#WyrdWednesday: As a boy Elidyr used a hole in the riverbank as a portal to #Fairyland. He encountered two little men who took him to the #Otherworld, where he lived in ease and joy. All was beautiful there—bountiful land, beautiful people, endlessly sunny weather.
But when the prospective #Welsh hero tryed to steal a little gold ball he was caught by the fairies, who were angry and disappointed at his actions. They did not punish him but allowed him to go back to the surface world, free and safe. But thereafter, no matter how he sought, Elidyr could never find that riverbank entrance to fairyland.
