Because I just heard that there's a new security system in place here, one that does horrible things to people that try to take things without permission. Even thinking about taking things can trigger it."

> Turn to Ellen while pointing at the fairy.
> "You wanna show her?"

>Ellen nods, and begins her spell again.
>"Huh?" says the faerie, "But I'm not even-"
>The spell takes effect, and the faerie suddenly sprouts a fluffy beard about as long as she is tall. She jumps in surprise, and nearly falls off the roof before catching herself. "I...I've become a sage!" she cries. "I was enlightened just thinking about it!"
>She pauses, stands as tall as a two-foot high faerie can, and calmly says, "I must go." Then she takes to the air and flies southward, squealing in delight.

>You head back inside, and find that Nazrin has taken to dusting the shelves. You also note that she is looking over her shoulder toward Sokrates. At the moment, Sokrates seems to be watching a mouse peeking around the edge of a shelf, wearing his usual expression of bewildered placidity.
>"Did you get rid of the faerie?" says Nazrin.

>"Don't worry, I'll handle telling 'em," says Nazrin as you leave.
>You make your way out, and head westward toward the stream, then continue further west. The stream is broad and flat, and flows slowly but steadily toward the east. Trails tend to run along the banks, while other parts have the winter remains of fairly heavy vegetation. The snow is becoming more and more sparse, you notice, just a few isolated patches in the shade of the trees. Glancing north and south every so often, you see the forest here is a little less thick than it was to the east. It doesn't take long before you find a large patch bare by the edge of the stream, where a large rock clearly rested. From there, you can see a periodic dent in the dirt, leading westward.
