They had always been brave, of course. Even when the goblin shadows slinked through mushroom rings, or when the old owl on Cedar Hill whispered riddles meant for grown fae. But tonight, with their world suddenly brighter and the wind louder than ever, courage felt different—it was real, just as the world was suddenly real and not a bedtime tale.
Elizabeth gripped John’s hand. “Do you think she’s here?” she whispered, peering up. The wind threw her voice away and carried strange music instead—silver notes chasing the clear sky.
John looked back at the candle. Its wick glowed red, but no flame burned. That was the sign the stories had promised.
“Yes,” he replied, heart pounding. “The Enchantress is coming. Tonight, everything changes.”
No grown fairy had ever met the Enchantress and remembered it. But they had heard the warning: when the first candle goes out, old magic wakes. The real kind, the dangerous kind; the kind that could make even the bravest fairy afraid.
All around them, the world shimmered. Flowers tilted to watch. The trees leaned closer, and in that brilliant, enchanted silence, the adventure truly began.
