The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

So sweet of him. No enchantment I promise you, although have you seen how much he blushes when he looks at me? I am glad it was him and not the others. I am glad he finds peace here, the city sounds most unpleasant and I bet there is not a single lake to be swum in. I wonder if he would like another drink? Perhaps I should resume my role as barmaid and take him one.

Why certainly Philomena! Drinks all round!

That poor elf is still suffering? It's been decades. Thank you for the daisies evenaive, I shall make a chain and wear it around my neck always. Nothing better than a necklace of flowers tucked away beneath my beard. I shall look a pretty picture combing my hair with Philomena's comb and wearing your daisies.

Sweeney will be delighted with your gift. He does like a nice scent in the privy and that thyme mixed in the mire water should do the trick.

Kalvos, has retreated into the back room to write. He seems to like his own company. I'm sure he will love the violets, how thoughtful. A thimble for you certainly, and you will soon feel swoozy.

As for those stones. Really don't know what to make of them Gwenllian, could be evil magic.

Gollema is a noisy place, yes perhaps he would like another drink. Although, we should perhaps respect his wishes. He's a strange sort.

*eve naive peers over Xibes shoulder at Gwen's stones.*

I don't know... I think there is one here called 'Othila'...it is sacred to heritage and family values...but other than that I can not help... I am so sorry Gwen.

Philomena! Take your marigolds and wear them in your beautiful hair!

Urat! *eve naive claps her hands and wiggles her toes in delight at the sight of the kindly man!*

No I'm sure they're not evil Urat, I have what my people call the sixth sense and I think I would know, I feel nothing but good from them Thank you eve , I shall put them away for now, cheers

What was is you asked the stones Gwen? and Urat you do look absolutely blooming:P

They are beautiful flowers eve. There are nothing mermaids like more to braid in their hair than pretty flowers, although some men heap our laps with jewels. I shall leave our brave knight then Urat, sometimes my presence causes men more unease than pleasure although perhaps the sound of our merry laughter will lure him from his hiding place or maybe a little song is in order ladies?

Dance of the Wild Faeries

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange to hear
And followed the glow of a shimming light
That seemed to grow distant as I grew near

The woods were alive with the fragrance of spring
But winter was everywhere clear to see
The moon shone bright and a bat on the wing
Beckoned me closer and said to me:

"A clearing close In the forest you'll find
A fabulous banquet, a fairy ball
If you close your eyes and you open your mind
The veil disappears and you'll see it all*

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

When I closed my eyes to the shimmering light
All memory faded and I could see
That a mushroom circle of red and white
And myriad fairies surrounded me

Beyond all space and beyond all time
On gossamer wings did the fairies fly
With a joy unknown to a music sublime
The fairies danced, and there danced I

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the /odd can grow old in a single night

"Those who seek us surely find us
See the trail we leave behind us
Some bewildered, some enlightened
Some are brave, some are frightened
Are we kind or are we vicious?
Nectar poison or delicious?
That, my sweet, you will discover
Fairy foe, or fairy lover"

Come and play as the wild fairies play
In a magical circle, a fairy ring
You won't want to leave and forever you'll stay
Where the vision is bright as spring

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

I wandered alone to the forest one night
Led by a music strange to hear
If you happen to pass when the moon is bright
And the veils are thin you will find me here
If the veils are thin you will find me here

Come and dance the wild fairy dance
Spin in a circle as fast as light
Once you begin you are caught in a trance
And the world can grow old in a single night

*eve naive skips around the table*

I never let them drown though sweet changling, I am a good mermaid. Urat will scold me if I tease his guest too much but eve's song is so pretty it can't hurt to have a little trill.
