AXCALIBUR HAS BEEN CLAIMED

Today the holler has a hero — well, maybe not the whole holler, maybe just Wyborn Youngblood. When Bijou Pascal uses Glacius on the stubborn, greedy tree, the cold spell sends it shrinking back with such force as to seem positively offended. Roots curl up like cooked octopus tentacles, releasing Mr. Youngblood’s axe and a beat up red toolbox.

As Mr. Youngblood promised, the contents of the toolbox are Bijou’s for the taking, but he gets his goddamned ax back. Here’s what she finds inside:
  • A shiny black stone shaped like a cicada’s shell

  • A level that screams whenever it’s not perfectly level. Somehow, it was perfectly level inside the box. May just want to throw this out.

  • A tape measure that reads distances aloud, but only in cubits. Uh. Useful.

  • A scrap of vellum paper with a spell incantation beginning with the words ‘wiþ ymbe...’ written on one side. On the other, Mr. Youngblood started to scrawl a shopping list. Hm. Not sure how that’ll affect the spell on this note.
In addition to these fabulous prizes, Mr. Youngblood has promised Bijou one (1) "favor." In practice, this specifically means Bijou gets one get out of kid jail free card. Congratulations, Bijou! You’ve saved Outdoor Magic class Wyborn Youngblood's sanity...well, an ax?
