The mask dropped, and we saw a short, pale man with blond hair and parrot-like wings with bright feathers! We all went after him together, but held onto him most tightly — his hands gripped the joker's wing in an iron grip. Then an ear-piercing whistle sounded from all around us, and stones began raining on us from above! The impostor was aided by his winged kin, who grabbed him by the hands and began pulling him up. We didn't give up, but in the end, we were overpowered. There were just too many, dear reader — they quickly reclaimed our prisoner from us. Soaring into the air and shaking their fists at us, they flew off. We sat a long time around the fire, laughing and chatting about how cleverly dispelled the illusion. And when morning came, as we looked around at the rainbow-colored feathers left behind by our uninvited guests, I noticed one of them had lost a valuable bracelet in the fight! We'd ended up with a trophy, at least.
