The Lore of ZooKazoo -- Day 12

Soulja Girl. Please read today's chapter and let me know if I got "Daywalker" about right. I added somethings to your character and there will be more on Day 13. Daywalker is really going to add a lot to the story. Thanks again! And now, the coming of Daywalker -- Day 12 . . . 

"Did we enjoy the breadfruit? Sure it was the best I ever ate." They all said just about the same thing at the same time.

Growler's mischievous smile only got wider. "Well, then, we should say thanks to whomever brought it."

They looked from one to the other and Seeds spoke up first: "None of us brought it, did you?"

"No. But don't worry about it. Gee, have another piece." The woven-leaf tray, again loaded with fruit, appeared to float up from the ground and passed among Seeds, Pricilla, and the Princess. This time, they focused on the strange sight and each took a giant step back from the basket as it hung in the air. "Uh, no thank you," they said again in chorus.

Pricilla was first to catch on. "Growler, you said a new member of our party had just arrived," as she looked all around the meadow. "Does that levitating basket have something to do with the new member of our group?"

"Judging by where the basket is hanging in the air, I'd say or latest arrival is standing about three feet in front of you." Growler was enjoying the looks on his friends' faces -- confusion, surprise, disbelief. They'd look first at the basket then at him and then back at the basket. "Too much fun," he thought.

"Friends, I would like you to meet and welcome Daywalker. Daywalker will take some getting use to, but believe me, in the end you will be very happy Daywalker joined us. In fact, it was Daywalker who brought us all together. I'm not even sure if Daywalker is a he or a she. You can't talk directly to him -- or her. You can't see him or her, unless in a dream. And if you do see Daywalker in a dream, he or she will appear differently to everyone, never the same, always a person or animal that is special to the person who is dreaming.

The group began to relax and were now simply curious. Could they believe Growler? This was his most preposterous story yet. "In my dreams," Growler continued, "Daywalker joins me as the most beautiful lady tiger I have ever seen." He began to purr, then stopped, looking a bit embarrassed. Was Growler blushing?

"Daywalker is beyond language. She will always hear and understand us, but you will only hear her or him in your dreams. But she has promised to always stay with us, watching, guarding, feeding us when we're hungry, healing us if we are injured, and adding to our strength at the most important times."

"Daywalker was old when I was just a cub. Where she comes from, or exactly what or who she is, I've never known. I just know that when she is with me, I feel calm, and safe, and never alone. I can see that you are all still troubled and not quite believing me."

----There is more to come about Daywalker on Day 13!
