    #Wss366 exodus #TimeTravelAuthors 9/11. Has your MC ever been in a fight?

    The trip up to the mezzanine was tricky. In many places, the steps trembled under my weight, and in other spots they were missing. My heart was in my mouth when I had to jump over the gaps. Weena struggled even more, so I carried her over the holes. Each time, she buried her face in my chest, her eyes tightly shut.

    At each stage, the fairies below laughed and clapped. A few of them tried following us, but turned back at the first obstacle.

    In the end, we failed to reach the top. We stopped on a landing instead. Dust blanketed the floor, undisturbed for years. It wasn’t a pleasant place to camp, but at least it was safe.

    Slumber evaded me when we lay down. It was almost as if I didn’t need it. I stared into the dark thinking for a long time, with Weena curled up around me. Finally, her warmth and the soft lullaby of her breathing, joined by the rustle of fairies below, lulled me to sleep.

    I awoke to a rending scream. Next to me, Weena was trembling. “Mourloks,” she whimpered.

    When I peered out into the room, it was too dark to see anything. “I wish I had a lantern,” I thought.

    “Eye-yeeee!” I shrieked as a flaming branch appeared in my hand.

    This was the second instance that something I wished for appeared. The last time it had happened behind my back. Since I hadn’t witnessed the clothes appear at the sphinx, I’d written it off as a mystery. This time there was no mistake; I had conjured a light from thin air. What was going on?

    Feral howls brought me back to the present, and I looked over the railing. Below, I could make out pallid, mushroom-gray creatures holding unresisting fairies. Pandemonium broke out. The wee folk screamed in terror while the Morlocks howled in pain and averted their eyes from the light.

    This was possibly the first time I’d ever fought, but I wouldn’t let monsters carry off any of the fae, no matter how pathetic they seemed. I hurled the burning brand among the loathsome creatures and wished for another torch, which I also threw. By the time I summoned the third flaming branch, the Morlocks had fled in a mad #exodus.

    Weena led me into the building through an arch decorated with elaborate carvings of dancing nymphs and satyrs. Like everything else, time had left them battered. The building’s inside was the same: a huge vaulted chamber hung with brown tapestries so faded that any patterns had long since vanished. The floor was constructed of slabs of a metal resembling aluminum. While free of tarnish, countless feet had worn deep channels along the fairy folk’s paths. Raised tables of polished granite ran the length of the room. At only half a meter tall, they were an ideal height for wee people to kneel and eat the fruit heaped upon them.

    Silken pillows clustered in the center of the chamber between the tables. I remember from “The Time Machine” that this is where the fairies slept huddled together. I shivered as it #registered that this was also where the Morlocks selected their meals from the helpless fae.

    A broad mezzanine ran beneath the stained-glass windows. I would later discover that dilapidated stairs ascended to it.

    I pointed to the balcony and spoke to Weena in pidgin English. “Sleep, you, me.” I used sign language to help.

    She #laughed, nodded, and said, “Hurburth, foony.”

    #Wss366 Take #TimeTravelAuthors 08/29. craft

    I mulled over my options. Should I follow the flutes? But they gave me the willies. Or should I shout out? That seemed risky. Okay, how about I #take the path? No, if I followed the trail, I would miss my opportunity to investigate the trampled grass.

    Fairy circle it was then.

    The slope leading down through the meadow was gentle. The grass was lush and weed-free. It brushed pleasantly against my legs, making a soft swishing noise. Clover, buttercups, and daisies made the lawn merry. Soon, I found one of many paths leading toward the fairy ring. Occasionally, I saw a fruit rind, a wilted flower chain, or small shoe prints.

    The circle’s bed measured about two meters wide and swung in a lazy curve that would have taken me about five minutes to walk around. The crushed grass gave off a fresh, green scent. It hadn’t been trampled for long.

    As I examined the area, the flute music grew louder. Far from sinister, the tune was familiar, and I found myself humming along: “Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.”

    When I looked toward the sound, I saw a ruined building #crafted of gray, weathered stone rising above the trees and rhododendron thickets. The music seemed to originate from this edifice.

  22. Twelve Months by Jim Butcher

    I've been reading the Dresden Files books ever since college, when I read though all ten that were out to wrap my head around a friend's Dresden Files RPG campaign. They practically threw Storm Front at me and it, along with Shadowrun, sparked off a love of the urban fantasy genre. Twelve Months is the eighteenth Dresden Files novel, and the story picks up shortly after the huge events of the twin 2020 releases, Peace Talks and Battle Ground. The plot largely revolves around Harry Dresden […]

  29. Hi fellow bookstodommers,

    I've been a fan of urban dark fantasy like Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Simon R Green's Night side.

    But I would like to read some more in this genre with non-western European root. So books infused Asian, African or South-American lore.

    Does anyone have any recommendations?
