The Spriggan Mirror (2011)
“Gresh announced. “Just make way, and we’ll go.”
The spriggans looked at one another and squeaked a few questions back and forth, but then a path gradually opened. Gresh took Karanissa’s hand and led her through the gap and across the meadow, toward the carpet.
Her fingers were warm and delicate; he was careful not to squeeze them.
They were soon clear of the main mass of spriggans. Even so, others were scattered along their route, forming loose lines along either side. Gresh was aware of dozens of bulging little eyes watching him as he released the witch’s hand, unslung his pack, and loosened the drawstring.
Karanissa said nothing. She did not need to ask any questions about his intentions; he was sure she was still sensing his thoughts, even if he was no longer trying to put them into words.
“What happened?” Tobas called, getting to his feet as they neared the carpet.
