[EM Event]Taryn’s Travels – Ziggy and the Leprechauns
Posted on March 17, 2014 by EMFaineMorgan

Ziggy woke up and bounded out of bed and grinned. It was St. Patrick’s Day! He wasn’t really sure who this Patrick person was but it’s all the Leprechauns had talked about for weeks and today was the day and he was going to HELP! He was so excited he could barely contain himself. But he remembered what Taryn told him about trying to be calm. To tell the truth, he didn’t remember exactly what she’d said but she’d said it a LOT so it was probably important and had something to do with patience. Or calmness. Or, um, well, one of those things anyway. He was too excited to remember for sure. He was going to HELP! Today!

Ziggy pushed his way out of his sleeping tent with a huge grin on his face looking around for Shamrock Goldenshoes who had promised promised PROMISED that Ziggy could help him today.

Ziggy stopped and stared. Something was wrong, very wrong. The leprechauns weren’t signing and dancing and throwing their gold and shamrock’s into the air. They were quiet…and still…too quiet and too still. Ziggy had a very very bad feeling about this. Ziggy started backing up looking for somewhere to hide. He wasn’t sure what was happening but it was coming out of that big hole and it didn’t look good, it didn’t look good at all. In fact, it looked big and scary and the leprechauns were changing…

Ziggy dove back into his tent and covered himself with leaves and twigs. Maybe if he stayed really really still, the big, scary smoke thing wouldn’t see him. It smelled really bad too!

Ziggy started chanting softly as he squeezed his eyes tight shut and put his fingers in his ears, “Taryn, Taryn, Taryn, Taryn…I promise this is NOT my fault! I never helped at all!”

Taryn couldn’t shake the feeling that something was very wrong again. She was frustrated that they had yet to find anyone willing or able to even begin to look at the samples they’d collected. Everyone seemed to agree that Donal would know the best person to analyze the samples, but Donal was traveling and not due back for another few days.

Taryn had a sinking feeling they didn’t have a few days. In fact, it was St. Patrick’s Day and the leprechaun’s never failed to come visit. Only, this year they hadn’t and there’d been no sign of Ziggy. Yes, she was pretty sure that was a very bad sign.

Taryn pulled on her pack and set off. They better see if they could find Ziggy, and hope that all was well with the leprechaun’s.
