What a creature did appear! It sounds like some kind of an octopus with several limbs on the body. I thought it would be another gnome creature, although the voice sounds very high pitched!

Oh, these guys are definitely a bit of trouble... ;) :) But quite entertaining! ;)
Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Very exciting, though slightly alarming! Those imps are quite pesky. But apparently their novelty outweighed their sting, because Nicholas seemed more delighted than upset by his encounter with the creature. And then, after all that, it was undone by a blueberry! Very creative and intriguing.

Comment from RShipp
'Its skin transitioned from that blue-green to purple and, finally, to bright red as the buzz of its wings increased to more of a whine. It looked like a little red chili pepper about to explode.' (I could easily picture this drone-Iike bug getting angry and ready to explode with fury. Hehehe!)

Comment from Lucy de Welles
Wow, imps in the drawer with the paper rolls and the rectangular box. Who doesn't immediately sit up at attention for paper rolls and rectangular boxes? I do!
So, Constantine has had dealings with these imps before ... I wonder how they treated George Thrasher? How will they test Nicholas?
Love the flying blueberries. The imps are colorful in appearance and characteristic's.
"funny vibrato flavor" just stands out in a bad way... doesn't sit right. I think that it's because "vibrato" is a noun and it's being used as an adjective here. Also the use of "flavor" for a sound seems weird. Just "funny vibrato" is enough...?
The use of a lot of "z's" is great, because "z's" are funny, and kids love to hear them.
"small wisp of aqua smoke" --- priceless!
The re-visiting of the aqua smoke is very effective.
exploding red chili peppers--yeah!
lengthy description of imp's physical appearance and actions--lovely.
Great job here! I"m hooked.

Great to have you hooked - I really do enjoy these little guys (all of them!!)... ;) ;) Look for some more adventures in a couple of weeks (trying to rein in these last 'hindrances' round here...). ;) Take care! Yvette

Those imps; I'm tellin' ya. It has been awhile since I read this so I skimmed the others and remembered the glowing drawer opening. Neat. Onward.

You've got to be imaginative to work with teens these days -- lol!! ;) Thanx for catching up -- we'll check in on Nicholas again just as soon as I catch my tail... LOL! :)
Comment from Ulla
Hi Yvette, so the story continues and seems like Nicholas has great fun, until Constantine intervenes. Now, I'm looking forward to what's next.
Also, congratulations on your win. Kind regards. Ulla xx

Comment from May 1
I love that we get to see his perspective on them, what he thinks they are not what they truly are. Those flying creatures sure sound interesting. Haha, oh no, I think he is getting himself in more trouble. I love the ending it makes me wonder what else could be coming.

Comment from w.j.debi
I was happy to see this chapter appear and wasn't disappointed. The new characters are interesting. Imps don't seem to get along with the other creatures in the gardens. I look forward to more.

LOL! So glad you enjoyed the imps... I plan on using them on and off cuz they were so fun!! ;) And thanx for keeping up with Nicholas and company ... Purposefully keeping each one to about 500 words on purpose, but it is so-o-o tempting to go longer!! ;) :) Have a Terrific Tuesday! ;) Yvette
Comment from Cindy Warren
What a fun read. I love it! It's creative and imaginative. At first I thought Archie and Constantine were cats. I can imagine mine chasing after the little flying alien.
