Out of the Caves
“Beware of Thygerod,” Oberon warns them. “He has the fairies locked in a cave in one of seven mountains and will be happy to capture you, especially Tut. You have some fairy powers, but are no match for the evil one. Only a human can perform some of the necessary tasks, which is why Elizabeth is needed,
In each of the first six mountains (Seven Sisters), creatures from the world’s myths challenge them but Tut and Elizabeth liberate the fairies. In the seventh mountain, they meet their enemy and are captured. Elizabeth escapes from dungeon because of her humanness.
The fairies are all liberated; Elizabeth made an honorary fairy and sent home and goes back to school but doesn’t see Tut again.
Elizabeth is on a solo camping trip readying for college when she recognizes the sound of fairy music. She finds a band of the little people forcing a young man to dance until he is exhausted (from Giselle). They know who she is and release the man, Zachary, to her. Tut shows up and agrees with Elizabeth to help the man get back a locket and map of his family’s mine showing an entrance to Thygerod’s realm which his grandfather found and in which he disappeared.
