- We need you to go and drop this dodgy ring down a volcano. Yes, we know it's miles away but it's not as if you're doing anything else and you can at least enjoy the countryside along the way.
- Look, it is a high honour to be picked to be the human sacrifice. What are you moaning about?
- What Dark Lord? Oh that Dark Lord? Oh didn't we tell you about him?
- The dwarves are getting tetchy. They're starting to throw axes around. Someone made a wise crack about their height. Didn't we tell you not to do that?
- What every witch needs is someone who could be target practice for the latest spells. Doing anything are you?
- Would anyone miss you if you don't go home?
- Hello, yes I am a talking wolf. Funnily enough I haven't had lunch. I'm not vegetarian. Why do you ask?

- It's okay, you can relax. There are no vampires here. There are werewolves, monsters, ogres and so on but no vampires. They'll be so glad to see you too. They don't get many visitors. (And none that come back for a second visit).

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
