I think it was the jester. It always is. I don't see why people/faeries mistreat them so much.

...they do have a jester, right?

The twist was awesome. I loved it.

Who indeed? Good story, the ending ties it all together.

Who indeed, is right! Love the little twist.

dang.

Hm. This is pretty interesting. There are some flaws in it, but it would make for an interesting start to a story. There aren't enough fantasy mysteries out there, and this looks like it would be quite promising. Maybe you should consider working on it some more?
