Book excerpt: "I'm a nymph and you're a fairy. I protect the water, you protect the forest. But without water, the forest dies." Flavia is a happy fairy who fulfils her duties as protector of the forest. Her only friend is the nymph Phyllis, whom Flavia remembers from her apprenticeship. However, the nymph drinks a lot of dwarven liquor, which makes her more and more of a burden to Flavia. So Flavia increasingly begins to despise and avoid the nymph. But then a terrible accident happens and Flavia finds herself in a situation in which she has to call on her friend for help. But how much willingness to help can be expected from a neglected and despised friend?
