Chapter One

Their task done, the Fey were leaving the human realm and returning to their own dimension, shrieking in excitement and delight.

Had any humans been there to hear them in the forest, the voices would have sounded like the chirrup of demented grasshoppers.

Yes, yes, he is fading even faster now under our power! All is becoming greyer and less interesting to him!

Good. Be warned, you mischievous Fey; great care is needed to bring this human into our realm and turn him into one of us. If a single mistake is made, we could lose this human forever.

That would be a good thing, too, bellowed another voice. "Turning a human into a fairy is always a risk. It is against the natural way of doing things. Their power can be too
