The baby suddenly thrusts up a wet, dripping thumb. The man wrinkles his nose.
“The faerie folk were scared and angry… Ew. No thanks. I brought my own.”
He continues, unfazed.
“Finally, after years of conflict, a great king set out to find a way to protect his people. His name was Oberon, and he was determined to unite the faerie peoples all over the world and keep them safe!”
A new vignette appears: Oberon, tall and broad-shouldered, wears a bearskin cloak and a hopeful expression.
The child squirms in his lap, but he keeps going.
“Now, Oberon had a favorite advisor. A brilliant sprite—genius, really—named Puck. Puck had the undeniably clever idea to arrange a marriage between Oberon and the most powerful faerie queen of the time: Queen Titania.”
Next to him, a vignette shows Puck—who looks very much like the storyteller—stealing Oberon’s spotlight. Oberon scowls, overshadowed by his cheeky advisor.
Below that, another image appears. Puck introduces Oberon to Queen Titania, a fae woman with long red curls and a sly smile. Oberon looks smitten. Behind Titania, two white-haired trollish figures bounce around—one scowling, one grinning.
