This is a typical hutter dwelling in the oat fields near Fiddleeebod Castle. Bekka and Karro make a short, but important, visit to one such conical cottage on their second adventure, The Carven Flute.
These flatlands are located southwest of the Woeful Wanderers’ Wasteland. The four creatures high in the sky are probably ‘beeketbwen’, a common bird found on the planet Boad. Bekka and Karro passed north of this spot on their first adventure.
This painting is entitled ‘Beyond O’Tan’s Gate’. The third adventure of Bek and Kar takes them there.
Two moons orbit the world of Boad. They are called Jeth and Jith. I painted this when I was writing one of the earlier stories, a story most familiar to Bekka and Karro. That swimmer is Sill. Her twin brother, Fiss, is no doubt just out of view riding on their trampoline raft.
Zom Falbu is a time-traveling shapeshiftress. This is a painting I made of her caught in the act of shifting shape. Her story is one of the old ones. It is told by the second chronicler, Lace. For Bek and Kar, the story of Zom Falbu is vague and spotty, almost lost. Truly, it’s not one they know at all well.
This is a new character. She is a cragger, and she says her name is Dodden. She popped into my head the other day and demanded that I write her story. When I get all the facts straight, I’ll write it down. All I know so far is that she lost her right eye when she was young, and it was replaced with a Rainbow Eye of Sight by the lavender witch, Babba Ja Harick.
Here is the Carven Flute of Bekka’s second chronicle. When at rest, it looks like this. When activated, it floats in the air, pulses all the colors of the rainbow, and sings out clues of guidance.
The cottage of the lavender witch, Babba Ja Harick, is located deep in the Danken Wood. Bek and Kar know all there is to know about it, although they have never seen it. But they will. They undertake a visit to the cottage in Bekka’s second chronicle, The Carven Flute, and hear from the witch the story of her sister, who flew down the well to Earth long ago and met two children, Hansel and Gretel.
This is the oh so boring River Dragon from one of Bek and Kar’s favorite Gwer drollek stories, the one about Princess Lorelei Lo being raised in this Dragon’s underground lair. Why is the Dragon boring? She loves to tell stories that drag on seemingly forever. Drag on. Get it? Dragon.
And here is Mimsy the Sprite, orange light, the River Dragon’s best friend. Look closely. You can see her in there. Why is she the River Dragon’s best friend? She is the only creature in the universe that loves to listen to the Dragon’s stories.
Bekka’s inspiration for adventuring in the Woeful Wanderers’ Wasteland came from one of her favorite Gwer drollek (Once upon a time) stories, the one telling all about Blinky Greenwing (above), Bodgy of Thorns (below), and how they entered Rumin, the underground city.
