Fergus and the Finfolk | Part One8:17

For centuries, the FinFolk have been a mysterious people. Rarely seen and rarely heard, but talks of their mischief, their shapeshifting and their adventures have been told by Orcadians for many years. By families huddled round the dining table on cold winter nights, by friends over campfires in the highlands of Scotland and by grandparents to their grandchildren, just before bed, just before dark.

What will Fergus do? Will Fergus do as his father says and stay in the safety of Finfolkaheem or will he create his own adventure? Will he one day be also be one of the brave Finfolk of the future? Fergus remembers and Fergus wants more.
