Hump Day Hook

Lilacflowers

A fae portal populated by a mysterious time singer sends Kelly and Ingvar back to ancient Norway. Here is Kelly’s first impression of the portal in Wytchfae Runes.

She and Ingvar stood in an open space surrounded by a ring of lavender hued standing stones. Outside the ring, lush greenery stretched over rolling hills as far as the eye could see. Immediately outside the ring, concentric circles of fruit trees grew–apple, pomegranate, persimmon, and plum–all laden with succulent looking fruit. Grapes and berries climbed between. Kelly’s senses burst with the aroma of the varieties of blossoms covering the ground and peeping through the spaces between the stones. She could make out the scent of roses mixed with violet and heather, and other flowers she couldn’t name. The clean sweetness of green grass underlay it all. Looking up at a purple sky, she realized the luminosity came not from the sun but from an unseen ambient source. She dipped her fingers in a low well nestled near one of the stones. Gems sparkled in its shallows.

  1. What a beautiful paragraph full of alluring images and scents. I wouldn’t mind seeing this place instead of the winter night outside. Thanks for sharing, it made me long for late spring.
