Ceelie's Crush

Emero is a cute and hilarious little green dude. He's just about my size, and just about my age...and even has almost as much energy and capacity for totally adorable and innocent mischief as I do! We met at the Coliseum tournament. The night I found out he sort of had a crush on me too, he made me a little green emeraldy bracelet. After the tournament, he came back with the team to join TOA and stay with D. He helped us a lot on our adventures, even though we almost lost him when we ran into the Nightmare. I think a few of us almost got lost there.

But, it turned out E wasn't exactly what we thought. He was actually part of the Tabula legend! After we had the regular four forks, and found out there might be a fifth, he left me a note and disappeared in the middle of the night. The note said:

Dear Ceelie,
   I am ver, very sorry. 
I just realized I am the
fifth fork. I am part of
the Sphericus. Tabula will
capture me soon and you
will have to rescue me.
   I am part of the
legend ... and not real.
You need to save me
and complete the story.
You need to go to these
coordinates and believe
in finding Tabula.
   I am really sorry.
              -Emero

It was tough going through Tabula's base without him. But when we got to the end, he was there. Like a little green fork, doing his part in the legend. We got him away from Tabula, which made me feel better. It was good to see him one more time, and feel that he really was in there. When I saw Helen after the whole ordeal, she had one last note from him.

Hey Ceelie.
   Sorry I can't come
out. I have to stay
low until the legened
dies down. Or maybe
go into a new legend.
Bye bye.
              -Emero

Lily tried to help, with all her hacking of the Tabula game, and so did Tara, trying to get the little girls to all believe in E. But I think we're going to have to work a lot harder. I can't ask all my friends to work so hard, but I know I have to build a new legend, no matter how long it takes to spread bits and pieces of it across the world. And now that I can talk to Helen again, it won't be as lonely without a small friend, and I know she'll help me too.

The Mythkeepers

We met this very nice person named Agent Ekrose who works for a group called the Mythkeepers. I guess they are supposed to handle things like the Tabula myth, that just suddenly spring up and cause a great big fuss. Except, somehow, they missed this one! They talked to us about what happened, and what the myth was all about, and they were very glad it was centered on someone nice like me. They were trying to decide how to handle the aftermath of the myth. We asked them very very nicely to please help us help E.

They had to think about it for a while, but later, Agent Ekrose came back to talk to us again. He took us to a funny beach that felt very far away, and there was a cave. He told us they were helping us a little bit to bring Emero back. And when the sun was just setting, the whole cave lit up green and there was a warm, happy stone in the middle that felt like E!

I was very happy that they decided to help us. Everyone else went to play on the beach so I could have a little time alone in the cave. It was very thoughtful of them. I don't usually stop paying attention to everyone else, but it was very comforting to have the quiet in that cave for a little while. Even back home at D's place again, I can still feel that cave just a little teeny bit. I know if I think about him often and hope hard enough, we can help him come back as his own person this time. I believe in you, E.
