§672

‘I was playing by myself outside when I heard music. It sounded like a flute or clarinet. The music was otherworldly and made me want to dance. I loved it! I loved it so much I wanted to go to the person playing the music to thank them for playing. But I couldn’t find them. I would walk in the direction I thought I heard it in and suddenly it’d be behind me. I’d turn around and head off again, only for the music to come from the left side. I wandered around my yard, both front and back for a while looking for the source of the music. Eventually I got tired and gave up. I sprawled on the ground and nodded off while listening to the beautiful tune.’ ‘Otherworldly. I just can’t put my finger on it. It sounded like a wind instrument at the very least, but it didn’t sound like one I’d ever heard.’ ‘I know about being pixy led and that fairies love music, so I feel it matches pretty well.’ What are fairies? ‘They aren’t angels, demons, or nature spirits. They’re their own category, although I guess there could be overlap. I think fairies are beings that primarily exist in the otherworld but have the ability to come here. I also think sometimes here and the otherworld overlap, leading to interactions between fairies and humans. They’re morally gray or amoral I guess, since they just don’t fall under our human rules of society. They can be helpful, play tricks, or be downright mean. I think there are certain ways to interact with fairies to stay safe (be polite, don’t say ‘thank you’, be careful about food and drink offered, etc).’
