Seasons Tidings!
How are all ye young hobbits and fogtobbits? Old fribbit stools and morganstimers! I know ye are getting ready for yer favorite time of earth…Poppins Eve! Anyone who is a proper wibclibbit knows that Poppins Eve is the day of days to celebrate!
Nay? Ye don’t know the tale of Poppins Eve!? Well cut my elf ears and call me a gnome! I must tell you of it then…
One starry night, back when humans and faery’s were in cooperation of the large bortip(a round orb made of pixie dust which would light up at nightfall), a change began. The humans were becoming greedy about the bortip and trying to study it. So the faerys said no to their blasphemy, and the war began. To this day, faerys can not trust humans, and humans refuse to the existing of faerys and all magic creatures for that matter.
The battle was not of a precious glitter, but more a gory rampash of delinquecy. The humans lost many and the faerys did also. So many were destroyed, that the battle seemed it would never end until both sides were dead. Many creatures became extinct on that porg day. Many humans lost their sons and daughters, fathers, mothers, uncles, and mothers in law(half removed). The next morning, the mourning was immense throughout both sides.
A pact was made between the humans and the creatures. The humans would get the land to live on, and the faerys would get all of the magic. Both sides had a great loss. The faerys would now be damned to hide for all eternity and only kept alive through stories and faerytales. The humans would have no power against the forces, and sadly, never be one with nature as the faerys still are to the very moment.
So that is the story of Poppins Eve. The next day the king, King Poppin of Piccadilly Pasture, declared it to be Poppins Eve; the greatest holiday ever. Because the war was over. Although the faerys had lost their world, they still had their magic and that was feat enough.
Hence, faeries now hide among the brush when you have stopped aside the road for a quick leaking, or tickle your nose on a brisk day when you think you might sneeze, or perhaps you have seen one amongst a stream gliding atop a leaf. Then again, maybe you did not because humans are so stubborn in belief.
Amidst it all, Happy Poppins Eve! May your pixies be many and your parsley be plentiful! Lingasmorg to all, and to all a good Gerheppin!
