by the wind. He tells Turk he is an alien but if he told the truth he'd be shipped to some government lab. The short haired man tells him not to let him get him riled. He is Finn McDunn and he hugs an arm around his Indian friend and fellow scientist Jonathan Silent TurkeyññTurk for short. One shot of Finn as he pours coffee or tea is a photo. They ask him if he has seen a meteor crash into the sea. The current changes and the ship gets close to Fiddle Wit Island. There is a lighthouse there (photo). Another frame as Tapiet plays with his hair is a photo with him drawn over it. Finn calls him Tadpole. Of Finn's questioning, Tapiet tells him, "Whatcha sayin' is my clothes are just a tad unusual." Finn, with glasses on or shades, says, "Heck no! Quite normalññif yer into torture. Haha." He says, "Actually they're quite comfortable." A shirtless boy with short cropped hair comes up and is mad that the two men told him it was too dangerous to take him along but that they brought some little freakazoid indian wannabe. Finn says, "Easy Tig, it's not like that." Tapiet says, "No, it's even better," as he holds his own leg, near his butt. Finn calls him a little piss ant and chuckles. "Oh yes, things are definitely perking up around here!"

	Honeysuckle and magical herbalism page; Rowan has his sword out and tells Chop (Porkchop) to come up on the hillññRowan offers to be rear guard. The restless dead hunt the Seely blood. Foxfire can see the bridge, a place where they can find safety. Chop tells Rowan to run as he sees two Sluaghs (different spelling). Foxfire wonders if Guffy can help them. Guffy wakes up but Koogie (who figures if you gotta go, go out fightin') gets on one's head and tries to sword it. He jumps and the dead man hits his own head, crakin' it. Chop asks Rowan what that was and Rowan says, "A young trow." Huh? Foxfire finds Guffy (who has short hair on the sides and long in the back in this issue as well as seemingly pointed ears) who calls him a Fox Pup, "Never a dull moment when you're around." Chop asks, "Isn't there anything normal in this world ?!?" Koogie tells him he wouldn't know normal if it barked in his face, calling him "Pot Roast" as a nickname.
Foxfire/Stardusters#7	in Elfheim vol. 3 #4
	Finn tells Turk thatTige worships the seas he sails and was hurt when he saw that exotic boy. Turk tells Finn he is the one who invited Tapiet. Turk tells him that the floating fluff boy fell on the boat and he told this to Tige. Tige and Tapiet listen to the two men who were on their way back to the lighthouse. The boys listen at the Mill's front door. Tige has found Tapiet's bag but claims it is his and that Tapiet is no extra terrestrial even if he is a weirdo wimp. Tapiet asks, "What's wrong web hands, don't speaka de English?" Tige attempts to scare Tapiet by stepping into faerie but Tapiet matches him move for move. He is not of faerie but is not poly dimensional. Tapiet talks to Tige who crosses his arms. He knew he was hurt. It was the same look he had when Rigell and BDC turned on him. Tapiet tries to explain about his stupidity in getting his friend, the worm giant, hurt. Tige starts to insult him, "Well, at last you admit you're stup..." Tapiet yells, "Trying to apologize to you was stupid! You've got a bug up your butt over what you think Turk did to you and you won't believe what anybody says not even him! Well screw you and get out of my place!" With hands on his hips, Tige asks if he his friend is going to be okay, "Ah...is...is your friend gonna be okay?" He is trying to apologize too. Tige asks how he popped in the Middle Kingdom with him. "I am an alien, Tige. And I can cross dimensions like you can. Only I do it in space most of the time," Tapiet explains. Tapiet comes from a stellar nursery, his roots that of a spaceling and he and the worm giant can change travel some dimensions, both neither all planetary nor spaceling but in between. Tige asks about the two who screwed him over. Tapiet tells him this would be too low and demeaning for them. He also says he screwed up: "I'm a book, Tige, our mission in life is collect information. Looking for informationññfor knowledge, is in our genes. We're little data gatherers." The guest room they are in is a photo. "We go on missions to get the information. Only sometimes we gotta go places and do things to get the info that nonñbooks wouldn't understand. I'm not saying killing peopleññmore like work in slums, being a viceñmite, and stuff like that. Rigell couldn't handle it. He grew to hate what I did. And because what I do is the nature of a book, he grew to hate me. When you got a planet plagued by disease and the beings are asking for info to cure the disease...well, if the answers are in the Toy System and you gotta become a muffin boy to get them..." He takes out a night shirt, drops his chain body belt off and puts it on. He kicks his boots off. He also has arm rings. "You get the tattoo and you do the muffin bit." When Tige asks what a muffin boy is, Tapiet tells him he doesn't want to know. He puts cigar in his mouth and lays on the pillow, telling him the tattoo was the last straw for his own spaceship and Rigell. BDCs have emotions and personalities. He gave them the finger and tore the Com system outta BDC and left. He ain't been back since. Tige is wearing a small bathing suit. The boys find their favorite movie is STAR WARS. They eat food (Tapiet using ketchup) and drink soda. Turk and Finn are ecologists and the have state of the art equipment in the lighthouse to monitor. Tige offers to help him but they will have to sneak to use it. Tapiet says, "Of course." The outside and some of the inside of the house are real photos.
Foxfire/Stardusters#8	in Elflore vol. 2 #4
	Magical herbalism: John the Conqueror, roots, mint oils, Harm none!: Porkchop is amazed that the gang came through a solid stone wall and they can look outside. Rowan tells Guffy it is beautiful and Guffy thanks him. Guffy has the back of his hair in semi braids, three ear rings on left ear, and shorts on high over his belly and a black belt buckle as well as some kind of necklace on and ankle high boots like Robin Hood boots. His place looks like a normal cottage with bunk beds (Guffy asks Porkchop if he expected a cave). Koogie is feeling dirty after Guffy mashed Sluagh brains on him. Guffy gives him a bowl to wash off in. Koogie takes off his fur loin cloth. The old haunted house next to the Gerry's Woods holds a house with Bogans living in it. Rowan and Foxfire are new to the area and Koogie's only interested in nuts. Koogie says, "Hey, I resent that!" Koogie calls Foxfire "dog biscuit breath" when Foxy laughs, "HaHa, he's got you there, Koogie!" Rowan says, "Skinwalkers are so high strung." Fox calls him a feather brain and Rowan says, "Why you..." Guffy, taller than the others, calls them children and tells them it is time to have their modest repast...chow time. Guffy is a master chef. When Pork asks if it is normal food, Koogie (wanting his extra portions) tells him it is maggots and toad testicles. Chinese vegetarian delights since as Foxy tells Porky they don't eat meat here. Porky likes it and tells Guffy so. Guffy thanks him. That part of the forest Foxfire told Guffy about was once called Grugagh's Woods and the old house used to be a towerññone for the host. A war between two courts happened. The Laird's court won but at great cost. The Gruagagh killed the Gruagagh of the host but later died himself of the wounds. The energies of all that blood echo in the woods and the old tower. Laird or Seelie courts are aligned with the happy and blessed. The host or unseelie are the dark and grim. Gruagaghs are wizards and both courts can have them. Their place of magic is called a tower. There is more negative energy since more of the Host died in the woods and more negative energy soaked into the Ley Lines there. Guffy and his kind have been purifying the ley's for a century now. The Sluagh come out even before it is fully dark. Something has caused a reversal. Koogie tells Rowan the woods near there is not a place he and Foxy like to play. Porkchop asks if it could be a human thing that is causing it. Disbelief in faerie weakens them. Belief in evil creatures give the Host energy to grow in strength. Only little kids believe in fairy. Porkchop apologizes and promises he will believe in them, "What am I saying?!? Of course I believe!" Fox is glad to have his help but doesn't think an increase in slasher movie watching is causing this. A director is making a horror movie in the woods. The guards always kicked Pork and his group out of the movie set. Koogie tells him they will try it in faerie and Pork is excited. Guffy looks down at Porky, smiling, "I think we've got another tadpole touched by faerie," and he laughs. Porky says, "If so, may I never be untouched."

	Early morning, second day at Fiddle Wit Island: Tapiet's night shirt is one he won off a Sorulian officer in a card game. It says STARDUSTERS in foggy letters. Tige asks if that is his uniform but Tapiet tells him no it is just his glove. Tige is in his longer shorts and sandals; in some scenes he looks far bigger than Tapiet. Turk has invited him to check some markers with him: a 3 day cruise, "Just him and me!" Tapiet takes off his night shirt and puts on short shorts, telling Tige that Turk hopes Tige is a Selkie. Tapiet will explore the island. Tapiet tells Tige he could come out to Turk cause he's a real believer in Faerie. Tige will be leaving in an hour and is too excited to eat breakfast. Tige tells him he can wade to the mainland if he gets bored with the island, close to Skillyhope but tells him to look out for Ralph and his gang of bullies. they always pick on Tige and his friend FOXFIRE. Foxfire won't use glamours to disguise himself and, "Well, he looks almost as weird as you do!" Tapiet comes back with, "But I look even more human than you!" Tige points, "Yeah, sure! All little human rug rats have tit rings (on his right nipple), tattoos (on his neck), long white hair, and smoke cigars!" Tapiet tells him itis a candy cigar. Tige counters by telling him that Ralph and his friends will pound on him. Tige leaves Tapiet to cross his arms, "Rats! I thought for sure I'd fit in with the Earthlings!" His hips are not fully covered by his tiny shorts. He thinks about wearing a shirt with a high collar and cutting his hair but decides not to, "No! I'm a book! We are always unique in the whole universe. And I'm proud to that I'm a book! So, Ralph, you're one of those assholes who bully anybody you feel is different, ehhh. Well, you're gonna find out different kicks butt!!" On a high rock, he waves goodbye to Tige and Tuck. Tapiet would ordinarily avoid bullies like Ralph but he has to find out how to help Silverband, so he seeks out Ralph first. He finds a kid with black hair, short cut in front and long bangs with a fanged dog and thinks, "Then again maybe I won't!" As Ralph pulls his hair, he says, "Dorkter Ralph, I presume..." Ralph calls him a wuss, asking how he knows his name. Tapiet says it was under the wish you were missing poster and kicks him between the legs. He throws something at the dog to get him to leave. Tapiet finds Foxfire in a tree with a wound on his side, shorts on only and big puffy hair like a fox. Ralph sicked his dog on Foxfire and it hurts like hell. Foxfire tells him Ralph is gonna be pissed when he comes to. Tapiet says, "He's gonna be lucky if he can piss when he comes to." He will take Foxfire to a doctor with Finn if he can get him to the house. Foxfire faints. They passed a waterfall and trees. Tapiet finds a treehouse with a ladder.

	Tapiet runs for Finn, making Foxfire feel as comfortable as possible. He overhears Finn talking to Kohl Drake (of DRAGONRING, DRAGONFORCE, DRAGONFIRE) about the thing that landed in the ocean that is signalling to outer space. Helicopters are on the way. Tapiet isn't sure it is Silverband but he knows other aliens are here: the Order has a little outpost on Earth but in the Southern Hemisphere but since the warp passed over this area they have been isolated from the QLU. Perhaps it is some warp rider or some crashed ship. Tapiet puts on his chain gear, takes his guns, knife, grenades, arm brace coverings, and his necklace. We see his tattoo is a butterfly like thing. He hopes to find Foxfire still unconscious so that he can sneak in some space medicine without him being the wiser (nice friend!!!) but Foxfire is awake. Fox recalls him looking a little more normal not like some exotic biker brat. Tapiet heals him, calling him a werefox. The medi kit is dangerous but he leaves it with Foxfire at the treehouse, going off on his mission to help Silverband. It comes from a different galaxy. Tapiet says something odd: "Foxfire is really decent. I'd bust my hump to make it back just because I own him." Perhaps he meant "owe" him. Tapiet calls to Silverband and calls to him. Teeth come up over to his legs undersea, "What the frick was that?" Tapiet is a tiny spot on Silverband's nose, blown up for us readers to TAPIET IS HERE. The cocoon maturation has hatched him into a fully adult polymorphñña giant and very giant dolphin formñña form which Silverband thought was cuter than a whale. NASA has been tracking him and the UN has helicopters above. Silverband's gangññlots of them are heading toward Earth, knowing what Earth did to him and "...boy, are they pissed!"

	Three fold law of the Adept's: whatever one does comes back to them three fold. This encourages to harm none. Magical Herbalism: Fern and his basic powers. Koogie plays with others of his kind. Foxfire blames himself to Mr. Johnson for not having Porkchop call home when he slept over. Foxy tells him he doesn't have a phone. Mr. Johnson thinks of Foxy, "Nice kid. Weird hair." They wave goodbye. The two meet up with Rowan and begin heading to Gruagagh's Woods. Rowan, once there, feels the wrongness in the energies. They step into faerie. Pork can feel it now too and sees fungus on the trees. They see skeletons fighting with swords...ghosts left over from the war, being given form, Koogie tells them. They run and see four kids in leather, Foxy thinking the movie may be sciñfi but Porky tells him it is not. Rowan thinks they might be escapees from the Royal Leatherette Ballet Company. They laugh. The boys are safe as long as they don't walk into the energy pool like they are doing. Simon in his glasses, tells Neji and Lee to stop. The four are in tight leather jumpsuits. Simon sees the white shadows...ghosts! Lee thinks he needs his glasses fixed and calls Simon a wuss. Rowan, Fox, and Porky stop Lee from going on by shifting into the mortal world again. Simon is nearsighted. Rowan tells Lee that Simon is gifted with the sight and calls him a tadpole. Perrigrin is grabbed by the skeleton and his wings come out and he flies away in pain, possessed by a Laird's memory trying to leave the battle. Rowan changes into a black bird and follows. They all run and leave Porkchop who has a hand put on his shoulder...a dark bearded man who makes him gulp!

	Herbalism: Juniper; also a poem about a fair lad in the first of May being forever handsome washing in the dew from the Hawthorn tree; Perrigrin is at the memory's limits. He falls from the sky into water and Rowan goes in after him. He will be fine Rowan says despite swallowing half the Atlantic Ocean. Saying, "If he's hurt, Dog boy, I'll get you," among other things, Lee yells at Foxfire. Foxfire turns into a fox and tells Lee, "Screw you!" Foxfire will let Rowan deal with the boys if he can stomach them. He will return to help Porkchop and Koogie in the Haunted Woods but must first get some clothes since changing didn't affect his clothes, too. He finds his bathing suit in the old wagon. He takes a shortcut through Bogan's Bog. The man with Porkchop is part elf and he talks to Porkchop about moving the movie from Gerry's Woods. He will make a positive movie about Koogie and the other Seelies and do it on Seelie land. Foxfire in his skimpy bathing suit, tells Koogie, he is a hero just as Koogie tells him Porkchop is a hero. Koogie told Chop to tell the producer about the Faerie like it was some fantasy and the guy gobbled it up. Foxfire, his bathing suit not really covering his hips, races Koogie for the last slice of pizza. Koogie tells him to prepare to eat only the crumbs. Foxfire finds Lee, Perrigrin, Simon, and Neji at his placeññthe treehouse and Lee is climbing up, Aw sniff my crotch, dog breath!" and also adds, "Go pee on a tree, mutt!" Simon is awed about real faerie folk. Lee tells him, "Trust you to get all gushy over faeries, Simon." Neji yells, "That's it, dickhead. You've been sniping at us ever since I got vamped by Hue (in CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, Neji is bitten by Hue a vampire, to save him). Neji yells, "Get used to your new status in Dragonring or get out!" Perri runs to help Lee recover as Lee cries. Neji tells Simon he hopes Lee won't quit and leave, but they couldn't go on this way. They hope Perri can help him. Perri finds Lee who says he hates Neji. Perri explains to him that his kung fu skills always had a super human element to them but now they are all equals since they all have that special edge. He also makes Lee see that Neji didn't say some of the things that Lee thought he did. Perri tells him he is still the leader, "None of us has the fire, the daring, the piss and vinegar to lead, like you! You can be a royal pain in the butt but you're our pain in the butt." The Dragonring boys have on black gloves and boots. Foxy found the treehouse and fixed it up. He wants to keep them out as does Tapiet from his guest house, "Damn Earthlings." Foxy meets Tapiet in the woods. They collaborate on their "escapees from the school of bondage and discipline." They both think the same thing and slap each other's hands, "May the force by with us!!"

	Photos of planes fly past an emerging dolphin giantññSilverband and the effect is rather nice. Silverband's energy field holds off the jet Red Dog fighters. Tapiet calls the jet a sonofabitch. Tapiet uses his grenades. Red Dog leader is called and told the thing got two of his men but we see parachutes so they must have survived. The dolphin goes into space. Shuttle Enterprise calls, "We've got a gigantic dolphin on our port side. What'll we do?" Another pilot thinks, "Bend over and kiss your ass goodñbye!" There is also a man with a jet pack on out in space not even half of the size of the eye of Silverband. Tapiet will meet Bluey and tell him about the plan to switch into the faerie dimension. Hewill do this once they finish scaring the shit out of the dirtsiders (humans). The pack cauterize the atmosphere over Skillyhope so any more worms won't suffer the same agony passing into the atmosphere again. Tapiet pops back into the human dimension and onto Earth. The grubs crash into the ocean to try to change like Silverband didññbut they can't be seen since they are in faerie but they do take up space in both dimensions. Some kid (who looks Oriental and is probably Lee) in denim shorts comes with a fishing pole, "What the hell is he supposed to be?!" He pulls Tapiet's hair and slaps his face and ears. "See ya around fluff butt." Tapiet falls, "Creep! Rotten bully!" Tapiet snaps a stick, "If I ever find that asshole again..!" He hears the kid's laugh coming from the house and finds Finn there with Tapiet's new roommates: Lee, Neji, Simon, and Eric (?). He will now be sharing his areaññthe guest house. Kohl is there too. Tapiet gets mad and tells him he would like it as much as grenade up the butt. He leaves, with one boy calling him a snob, Simon asking what his problem is, and Neji asking who wants to share with him anyway. Lee gives him the finger. He sneaks back into the house bedroom to get his belongings and hears them dissing him, "Who cares! They're dragonshits!" He leaves, crying, but doesn't want them to see him crying. He is alone in the woods and it is getting dark. He sobs.
Foxfire/Stardusters#14	in Elflore vol.3 #3
	Fox and Tapiet are in the treehouse now being taunted in the morning by Lee who calls them were wiennie (Foxfire) and chickens. Tapiet throws a rock at him and knocks Lee out cold. Lee wears a short cut black tñshirt with no sleeves, the side arms having been cut off. Simon uses a mind blast to fix Foxfire who transforms into a fox to escape the pain. He jumps down at Simon who has his glasses on and a short cut white tank top and a pentagram necklace along with little shorts like the rest. Simon grabs Foxfire's tail for getting Lee hurt but Foxfire starts to turn into a boy form again (and we see him half boy, half fox with tail and fangs!). Neji tells him if anyone is gonna do any biting it's gonna be him. He shows his vampire fangs but Koogie grabs him by the foot and trips himññhe can't change forms correctly. Simon yells, "Neji! Neji! ñSobñ" Neji has on a short cut black shirt, too. Tapiet spins Neji around. He tosses him up, "There he goes! The bad year blimp!" Perrigrin jumps Tapiet with his wings on. Kohl comes and yells at him not to abuse his powers, "Remember what happened in New York!" Fox and Tapiet sit on a branch as Kohl carries Lee. Foxfire, seemingly naked after his transformation and Tapiet tell Kohl that Lee was a bully and had to be stopped. They invaded their home. Kohl tells them they should not hit people with rocks. He could have been killed. He tells the Dragonboys not to mess with these kids and he is sure they won't mess with them. Perri says, "Yea, dragonfire owns the island." Simon says, "They will have to behave!" Tapiet and Foxfire look at each other and smiling say, "NOT!!" Tapiet says, "Bbluuuuuttt!" Koogie hangs upsidedown, "Kiss my arse!" Foxfire puts up his middle fingers, "Dragondorks!"
Foxfire/Stardusters#15	in Elflore vol. 3 #4
	Herbalism: four winds oil; a month has past since the WAIF WARS and all is quiet. Foxfire tells Koogie and Tapiet that he is going to start furring up...all those autumn breezes are nippy on a bare butt. It is the first week of September. Foxfire will teach Tapiet which herbs and plants are good and they will start storing up. Koogie hears the Dragondorks coming back. The four boys are starting school at the Skillyhope Peninsula. Fox and Tapiet tell them not to trespass. Simon tells them to sod off. Simon tells Neji not to make a fuss: they can't help being ignorant little savages with no schooling. Neji says they are illiterate hicks. Perri says they are inferior. Lee says bums for the rest of their lives. Tapiet and Foxy make funof the way the boys talk and walk and Koogie joins in, teasing that they "is doomed to be iggeranat slobs" "a life of beer bellies and sweat stains" and as Koogie says, "Dumber than mule shit." Tapiet says, "The strut of a slut is mainly in the butt." Lee hears one more crack out of them and he will chop some necks. They follow the boys to school. Tapiet asks, "And where is that bitchy strut?" Fox says, "In the butt, in the butt." A teacher with beret, moustache, monocle, and mean temper yells at all the poofs to get in. Tapiet asks what that is. They spy on the class. This is Colonel Snodsquint who will make men out of them. Skillyhope, he claims is a magnet for real men, covered in guts and glory. Leif Erickson was shipwrecked on this very spot, loosing the star of time and life, a crystal said to have dropped from the heavens, bringing eternal life and the ability to travel through time. Foxy has heard something about that. The janitor knows teacher knows and runs off to tell Master Horribin. Inside, Lee and the other boys are drawing star stones.
Foxfire/Stardusters#16	in Elfheim vol. 4 #4
	Skillyhope's posh private school has a teacher tell of a legend of a special crystal with powers as Tapiet (his hair in apony tail), Foxfire, and Koogie spy on the class and catch Star Fever. The janitor knows something so the trio follow him. The man goes to his master Horribin and another. The other man, Daywid, needs the star to save his brother Winny. He was cut down in his prime by a horrid ham sandwich (sort of like 1998's TEEN ANGEL on ABC was cut down by a hamburger left under someone's bed for a yearññwhich the fool ate!). Foxfire tells Tapiet the man is the truant officer who is Horribin. Tapiet is wearing a one suspender one piece. Daywid will go back in time and strike that lethal lunch from Winny's hands. He moves back to find the hiding spot of Fox and Tapiet. They run but the guy chases Foxy. The man in the hat, the truant officer, runs at Tapiet. Tapiet feels some sort of electric energy from the Horribin man. Four tiny elvesñfairies drop a rock on the head of Daywid to save Foxy who couldn't have lasted much longer running. One fairy tells him that the madman has hurt a lot of wereñfolk. Tapiet meets up with him. Foxfire tells Tapiet the man Horribin is human...sort of. The four dragonring dudes come and yell that the star is there's. Simon, Lee, Neji, and another boy (Perri?). Simon tells Foxy not to use his magic but Foxfire tells Simon he started it with his blast. An elf earred boy in a bow tie and suit says hi to Tapiet and tells him that Porkchop and he are gonna look for the star. Willis, a curly haired angelic blond boy and another boy with black hair (not Swift but maybe Ralph?) arrive and tells Perri they have their glider wings. Two small twin boys and another boy, possibly Ralph, are there, also ready to find the Star. Tapiet comments, "The Snodsquint Star Hunt. Heaven help Skillyhope!" Fox and Tapiet run with Koogie. The other boys fight while the janitor spies on them and readies to report back to his Master.
Foxfire/Stardusters#17	in Elfheim: Dragon's Dreams #1
	Hazel wood is the featured herb. Koogie is posting Swiftfoot for neat drawings. He is using the computer BB. An elf boy with pointed ears is with Tapiet. They have a dozen of Koog's friends and Guffy's moved in downstairsññit will be a cold winter. Foxy comes back earlyññhe got fired by Ben Hardcreep, the scumwad who just writes that perverted Dear Bernie column. Foxy can appeal, Tapiet tells him, putting his hand on his shoulder. Foxy doesn't want to. He wants to look for the stone. The elf boy wavesññPorkchop and he will find it. Tapiet laughs, "In yourdreams." 400 years ago a pirate appeared with wealth. There was a battle for a blue crystal but in a storm, everyone disappeared. Legends say they were caught in an underwater cave. Koogie has to tell his friends on the computer about looking for a map. Tapiet yells he could have told the enemy. Koogie tells them to relaxññthese guys could be in Tokyo. It is Simon! He knows who it was who told him this. Neji wonders if Simon is giving away secrets on the computer. Kohl tells Perri not to follow him anymore. Kohl is mad that this is what comes from Hotachi and the others humoring these brats. He would have these four wusses locked away in a military academy somewhere unable to get in the way of real super heroes. He tells them to get back to their homework. Simon tells him it is already done. After Kohl leaves, Simon gushes, "Isn't he magnificent?" Lee calls him a big bully and tells Simon he's a little slut. Simon yells at Lee, "Never call me that again, you hypocrite. Your morality makes the whore of Babylon look pristine." Neji wants to stop their fight and go look for the stone. Simon will find the stone and use the money to escape this dump. Perri claims none of them will be as famous as he will be. Neji says, "Or as obnoxious." Simon goes to sit down, lamenting, "I hate Dragonforce! They let my uncle send me to that evil school, where Swift was KILLED and all they've ever done to that mad man is reward him! I suck up to Kohl cause I'm terrified he'll send me back to my insane uncle!" Neji puts a hand on his shoulder, "I know, Sy. I know." Bern Hardcreep intercepts Foxy and Tapiet. He will make examples of the three of them (Foxy, Tapiet, and squirrel). He fired Foxy because he is too weird and children should not rebel and will be severely punished. Koogie calls him Worm Shit. He was so evil the two of them just stood thereñññTapiet wonders if the Host has risen again. Foxy tells him no, it was just 100 percent mortal meanness. His cruelty is a festering sickness. REVIEW: Some cute fun as Foxfire does not have to deliver papers (but I must admit I liked him having this jobññit kept him in touch with the real world and could lead to all types of adventures). More fun as Koogie and Simon communicate on the computer. Simon's lamentations add a bit of realness to this and we learn here THAT SWIFT DID INDEED DIE IN THAT ISSUE OF DRAGONFIRE. AlsoññKohl acts like a real creep here, telling Perri he cannot go with him anymore. He doesn't think having kids around is a good idea. It is dangerous and for that he might be right. But he is a real jerk about it here. Simon, Lee, and the others should be friends with Tapiet and Foxy.
Foxfire/Stardusters#18	in Elflore: High Seas #1
	Simon and Neji laugh at Lee who is playing what Simon calls Indiana Idiot. Lee is dressed with a whip, a hat, a jacket and well, like Indiana Jones in his quest to find the star stone. He tracks to someplace but finds Simon and Neji there first...they simply followed the nature walk trail. Perri is with them, made that Kohl meant for him to stay with these three cretins. Neji says, "You're really turning into a shit, Perri, you know?!" Half way up Lone Tree Cliff, Tapiet and Foxfire find the 10th lone tree and there are more. They split up and Tapiet doesn't feel so good. Lee has blown up at the others for teasing him and runs into Tapiet just as he and Foxy split up. He asks for information which a Book like Tapiet must give when askedññit is his prime directiveññfurnish info. Lee says, "Nice outfit, dude." It looks like Tapiet is wearing a nightie one piece. Tapiet thinks,"Shit! Of all the assholes to stumble on a book's compulsion." Lee thinks someone did a good job pounding politeness into him. He wonders if the same would happen if Lee asked him to do his homework for him. With rings under his eyes, Tapiet runs. Tapiet shifts into the dimension known as faerie. He still doesn't feel good. On his map now is no star stone but some kind of winged creature. Tapiet realizes that every boy in Skillyhope is running around looking for Faerie ferrets. He is glad he doesn't go to school. Map is by Lucienne Kennedy. Fox catches up to him and they go back to mortal world. Simon and Neji see them and make fun that the little kid who flits around in the absolute zero of space has a cold. One hour later and with a fever of 103, Tapiet says, "Those shits! We gave up all our natural powers to do everything their way. And when we get sick because of it, they laugh." Koogie, a squirrel again, has a cap on. Tapiet is sick.
China Sea #1	in Elflord: Return of the King #1
	by Barry Blair and David Mielcarek: Troy and a very American looking lite haired kid named Eric fly in a plane near Monkey Island. There has been some weird sightings around the area...passing ships have seen lights, UFOs, monsters, Bermuda Triangle stuff. They land and Troy Adams makes Eric test the water to make sure there are no devil fish in it. Eric calls, "You prick." He is now in his bathing suit. Troy calls the monkey boys, Eric wonders if they got shy since the last time they were here. Fronz and Hans, German soldiers it would seem, shoot auto rifles at them. Troy tells Eric to get behind him, "Yeowzers!" Eric tells him he is hit (in the shoulder) and Troy tells him he noticed, "Now shaddap!" He gets the two but he tells Eric he thinks he's gonna have to be on his own from now on.

	wonderful art as Eric helps Troy along. Troy is in bad shape and hurting. Eric keeps going inland. A giant nativeñgorilla like man picks Troy up. Eric yells, "Troy, fight back." "How's this ya little shit," Troy says as the thing slams him into a tree. Troy jumps the thing; Eric asking what he is gonna do. Troy tells him, "Die on him. What else; that'll fix him." He is getting his second wind as the thing is on top of him, ready to finish him. Spears come out of the jungle and kill the thingñman. Troy thinks his back is broken. Monkeyñboys with small thongs and large wild Mohawks and painted faces arrive, almost fully naked. They tell them the jungle is full of creatures and soldiers but they will take the pair.

	by Barry blair and angel De mioche: Troy wakes up and sees a native witch doctor yedda myn binging away over him. He is surrounded by the tribal boys. The doc goes on: Bow 10, pecka waka wikky. Troy gets mud thrown on his face and wants the doc away from him. Eric laughs as DañFeng tells him to call the Doctor Spud. His arm is fine now and his bruises and cuts are gone. Nazis and other dementos are all over the island. Da Feng and his tribe have been forced to the Caves of Eternity. The little doctor boy tells Eric that even though they are immortal, when their bodies are brutalized too much, it takes years to completely heal. Until they do, anyone coming upon them in their half life state will have willñless slave. A little boyñthe Doctor as he tells Troy and Eric this information is on top of Troy's face when he swims in the lake with Eric and DaFeng. In that state, the boys will know what they are doing but cannot deny themññthey will be forced to do their bidding. The Nazis have taken over control of the island. Swimming down in the caves, Da Feng shows them what he and his tribe would do if they were taken over as such slaves. He shows Eric and Troy something that makes Troy widen his eyes. Eric gasps, "You wouldn't..!"
The Hawkling #1	in Elflord: Return of the King #4
	THE HAWKLING: a monk with three acolytes returns to the Crescent Moon temple after visiting the Great Spirit Archives. They have the sacred scroll of Tamir Moonstar. An old elf makes Hawk, a little boy elf in short underwearñlike covering come out with what looks like a homemade gun. He wants the Scroll. They laugh at him but he shoots a small rock at one who falls with his eyes open. The carrier boy says, "Oh shit." The other one runs but the dart hits him in the right butt cheek and he falls. The other, the carrier, Spudling, is hit in between the legs by accident. The fat monk falls and seems to die, telling the acolyte to protect the scroll. The older elfmanña Fagin typeññtells Hawk to kill the acolyte boy. Afraid, the boy nervously says he will just be moseying along. Hawk takes out a short sword and won't kill the boy for the scroll. Hawkcuts the manñelf, who calls him a little shit. The manñelf makes two other boys, one with small pig tails on the top of his head and another eager to kill inside. He yells, "Go! Get him! Take him down! Hamstring him! Just bring him back to ME...ALIVE!" One comes at Hawk with his sword, "I'm gonna enjoy this, Erickson. I've always hated you!" Hawk punches that one in the underarm, "I wasn't that fond of you, either." The pig tailed one comes up behind him with a sword. The boy with the scroll (Spudling) hits the pig tail boy in the head with the scroll. The boy leads Hawk out to the temple. The boys recover but a rock hits the elf man in the head as he yells at Hawk and his new little friend. The elfman slaps around the two boys that failed. The pig tailed one cries tears. He tells the other boys to load the other two prissy bitches onto the cart, they will bring a good price at the slaver's market. He will sell the two acolytes and the two who failed. Both boys cry loads of tears. Then the elf man will visit the temple. At the Temple of the Crescent Moon, a monk greets the boy and Hawk, wondering what the filthy packrat Hawk is doing with him. He wonders if they should throw him in the dungeon. The fat monk is alive and returns, telling them he saved the scroll. The first monk greets the fat one, Yee Hung Lo.
The Hawkling #2	in Elflord: Summer's Magic #1
	by Barry Blair and Angel de Mioche: a month has passed since Hawk came to the Temple. Hawk trains in the martial arts as if born to the way. Spudling roots Hawk on during his training with another boy, "Turn him into road kill. Atta boy!" The monk slapshis ears, wanting less martial and more art. Young Hawk stops working with his staff, sweating. Blackraven almost had him. Hawk takes on twice the opponents than any other boy. Spudling mentions Hawk stinks right now but Hawk counters by telling that Spudling was ripping farts all night long. Hawk is in the skimpiest of loin cloths as is Spudling. They go swimming and tease each other. Spudling tells Hawk all around him fish are dying but Hawk tells him from his gas attacks and splashes him. Watching them in a crystal ball is the elf man who once had Hawk work for him. All he's ever had since the boy ran off with the scroll is bad luck. He will not kill Hawk any more, Hawk is his luck. He will just knock off his nuts. "That'll show him there's no hard feelings." He climbs a wall. He thinks guard dogs are coming. One does and scares the elf man offññone little white haired poodle. He jumps over the wall but is safe inside the temple now. Midnight: he sneaks into Hawk's room and puts a knife to his throat, saying, "Hello sleeping beauty." If Hawk will not come with him, he will kill Spudling, his room is third from the end. He tells Hawk to get the scroll and bring it to the Swine and Swill Inn tomorrow afternoon alone. He hits Hawk and then kicks him. Hawk tells him he hates him. Looking in on Spudling, Hawk says, "I won't let that monster touch you!" Hawk finds the scroll in a terribly claustrophobic room, quiet and easy to steal. He takes it. Spudling finds out and the Master, already watching Hawk, does not agree that Hawk has failed the testññbut things will made tougher for him now. Hawk in his underwear runs through the night, "Everything's ruined! I'll kill him!"
The Hawkling #3	in Elflord: Summer's Magic #2
	at the inn, Hawk is in a fringe vest and loin cloth. He hears a Laaaaa! and says, "What the hell is that?!?" It is a singing white haired elf who wears a tight one piece, no sleeves or leggings, lots of jewelry on his legs, feet, and across his chest, stomach, attached to his shoulders, with a jewel on his forehead, a necklace, ear rings, freckles, and a flower tattoo around his eye. This is Windblade the troubadour. Hawk's request of him, "Never do that again!!" Windblade tells him though he insults him, he senses danger about him. "Tell me something I don't know," Hawk snaps. "Okay," he touches his own temples, "You and I will be together..." Hawk says, "In your dreams twinkle tits." The monk tells Spudling that Hawk owns the scrollññhe owns it and everything in this kingdomññthere is nothing to have to forgive. He and Spudling are on their way to the Inn. Hawk is the rightful heir to the throne. The monk rides a donkey. Hawk swishes the scroll into the face of the elf man who wants it from him. He doesn't care if he destroys the scroll as long he destroys this evil man. Windy tells him the case is empty, he felt it by his magic. Hawk hits the scroll between Windy's legs, "Feel this!!" For the first and last time in his singing career Windblade hits a perfect high C. Two Putties in love with the music and each other listen. An elf man with ear rings, drinking from a glass jar is wowed as it cracks from the music. A boy with a painted face listens as one of his friends has his hair stand up. Hawk puts the scroll into the elfñman's chest as he attacks to kill Hawk. Hawk hid the scroll in his room and met the monster man with an empty case to save SpudlingññSpudling adds. The monk hits Spudling's head and he gasps, "Ow!" Windy tells Hawk, "Snifññyou hurt me!" Hawk yells, "You could have gotten me killed! Idiot!" The Monk sees the little Sidhe. Spudling laughs it up with Hawk and they hug, "She?!? Hehehe!!" The monk spells it out, "Sñiñdñhñe, a worker of magic, especially when around an elfheimbane." Hawk says, "Whatever. Let's go home, Spuddy." Hawk and Spud leave the monk to look at Windy.

Foxfire/Stardusters#20	in Elflore: High Seas #2
	Foxfire takes Tapiet's thermometer and tells us that his cold has spread to others in the house, those still standing are so busy that his majesty Hawk Erickson has offered to help, taking over the backup stories in ELFHEIM AND ELFLORE. Foxy promises to be back next month. Tapiet looks at the thermometer, "Whadz Dat? Will id make me Pfeel bedder?" Windy in a baseball hat turned backward, a normal top shirt, and Hawk in leather jacket Samurai Toshiro style are there. Windy tells the squirrel doctor that his spell for curing gout has the cook up and dancing in seconds. The squirrel says, "Spell, Schmell! Here we use the real thing." Purple Coneflower, white willow bark and vitamin C. Hawk tells Butter Butt Windy to come on and tell the story for Foxfire and his friends. FAREWELL GREENHAVEN reprint which continues in ELFLORD'S SUMMER'S MAGIC #3..
Foxfire/Stardusters#21	in Elflore: High Seas #3
	part 1ñthe Squirrel Doctor tells Tapiet he is the worst patient ever. He also tells Tapiet he feels much better which the little guy realizes now. Foxfire comes up and seems to be wearing LOGAN'S RUN MOVIE shirt. All agree that Tapiet did complain that much. Foxy cries tears over his paper boy job. Ralph is delivering the paper to their door but Tapiet tells him they don't have a subscription. Koogie appears to be the Doctor. The two little squirrels or ferrets think that was a spiteful thing to do, the bastard rubbing their noses in Foxy's job being terminated because he is different. They all feel it is time for revenge. Foxy and Koogie tell the two and Tapiet to hang back while they check ahead and tell them to watch for Hardcreap or Dragondorks. Foxy has a bogus starstone treasure to put where the Dragondopes will find it. Koogie will spy on the writer and stir things up. Simon runs to Lee and tells him that Kohl Drake is beating Neji, telling Lee he has gone nuts, that Kohl is telling Neji that he isn't respectful enough. Simon doesn't care if Kohl has gone crazyññhe has to help Neji. He drags Lee in to find Neji. Sitting on his bed, Neji tells them he won't be all right until he kills that sonofabitch. All Neji did was call Kohl sir when he said good morning. The new column by that bastard Hardcreap in the Ask Bernie column is advice on child care to parents...the Marquis De Sade's rule book! A real perversion, not just simple punishment. Ever since that director stirred up Gerry's Woods, Neji feels they have had a flock of evil people trying to move to Skillyhope.
Foxfire/Stardusters#22	in Elfheim: Dragon's Dreams #3
	Foxfire tells Tige he is playing a trick on some of the guys...a fake starstone. There is nothing wrong with the other boys just the crap they are wearing... Tige figures it is like boys are almost in purdah only without the veils. "Like the only way to prove you're macho is being bald and wearing sacks. I believe some clothes designers hate boys." Koogie and two squirrel pals go to Bern Hardcreap's place... the columnist who hates boys. They rip his clothes up on the clothes line. Neji is going to find that treasure with Lee so that when he is rich, Kohl can't touch them. Simon wonders if only they were free of Kohl's control now. Simon wonders what protects the other two brats from Kohl's cruelty. He stomps off to find out. Tapiet is supposed to be resting after a cold. He wants to document this illness. He almost falls off the tree. "What am I saying? I can fly through space and I'm afraid of falling off this branch? But I promised not to use my alien powers. Geeze, now they've got me feeling guilty about being myself! Well, no more!" A few rebellious moments later, he is flying, "This feels sooooo good!!" They agreed not to use powers around Earthlings. All that is missing is a little starlight, a little solar wind, and the refreshing touch of raw space against the skin..." Simon arrives. Tapiet rushes at him, "No! You need to get the dick off our land! NOW!" Simon yells back that it is Dragonforce's land, tears coming out of his eyes behind his glasses, demands to know why Kohl doesn't yell at them or beat them. Tapiet wonders if they have been trying to get him to hurt Foxfire and himself. Simon yells no but they are trying to get Kohl to stop abusing them! Ever since Kohl read Bernie's articles, he changed and today he beat Neji because of the articles. Tapiet tells Simon that Fiddle Wit really belongs to Turk. He tells Simon to tell Tige what Kohl Drake's been doing and Tuck will make Kohl stop. Simon grabs Tapiet around the neck from behind, "Thanks! Oh, thanks!" Tapiet gasps, "ARWK!" Tapiet tells him this doesn't mean they are friendsññit just means they both hate sadistic pricks. Simon says whatever he says as long it stops Kohl Drake. A chipmunk and talking squirrel come and tell them that Koogie put himself between the two of them and the net and got caught by insane dog catcher Daywid and Bern Hardcreap. Simon hears them talking. Daywid kills every animal he catches. Even wereñfolk in animal form. Tapiet will get Foxy and stop those bastards.
Shadowdance	in Elflord: Summer's Magic #4
	Cinnibon, on the humanñelfin border, a drowning city. Moss and permeating wet. Broken buildings and Venice like water ways. A den of mercenaries, thugs, thieves is thebrother of the Elfin king. A round ear drinks. They want to find the brother of the Elfin king. A shirtless thongñdrape wearing almost naked skinny elf boy dances. Hawk and his younger brother were separated. When presented to his brother, the human hopes to be made king's champion. A ghoul faced elf in a robe presents the dancing boy (or another dancing boy? It is difficult to tell). Poetry graces this graphic and subtle story. The ghoul owner wants a price for the boy: every year a temple has the boys of the Order Dance which causes a rift in space and a great gem appears. The soul of their powers. It costs them dearly and the gem is only visible for an instant. He believes Sparrow could dance it into existence. The ghoul face will get the gem and the stealers will get the boy. Dance partners and other boys tell Sparrow he had the crowd transfixed and they he did well. One has straight lite hair, the other has more thick hair and maybe brown hair. A black hair behind them is angry and jealous, gives him the finger and calls him a show off when Sparrow says he just loves to dance, that's all.

Elfyntyme	in Elflord: Dragon's Eye #1
	A story of text that uses photos laced with art to show buildings, the Colonel, Binky, the Wizard of the Gentleman's Club, Merlin, and Kerri as well. The boy face matches the elf art and character fairly well. The Colonel laments that elves cannot make good brandy. There is a market on Pickerl Street a few blocks away from the Club. The Dragonfly's owner's wife has a voice that annoys. The Colonel think of his flat in London, Harrowgate and the 7 Dials back home. Roasted chestnuts of that faraway place. He had peers at the Royal Explorer's Club. He liked cigars. He liked the little beggars that drove him to distraction there. Binky has lost his leg in a battle at sea with a great and monstrous clam. The Colonel suspected the Captain had run aground when he was drunk in his cabin. Kerri padded along the smooth cobbles of Side Street with a huge bundle. It was mid summer and the heat was oppressive. He was in a foul mood. Twice a week he was to deliver supplies to the Gentlemen's Club. He was a page of Hawk's. He has satin tights and dainty velvet slippers and a silk blouse. Kerri turned onto High Street. Jeers of gangs and less fortunate boys would await him on the trip back and who were not chosen to be castle boys. Kerri thought he would faint as Merlin towered above him. Kerri has blond locks. Merlin IS the Wizard, part of the Club. He shows Kerri up since they have to make another order. Merlin asked for a map that Binky has been waving all over Greenhaven. Kerri knew something heinous was about to happen. The Wizard fished out his own pipe from the fireplace. Merlin cannot explain just yet what was going on.
Foxfire/Stardusters#23	in Elflore: High Seas #4
	An elf boy (Tigewho sometimes doesn't have pointed ears) with a deer or some other animal on the back of his jacket is playing a trick with Foxfire on the Dragonring team. Koogie has been taken by the enemy. Neji and Lee climb up Fox's treehouse when he and Tige run off to rescue Koogie. They see the purple slug that looks like Barney. Lee wants to him em' but that is not nice. BARNEY IS COOL! Dog Pound: a man with one tooth missing wants to kill Koogie who is in a box. The man with the high hat hits him, wanting it unharmed until one or both of those weird kids show up. They are always around when one of the animals are in danger. Bernie asks if they beat them then. Simon gets chills from the cries of the squirrels outside the pound, "So sad, so desperate. I hope Tapiet can save Koogie." Foxy grabs him and demands answers. Simon tells him the truth. Using Barney, Neji knocks Foxfire over, wanting the star but Foxy tells him the star doesn't exist. Tige squares off with Lee. Simon tells Tige that Tapiet said Tige would help them find the stone. Foxfire tells them there is no stone. Foxfire fights with Neji using the Barney doll and it rips to shreds. Tige tells them the teacher was just jerking them around. Tapiet scouted around while in faerie, Simon tells them this. Simon says, "Oh..I can feel something..." Lee says, "Not now, wuss! There is something in the energies. Daywind, Bern Hardcreep, and Horribin are all in the office while Tapiet spies on the window. Tapiet gets the box out and flies. It is hard to swim...like swimming in oil, an inter dimensional field. Simon feels like his head is being torn apart. Foxfire is being pulled into another realm.
Foxfire/Stardusters#24	in Elfheim: Dragon's Dreams #4
	Tapiet with the box splashes down into water, passing turtle and frog. In the box is Koogie. He surfaces and Koogie tells him it is hot wherever they are. Koogie turns back into his fairy self from the squirrel. They take off their clothes and dry out their hair and clothing. Koogie thinks he recognizes the place, "Elfheim! Hawk Erickson's world." Foxfire falls down, takes his shirt off and finds he is in the same place. A white haired elf asks Foxfire if he is his new master. Foxfire asks if he is Windblade. With his clothes back on (but the legs cut off totally), Tapiet asks Koogie if he shouldknow Hawk. Koogie tells him he met him when he was sick. "He's the king of the Elf world." Tapiet asks, "That punk teenager?" Koogie laughs, "When he visits the human world he loves to use that style." Tapiet feels an off world alien energyññFoxfire who runs at him. They reunite. Windy wonders if Tapiet is a Sidhe. The boys hug each other. Kibbi tells them he is the Sidhe for this area. Tapiet looks down, "You're also butt naked." Foxfire tells Kibbi that Windblade is the top Sidhe here. Koogie adds, "And everywhere else, dippi." Kibbi tells them that Ravenclaw and Cloudshadow are more powerful. Tapiet laughs that Kibbi can't even keep his pants on. Kibbi flicks Tapiet's nipple ring, "You don't even know magic is best worked nude!" He threatens them and calls them animals and barbarians. Tapiet punches Kibbi in the face and gives him a bloody nose and sticks his middle finger up at him. Foxfire says, 'Ah, Tapiet, the welcome wagon poster boy." Tapiet almost died before trusting the wrong beings. Koogie calls Tapiet a big piss ant. Foxfire says coming from Koogie that sounds funny. Tapiet agrees with Koogie. Some that Tapiet trusted in the past were killers. Tapiet goes on: it's the ones that mess with your heart and mind that are the worst but professional victims can be just as horrible, Foxfire adds. They climb a tree. Tapiet thinks Kibbi is a professional victimññnoting how badly he wanted a master. Foxfire hmmms, "Reminds me of Windblade." Tapiet learned some of this by being a book but by living through some of it himself. A small raccoon like fairy like Koogie is in the tree and they meet him, "We came with your treehouse," he tells them. A fraapp bursts forthñña face with mechanical parts claims to be home, back in Elfheim which he knows and he wants the power back. Kibbi comes upon him, a mess of metal and flesh, "Oooh, will you be my master?"
