Nobody knows what is really happening in the Howlin' Woods, but almost every new moon terrible screams, shrieks, and ghastly noises are heard by the whole town of Burns, Florida. Anyone who has dared venture in there at night never returns. It has been known as a place of evil clear back to when the Seminole Indians inhabited the area.

The legend says that if you could catch him and kiss him on the head you would be stone lucky for the rest of your life, but no one has ever accomplished it.

The keepers promised Freck and Wishes to teach them many wonderful things and help them develop their unknown abilities. In the short while since becoming acquainted with the kingdom they have already learned to mind-speak, mind-read, mind-link, and participate in cooperative cigam. Cigam is the keeper word for magic. It is magic spelled backwards to keep it from being confused with stage magic, which isn't real. Stage magic is trickery.
