The Growing Old Trend in Grendels and Norns
Written onAchren had already adjusted to her gray appearance, yet she had to stifle a chuckle when Ellidyr seemed dumbfounded by his transformation! He held a carrot close, and hoped that its bright green top might fool everyone… Nothing could hide that gray hair, though! One guess as to what happened between these two after they met. Egg number fourteen. FOURTEEN! I don’t think it was ever possible to separate them!
If Ellidyr thought he had to worry about strange looks from his old age, his transformation was nothing compared to Gwydion’s! His Purple Mountain Norn head and arms shrunk, while the rest of him remained the same size. He ran away, virtually screaming! It was rather early for him to lose his youthful appearance at around seven hours old, but the rest of the Norns enjoyed the comic relief. Gwydion had to endure a very small, bald head…
Ahaha! These are some priceless moments indeed. I think everyone has those days, you know, the ones where you want to hide behind a carrot and run away screaming after you look in the mirror. :D Thanks for such an enlightening post. I’m still reading along… ^_^
Thanks, SpringRain! Luckily, everyone settled into their new life stages eventually… But you’re right: There are definitely days when everyone wants to run away from the mirror! Ha ha!
