The Craigs

More from the fairy and his family.

Barmen learned to avoid the scarey dame in the mask.

And she continued to try to cast, but even fairies have some defences.

Dewayne grew into a child with the Insane trait, kind of fitting as his father had been Zombie Jezzer.

She worked. She worked very hard and very long hours. She grew so angry that even the ground annoyed her.

"You make my feet hurt!"

"Mmmm ground hard, rails bony. Sleeep."

"No not sleep here. Up! Home!"

"Broom. Home. Sleep."

But was incredibly hungry when she woke up.

Then he went on to the Alchemy store and bought a Fountain of Youth Elixir! WOOO.
