The Last Faerie Queen (2015)
“The darkness that covered the lands came from within. Within the Dark Court. Within the Dark Queen. In this part of the world, the sun had a penchant for shying away entirely during the winter months, but in the summer, it shone furiously, forcing us underground.
Still, if the occasion called for it, we might be inclined to climb out of the earth with grasping hands, and use our collective power to cover the lands in pleasant darkness for one night. Our strength would be depleted in the mor...ning, with or without the dancing, with or without the drink. But for one glorious night, we would revel in the blackness, in the sky so beautiful a person could disappear into it.
If you are a good little faerie, the sky might open up her arms and swallow you whole.
This is the story I was told, as a child. And now, in spite of the danger, and the word sacrifice running constantly through my mind, I felt a single rebellious thrill as the first sliver of darkness curled out of the earth.MoreLess
