Ooh what fun! Does Amylan die? Can fae die in your faerie world? Or does he end up having adventures of his own (nasty bully though he is!)? I'd love to know!

The faeries can die, but it would be very exceptional, especially for the great ones. Amylan wouldn't die, but he would be pretty stinky and maybe a bit sore after being hit by the truck and knocked into the pit, and if we assume he went digging for his goggles, by the time he flew out, Thorn and the others would be long gone. What might happen to them when he finally catches up to them, though, is another story. :)

Haha! Let’s hope he never catches up with them then. A stinky Amylan sounds highly avoidable! In more ways than one!

What's fun about these little stories is that I have birthed new characters who might well show up again in a future story. So you just never know!

Yes, absolutely! Well, I shall look out for Thorn and Amylan! Have you read Susannah Clarke's 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'? I love the faerie world she has created.

I haven’t. I didn’t know it was about faerie!

I think you'd enjoy it. But be warned, it's pretty dark at times.
