Okay, let me think about this for a moment, how do I get back to the club. I can figure this out, after all I am male. Xander stood quietly for a moment thinking through his different options. I received an amulet from Mother Nature would that help me? No, that wouldn't work it is just for protection. Hmmmwhat else do I have available? Well I have magick, but it doesn't work in this area, so first I have to get out of this area. So what else do I have at my disposal that I could use? Suddenly Xander's thoughts were interrupted by a small voice, "What are you doing? Is it normal for humans to talk to themselves?"

Xander turned too quickly almost falling over his feet in surprise when he heard the voice talking to him. "Who are you," he demanded, staring in surprise at the small fairy sitting on a blade of grass next to him.

"I am the niece of Queen Laurel," the faerie replied haughtily. "Who are you?"

"I am Xander, I work for Father Time and his daughter Lexie."

"Ah, you are the one that broke the Ring."

Xander flushed in embarrassment. "Unfortunately yes, but I repaired it and even added a fence."

"Yes you did, but still you destroyed the sacred Ring. Even repaired it isn't the same, it will never be the same."

"Everything changes, some for the better."

"Why are you standing in this field? Don't you have some place to go?"

"I am trying to get someplace but I do not know how to get there."

"What, are you such a stupid human that you can't follow directions?"

"What are you talking about? I am not a stupid human and of course I can follow directions."

The small faerie rolled her eyes, "Let me make it simple for you, W h a t d i d Q u e e n L a u r e l g i v e y o u?"

Xander thought about it for a moment, "Oh the pendant!"

The faerie looked at him and sighed, "It took you long enough to figure it out."

"I would have figured it out on my own."

"Yes, maybe next year."

Xander narrowed his eyes at the little faerie, "How would you like an extra hand in flying away?"

Xander heard a tinkle of laughter as the faerie flitted out of his reach. "I do not need help, but thank you."

Xander sighed, "Couldn't you just go away? Now that you have helped me figure out what to use I have to figure out how to use it.

"No this is too much fun. I can use this around the campfire for the next hundred years."

Xander looked at her in disbelief, "You wouldn't?! What am I thinking, yes you would. Listen, I do not have much time, I have to get back to the clubhouse to talk to Father Time and get him back here
