The wind blew through Elly's crimson hair as she flew through the skies of Rhydin, perched upon her beautiful rainbow Pegasus, Peggy. Icky held onto Peggy's tail in a panic, doing his best not to fall down, since he did not want to go splat again. Elly's violet gaze scanned the lands beneath them, searching and evaluating. She simply had to find the perfect spot.
"Oh Peggy~ Land there~!" Elly's eyes twinkled with excitement as she pointed to a spot in the woods that bordered some mountains. The elegant Pegasus dived downwards, landing perfectly and gracefully. Icky unfortunately landed a bit too hard and cracked his head.
"Baa~!" The Pumpkin shook a clothy fist at Peggy before he reached up, and plucked his own head off, allowing a new, uncracked one to pop up in it's place. The old one was simply thrown some distance away and discarded. Peggy snorted and trotted off to munch on that head.
Elly hopped off Peggy and appraised her surroundings. "Hmm~" Her eyes narrowed in thought as she looked about. "What do you think Icky~?"
Icky's head turned 360 degrees, taking in every detail. His carved mouth formed a smile. "Bababoo~!" Clothy hands clapped together in excitement.
"I thought so too~!" Elly also clapped her hands together, her eyes closed as she laughed with glee and jumped up and down. "This is where I shall set up my atelier~!" Violet eyes open and narrow with purpose.
"Pumpkin Brigade, all squads, line up now~!"
At Elly's command, all 100 members of the Pumpkin Brigade appeared before her in a poof of orange smoke. All 100 members of the Pumpkin Brigade were pumpkin heads of course. All 100 were lined up neatly in rows of 10.
Elly folded her arms, violet eyes gazing upon her army. "This is where you shall set up my new atelier~ Our new home~!" She paused as the Brigade cheered with merry "Ba~"s and "Boo~"s. "I want it crafted like my old one~ My atelier shall lie here, and my gardens, courtyard and river shall surround it~" Elly smiled. "My atelier will lack no luxury~ The walls will shine with gold and the floors with shimmer with jade marble~!" She narrowed her eyes. "Just like my old one~!" She nodded, and began pacing back and forth. "You will all have to work hard~ I need some trees cleared out, grounds tilled for my gardens, and you will have to build my atelier and courtyard from the foundation up~!"
Elly stopped for a moment, and removed her hat. Various potions, seeds, and pouches were removed and passed out amongst the Brigade. "Now get to work~!"
The Pumpkin Brigade wasted no time in getting to work. It was quite a sight... boulders levitating, pumpkinheads digging through the dirt, burying seeds that would sprout within minutes. Some started to dig a trench for a river to run near, while others began to clear out trees and carried them away for wood. Even Icky was working hard, setting out a lawn chair for Elly, fetching her some sunglasses, and a glass of lemonade and ice with a cute pink straw and umbrella in it.
Pleased with the quick progress, Elly took a seat in her lawn chair and was joined by Peggy, who laid down beside her, watching the Brigade work in amusement. Elly laid back, sipped her lemonade, and watched the magic happen...
Icky had fan duty, and had to keep Elly and Peggy cooled off.
