Fairy-Struck
We rode through, and I glanced at them but on the inside, they were just unadorned sheets of gold.
Outside of the mound, the sky was still inky black and full of stars. There seemed to be more celestial bodies in Fairy than in HR, but I knew that was just because they were easier to see without the blinding lights of human cities obscuring their sparkle. Still, the night seemed more magical, more powerful. I breathed in the pure, crisp air and let it clear my head of the rush I'd received from the path in-between. My skin had muted down to normal, but its previous glow must have been enough to attract the attention of a moth, which landed on my hand.
