Editing Wish the Nereid (section)

==Background==
Wish had it good. The new presumptive proprietors of the forest were much friendlier to nature than the old ones. The lake was cleaner, the trees were happier, the dryads were frolicking. On top of that, the new family living in the old stone manor had a daughter who just loved the fey. She was half-fey herself. Wish nicknamed her Pet. She was a great playmate, and the two of them would splash in the lake for hours. Then one day the house was abuzz. She'd vanished. Nobody knew where she was. There was a huge panic, and Wish didn't have her favorite playmate. That was not fair. She must have considered it so unfair that she, too, vanished from her familiar lake one evening, and appeared in this old stone place that had no lake at all.

What fun was that? Clearly, she'd have to make her own fun. First, the people here wore clothes, so that was step one. Pet had given her a pendant that could summon clothes for her, because she liked playing dress-up so much. Then she learned this was a school? Where you... learned... things? Pet had taught her things, but this was all stone and dry and weird. Here she was, though. It was time to get to know the people here. She liked people. That would be a good place to start. And she would need a place to sleep that was not one of the scratchy, dry things that land people used.
