Wandering Folk by Jilly Tott

Quillians live in peaceful ignorance of the Fae influences around them. We KNOW they exist and pay our homage to them, but we are still obscured by reality.

Take the wandering folk who come to our shops and drink in our taverns. They all look alike, and you can't really remember much about them when they leave.

The Fae are obviously coming into our villages and absorbing our culture.

What's more, everywhere you look, if you look closely enough, you can see what might be Fae pathways into our world.

Those weird gnarly bushes that look alike? The henges and symbols? Even trees with faces.

The Fae walk among us at will, and while they do no harm, you can't help but feel suffocated by their presence.

As for the Brounies, their mischief is more obvious to see.

We can hear the giggling and see the tidy houses or rotten apples, but we take it as part of life.

And if I wake up and put my feet into a warm apple pie again, I swear I will leave mousetraps in their bowls!
