The cottage is as poorly maintained inside as it is outside. Its owner was no domestic angel. Cobwebs fill the ceiling and weave veritable tapestries between the cracked, old furniture. The central space is occupied by a large table laden with mysterious products and glassware. The man was certainly dabbling in alchemy or distillation.
Browsing the rows of jars lined with multiple shelves furnishing the walls, you discover numerous dried herbs. As you pick up a jar to examine it more closely, you discover a second row hidden behind the first. This time the preserved substances are more suspicious: animal parts preserved in formalin, jars of monstrous eyes, substances with strange and suspicious hues… Could that be some human fingers? You decide not to check.
As you prepare to leave, you hear a muffled voice: “Hey!” You jump, then begin a more thorough search, straining your ears. Oddly, the sound seems to be coming from behind a row of jars you haven't yet searched. Summoning your courage, uncertain of the horrors you might uncover, you remove the obstacles.

One jar glows with a bluish light, and a small creature with a feminine silhouette and diaphanous wings stirs inside. A few holes are drilled in the bottle's stopper. You don't know if fairies need to breathe, but this possibility had been considered, allowing the creature's voice to reach you.
“Listen to me!” she says. “I was captured by the owner of this laboratory! I hadn't even crossed the border, believe me: I hadn't left the Enchanted Forest, so he had no right to capture me. You have a noble heart, don't you? Free me and I'll grant you one wish!”
Will you free this fairy at 346, or would you prefer to take the bottle and its contents to 363? Or you can simply leave everything as is and go back to 44.
