    In all that time, they have never danced.

    Summary

    Binx, Andhera has always thought, is not entirely at ease in the darkness. She thrives in dimness, to be sure, the cozy in-between spaces where the light just barely brushes, where your eyes must adjust, and then you see. They are accustomed to roaring fires throwing gentle shadows over the walls, the relative privacy of a nook lit by a dusty, half-dead reading lamp, or the little hook of space beneath an umbrella on a grey and cloudy day. Binx is comfortable in semi-darkness, but she cultivates light. It is, Andhera thinks, one of their most admirable qualities.

    Summary

    The private meadow is resplendent with flowers. Pink, lavender, brilliant azure and magically kaleidoscopic petals fill the space. It is deliberately, delicately cultivated; a walking path carved through the cacophony of color, with a wingback stone bench at one end, an elaborate trellis surrounding it, wreathed in vines and flowers. And there, sitting alone on the bench, is the beast.

    Summary

    Conflicting emotions warring with duty to one's king and kin are difficult for any one goblin to deal with. Everything is much more difficult when one is not, in fact, one goblin.
