What is recorded here

Marianne and the invisible children ran around the circular fort until dusk. They drank from the rock basin and ate bread until full. When Marianne offered honeycake, the children vanished into the hill. Her own legs felt light and her hunger disappeared. She ran home before dark, certain the fort had given back what it took.
