"Well then, Believer, we must take you to see the Faerie Queen Titania straight away! The Faerie Queen is the one who will bestow upon you the magic wisdom."
"How do we find the Queen?"
You ask. But the faeries all seem to be distracted, as though they were in a trance. The one with whom you were talking suddenly looks at you and grins.
"You shall find out soon enough."
she replies, and suddenly all the faeries hurridly whisk away.
You feel lost and alone, until you hear the voice. Turning around, you see a faerie approach and speak to you, in his wild, musical voice.
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows;
Quite overcanopied with lush woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in..."
He looks at you and grins.
"Shall we go see my Queen Titania, wise believer?"
You nod your head, speechless. He grabs your hand and speaks.
"Well, lets be off!"
And away you fly...
