Abbey Caves Chronicles number 4.
Upon this cache you will find a number scratched to reveal the hidden location of the final for the nearby Multi cache.
You have now passed the test of the first sprite.
As you cross the fence, you can hear a buzzing of more of them hiding in the trees above you.
You need to look for the one who will help you to continue your quest. The one with the clue.
This particular sprite is hiding in another rock cavern, awaiting you to arrive, They need to be on the lookout for Goblins as they will snatch them up and devour them whole at a moments notice.
When you find the sprite, see what it has to say and then let it hide back in the location of which you first found it.
Let it be safe and go for the Yellow Petal Sprite who will allow you access, if you behave well enough.
About 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.
