Elwar Forell spends his evenings in bustling cafés, polishing a collection of fairy‑tale stories that have become best‑sellers. To the casual reader they are whimsical adventures, but Forell knows each narrative is a carefully layered code, a way to slip concealed information into the public sphere. His method, taught by a mysterious mentor, is to hide truth behind imagination, never stating facts outright.

The conversation with his old friend, the critic Charo Andorra, reveals the growing risk of that hidden agenda. Andorra senses a pattern in Forell’s tales that hints at something far beyond ordinary myth—perhaps even contact with superior beings. As the two men debate the purpose of the stories, the possibility of an inevitable confrontation with those who might uncover the secret looms, promising consequences that could ripple through generations.
