My friends and I are almost ready. We leave at sunset for the faerie village. Today we must train a bit more, but we are already competent enough with most of our new skills.
We met a faerie today. His name was Miracle, and it was quite interesting to converse with a real sprite. Miracle explained to us that all beautiful words in the tongues of Humans and Elves such as ourselves were inspired by the words and names of faeries. I suppose that speaking with Miracle served as our “final test”, or something of that nature. Miracle taught us what dangers to be wary of in the Forests of Twilight, the sacred realm of the faeries in this region. Many bizarre, fascinating, and dangerous creatures stalk the woods at night, such as goblins, redcaps, pookas, and others. But if one stays out of sight and sound, they should remain safe. Miracle has encountered each of these creatures at one time or another, and he says that if we don’t draw attention to ourselves, we will be just fine.
Miracle also gave us faerie aliases so that we won’t stand out too much in Candelabra, the kingdom in which we will make our home in the time to come. I am to be called Evergreen, and my companions have similar words as names. Our story is to be that our small faerie village was attacked and defeated by wasps, and we are relocating to Candelabra to begin new lives. It seems like a fair(y) story to me!
