Faye woke up in her own bed to the sound of birdsong. She rolled over groggily, patting the quilt for her phone. Locating it by her feet, she pressed the display and looked at the time. Six a.m.

She had left at 1.30 a.m., and she was back a mere few hours later, but she knew that she had been in Murias for days. Time ran differently in the fae realms; she had known that. It was an oft-mentioned part of fae lore.

She swung her feet out of bed and placed them on the wooden floor, then frowned and pulled up her right foot, resting it on her knee. The skin between her toes was sore. She rubbed her foot gently, then took her hand away and felt the sand on her palm.

She stared at the tiny granules of dark sand for a minute or more, feeling unease unfurl in her like a stray ribbon.

Faye stood up and caught her reflection in the mirror. She was naked, and a pile of clothes – jumper, dress, thermals – lay on the floor by the end of the bed as if she had stepped out of them there, but she had no memory of doing so. She knew she had got dressed – when? Last night? A week ago? A month ago? – and gone to the beach, but then… then, it had felt like a dream.

She went to the bathroom and leaned over to run a bath. As she reached out her hand, she saw the ring on her thumb.

It was a large round opal set in rose gold. Faye gasped and stood up in shock, looking at her hand, which suddenly seemed completely alien. This wasn’t any ring of hers; usually she wore a silver pentagram ring that had been Moddie’s on her right index finger and a vintage tiger’s eye on her left for protection. It wasn’t a ring from the shop that she’d slipped on by mistake, either, as she definitely hadn’t seen it before.

She held it up to the light. The opal sparkled with unusual gold, pink and orange accents that swirled lazily, as if magic dwelled within it. She stared at it as the bath filled up slowly.

‘What on earth?’ she opened a jar of her own handmade Full Moon bath salts and shook them into the water. The smell of lavender filled the bathroom. She tried to remove the ring from her thumb, but she couldn’t: it wasn’t uncomfortable, but it fit tightly and wouldn’t come off.

She got in the bath, breathing in the fragranced steam, and let it cover her. She closed her eyes and held the ring to her forehead. It was an instinctive gesture, but as soon as she did so, she saw Finn Beatha in her mind’s eye, as if he was with her, in the bathroom. She opened her eyes with a start, but she was alone.

Cautiously, she held the ring to her third eye chakra in the middle of her forehead again and closed her eyes.
