Magic Banquet
“Was sweeping the floor in the Mindvault Academy. They say hard work improves your character. The toil sure doesn’t do anything good for your back, knees, or hands, and I’d rather have those than good character, which generally seems no fun at all.
Anyway, was sweeping beneath a window. Real crystal in those windows, enchanted, too, so you never have to polish them. Their panes swayed with the gusts instead of rattling.
Didn’t have windows near as fine at home. Drippy glass plates with bits of s...and in ‘em. Like as not would have to rub them clear of hearth smoke on my day off. Couldn’t expect my laze-about children to do a lick of housework. And my husband had been dead some five years, not that he’d have helped, so good riddance.
Been a mother all my life, or near enough.
Mother to my four children and handmaid to an enchantress who was pleasant as a plum when asleep.
Now where was I? Right, sweeping the floor.
But it was really the ceiling, since most everything is upside-down in the Mindvault Academy, and gravity is twisted like a corkscrew.MoreLess
