The journey was taking its toll on the travelers.  They had crossed land far and wide. "Maybe it's time we found a cavern to settle in for the night," suggested Marley. 

 

As they reached the top of the bluff ahead, they noticed a wind farm. Mills that blew in the wind, around and around and around they went. 

 

"This land seems to be populated! Who could need all this power? They must binge-watch 'This Old House', or 'Austin City Limits', " implied Zaily. 

 

As they trekked down the other side of the bluff, they spotted a Cone Head sitting on the bank of the bay, watching the dolphins jump. 

 

"This must be their land. Do you think they will take us in for the night?" wondered Marley.  

 

They approached the Cone Head with ease, just in case they were in a foul mood. Marley tapped it on the back of its cone and gave a clearing of the throat sound to get their attention. "Must be hard of hearing," she thought. 

​

As the Cone Head slowly turned its head to see what had meandered upon it, the traveling duo noticed the beautiful long brown locks that fell from her head. It was the most heavenly creature they had ever laid eyes on.

​

"Good day," stated the Cone Head.  "The voice told me I should expect travelers soon, and now you have arrived,"

​

"Who was this creature," thought Marley. "How did they know we were on our way? We didn't even know we were on our way." The creature was obviously very in touch with the spirit of the world.

​

"My name is Dalai," said the Cone Head. "Not Parton, but Llama," she informed.  "Come, I have tea waiting for you in the front den."

​

They enjoyed their evening tea and settled in for the night. Sleep was much needed, for in the morning they must set off on their way. 

​

As the sun peeked over the horizon, Dalai saw them off and wished them Peace, Love and Happiness for all the days to come.
