Description

In a hidden hollow at the foot of the ancient Crow Nest Mountain, a secret gathering of fairies is about to begin. The glade is a riot of violet blossoms, humming brook, and glowing insects, all bathed in a soft moonlight that seems to pulse with magic. When a silver bell tolls twelve times, the air fills with tiny, unseen voices urging the fairy folk to hurry to a mortal whose breath is fading.

From sprightly fairy knights on wasp‑stung chargers to venerable elders riding tiny mice and caterpillars, the procession swirls through the night, led by a luminous Fairy Queen in a leaf‑woven carriage pulled by painted butterflies. Their delicate mission—to weave comforting dreams and gentle balm for the suffering human—sets the tone for a tale of compassion and wonder.

Listeners will be drawn into this enchanting world, feeling the rustle of leaves, the twinkle of glow‑worms, and the tender urgency of a fairy court determined to protect a fragile life.
