And who is T.E.D.O.?

Tylean sounds gaelic so am wondering if you three fellas aren't up against The Eternal Druid Order?

.....just a bit of a hunch to wish y'all luck as whoever they are they sound daunting enough.

 		That sounds right, amandel, especially since most druid knowledge was passed orally and in rhyme to assure its correctness in transmission. Kudos to you for making the connection.

Just got email from Rabbit Black in response to my blog comment:
Quote:
Why thank you for being keen, dear child
Alas, the laws must be fulfilled, or life would then be wild.
I must allow the three to gather the remainder of the class.
Together you will learn to bring the Prophecy to pass.


So looks like the three will decide on who should be in the class of apprentices. *bats eyelashes and flings hair in the direction of the three*

 		This part of the comment from TEDO seems to point to "them" not being human:

Quote:
...with each century that passes, we grow from the growth of man...

 		The Eternal Dreuid Order sounds cool Smile

I informed Abie about our news and she answered:

Quote:
You must now unite.
Let him know you worked in harmony to find him. It is the only way. It is the way we did it.

Yes I was once his apprentice, almost two centuries ago...but the last apprentices were the ones that were killed.
I was only...lost for a time...

As for TEDO, I hope he knows what he is doing. They want what he wants, what I want, and what you should want, but don't know how to want.
It all comes back to the Book.

That is all I can say for now...Tylean will train you all, but he will need you three to gather apprentices for him.

Abie the Time


It does mean, Abie is not the supposedly killed apprentice. Or is she? (Btw is Abie he or she?)

So we three should gather a group of apprentices. Let's rock people, even if I don't know in which direction right now Smile

The druids believed in transmigration of the soul and reincarnation, which may account for that statement. The rhyming of the messages makes me think amandel was on target with that.

 		Your interpretation sounds more fitting for this, Tres.

Also, I got an email back from Black Rabbit when I basically asked who/what TEDO is, and got this:
Quote:
Polite and yet direct you are,
Yet from the point you are quite far.
All will be told, when the time's ripe,
If things are slow, with the three is your gripe.


I will soon go for my evening meditation;
When I finish I hope to start our exploration.
Then will I teach you the things you're to know,
For the fight is now coming, on whose side will you go?


Also, @kosmopol, everything I've looked at online for the name of Abie says it is a girl's name, yet it means "father of a nation."

 		Well, it's just a hunch but, yaha, the rhymes are its keystone...

 		OK, now since I'm kinda inspired, I wrote to Rabbit a question, what shall we actually do, and know.

In rhymes, perhaps it will help us Smile

Quote:
We three are ready to re-act,
To lead the group ahead.
We need for our couragious act
Free mind and clever head.

What shall we say to friendly crowds,
Who want to help us all?
What is this Book? Who is TEDO?
And where to start at all?


I know, I know, my poetic English sucks Very Happy

 		Nice poem, kosmopol.

I have sent the same message to the Old Man. Now Psysop should do the same.

 		WOW!!! Great job everyone! I'll be along and helping of course.
It's weird that this is (or could be) involving the Druids, when I read Abie's email yesterday I started researching Morrigan to see if she had ever been referred to as Zrukdorsh?! Laughing

 		Does Tylean want a list of names of "apprentices," with an identical list emailed from all of the Three?

Sign me up Wink

Also, aprendiz is "apprentice" in Spanish, although it is very close to "understand/learn" in several latin-based languages.

 		Wow, A lot happened since I went to sleep... Obviously we can dispense the Watership Down stuff now, but before that was clear and after I sent him my email, I sent him one more, just to press the issue, got a lengthy response, I feel like it's no longer relevant, but there may be something there so here it is.

Quote:


Perhaps my previous words were not quite clear.
You trifle with me, when there's so much to fear?

But, nay, perhaps you mean this well.
I have seen where you and other dwell.

Perhaps it is a place where you can safely gather.
You want spoon-feeding but I am not your father.

Yet you are young and the last seems to be away,
So I must assist you to ensure you go not astray.

The last is known to you, but may be a sceptico.
His name is as deceptive, as he is also clever.
He could live in Australia or even New Mexico.
But in the Heimatland his soul will remain forever.



Probably just refers to AUZ. Interesting stuff, and sadly I've gotta run out for the rest of the day, wish I could be more involved until tonight, but I can't.

On that wordpress blog are instructions to leave your name and email, I hope that's sort of a blanket recruitment, because that's what I did... although in very bad rhyme. Maybe the rest need to do that as well?

Just 'cause nobody mentioned it..

Caps on this reply spell "WAIT".
