yellow wing. It goes best with our uniforms.”
    â€œPlease what do you mean by Otherworld, where is it?” Oengus asked, alarmed that they were about to leave him in an empty hall.
    â€œOtherworld is a huge place,” Nilas said.
    â€œHow huge?”
    â€œNobody knows but it is vast and includes the Faerie Kingdom and the Underworld and of course Tir na Nogh where Danu normally resides. You are very honored that she has deigned to come to see you.”
    â€œI am? I don’t think so. This is gross. I’m not going a step further,” Oengus insisted.
    â€œJust go with the flow,” Eifa urged with a warm smile.
    â€œLike, I’m a teenager. I like TV and the Internet. I don’t do faerie palaces,” Oengus added.
    â€œBut Oengus here you are. You are in this reality and you have to live it,” Nilas pointed out kindly.
    Oengus stared at her. She had a beautiful honest open face without any trace of guile. He wondered would he cry or scream. He really felt he’d like to talk to his Mom. She was well grounded. Instead here he was dressed as a prat.
    â€œGo on,” Nilas urged, meeting his eyes in a friendly way.
    â€œAfter the meeting you can ask to go home,” Eifa suggested.
    â€œWhere is the meeting?” Oengus asked.
    â€œGo through that door with the diamond and sapphire handle. Follow the corridor and it will lead to Danu.”
    â€œCan you come?” Oengus asked.
    â€œSorry but no one may be in the presence of a God without an invitation. It’s just you and your uncle John and Danu.”
    If asked Oengus would have guessed Danu to be in her thirties. She was an attractive woman with clear blue eyes and dark black hair that was long but bound back by a golden clasp.
    Her dress was long and although low at the neck it showed no cleavage, but she had in Oengus’s opinion, a lithe full figure with just the right amount of curves, the figure of a Goddess.
    The dress reminded Oengus of the pictures of Celtic Princesses he had seen in history books. But he could see no jewelry other than the golden clasp that held her silken hair.
    They were sitting opposite one another on low lounge couches and they both rose as Oengus entered.
    Oengus was very self-conscious in his strange costume and gave his uncle John an embarrassed smile.
    â€œElfin clothes suit you Oengus,” Danu said warmly, adding, “Do sit beside me.”
    There was a large silver tray on the table and a golden dome covering whatever rested there. Danu took off the dome to reveal cakes and beverages.
    â€œWe won’t be disturbed but do help yourselves. I know you have had breakfast but don’t be shy. The cakes are excellent and we have coffee and tea and some bottled ‘water of life’ for you John in view of your condition,” Danu explained.
    â€œTry the Kimberly biscuits Oengus. They are fresh,” she added.
    Oengus took one to be polite but in fact Kimberly was his favorite biscuit.
    As Danu poured him a cup of tea in a delicate cup of unknown provenance, Oengus wondered that everything seemed normal but nothing was normal. Maybe a doctor would arrive and declare them all insane? But he decided that in the meantime he might as well enjoy a fresh Kimberly biscuit.
    He realized Danu was looking at him in an appraising way. But she had soft eyes and a soft expression. He felt embarrassed but not threatened.
    â€œIt is good to see you Oengus,” she said gently.
    â€œWhat’s going on?” Oengus began but Danu held up a hand.
    â€œListen a while Oengus and then you will understand. Let John explain why you are both here,” Danu said and turned to John.
    â€œJohn?” she prompted.
    John looked nervous as he met Oengus’s eyes. He took a sip of his coffee and then cooled it with the bottled water. It seemed to give him strength.
    â€œFirst, Oengus I hear the Kerryman newspaper gave me a splash when I was involved in rescue work
