I-SHIP-HISTORIA-AND-YMIR Fantasy 5 days ago

TillyTad is very old, in fact, he's the oldest man in the world! He's 100,100,100,100,1000 years old!

But that's not the point, the point is, he's currently trying to go on an adventure to heaven, not to die, to just see the moon.

He wants you to go with him on the adventure.

Can you do that?

Chapter 22: An Old Brand of Wizardry

Now, TillyTad wants to let you in on a secret. Can you keep it?

He doesn't want to go to the moon on a rocket-ship, no! Those are far too big, and require training that TillyTad simply does not have the time or the agility left for! His secret is simple: he is a wizard. But even wizard's magic has a time limit, and TillyTad is getting there. He has enough strength yet, to spend it on, what many would call a rather foolish venture. Have you ever heard, pray tell, of a certain figure called the Man on The Moon?

He is a curious little fellow, a wizened old man who is said to reside upon the light side of the moon, his features carved into the crags and crater of the lunar surface. His existence is oft-debated amongst humans but TillyTad knows the truth, for this man is a distant ancestor of his, from years past. For, you see, there is a very old, very ancient, nearly lost brand of wizardry, titled, rather aptly: lunamancy. That is to say, the manipulation of all things to do with that great big pearl in the night sky, exclusive solely to TillyTad's long bloodline, laying dormant in his bloodstream, for this form of magic just so happens to be incredibly tricky to pull off. The Man in the Moon, had not intended to have his face all squashed against its surface, in fact, he intended wholly to return back home, but he fell just shortof achieving this goal. And he was the most successful lunamancer in all of memorable history.

Clearly, TillyTad has set out a generational task for himself, but he hasn't got the time nor the energy left to care much for where he ends up after this, age considered. And, he seems to be so very confident in himself and his plan. He has set out a deck-chair, and a very old, bronze telescope: rumoured to be that of one Galileo Galilei, and has prepared for himself, a spell. Will you help him chant it?

Here, I'll help you. It goes like this:

Chapter 33: Strictly TillyTad

Rattlepike Fantasy 2 days ago

Can you chant together with TillyTad? He can't do it by himself. He needs all our help.

Lunamancy is the dream

Moondancing is the means

Tapping feet and bouncing beat

Waving the hands and feeling the heat

Soon I'll stand upon the moon

Or instead I'll meet my doom.

As you can see this is a very tricky little piece of magic, even for a great wizard like TillyTad. Because it doesn't just involve saying a little word while waving a wand. Nor does it mean simply thumping a magic staff on the ground and yelling your head off. This kind of magic involves song, and dance. It involves wearing a rather dazzling set of spangly robes. It involves perfect co-ordination of body, mind, soul and vocal chords. Fortunately, although he is quite the elderly fellow, TillyTad is surprisingly light on his feet. (In fact, he can often be found making shapes in the centre of the dancefloor every Saturday night.) But still - this will be the hardest test of his magical skills. Will he manage it?
