The Ravens of Falkenau & Other Stories
“The dream came to me on the eve of Samhuinn, when true dreams come. “Stand up,” she said, “And come with me.” And so I stood and walked with her.
It seemed to me in sleep that I was far from the smell of peat fires and sheep dung, far from the fresh scent of evergreens that grew on the headland, far from the scent of the sea. I followed her in sleep through a room paved with stars, where cold did not reach and the sighing of the waves did not follow.
“Come with me,” she said, and a vast... shape of wings stretched around her, black as starless night, black as deep caves. Her eyes were gray, and looking in them was like looking into the heart of the clouds.
“I will obey you, Lady,” I said, for I knew who she was then, the Storm Queen who we do not name, she who rides upon the wind to take the brave men home, avenger and Lady of the Dead.
It seemed we stood in some vast place, in some echoing chamber where high above light fell from holes in the ceiling.MoreLess
