Note XIV

Suddenly, pixies burst from the branches. It looked like a race, or a relay. I couldn’t be sure. They were gone in a flash, fast as sparks.

Note XIV

I once stumbled upon the little thief, gleefully toying with his stolen treasure. “How amusing it is,” he cackled, “watching those wicked giants scramble about in panic for these shiny metal discs… They must be incredibly valuable…”!

Note XIII

Larger fairies and ogres use the forgotten objects in the woods. It's hard to find anything of his size, but they take advantage of it anyway.

Note XII

I found a curious pixie playing with a broken glasses in the woods. He studied them carefully, but I don’t think he understood their purpose.

Note XI

I could only see it from afar, across the river. A graceful, leaping figure draped in what looked like a living cloak of grass and moss. As it moved, the cloak drew in bottles, plastic wrappers, and cans, as if magnetized.

Note X

I was not surprised to discover that there are fairies aboard birds in charge of picking up the cigarette stubs thrown in the woods. I wish these fleets didn't have to exist.

Note IX

A man emerged silently from the trees. Although an adult, I thought he might have been a child abducted by the fairies. He didn't speak, just passed by with a sorrowful expression, as if carrying the weight of a life that was not his own.

Note VIII

One day, I ventured too deep into the forest and was confronted by a tribe of sprites. They threatened me and urged me to turn back. Their tools and artifacts were clearly fashioned from discarded items scavenged from the nearby picnic and camping areas.

Note VII

It would be logical to think that his tribe had seen how the "evil giants" used their weapons to hunt. They had also found the remains of their destructive power and carried them to obtain their strength or as a symbol of resistance to them.

Note VI

She appeared suddenly, emerging from the undergrowth. For a brief moment, we locked eyes, silent, still. Then I blinked… and she was gone.
But I’m sure of what I saw: she was wearing headphones, shaped like a morning star.

Note V

The elf must have mistaken that creature for one of the village children. Its shape was similar enough at a glance. But its skin… it wasn’t flesh. Cold. Unnatural. And it wasn’t breathing.

What would’ve happened if I hadn’t gotten so close?

Note III

When I gave him my pen, he was surprised. Because it was transparent as ice, but it was not cold. He left cheerfully into the bushes.

Note II

These little hairy goblins are curious by nature (like all fairies). And they are very interested in the objects left by the "evil giants". I found one of these goblins with a broken bulb discarded in the woods, and when he saw me, he quickly fled. I wonder if he discovered that it was not edible.

Note I

This fellow's name was Aigretch. It was found next to a poplar near a river full of debris.

It seemed that he was picking them up to make his clothes and armor.
