M<\/b>ost days in Fairyland everything is harmonious and as it should be. There are rare occasions however when things in the fairy realm can become rather upside down, when no matter how one looks at the world, things appear out of sorts and sideways. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

W<\/b>hen this happens, (which<\/em> is very rarely)<\/em> it’s no longer just another day in paradise. All of the residents of Fairyland must come together to restore balance.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>igh flying fairy folk are generally the first to notice when things become amiss. Members of Fairyland have a lot of patience and are very optimistic by nature,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

T<\/strong>heir first tactic is to go about their business while keeping their eyes and ears wide open waiting for things to sort themselves out.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he residents of Fairyland know from experience that under usual circumstances everything<\/em> settles down and the world becomes right again. Rarely has there been an occasion when their world becomes so out of balance that it doesn’t right side up of it’s own accord.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

H<\/b>owever, lately things in Fairyland have become a bit more upside down and very sideways, more so than the inhabitants have ever experienced or known before. Fairy Folk know that this is a time when special measures will be required to set things right. In order to correct this imbalance they will need to join all the different clans of fairy folk in the kingdom together and become a diversified unit of one.<\/p>\n

T<\/b>he inhabitants of Fairyland, (which includes, Sylphs, Sea Selkies, Goblins, Leprechauns,\u00a0 Fairies, Pixies and Trolls….to name just a few<\/em>.) trust in the wisdom of their leader, a wise Old Troll King who reigns from secret chambers hidden deep within the Earth.<\/p>\n

H<\/b>owever the most direct as well as most secretive and heavily guarded portal to Trolldom\u00a0 is hidden deep within the Enchanted Forest where only fairy folk and wildlings dwell. (and on rare occasions those humans most in tune with nature go) <\/em>This portal is beneath what appears to be a derelict Stone Bridge out of view. It is guarded by two large Trolls, one Cautious Coyote, a Boisterous Bear, a Heralding Hawk and a Curious Crow. The entrances to Trolldom are many and all are hidden from view.\u00a0 Seldom are these portals entered by those seeking Troll King’s council, as Fairyland is generally a most harmonious place.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>roll King has the knowledge and wisdom of his ancestors, he is open minded and a scholar up to date on the diverse citizenry of Fairyland, including Wildlings, all those scaled,\u00a0 furred and feathered, such as turkey, snake, frog, butterfly, coyote and deer folk to name just a few. As Seamstress to the Faires, I am invited to speak on behalf of my kind. Troll King’s wisdom combined with his ability to see into the future by learning from the past, reassures all the inhabitants of Fairyland when things become out of kilter.<\/p>\n
