Welcome back, loyal listeners.

In our last episode: Our heroes chased a glowing eagle down the Grand River in a canoe, which led them over a mysterious waterfall.  Steve awoke on a beach and met O’Jec, a talking squirrel. After Uncle Shameless woke up, the pair realized they were on the beach of a vast, blue sea and no longer on the Grand River.  Our heroes started walking through a forest of very tall, very spooky trees until they came to a clearing filled with crumbling ruins.  Steve and Uncle Shameless fell asleep within the ruins, and Steve began to dream, which brings us to…

Today’s episode: Steve has a strange dream about an attack on a castle, and wakes up to an even stranger sight: two moons shining in the night sky. As Steve and Uncle Shameless try to determine where they are, they are visited by a bird-man who (much to Steve’s annoyance) ladles out plenty of exposition.

Welcome back, loyal listeners.

In our last episode: Our heroes take off on their canoe trip, where they see all kinds of interesting things on the Grand River. They see turtles, swans and ducks.  Sadly, most of the trip is spoiled for Steve by Uncle Shameless’ off-key singing and bad jokes. Just when Steve can’t take any more nonsense, the pair come across an eerie sight on the river.

Today’s episode: In our third adventure, our heroes encounter an interesting animal on the Grand River and decide to give chase, much to Steve’s protest.  The chase leads our heroes into a tight spot–and to whereabouts unknown.  After the chase, Steve makes an unusual acquaintance.

Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (5.24.09): Steve awakes from a bizarre dream to see an even more bizarre sight: two moons shining overhead.  Uncle Shameless is certain they are no longer in Michigan but Steve, always the skeptic, has his doubts.
