Where Am I?
Helena was lost. It was only a small forest, and yet she had no idea where she was. At the top of a hill she looked around. All she could see was endless forest in every direction. She felt confused.
When darkness fell, she saw a single light and made for that. To her surprise she came to an inn. When she walked in, there were strange creatures looking at her inquisitively.
“You lost miss?” asked the innkeeper.
“Yes.”
“Somehow you crossed a gate into Faerie. In the morning I’ll send someone with you to help get you home.”

They have a boat that crosses the river back… I can’t think of the name of that kind of boat…

That was a kindly innkeeper. Although I suspect when she returns she’ll find more than a night has passed
