This is Part 27 of an on-going serial I’m writing called, “Lyr the Enchanter”. To read the story from the beginning, you can find the story index, here.
When the world settled, I rounded on the leader of the Little Folk.
‘What just happened?’
He remained silent.
‘Where is my wife?’
He shrugged his shoulders. ‘It ain’t a problem though is it, her being missing. We’d heard you weren’t close.’
‘That’s not the point!’
‘All I’m trying to say is, every cloud has a silver lining.’
I aimed a glare at the diminutive man, and then stormed out of the building.
The front overlooked a steep hillside, covered with dense shrubbery. The back, I found out, looked out across rolling fields, terminating at the edge of a forest.
I walked a little way, and then stopped, glancing left, then right. I didn’t recognise the area. If I stayed, would the same magical occurrence happen again and return us to where we had come from, or would it take us some place new?
I was puzzled, perplexed, and had no idea what to do for the best.

You’re forgiven the over-shoot on words. It rolls beautifully, in keeping with the landscape. And I could believe if you looked the other way you might find somewhere different.

Thank you, Crispina. I’m slowly building myself up to tackle that tractor photo…that one must be coming up very soon…

It is, of course, a demon clothed in bright shining armour.
