Abbey Caves Chronicles number 3.
Upon this cache you will find a number scratched to reveal the hidden location of the final for the nearby Multi cache.
We must be going in the right direction we seem to have agitated a sprite.
The Humming sprite has spotted us and its not too happy! Good thing we have been given the sight, else we wouldn't be able to see them trying to defend their territory.
Quick, hide in the bushes and try to win it over.
We must prove to it that we mean the Water sprite no harm and that we need its help to get to the next sprite that will help us on our way.
The Humming sprite, still weary of us, gives us a trial and lets us know that if we pass the test, and find the next sprite, we will be worthy to face the Water sprite.
Make sure you rehide the sprite in its little cavern so that other humans cant find it and try to pick it like a flower.
Sprites (Family: Cordimundidae)
Dazzling in color and about the size of large insects, sprites have glistening membranous wings. In fact, they are often confused with exotic insects or flowers at first glance.
Sprites
Considered by many to be the most common type of faerie, sprites prefer to live in deep woods and make their homes high in the branches of trees. They particularly love to live in forests inhabited by treefolk and other fey.
If sprites are spotted, you can be sure you are in an area with a high concentration of faerie activity.
Sprites travel in swarms and will bite if provoked. At night their bodies give off a faint glow allowing them to be mistaken for fireflies. These, along with other flying insects and small birds, they are often fond of riding.
Petals and blooms missing from healthy plants may be due to sprites plucking them for clothing. Sprites also cause plants to bloom in the middle of winter and are the nurturers of the strange fruits faeries delight in.
In forests filled with sprites, you may find the hollowed-out acorns they use as cups, as well as dandelion-tuft mattresses and hats made from folded leaves.
