Now you got me wondering, what was inside...it was bright? A gem or crystal glittering. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Probably another gnome that's brightly colored?

Young Nicholas really seems to have the magic touch for gaining access into this magic world, only he has to learn how to control his powers. I figured out that "Ana" was some kind of god or goddess in this magical world, before I read your Notes, and it turns out that I guessed right.
The good-natured quarreling between Constantine and Sir Archie is really rather endearing. They seem to have known one another for quite awhile. I'm looking forward to learning more about this file cabinet that lit up!
And it looks like I might have another week to use your promotion to finish your chapters! What a generous promotion.

    Yes, I did see the date, and I was delighted that I had more time to read this whimsical story while it's still being promoted. Thank you!

' But Archie cut me off with an insistent snapping of his fingers, an amazing feat with those claws. The action reminded me of my mom when she was on the phone and wanted us quiet.' (What a great detail in the story!)

I knew it! I knew the cabinet was magic! All sorts of interesting things going on in there. Opening to another world perhaps. A portal, a resource, an inventory, helpers, inventions. Lots of adventure there! The creatures seem to be excited about the cabinet and have respect for it.
It's interesting that the creatures needed a human to be in the mix for the cabinet to work for them ;)
Well done! I'm hooked.
Lucy

Another excellent chapter. No errors that I saw. I definately think this will hold the attention of a pre-teen. This is the kind of stuff they thrive on.

Yvette,
Thanks for the notes about Ana. Had never heard of her before. This was a good chapter. Brought the team together. Gave them their common goal and again solidified Nicholas as the REAL groundskeeper.
On to Chap 6...can't wait,
Beth

Your ending reminds me of a line in 2001 A Space Oddesy, "MY God it's full of stars" () What will Nicholas's light be? () I knew of Dana and Danu this is my first with Ana. Whichever the name I am sure she will favor Nicholas and his endeavors. Since the setting is Ireland I am tempted to use a 'u' in favor and endeavor.

Well, Yvette, your garden is growing, great is this garden where stories are told, with magic swaying in the background, for Ana our mother smiles at her children. ;) :) I've read them all and I like them. Still I'm missing Margarita. :(

    Thanx for keeping up with Nicholas and his adventures, Jose... hopefully things will stay 'even' so that I can keep up with the chapters each month - teaching is certainly 'unpredictable' sometimes! ;) :) That cabinet holds all sorts of possibilities.... :) :) Yvette
