Traveling Thoughts

The final chapter in A Blogger’s Quest For A Digital Camera

As Blogger Court sat on Ogre Ted’s table trembling at what he would say in regards to her invading his territory, she had help she hadn’t known about standing outside plotting their entrance into Ogre Ted’s home.

Little did Blogger Court know that all along her quest, she had been followed by Britt, a brave elf; Karen, a sprite that glowed a shade of indigo; and their fearless leader Veronique, a druid that had nature on her side. Interested in seeing if Blogger Court could battle through what her mind pre-disposed her too they had followed her from the moment she picked up an application. Blogger Court’s adventure would take them places they had never been before. They would be stuck in a blizzard hiding in the far back of a cave where Blogger Court couldn’t detect them shivering because they couldn’t light a fire to warm themselves.

They would almost get stuck in a spider web because Blogger Court had gotten stuck with her words and was unable to develop a clear thought while she was atop the mountain in a beautiful forest. Had Blogger Court not had a run in with the spider while she was caught in the web they wouldn’t have known her destination, there was no telling what her mind was going to weave them into. The spider however had told Blogger Court her ultimate destination, just not how she was going to get there or what she’d run into along the way.

“You will travel far to get what you’re looking for, in the end, you’re looking for an Ogre named Ted. Your destiny is held by his decision. Whether you’re successful or not fully depends on him. Your journey won’t be done tonight because you don’t know when or where you’ll meet him, you can only speculate.�

One has to wonder if Blogger Court wasn’t devoured by the spider on behalf of the presence of Veronique and the respect that she had for animals as well as the respect animals had for her.

After a near meeting with death, where Blogger Court almost fell off a cliff, she finds herself crawling down a tunnel into the belly of the mountain she had previously climbed where she meets up with a fiery creature in which she barely escapes with her life. But then things get interesting, a sign points her to Ogre Ted’s home on a mound where he’s standing out in front.

She approaches him and he calls out to the fair maiden. He takes her into his home and sets her on the table, Britt, Karen, and Veronique didn’t make it into his house and are left outside to plot a plan on how to get into Ogre Ted’s home should something unfortunate begin to brew in his home.

Blogger Court sat there on the table after she had described to Ogre Ted the meaning of her appearance at his doorstep. She had no way to escape, there was only one door out of his home, there was a window but it was shut, she glanced at the fireplace where she was sure she could’ve shimmied up the fireplace…if there hadn’t been a fire burning in it…it truly came down to Ogre Ted decapitating and eating her for dinner or him granting her wish, giving her a camera, and then sending her back to the guild.

He had known at least one Blogger would show up at his home, he just wasn’t sure how they’d get there. Blogger Court had told him of her entire adventure on her A Blogger’s Quest For A Digital Camera and he was intrigued by it.

He pulled a chair up to the table and proceeded to sit down, put an elbow on the table, and rest his head in his hand. At this Blogger Court’s three guardian panicked and ran into the door which cracked it just enough that they could creep through. Ogre Ted glanced at the door and waved it off as the wind that had caused it to open. Britt, Karen, and Veronique walked over to the table where they hid behind the leg closet to the door where Ogre Ted couldn’t see them.

Blogger Court is staring into Ogre Ted’s big eyes wondering if this is going to be the end of her and that the last face she is ever going to look upon be his. Ogre Ted is staring at Blogger Court pondering what he’s going to do with her. He’s really not mean to enough to decapitate and eat her he thinks to himself, and she did overcome some difficult obstacles…

Just as he opens his mouth to speak, Britt, Karen, and Veronique climb over the edge of the table and yell “WAIT!!! DON’T EAT HER!!!” He glances their way and rolls his eyes. He couldn’t believe this, is this the reputation he has, ripping the heads off of adventures and eating them, where did he get that rep anyways he wonders to himself. He scoops them up in his right hand, lowers his left and asks for Blogger Court to step into it. He stands up and walks to his mantle where he puts all 4 adventures down.

Ogre Ted: “I wasn’t going to eat her”

Britt: “But your mouth was open”

Ogre Ted: “I kindof have to open my mouth to speak”

Karen: “What are you going to do with her then?”

Ogre Ted: “Well…”

Veronique: “Well what???”

Ogre Ted looks at Blogger Court, Blogger Court wrinkles her eyebrows and looks at him, Ogre Ted raises an eyebrow and magically, an HP Digital Photography Gear pack appears at Blogger Court’s feet.

*deep breathes from all 4 adventures*

Ogre Ted: She did well, she made it through the adventure her mind set before herself and made it here to me. Her reward is the HP Camera that she’s asked for, that she came for.

[and with that Blogger Court woke up on her bunk at the Blogger’s Guild, not knowing if she had been dreaming or if she had really gone and done all that she remembered. Was it a dream she ponders as she rubs the sleep from her eyes, at which point she sees the HP box sitting there in her knapsack. She had gone and conquered. And Ogre had spared her life and granted her wish. With that she hopped down from her bunk to go off on another adventure with her new HP camera.]
