Night was falling on the fair, and shadows of the surrounding forest began to extend branched hands farther and farther into the great glade.

A few people began to notice that there were no lampposts at this fair. They had all admired the ribbons drawn across the tops of the trees, girded with honeysuckle vines that hung down every few feet, creating aromatic curtains above their heads. But now the fear of night obscured even the flowers’ scent. And the glass baubles that hung between each flower curtain, what good were they, people whispered, if they weren’t lamps or candelabras?

A worried murmur began to rise among the row of blacksmiths, big dudes who were getting skittish. They grumbled that they never would have put out their smelting fires if they’d known it’d be pitch-black. A few of them scuttled over to the lady who made night-lights out of glow-in-the-dark seashells.
