    Two years later Seán was invited among other pipers to play at a wedding. After some time each piper was trying to outdo his neighbour by playing most beautifully. At last Seán began the Fairy Reel. Suddenly the house shook and the lights went out. After some time all was calm again but Seán was missing. The fairies had taken him to the Fairy Fort and there he is ever since.
