Ennia in Fairie Manuel Alfonseca

Ennia sleeps. Suddenly, someone touches her elbow. She awakes and sees a black shadow in the blackness of her room. It is Mr. Otto, who invites her to go to Fairie and fulfil a mission. Which mission? She must discover that by herself. To help her in her trip, she is given a magic box with a screen. When Ennia makes a wish, the box will tell her whether it has been granted or not and why, with explanations such as: "You must not ask for things that you can get by yourself" or "Once you have made a wish, it cannot be undone". Ennia is an alegory of life. As life is hard, it needs self-denial; as life is beautiful and unrepeatable, fantasy is a required help.
