The fairy grabs you by the wrists and hoists you up. You scream in fright as you see the ground move too fast and too rapidly beneath your feet. If the fairy lets go of you, you'll fall splat on the ground! Yet the fairy zooms between the trees as if nothing was wrong and even giggling to herself, oblivious to your great fright.
"Where are we going?" you say in absolute terror.
"Oh, somewhere special," she laughs.
You have a bad feeling about this and can only stare at the ground, very much aware that you are naked, with your privates dangling in the breeze and for all to see. Then, the fairy zooms into a window and lets you drop, thankfully onto a pile of folded clothes and sheets. She greets someone, or rather several people who answer enthusiastically.
"I brought you a new friend!" she says in glee, then proceeding to tell them her story.
You get up in the meantime and look around you. You are in house that seems devoted to the making and keeping of puppets. There are puppets everywhere. Except in a room on the side, which holds old books, jars, and potions, as well as other strange things. But that is REALLY scary are the puppets. They're alive! They're moving! They're living puppets! And none look very nice!... There are clowns, monsters, fauns, satyrs and other strange creatures. None have strings but all certainly manage to move very well. They look at you with big nasty smiles. The fairy's main interlocutor is a man of normal height, dressed in working clothes, with short hair yet with tons of esoteric symbols tattooed upon his skin. A warlock for sure and the master of these horrid puppets.
"So you insult fairies?" sneered the warlock.
"I didn't know!" you shout in great fright."It was a mistake."
"Well, maybe. And you did free her from that damn jar, after all," the warlock answered.
"Yes. So can you please change me back?"
"Well you also insulted her a lot," argued the man.
The puppets laugh and jeer.
"I was angry! You'd be too if you were tiny!"
"What's wrong with being small?" snaps the puppet of a clown.
"He WAS rude to me, wasn't he?" says the fairy in an innocent tone.
All the horrible puppets clap and agree and cheer, creating a horrible ruckus. They taunt you mercilessly, calling you out on being naked, ugly and stupid. The warlock shushes them.
"Please be nice to your new friend. It isn't nice. I thought I taught you all better."
The puppets grumble but quiet down.
"Can you bring me fairy ingredients if I punish that puny human?" asks the warlock.
"For sure! Make him unhappy and make him stay here and I'll bring you loads of fairy dust," says the fairy.
"Done," simply says the warlock.
The fairy then sticks her tongue out at you cheekily and darts away by the window. Uh-oh... This is bad. What did she mean? You don't want to stay here! The puppets snigger and laugh at each other, darting looks full of malevolence. The wizard strides towards you, grabs you in spite of your begging, goes into his sort of lab room and drops you in a cage.
"Now then, what shall I do with you for the pleasure of my creations?" he says with an evil glint in his eyes.
