Haitula found a magic recipe for a potion that was supposed to revive the little pixies Umbriel and Haitula raked out of the River of Tuonela - and it looks like Haitula's potion is working!
Umbriel: Look! It is working! They are waking up!
Haitula: I said it would work.
Aniara: The poor little things need clothes. I'll go and see if I find some dolly clothes that fit...
Aniara: Here are some clothes that look about the right size. Let's see if they fit...
Aniara: A little loose, but they will do...
Haitula: Can you pixies speak? Do you have names?
Girl: My name is Tuuli. It means "wind".
Boy: And my name is Pyry. It means "snowfall" and not just any snowfall, a heavy one with lots of snow.
Tuuli: And when you put wind and snowfall together...
Pyry: ...you get a BLIZZARD!
Aniara: I bet you are hungry, would you like to eat something?
Pyry: I wonder if you have any blood oranges?
Haitula: It just happens we do. I'll get you some.
The little pixies eagerly grab the oranges and start to suck...
Haitula: Ummm... I think you are supposed to peel them first...
Tuuli: What?
Haitula: They sucked the oranges dry!
Tuuli: I suppose we must confess...
Pyry: ... we are vampires.
Tuuli: There was this vampire, you see.
Pyry: And he bit us.
Tuuli: But as we were vegetarian pixies, we turned into vegetarian vampires.
Pyry: We hate to bite people. But we love to suck blood oranges and strawberries dry.
Tuuli: But the gardeners did not like it....
Pyry: So we ended into the River of Tuonela... We thought that was a bit drastic, but people are afraid of vampires and wanted to get rid of all of them.
Tuuli: But you can't kill vampires by throwing them into a river. Even if it is the River of Tuonela.
Tuuli: We are very grateful to you for saving us, but now that you know we are vampires, I suppose we must leave.
Pyry: But we would not mind getting a few more of those blood oranges to take with us and eat on the way...
Aniara: Nonsense. There's no need to leave, you just said you are vegetarians.
Umbriel: Just promise you don't bite any people. Not even trolls and Zumikloxians.
Tuuli: We promise! We'll only bite vegetables.
Pyry: If you have some broccoli you hate, we are glad to bite it dead and suck it dry for you!
