Fever Mist
“Elyse at Glimmer CottageI WAS ON THE ROOF the morning the fever mist rolled in. Like rolling thunder made visible, I thought.
The mist was black and gray and white… unnatural. What kind of magic is in this?
Of course I dearly wanted to go to the cliffs for a real look, to be near Igdrasil, but there would be people on the road. Even then, a woman scurried through her fields, dodging the sheep as she made her way toward Tintagos Bay to see the strange phenomenon. I recognized her and picked up t...he glimmer glass for a better view. Yes, it was the salt-tosser, Mrs. Thresher. She once accused me of being a fairy and tried to frighten me out of my own house. I didn’t like the farmer’s wife, but I knew her name, and that’s all that mattered. I put down the glimmer glass. Where had I put the satin pouch of dust?I have to know a person’s name to use glamour dust on them. I sit in a quiet place—usually the roof of Glimmer Cottage—and say the name three times while tossing a handful of the stuff in the air.MoreLess
