Impy

Our mascot and wee friend, Impy. No one knows exactly how old this Imp is, plus you must surely know it’s extremely rude to ask an Imp his age!

There’s a world, a Realm, beyond ours. It’s not located on the same plain and it’s home to a collection of creatures and one is Impy.

So what do we know about this smol mischievous chappy? We believe that Impy is the last of his particular species. Once there were many of them found in a specific region of the Realm, but now they have sadly faded away and become forgotten.

Impy came to us one night. It was dark and foggy, and the rain was steady. We had sat down to a hot cup of tea at the end of the working day, when we heard a noise. At first we could not locate it’s source, but after a few repetitions, our eyes and ears were drawn to a small dusty window in the corner of the workshop. A small furry face with large white eyes sat looking at us. The poor creature looked cold and extremely damp. We opened the window and in slowly climbed the Imp. He was shivering something rotten so we wrapped the smallest blanket we could find around him. Tech Imp made him a hot cup of tea while I found some chocolate chip cookies. We placed him on a comfy old chair in front of a small fireplace in the workshop. We didn’t know what to make of this strange fellow. He sat silenty drinking and carefully eating, and then curled up and fell asleep.

In the morning he was still there. After some time wondering how we would communicate with him, we handed him some paper and a pen. The creature wrote his name down as Impy. He stated that he had gotten a bit lost between traversing the fae realms and his and ended up in ours. That it would take some time for him to recover the energy needed to travel back to his, and cold he stay a while.

So Impy stayed with us for a few days. Upon feeling fitter and his energy returned, so did Impy to his own realm. However, a few weeks later, a small Imp was sat waiting for us in the workshop complete with three hot mugs of tea. Impy asked if he could stay a while and help us craft and create…..and so he did.

From time to time Impy returns to visit his friends back in the Realm, as well as having adventures in ours.
