Node013->Node013a Uh, huh. Node011->Node999 I will. Goodbye. Node009 Well, you sit by the mound and wait until you can see the fairy circle in the dew. If you jump into the fairy ring, you'll be made to dance until dawn with the wee folk. If you survive, they'll steal you away to the land of fairie. (heee, hah, hah, hah) Node008->Node009 What then?
