Good to hear you like it so far! I promise other CT folk will show up eventually, maybe slowly, but they will show up...

Hours had passed, but it naturally didn't appear as if any time had passed at all. It was like blinking, all appeared the same as it had been moments ago. The ceili was grand, but there was an issue weighing on Daniel's mind.
'Ailieen, there's been news from Aengus, I just didn't tell you.'
'What happened now, did Cu Culainn go ravaging the country for another wife, or what?' demanded Ailieen. Of could be any number of things!
'There's been mortals who got in, nobody knows how, but they did.'

'I'm sure it didn't please Aengus to find that out! Did you go wandering round the forts, Daniel?!? I told you not to, it's dangerous!!'
'Fine, I did.. But we can't let them go back to Ireland and say they found T'ir na n'Og! Everyone will want to get it, it'll be chaos!' argued Daniel.
'You have a point, but ye were foolish!'
'Sorry, Ailiee!' apologized the young lad.
He looked generally sorry, and he pleaded with his hers for her not to be mad. Admittedly, he did pull off the begging puppy dog face off very, very well. Of course, she had taught him that look herself when they'd both wanted another sweet after supper. She sighed, clearly still worried about the problematic issue, but not able to stay mad at the little lad, he'd not meant any harm, after all.

'S fine, Danny lad.' she assured him.
'The mortals were Cork over, but we've not seen them since the once they got in.'
'Maybe they went back to the other side, then? Should we wait till they show up again, so?' wondered Ailieen.
They could wait, or they could go find the strangers themselves. Naturally, Daniel was always up for an adventure, the wacky and wild times both here and in Ireland had proven that side of him time and again.
Before they could decide on which was the better option, there was a sound like thunder cracking and echoing through the sky.
'What the heck was that?!?' they spoke at the same time, voices rising, afraid of what might have just gone down. Suddenly, Daniel had it.
'The time skin! Maybe they've ruptured it!' exclaimed the boy.
'You'd better hope on yer life it didn't!!'
If the time skin's fibers had indeed been broken by the mortals, they all in T'ir na n'Og would grow old, and die as the human beings do. Was the problem as serious as they assumed it to be, the fate of T'ir na n'Og could rest in the hands of two changelings.

I would hate to see the end of T'ir na n'Og! I'm hopeing that sound was just an amplified version of Declan's drums or Keith and Neil jamming on thier guitars! Either way it looks like Ailieen and Daniel are going on an adventure!

'Let's go check the fort that I took to get over here.' suggested Ailieen.
'Okay, I want to see what's going on!' Daniel was so excited for another adventure, at long last! After all, Pukas were only fun to tease for so long before they threaten to eat you or send you to another dimension.
They got to the fort, and it looked as normal as ever. Once inside, they checked in there as well. All was normal. They left, satisfied there was nothing abnormal to be found.
Just as Daniel was beginning to make a long face that the seemingly wild adventure was over almost instantaneously.
Out of thin air, a blond, tall young man burst out of the hole too small for him to climb through comfortably, and he was covered in dirt, blinking and squinting from the sun; looking around like he'd dropped in from another world. Which unknown to him, was exactly what had happened to the young mortal man.

Diedre! you had to take my suggestion of having Keith being the first one in! LOL! But you have to admit knowing what we both know about Keith, it does make sense for him to be the first one to come to T'ir na n'Og!

Yeah, he was The only one That made sense to come over first. I wrote a poem on here it's called Whispers From The Emerald Isle. Care to give me some feedback, Auntie?

'Who might you be?' asked Ailieen, hands on her hips.
'Well now, I am the one and only Keith Harkin, lass.' he replied a bit flippantly.
'So you're a mortal, then?'
'Aye, what else would I be?' he was confused now, unsure of who the pair in front of him were, or what they were.
'A puka in disguise, a sprite, a faerie, maybe even a leprechaun!'

'A leprechaun? Are ya for real?!?' Keith Harkin was astounded, these people were crazy! All he had been doing was strolling along, and then bam! He was in this odd, eccentric place.
'I couldn't be more serious if I tried, Mr.Harkin.' replied the girl.
'God, she could give even Sharon a lesson in seriousness...' he muttered to himself. This girl was going to be tough to crack, that's for sure. Anything she could do, he could do better! Two can play the stubborn game, he thought to himself, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

'So, you must be a faerie or something? And the wee lad is a leprechaun, aye?' asked Keith with a raised eyebrow.
Ailieen rolled her eyes at him. So he was the annoying, slaggin' type, so it seemed. She wondered if he'd be looking so smug if he'd be face to face with a mad Cu Culainn, or with a mischievous puka.
'No, Mr.Blondie, I'm not a faerie, I'm a faerie's child. I'm a changeling, raised in Ireland. Born in T'ir na n'Og, Daniel here as well. He's short, but not a leprechaun, you've to look hard for them folk. And I don't suggest you try, they'll cheat you of of anything of worth, next thing you know you're shinin' their shoes for eternity.' explained the half-faerie girl.
'Compared to you, the leprechauns don't seem that bad at the moment..'
'Oh believe me, there's things and people way worse than me here. I just don't know if I should trust you. You are a mortal, after all.' she voiced her concern about that man at long last. After all, the only men she'd ever known was Thomas Dalton and Aengus.
'Weeeell, I guess I have to take yer word for truth, then. Where am I anyway? I must have bonked me head, no way I'm talking to a real changeling.. I'm gonna get Damian and Emmet back for this one...'
'You've not hit your head, not unless it was on the rocks on the Walls in the fort, ya are rather tall, like. You're in T'ir na n'Og, the land of Eternal Youth and Beauty. Or that's what the mortals call it, anyway. Who's this Damian and Emmet, don't tell me there's more like you?!? Oh Jaysus above....'
Ailieen could barely deal with this Keith character, she had no idea what she would do if more like this man showed up! That would make things interesting, to mention the least, she thought to herself.
