Meet The Fairy (Jackel)

Meet The Fairy
Whoo Hooo! It is time to meet another fairy from The McCory Chronicles ~ Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth.  This fairy tries to act mean and tough, but he is really as cuddly has a little ol' teddy bear. So now without further ado ~ Herrre's Jackel.


Shasta ~ Hi Jackel. It is so good to see you again. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview.

Jackel ~ It's good to see you too, Shasta. No problem at all. Now where is that warm knuckle cake you promised me?

Shasta ~ We will get to that in just a few minutes. It would be hard for you to answer my questions with your mouth full of food, but here is your milk, fresh from the cow, just as you requested.

Jackel ~ Humph, Okay. But there had better be some cake waiting for me after the interview or I will put a hex on this place. You know us, Brownies don't like people goin' back on their promises.

Shasta ~ Yes, Jackel. I am very well aware of that, but our mortal audience doesn't know anything about Brownies. We were hoping you could enlighten them with your vast knowledge.

Jackel~ Well, I have had a lot of experience. You learn more than you want to know about everything when you have lived over one thousand years. What do you want to know?

Shasta ~ All right. Here is your first question. How big is a Brownie?

Jackel ~ Ha! Ha! That is a good one. Most Brownies are small. They prefer it that way so they can go undetected when they are in a mortal's home. They don't want mortals to see 'em and start asking 'em to do more chores. Then you have my type of Brownie. We help the farmers out in the field with their crops. We can be any size we choose, like most fairies, but our average height is about four foot.

Shasta~ That is very interesting. Now can you tell us what kind of magic does a Brownie do, Jackel?

Jackel ~ We do so many things that is very hard to answer. We like to make things and keep things tidy. As Brownies we have the magical power to get things done in the blink of an eye. We can be very helpful if treated properly. Speaking of being treated properly, how about a piece of that cake you promised me?

Shasta ~ Just a bite, then I have another question for you. Here you go.

Jackel ~ Mmmm, That is so good! Let's get on to the next question so I can have it all.

Shasta ~ You can have it all when we have finished the interview. Remember, that is what we agreed on.

Jackel ~ Humph! Ask 'em then, while I drink my milk.

Shasta ~ If your magic is to help people, then why would anyone be afraid of you?

Jackel ~ Because, if we don't get our payment like for example cake, or are treated badly, then we become very angry and very dangerous. We have many hexes and tricks that we use on anyone or anything that pisses us off. I am not allowed to tell you exactly what they are. It is forbidden by the  Brownie vow. 

Shasta ~ One last question before we end. Can you give the mortals out there a description of yourself? 

Jackel ~ Why of course, if it will get me my cake. I am covered with matted brown fur. My eyes are narrow, yellow and slanted. I have arms that are as long as my legs, so I can grab ya quickly if I want to. I usually wear a pointed hat which covers my pointed ears and a long sleeved jacket with a belt.
My shoes vary with my work.

Shasta ~ Oh thank you Jackel! That was an excellent description. I'm sure all of the mortals out there in blog land can now picture you perfectly.

Jackel ~ Yes, I am quite accomplished in the art of description. Now, about that cake and I do hope you have more of that milk, warm from the cow, ready for me too.

Shasta ~ Tisk, tisk, Jackel. You have forgotten your manners. As soon as you say goodbye to our guests you can have all of the cake and milk you desire.

Jackel ~ Humph! Well then, Goodbye to all of you mortals out there. You should really just go read the book. You know the one that I star in, Katie McCory and the Dagger of Truth, and then I wouldn't have to explain everything to ya. I'm goin' to eat my cake now. Then take a little nap before I go home. So don't bother me anymore.

Shasta ~ Thank you Jackel. That was sooo much fun. If any of you has a question for Jackel please post it in the comments below, but you might want to leave some cake and milk with your question. browniescanbesotempermental.
