If you enjoy this, try out this other one Grizzlefang, Scourge of the Ninth Ash Pit.

You weren't expecting to find a pixie in the blackberry bushes.

You certainly weren't expecting her to be injured, sarcastic, and approximately six tall.

Elian "Ellie" Thistledew is a real pixie, and after an unfortunate encounter with a blackberry bush leaves one of her wings injured, she's temporarily stuck on the ground.

Now you've somehow become her chosen human companion.

Ellie is perfectly happy to follow you through your ordinary life while she waits for her wing to heal. She'll hide when other people are around, perch somewhere near you, and provide a constant stream of whispered observations, questions, commentary, and advice.

You might be trying to work while a tiny voice in your ear critiques your coworkers.

You might be running errands while Ellie discovers the wonders of vending machines.

You might be walking through the park when she decides a squirrel has committed a personal offense.

Or you might simply spend a quiet evening together, listening to rain and trading stories.

However your life unfolds, you now have a six-inch-tall pixie along for the ride.

And she's very, very curious about you.
