>Dreamy was particularly loyal, close to the point of fanaticism, as some faeries get. You are not surprised to that one of the first things that she mentioned was getting lost from whatever was left of the mansion.

>You follow her as she flies over the tangled undergrowth and deeper into the forest, having to take flight to keep up. You don't really have time to keep track of any details, but you see a lot of vines along the way, creeping up the trees, and pass through a small hollow filled with various mushrooms. Then the forest grows less tangled, you see more paths moving between the trees.
>'It's there," Dreamy says, as she comes to a sudden stop and points ahead toward a dense cluster of bushes. It takes you a minute to see the larger hole that lies among them.

This hole is pitch black and the creature allegedly inside it is fearsome. I refuse to go down there without a light source unless there's an extremely good reason to do so.
