tell your tale ! :: A decorated tree? but he knew nothing about decorating trees! He knew more about the ocean and the beaches and the... wait! That was it! Grinning wide he found some driftwood, seaweed, and seashells and started to work on constructing. When he was done, a beach themed tree stood tall. "Ha! Still got it!"

tell your tale ! :: It was now officially the fourth day of Goomas, and the family was only just arriving to the celebration now. Truth be told, they had gotten so caught up in their preparations, decorations, and celebrations at home that they almost hadn't made it to the main event - celebrating with other goobies!

The adults had all gone off to their own separate booths. Butterfly was baking, Nahla was watching a series of competitions, and Anubis was preparing to help the little goos to differentiate themselves. But the three musketeers (as they liked to think of themselves) were all set to listen to some Goomas tales and stories! They could hardly contain their excitement as they barreled through the doors and into the sitting room, prepared to be awed with tales of all kinds!

Chaos was leading the way, as he was the toughest looking one and certainly the most prepared to defend any of them if they'd been stopped by any wild beasts out in the snow. You could never be certain there weren't werewolves out there, as Ursula would constantly remind them. She may be a witch, but she was always on the lookout for vampires, goblins, and all other manner of monsters. After all, if magic was real then ANYTHING could exist!

Anemone brought up the rear, dragging their long tail behind them and looking left and right, fretting a bit about how late they were. Anemone was the most sensitive of the group, even though they were also the eldest of the three.

Settling down to hear a Goomas tale, they heard with some alarm that actually the turtle doves had flown off, and what were there three of now? As Ursula and Anemone scanned the room, looking at different things and counting them, Chaos piped up, "Why there are three of us here, three young goobs who happen to be musketeers!"

Calamity Jason found himself rubbing a hand across his face as he first off tried to figure out what a turtle dove even was. Was it a bad omen that it had flown away? Should he be worried? He pondered asking his more superstitious friends, but figured he would get laughed at for even worrying it might be an issue.

He sighed out. Well, nothing that could be done for it now he supposed. But wait, what about the song? He holds up instead three of his most precious shells. Each one carried with it an adventurous story of how he had obtained it at all. "here you go! Seashells! Not the same as whatever a turtle dove is but it will do right?"

~ All of the turtle doves flew away, What do we have three of now? ~

Three. Three, three, three.
What did they have?
Three.
Hm.

"A lot of things come in trios. Clover leafs, strings of stars, birds. Blooming roses and dreams.
Lost keys and lost lives. Any object that would fit together, according to color or shape or material."
Veen said softly, closing her eyes, thinking about ways to answer.

She began speaking,
"There is a legend that claims theres beings with three lives.
Theres legends about such beings, ranging from creatures with three heads or three tails,nthree pairs of arms or wings and legs.
Legends of revival and death and sorrow and love.
Legends about letting go.
Letting go. Spreading wings and taking flight after you have been bound for days on end. Weeks, days, months.
Years.
There is a legend that claims that those whk wait get to return.
There is a legend that says whoeger crosses my path gets three wishes.
There is a legend that there is three rules.

There was once three goos who found a loophole."

She stared nervously, seeing how everyone else had simple answers, not made-up stories and lenghty words.
She sighed, deeming it worthless to speak.

"Although, if you want an actual current answer, im surenyiu could look around the room and find a lot of threes."
She turns to Look at Sugar and Tangerine.
"I suppose we'd count as three, but the children are asleep." She smiled fondly, before looking at the others.

"I also have some keys i can give, some tulips, too.

...Maybe it was not the time for legends, although im willing to tell my pointless stories to whoever wants them. Whoever asks."
