The story you are about to read may challenge what you believe a bit. But I am sure it will also speak to something in you.

And to them I say, now you know why I was acting a bit funny during our exploration of ancient Lappa. Here’s the story of the Valley of the Fairies beneath the village of Argyroupoli (ancient Lappa).
