FLORA...
Such a sweet girl!!!... Horrid and greedy AND, very hungry pirates were chasing her! Poor Flora was scrambing along, stumbling, and bruised, tiring, practically faining in terror, helpless, because dodos can't fly. What a good thing that I was passing overhead and saw the pitiful sight. I swooped down, snatched Flora up, and away I went, zooming along. The pirates were astounded. They couldn't believe what they had just seen, ~ a flash of purple cape and, then, their prey, the dodo, just DISAPPEARED! Of course, I was back at my castle in seconds. I calmed Flora with kind words in my soothing voice. She was so very grateful. She rubbed against my arm like a cat. I gave her a meal of sliced apples amd sunflower seeds, and made her a soft bed next to my hearth. She has been with me for hundreds and hundreds of years now, for no one dies of old age in the blessed lands of Faerie.
