Fragment six led us on an exhaustive journey through Bernard Sleigh’s Map of Fairyland. As Deidre continued to study her father’s journal, bits and fragments of information revealed themselves to her. Not knowing what to make of these she posted them to her blog. Some were obscure numbers, some were descriptions, and even a drawing of a friendly man pointing revealed themselves.
The mountaineers quickly reasoned these were hints to locations in Fairyland. Over the course of many weeks we poured through world myths, maps, legends, russian folklore, and even the fairy tales we were told as children for insight. One by one obscure clues were tied to spots on the map. As we identified these places something entirely new happened, the Book of Briar’s itself began verifying when we were correct. This marked the first time the book had apparently taken direct interest in our work and it was a very welcome indication when we hit the right marks.
As we continued identifying locations, Lauren noticed her journal from Sullivan green began displaying something new on it’s Yule page. The page now displayed ten blank spaces, and as we found locations these spaces began to fill with letters. It seemed th ten locaitons we sought were not just places on a map, but components of something larger. In the end ten locations were found, and ten letters were uncovered. Rearranging these letters to try to make some sort of animal led us to the sixth fragment, Galluskulk.
