And what Fairy propaganda have you been hearing? Every story I've ever read basically boiled down to three scenarios. You become a personal slave/toy for whatever being finds you. You're killed and possibly eaten. You're constantly in mortal peril having to fight your way out of everything and only if you're a genius of heroic proportions do you succeed but with no guarantee that when you return it's even close to the time you left.
So... lost in fairy world. Uncivilized and therefore threat of death, BUT... I'm expecting to be able (allowed) to fight back...? Sounds better than modern society, you son-of-a-bitch, I'm in.
It's really stacked against you though. Just about everything has magic to some degree. Most of it illusory. That doesn't make it any less dangerous as the illusion can and will kill you just as if it was real. It's only if you can see through it that it becomes benign and that's a big if. Then there's everything else. Imagine being a really really smart 6 year old and having to fight against fully grown adults. That's not really a good example but it's the closest I can think of right now. If they're not stronger than you they have magic and are probably faster. If they are stronger than you they probably have magic and are faster. Alot of them are way smarter than you, stronger, faster, and have magic. Your ability to handle iron is pretty much your only advantage physically.
