Rebekah: Hello again readers. Today I've brought back the flower fairy, Lilac, to answer a couple questions our readers had after her interview (see Lilac's Interview several posts down).
Wren asked: Lilac, other than being a messenger, don't you find that life as a fairy gets REALLY boring? Or, do fairies not get bored? Or, are your fairy parties just that much fun?
Lilac: Oh no! Life as a fairy is far from boring and it's not just because our parties are fun. The Lord of Light trusts us to keep the plants, animals and waterways in order. Our work brings about things as basic as the changing of the seasons. Maybe that sounds boring to you as a human but I'm always excited when a touch of my hand can turn leaves beautiful colors in fall, restore a wilted leaf or cause new growth. Sometimes even the little things can be exciting. As a fairy you feel yourself change with the seasons as well. Besides, my work brings beauty and life to the world. That makes everything we do worth the trouble.
Colette asked: Are all pixies like Reuben, or are some a little helpful?
Lilac: Well, of course some pixies are helpful. Even Reuben has his helpful moments. It's just that pixies in general tend to act like a bunch of naughty little kids! It seems like their favorite thing to do is make trouble.
Rebekah: Thanks for the questions readers! If you have anything to add or would like to ask Lilac any other questions please leave them in the comments.

Fedrick & Felnar answer your questions
This post is a response to Fedrick & Felnar's Interview from a couple months ago.
All right, everyone. Today I've brought back the goblin boy, Fedrick and the troll girl Felnar, to answer a few questions from our readers.
Colette asked: Why do you guys hate fairies so much? I think your friend Bardmaid has a different idea about them! Also, do trolls and goblins live together?
Fedrick: I'll take the first question. We hate fairies because they're stupid little trouble makers! They always find a way to ruin everything we do! Also they have these spells to keep us out of their forest, which happens to be one of the best hunting grounds on Irowasa. As if that's not enough, you can't even eat them or you get major food poisoning. They're just useless little...
Rebekah: Okay Fedrick, we get the idea! You're right though, Colette, I do have a different idea about them.
Fedrick: You probably think they're cute! That shows how much you really know about them!
Felnar: The little ones are cute!
Fedrick: Until they turn you to stone, kill you, or destroy your cave.
Rebekah: Let's move on to Colette's second question. I'll take this one. Not all goblins and trolls live together but some do. The underground city which is one of the major settings in Quests is home to both goblins and trolls. That's where Fedrick and Felnar live.
A friend on facebook asked: Question for Rebekah: how can you bear to have those two IN YOUR ROOM??
Rebekah: Well, whether I like it or not my characters are in the habit of slipping into my room at unusual times like 3 AM to tell me something important they think should go in the story. As annoying as it sometimes gets, if I kept them out my stories wouldn't be very interesting.
Fedrick: You're just another one of those clueless people who think fairies are cute little innocent things! What if she got a pet fairy who decided to blast a hole in her roof and let some sunlight in? Maybe you don't know that sunlight turns trolls to stone.
Question for Felnar: don't you think catching a fairy would be a very hard thing to do, especially since they live aboveground?
Felnar: I never thought about that. Maybe if I got the right fairy catching gear and snuck up to their house in the night when they were sleeping I could get one.
Fedrick: I just know she's somehow going to end up with a pet fairy. Just remember Felnar, any consequences are your own fault and don't say I didn't warn you.
Felnar: You're such a spoil-sport Fedrick. You probably still think I should just get a pet bat! Everyone in the city has pet bats!
Fedrick: Yeah, and no one has fairies. Don't you think there might be a good reason for that?
Rebekah: No fighting or I'll let in some sunlight and turn on all the lights! Well fans, I hope that answers your questions. Our next guest will be a... er... well, another friend of mine.

Beritta Answers Your Questions
We had a couple people leave questions for Beritta a few weeks ago. Today Beritta has returned to answer these questions.
J-dawg asked:
How is playing pranks on people putting your talent to good use?
Beritta's Answer:
I just play pranks to pass the time. Most the time the elders have my friends and I running errands so we don't really use many of our abilities. I create pranks which help me practice old tricks and keep my senses sharp by thinking of new things to do with my talents.
Wren asked:
Beritta, have you ever thought of secretly disobeying the elders and doing good things with your talents? Starting some sort of young elf secret organization that's rebelling against the elders?
Beritta's Answer:
Well of course I've thought of it! I can see you've never trained under the elders or you wouldn't bother asking that! In their classes the elders push you so hard to learn all the basics and find your abilities. Then you get to what they call 'a higher level of training' and they have you doing nothing but errands for months. After a while every elf begins to wonder what the point is and why we ever listened to them in the first place. Some of us just do more about it than others.
Thanks for the questions readers! Feel free to continue this discussion in the comments box.
If you have other questions for Beritta please continue leaving them in the comments boxes of this post or the "Meet Beritta" post.
