Dear Reader,
I have been battling Carmen for many days now, she has gained strength. I have done my best to help you and I have managed to get this old scroll from her! It contains one of the most powerful stories of Irish Mythology. Carmen is very angry, tread carefully while retelling this story. You must succeed! I must rest now, I wish you luck on your quest. Look below, the faeries will give you further instructions.
Fand.
Task 1
The Irish people love a good story, make sure you explain the background, bring
this story to life... using pictures and Irish music my help them jog their memories!!! Be careful, this scroll belongs to Carmen, she will know if you copy from it so make sure you use your own words! Unfortunately, Carmen's magic has faded some of the scroll, you must find it and learn the rest of the
story! Create a wiki to preserve the story.
