Jenny decided to try to find [[Glendalf]] again, and reasoned that if he and the [[Orc]]s made it out of the billionaire's mansion, they probably followed up on their plan for a side-quest in [[Faerie]]. Using the power of an old English ballad rather than something more conspicuous to [[ARCHONET]]'s sensors, she translated herself back to the eerie woodland of Faerie. | Jenny decided to try to find [[Glendalf]] again, and reasoned that if he and the [[Orc]]s made it out of the billionaire's mansion, they probably followed up on their plan for a side-quest in [[Faerie]].

There, after walking for some time under a noonday sun partially blocked out by the foliage, she suddenly found that it was night, and was lured by a voice calling her name to a clearing where she found Glendalf, partially transformed into (or fused with) a barren, gnarled tree. Glendalf told her he had gotten the Orcs to safety, but been cursed by the [[Queen of Faerie]] who was now using him as bait for Jenny. Indeed, the Queen herself had just arrived. She greeted Jenny coldly, prompting a defiantly casual response from the Shifter.

Jenny insisted on freeing Glendalf, which she achieved using her [[light-knife]], a gift from [[The Illumination|the Abstract of Illumination]]. The Queen summoned the [[Wild Hunt]] after Jenny and the weakened Glendalf; Jenny only managed to destroy one of the Hunt's riders, and with great effort, but they then found a doorway into the [[Red Lion Inn]].

==== The Inn and the cabin ==== | |||
Inside the [[Red Lion Inn]], where many mythical beings had also taken refuge from [[ARCHONET]], Jenny was reunited not only with [[the Bartender]] but also with [[Octobriana#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Octobriana]], whom Glendalf also recognised as an old friend: all three of them had memories of specific shared lifetimes, the ones they'd spent as part of the [[League of Liberation]], on their minds. After [[Archondroid]]s arrived to clear out the Inn, Jenny used a special whistle to attract the attention of the [[Wild Hunt]] again and use them as a distraction for the Archondroids while she, Jenny and Glendalf made their way through the secret, dimension-crossing tunnels below the Inn. | |||
They emerged, after long trawling through the dark tunnels, in a [[Limbo realm]] where they found an unoccupied cabin in which they took refuge and recuperated. Jenny, who was really sleeping for the first time since the Collapse, had a dream where she was “running around corridors and looking for something that was always out of reach”, which she was unable to remember clearly upon waking. In the morning, she played a mournful song on the [[theriamen]] which helped soothe her, Glendalf and Octobriana's brittle emotional states. Glendalf then excused himself, leaving Jenny and Octobriana their privacy; before long, they kissed and indeed slept together.
