"We're not looking for a fountain or waters, ladies and gentlemen," Taryn said, clicking to the last slide in her presentation.

"We're looking for a cup."

Professor Taryn Langley studies myths and legends about the magic that can restore one's youth.

What does she discover?

When the thunder and lightning started, he set his camera to continuous shooting mode, in the hopes of catching a breath-taking shot of a lightning bolt. He did, but his camera caught a glimpse of something else as well. There appeared to be, in one particular shot, a ladder. A lean-to ladder that wasn't leaning on anything. It just stood on its own and it reached up into the rainclouds.

What happens when Charlie Sodona finds and climbs an invisible free-standing ladder that reaches up into the clouds?

The spoon was created by a mage who took the quintessence of creativity from the legendary bard, raconteur, and wit known as Glyfarien, at the moment of his death, and transferred it into a silver spoon. Glyfarien was said to have the proverbial silver tongue (some say the mage made the spoon from the bard's tongue, which is a more likely story, though such a thought is unsavory to most).

What happens when a storytelling pilgrim is given a set of magic spoons with unpredictable powers?

I'm no scientist, but I ended up learning a lot about blood when I was young. I have—or had—an inherited condition called thalassemia major. My medical charts have all the details. I don't need to go over it. Suffice it to say, I had a fairly serious version of the condition and had to get regular blood transfusions. And because the transfusions raised my iron levels, I had to get something called chelation therapy. And I had to worry about dying before my parents. And leaving my little sister, Gina, all by herself to deal with everything.

Along came Modern Blood.

How does a recipient of a remarkable new blood substitute both benefit and suffer from the wonders and horrors of the revolutionary treatment?

"Will a ring do? It's small enough. It won't be a hindrance."

"No," said the queen of the northern kingdom. "It must be something that won't fall off in battle." Her maidservant had brought a great many fine things into the chamber for consideration. Rings, diadems, collars. She did not know the queen's purpose and therefore could not judge what article would be best suited for that purpose.

Two royal brothers are linked by enchantment in a way that no other twins are.

How are they linked? And what will it mean for their kingdom?

"They were known as the Queens of Time," Gramps said. "There were three of them, one for each of the keys."

Ryne looked forward and up to where his grandfather pointed. On the wall was a small glass case and mounted inside were three ornate keys. They looked similar, though the designs were slightly different. Each key was made of metal with a polished oval stone set in the middle. One stone was red, like coral or jasper. Another was green like jade. And the third was black, like onyx or obsidian.

If time is eternal, then only those who are eternal can govern time.

Hear the tale of the Queens of Time in this episode of Storyfeather.

Genre: Mythology

Notable Detail: The character Ryne, who is a young boy in this story, makes his first appearance as an adult in an earlier Season Two episode called "The Rainheralds."

Dietrich stepped toward the tank and peered at the creature, the being, inside. Dietrich was told the being was most certainly male and he resembled a squid. A torpedo-shaped body sat atop a mass of waving arms and tentacles. He was twice the size of Dietrich. His eyes were bigger than Dietrich's hands. He was a vivid shade of indigo blue with streaks of violet and lavender and some green freckling under his eyes.

Agent Mars Dietrich has been asked to find proof in myth and legend of a planetary catastrophe, a catastrophe that humanity has been warned about by an extraordinary messenger.

Find out if he succeeds in this episode of Storyfeather.
