Lady Jenniviere

Lady Jenniviere was like any other girl, until one day while tending her rose garden; she came upon an injured bird—a cedar wax wing with a broken wing. Speaking quietly to reassure the frightened creature, Lady Jenniviere wrapped him in the folds of her gown and carried the little bird inside where, using tape and popsicle sticks, she set his broken wing. The bird was immediately grateful and thanked her for her kindness. He said his name was Nelson and asked if she'd mind if he hung around her palace while he recovered. Lady Jenniviere was delighted and the two became fast friends. Nelson enjoyed stories and asked Lady Jenniviere to read to him in her spare time. In the evenings, Lady Jenniviere sat in front of the fireplace with an old book in hand while her husband Lord Mark of Tanglewood, their three dogs Zoie, Mazi and Jordan, their parrot Story and Nelson gathered around to listen. On special occasions, Lady Jenniviere made up tales of epic heroes, spooky villains and mystical lands. These stories were Nelson's favorite. When his wing healed, he took Lady Jenniviere on a faraway hike up a tall mountain to a secret cave no human had ever seen. Inside the cave, he showed her a magic ink well hidden away for centuries. He gave her the ink well as a gift for her kindness and hospitality. When they returned to the castle, Nelson pulled out a tail feather and instructed her to dip the quill into the ancient ink well. Amazingly, a story sprang to life and began writing itself upon the blank papers on her antique desk. Lady Jenniviere loved the story and thanked Nelson for his gift before he flew back to the forest on two healthy wings.

Soon, other birds heard of Lady Jenniviere's magic ink-well and brought her their tail feathers. Every quill revealed a different story--some scary, some happy and some just plain strange. Eventually, Lady Jenniviere had enough stories to begin sharing them with her friends. Books were bound and soon people everywhere were reading the tales of Lady Jenniviere's Quill.
