WELCOME TO LALILAND
Laliland is an island on half a planet in an alternate dimension. We have access to it thanks to a wormhole that opened up inside of my head. It is a magical land, full of all kinds of wonderful places to explore.

THE SKY
In the sky was the wormhole. &
Also in the sky were the three
Fat suns & thirteen little moons.
The first sun was the biggest. It
Glowed purple and rose early as
The songbirds. The second two suns
Rose together, blue & red &
Much smaller. The stars were in the
Sky also. All of them different
Sizes & different colors. The
Three suns crisscrossed overhead with
Varying brightness, promoting
Themselves as the makers of mood
& the givers of sight, even
When things got purple tinted
As the big one came around. The
Moons were everywhere. Some seen
Always, & some seen so rarely
That their existence was doubted.
The moons pulled the tides in every
Direction, but they made the moods
Swing clockwise. From the top of the
Mountain or higher, all the currents
Could be seen to build a spiral,
& the spiral lined up nice with
The tongue, so everything flowed smooth
The same way, even when it felt
All out of sorts. The Cloud People
Helped with that. The Cloudfolk lived in
The sky. Cloud People all know plenty,
But they only tell what they know
Through what they do, & even then,
All that can really be done is
Make guesses as to their knowing.
Cloudfolk were the ones who made the
Dreams. They also made the weather.
On the island, these two were the
Same. The Cloud People made the dreams
Depending on the weather, &
The weather depending on the
Dreams. If the dreams were nasty, then
The weather would be too. & if
The weather was wonderful, then
Everyone’s dreams would be too. So,
Whatever was felt everyone
Would feel & whatever everyone
Was feeling would be felt. Whether
Through weather or not. The Cloudfolk
Never came down from the sky, but
They sometimes brought people to them
In dreams. While dreaming, a person
Would feel their body separating
From itself, & they could look at
Their body as they floated away
From it to where the Cloud People
Were. Once someone was up there with
The Cloudfolk, they’d be told some vague
& poignant thought in a bleak expanse
Of fluff, & the Cloud People would
Nod in sync and then send them back.
When someone was brought to them, the
Cloudfolk would usually be
Sitting at this big long table
Like a council of elders, all
On one side so they were facing
The person, & the person would
Usually feel real minimized
By their position in the scene.
All except one Cloud Person, who
Sat on the other side of the
Table with his back facing the
Visitor. It was unknown as
To why. What the Cloudfolk said was
Very important & timely
& it would not be understood
By the visiting person for
Years or decades or never. Thanks,
Weatherman! The only creatures
Who did not seem to live on the
Planet’s island oasis were
The giants. So tall were they that
Their heads were far above sight &
Through the Cloud People’s realm. Their feet
Could crush the whole of Gnorlia
With a single stomp, & they had
Before, at least partially. But
To the benefit of Gnorlians
& other island living folk,
The Giants passed through only once
Every few hundred years, or less,
& sometimes passed the whole of the
Island over in one generous
Stride. These were the mysteries &
Well-knowns of the island. Now that
You know them, the stories that took
Place there can finally be told.

EAVO
Eavo. The mountain. The island’s
Towering mammoth. Untouchable
& serene. On the island it
Was imagined that a pool of
Smooth and petal rested atop
Eavo, waiting for travelers to
Take a dip & soak; an act which
Was said to make one immortal.
But none had proved the fantasy.
Some had been near the top, where the
Kaziras swarmed. Those cats crowded
In a nest of bones & ferns &
Somebody’s poor luck. & below
The minacious, rocky terrain
Of the Kazira, the trees began.
This was what was left of the forest
Which had stretched across most of the
Island before the humans came
Crashing. Akamari. These trees
Had rivers in them which asked them
To reach like archers. Trees who could
Feel & grasp in an instant. Who
Could make an opinion & act
On it & did so. The trees would
Evaluate all the mountain’s
Climbers. Any who came scouting
Were sensed by the trees & judged. Those
Who passed judgment were helped to reach
Their destination. Akamari
Trees were good at building stairs from
Their moving limbs. Easy for a
Traveler to step upon. Those
Who did not pass judgment were served
Unfortunate fates. Usually,
A tree would grab their leg, take hold
& fling them as far from Eavo
As the tree could manage, which was
Usually very very
Far. The trees were brightly colored,
Sugar-coated, & big fans of
Jazz. They could see the intent of
Anyone who mingled with the
Forest, & they could not be lied
To. They glowed bright, & liked to dance.
Big wiggling bods. They all lived in
Harmony, making tunes together.
This was a wonder to behold.
& when one died, all of them would
Mourn, & watch the dying tree make
The transition into its new
Life. When an Akamari tree
Died, it became a Vampire. A
Vampire who drank potential time
From its victims, shortening their
Lifespan, or just ending it. The
Previously-tree Vampires were
Then immortal, & would spend their
Days trapped in a mirage of endless
Cynicism. Akamari
Trees did not die easily or
Often, so thankfully the island’s
Residents did not come into
Contact with many Vampires.
Those who did were a cursed few.
Eavo’s tongue was a clean, easy
Stream that broke only the Wildernests.
It spiraled down the mountain &
Reached the sea — from the mountain’s peak
To the island’s leftern shore. It
Had no swimmers or sifters or
Living within. Bridges were built
Over it. & Though it was left
Unsaid, it seemed that most knew to
Leave it be entirely. Thus,
It flowed along beautiful &
Repelling, emanating the
Scent of bloom & dead bug. Its
Contents would have reached the ocean
Effortlessly if it weren’t for
Monarch Bay and its inhabitants.

CAVES
The base of the mountain housed the
Caves of the insects who, loyal,
Wrote the stories of Before in
A script only known by readers
Of the Voices. The Insects, once
Essential to the island’s health,
Now performed menial tasks of
Terrestrial upkeep. They were
Forgotten by most. The insects
Were large as milk trees. They moved slow
As stone, and all their wings had been
Withered to dust in the Piercing.
Their tapered legs bore small holes into
Silken cave grounds. Their backs were as
Hard as metal. They had no secrets
But none could remember how to speak.

ISLE OF THE DEAD
The dead lived on the Isle &
Were souls without form. The souls were
Many, but they were not crowded.
Instead they easily passed through
One another, & thought not of
Their selfness or their sameness. Dead
Of the old world & new campers
Too. It was rumored that the isle
Was composed of precious minerals —
Like ash & fears & obsidian
& hard milk. The floor was fog. What
Fell always was snow, feather-like
& from no source. You did not catch
It on your tongue. It made you choke.
If you wanted to talk to a
Soul, you could go there & find them.

FAE WOOD
The woods were borne of secrecy
& coalition. The Fae had
Found their strength in isolation.
They grew smart during the Piercing.
In the tangled that was the wood,
The Fae found pockets to slip in
The same way thieves hide their stolen.
Phasing blithely from one dimension
To the next, not paper light but
Heavy in their cackles. The Fae
Made bells & ringing, & small lights
In flickering distance: Calls to
The passerby. Oh, how they fooled
& entrapped. Not for cruelty’s
Sake, but for the thrill that came from
Tempting the fates & playing a
Person’s will. Good marked the fae. Truly!
But scorn & temperament too.
They were still devilish. This was
Their nature. Uniqueness & hidden
Passages in soul — Same as their
World. Fae were half on-island &
Half off; As ethereal as
Cloudfolk. Warmer though, & farther
Away. To enter the Fairy
Qwingdom, a person had to be
Palm led to the door by a fae.
Once through, the person would shrink to
The size of the fae or smaller,
& become rich in the senses.
Taste sound touch like an apocalypse.
Those who entered the Qwingdom would
Live there for centuries & come out
Only days older than they were
Going in. Such as it is with
Shrinking & growing in succession.
The woods themselves, the ones not through
That elusive doorway, were the
Terror of navigators. Never
Wide enough to pass through, never
The same as they were moments ago.
They hosted creatures a dozen,
As old & unsightly as the
Fae themselves. The woods were home to
Myths most of all. & as all know,
Myths are the most terrifying
Beast for a lost & wandering fool.

RED
Red Sea was infantile. A
Tantrum of a body, thick with
The unkind & untimely. Its
Water was as thick as blood, &
Smelled of the rot of centuries.
Little lived within, except a
Breed of maleficent mermaids —
Human hungry & merciless.
Alluring when they wished to be;
They called ignorant sea-gazers
To their deaths with songs of delight.
Lazer teeth, iridescent black tails.
They were why none swam in the sea
Nor played at its shores. Them or the
Tales told of swimmers who went in
Red Sea & came back different.
The Red was called as such because
The humans’ crashing ship had dyed
The land that color. & the land
Had spilled out into the water
& dyed the water also. &
The red of the land made the humans
Call it Red, & the red of the
Sea made the humans call it Red,
& so it was Red City & Sea.
The city was sectioned into
Parts. Luvanti and Pekafonte
In one. Downtown in the next. &
Gristaline in the third. Humans
Died in the same place they were born
& they never learned anything
Other than what they were told to learn.
The place where Red City met Tuli
Was called Luvanti. It was a
Sparse & scattered villa of those
Who would pretend to be royal,
Despite having descended from
Servants. These people lived in the
Future. With all the latest &
Most recent devices. All old
As soon as they were touched. Houses
With character, & moving limbs.
Yards that would ache, crack & sizzle.
Hillsides with computer bodies.
Remote control skies that blocked the
Three circulating Suns. Luvanti
People stayed in their groaning homes,
& had no time that was not free.
Pekafonte rested just Down,
Like a maternal hug to the
City’s ornament. It would dwell,
Humble in an aura of retreat.
Here was where humans went when they
Took the true & caregiving road.
It was also home to those whose
Minds were set & unwavering;
Who prefered good weather to a
Conversation. The neighbors knew
Each other's names, but did not stay
To chat. The houses were small, &
The flowers were many, & most
Were quiet & serene. Neither
Pekafonte nor Luvanti
Was watched much by the Spies.
Alternatively, Downtown had
No quiet & no privacy.
Here most all the humans lived &
Here they were always watched. Of course.
Here was where the action happened.
Downtown’s Buildings towered. The sky
Was smogful & choking. Humans
Rode in flying cars & bet paper
Of invented value on games
Of gold & nail. All of them were
Betters born from crooks. Many were
Miserable and many would
Politely pretend not to be
So they would not feel the big weight
Of making others miserable
By expressing their misery.
In Gristaline, the poor & moaning
Wept & crawled, unwatched by the Spies.
The people there lived in the Past,
Like a raisin or a blister.
None of them had seen what the Up
Held, nor the future, because they
Had convinced themselves they could not
Go there. But the spies had seen Up
& the future & the middle
& the below as well because
They had to, for their job. They passed
Through Gristaline often, since it
Was on the edge of Fae Wood, where
The Spies’ headquarters were hidden.
They always moved through it quickly,
With their noses plugged up tightly.
Red City was ruled by Spies, though
None who lived there knew it. The Spies
Kept tabs & made things civil, &
The humans were happy, & so
All lived & died there without question
Or concern— excepting a few
Who were rebellious & a
Few who were lucky. Red City
Was almost all humans. The few
Magical creatures who lived there
Did their best to blend in. Red City
Humans were accustomed to a
World that mimicked their old. All was
Technology & craft. Big hungry
Money-ships and sparkling lights. The
Humans ate & poisoned & so on.
According to the citizens
Of Red City, the island’s Left
Was a dangerous place. Somewhere
Wrought with monsters & mysteries
& fit for none to live. Humans
Of Red City regarded all
Non-humans as grotesque, abnormal,
& invalid, though few had ever
Met one. Kaziras were the one
Non-human species to brew in
Red City undisturbed and in
Multitudes. This was only ‘cause
Kaziras love to be where they
Should not be. Humans hated the
Kaziras which delighted the
Kaziras. The few humans who
Did befriend the Kaziras would
Ride around on the Kaziras
& do a lot of screaming. Those
Humans were their own breed. The Spies
Had to make a lot of deals with
The Kaziras to keep them from
Flying humans over to the
Leftern side of the island, but
They managed. Kaziras loved to
Cause trouble. The Spies did much to
Ensure that no humans traveledTo the other side of the island.
The main way they did this was by
Making Red City so full of
Stimulation that no one had
The time or thought power to think
Of escaping their utopian
Tomb. That is why Downtown had so
Many flashing lights, neon signs,
High-pitched buzzing sounds, flash mobs, gun
Shops, steamrollers driving through the
Streets, flying marching bands, sports teams,
Automated street performers,
Useless skill seminars, self-help
Conventions, synthetic drugs, gang
Warfare, grassroots political
Movements, orgies, long lines, food banks
With no food, liberal arts colleges,
Parades, public transportation,
Protests, free film screenings, skate parks,
Mechanical lovers for hire,
Monkey carnivals, volunteer
Work opportunities, artisan
Bazaars, new-age religions, &
An endless supply of mega
Phones. The citizens did not know
They were being monitored or
Controlled. If anyone were to
Try & tell them, they would likely
Plug ears & turn tail. According
To a Red City civilian,
Theirs was a land where everyone
Had the power to live as they
Choose. To them, they were not ruled or
Governed. They had representatives,
& they maintained their order by
Working together. However,
No one in Red City did much
To help anyone else ever.
But they all felt free enough that
They could help if they wanted to,
Which made them all think of themselves
As very helpful. Red City
Was scoundrels and big fish, gobbling
& building only to be smooshed
Flat by the next trendy battle.
The city changed fast. The people
With claim were rotating shifts, &
The whole of it was hard to keep
Up with. But two things did remain
Unchanging: the city’s ideals
Of freedom, & the secretive
Ruling fist of the Spies. Oh, such
A tragic trap of irony.
The Spies controlled all. They chose when
A trend ought to go running, &
When it was a businessman’s time
To fall. They told the schools what to
Teach & the jobs what to make work
& they twisted all until the
People called the rules they followed
Rights & gods they worshiped Liberties.
If someone tried to go beyond
The bounds of Red City, the Spies
Killed them & painted it like an
Accident. Few knew of the Spies'
Existence, though legends squirmed the
Alleys. The spies had cameras,
Floating around invisible,
Or hidden in the watches &
Phones & cars & bootstraps that the
Humans carried round with them or
Were carried round in. On occasion
A human learned too much — found a
Camera, or saw a thing they
Shouldn’t have. So they were taken
Out, a process which involved organ
Harvesting. But if the human
Seemed especially fit, they might
Have been offered a job. When a
Human became a Spy, their things
Were sold to pawn shops, their name was
Sold to fairies, & their soul was
Sold to The Isle of the Dead.
Their face and features would get blanked
Out like a wall, and they were given
A black suit and hat and plenty
Of cheese to keep them happy. Friends
& family had memory
Washed. If they resisted these changes,
They would join those who were tortured
Till they were filth. When people went
Missing in Red City, it was
Never a surprise. Usually
The Spies used the opportunity
To spin a tale about the missing
Person attempting to travel
Beyond the bounds of Red City
& getting gobbled by giants
& goblins & big mean dragons.
This did wonders for the fear that
Ensured everyones’ staying put.

TULI
Tuliville sat Up from Whereville.
& it kept on thick with bustle.
It was known that Tuliville had
The goods. The village was a sweet
Collection of homesteads mostly
Occupied by elves, the sporadic
Escapee of Red City, &
Any alien or fauna
With a gem of a heart. Treasured
Gilligosters wandered town when
Suns were up, offering embraces
With arms open like unfurling
Petals, soft & warm to the touch.
When moons were up, the Gilligosters
Slumbered in well rounded holes, breathing
Slow with twisting horns & big figures.
The town boasted roaming animals,
Memorials to the gladdening
Past, & community gardens.
The elves liked to think of themselves.
They used big words & shot long arrows.
They were, to themselves, great in a
Conversation. To others, they
Were good with their hands & their crafts,
Their trinkets & material.
Most avoided talking to them.
The wood beside the town was quiet
Other than the rustling of the
Soft footed & wide eyed passing
Through every so often. Peaceful,
Observant. Here the elves lived in
Treehouses with bridges stretching.
Graceful as a spider’s web. The
Creatures living here did not worry.
They knew the world could be unkind
In multitudes, but they also
Knew that sanctuaries could be
Made, & kept by those who wished for
Them & made them sweet. The water
That surrounded the Left they called
Tuli Sea. It went from Tuli
Forest’s middle, to the starting
Depths of Fae Wood, & it ended
Where the water met the fog. Within
Lived sea monsters of old, expanded
In the ocean. Went from being
Vein dwellers to belly-livers.
Massive & carnivorous they were.

WHEREVILLE
Whereville was full of werefolk, big
& small, loose & tight & scrunchy.
Werefolk were born with half their selves
Animal & the other half
Human-like, because Whereville was
Where deviants went when Red City
Got civil. Half-breeds & alien
Lovers & folks fused with foreign
Objects because of a sky-sent
Mutation via piercing & hole.
The werefolk howled at the many
Moons & grew rabid when the cosmos
Said to. & some also buzzed &
Some barked or burped or ribbited.
& the possibles of the creatures
There were as endless as the waves.
This home for the unadjusted—
Aliens, mutants, hybrids, &
Criminals, outcats & werefolk—
Was racketed; A smash for thorns.
Grovels & shacks & warehouses
Toppling over. Corners with sculptures
Who, interactive, snatched at the
Passerby’s loose cloths & barked names
They could not have known. A place one
Went for potions, hexes, the cursed.
It also had a big sports scene.
A brutal arena where they
Made the insects go at each other,
Ignorant to the insects’ smarts.
Like many, they just see dumb logs
Lumbering with exoskeletons.

FLOATING LAND
The Floating Lands were made when the
Humans came, & as war ended,
They settled. Fat clumps, sculpted &
Molded & lifted into Air.
Hovering rocks bobbing in the
Upleftern chunk of the island’s
Disgrace. On them, the dragons built
Temples with a myriad of
Ornate caves. Spots carved with old words
& stories of the island’s birth.
In them, the dragons sat reciting
Poetry of woe and brute wit.
The Elementals sat with them
& listened. The dragons saw their
Admiration and so chose to
Teach them of the island’s Voices.
The gods of the elements. Thus,
The name was earned. More rebels in
Non rebellious places. The
Dragons were traditionalists.
Courteous, rule-following, &
Polite. They never made squabbles,
& friendships neither. They refined
Their taste til it suffocated.
Their poetry was written on
Scrolls made from the fine pressed bark of
Akamari trees, harvested
With the diligence of a flog.
These scrolls held calligraphy of
The Voices’ script, translated into
Dragonic poems & written
With ink of dew & butterfly tears.
Dragons always had their nails done
Nicely, & they took care to speak
Mellifluous & fashionably.
They held their mouths as if acorns
Sat inside them, rounding out all
The corners. Dragons perfected
Any art they set out to learn.
Give them a pen, brush, or chainsaw,
They would make it elegant. They
Loved delicate sculptures, choral
Music, & written verse most of
All. They sat in decorated
Halls & performed for one another,
& the Elementals would sit
Like children. Enchanted humans
Of loyalty and devotion.
The Elementals had shaved heads,
Robes of like colors, & all vowed
To live in harmony with their
Reptilian brethren. Respect
Existed between the two parties,
Strange as it were. & although the
Elementals were pupils, them
& the Dragons worked as one. Like
Dragons, Elementals were each
Attached to one of the Voices
At birth, chosen however the
Polytheic draconian
Wheel may turn. The Elementals
Were taught to worship their Voice &
Learn the ways of its element
So they could try for working towards
A unification with their
Element, which no Elemental
Ever accomplished, but each believed
To be possible. The dragons
& the elementals & their
Society in the air. The
Floating Lands & their grace. The scarred
& dashing hills, the moss that dripped
To the island below. The dragons
& the Elementals lived by
Routine & rule. They each woke at
A certain time of day, pertaining
To their element, & went through
A series of actions of worship,
Pertaining to their element,
Which would be the start to their day.
Then they would eat the food that fed
The element best, & they would
Thank their Voice for bringing it to
Them. Each would live on the Floating
Land devoted to their unique
Element, though some of The Floating
Lands were split into multiple
Elements, as there were only
Nine Floating Islands, & thirteen
Different Voices. The dragons
Could have made enough islands to
Match the number of Voices, but
They didn’t. Because there were nine
Islands in the Floating Lands, &
That was the way things were. & the
Dragons liked things left as they were.

WILDERNESTS
After the Gnorlian invasion,
Some Witches found themselves in the
Wildernests. But they were spread thin
& did not find each other. But
Other things were found, such as pause,
Stillness, the blowing of grass, &
A rumble ever so often
Of tunnels groaning underfoot.
Grass on the island was covered
In holes so small that one had to
Lift a blade to the eye to see
Them. The Wildernests had grass a
Dozen. Those fields that lay between
Where the Witches once were and where
Whereville then was had the tongue running
Through them like a blade. It was said:
Here the Voices sang loudest. Like
A jacketing cat’s caw, or the
Conscious of a sweetheart performing
A misdeed. That is why so few
Made their home here, leaving them wide
Open like Breadth. Thus the Wildernests
Were for wanderers. Some would travel
Through these parts headed Down & Right,
Looking for the fabled fountain
Upstream. Others avoided them
Completely, as they did not want
To be alone with their listening
To all the Voices’ holy song.
Others simply had no time to
Travel through the consecrated
Wildernests, & so they did not.

GNORLIA
The Gnorlians stayed & made home
In what was once the Witch’s Land.
They built a castle of brick, stone,
& clay & called it Gnorlia.
There they died & were born & died
Again. The parasite was born
& died with them, deep clutched to spines
From infancy to elderhood.
& the Gnor Parasite remained
Hungry for emotion; Especially
For feelings too big for a body
To contain. If it ate enough
Feeling, then it could grow big and
Take over the host like it had
Done before. For this reason, the
Gnorlians learned to keep from feeling.
Gnorlians suppress so the Gnor
Never sings. The falsity of
Function. Stiffened up in their pearls &
Opulence; consumed by aesthetics.
Beauty was their solace & succor.
As long as all soothed, the Gnor could
Not take power. So long as they
Were calm & controlled, Gnorlians
Remained in human form, wings &
Tentacles in hiding. But if
A Gnorlian found itself lost,
Angry, enamored, panicked, or
Even too full of joy, the Gnor
Would swallow their human-ness &
They would go full blown monster. Swell
Up & ooze pours & fire’s breathed &
What’s lost is all ability
To reason or think regular.
So they had to be restrained, always.
Else loose themselves to the little
Creature feeding on them from within.
The children had some empathy
Left in them. Not yet shut down for
Safety’s sake. The Gnor’s influence
Grows into them as they grow. The
Grown are past gone. Dry paint. Glazed &
Blank. With corsets, leather shoes, fat
Wigs & white powder.
Their kingdom, walled in, encircled,
Was as protected as it was
Lavish. Gold encrusted ceilings.
Walls made of satin, lace curtains,
Indoor waterfalls, archways, Rose
Gardens, long winding staircases.
They had to uphold an image;
A posture. Else fall victim to
The parasite who ate on the
Feelings greedy-like. To be grotty
Inspired humiliation —
A taste that the parasite loved.
The kingdom had a Center, &
In Center there was a Castle
Where King Gnor rested on his throne
& saw to the shivers of none.
Center was circled by towers
Of Princesses & the families
That birthed them — all bred to rule &
Serve King Gnor, who was recycled
Each new generation by the
Previous King’s son. As it was
In the world of the old Humans,
As it was for these, so tied to
The tradition that was their truth.
Further out from Center were the
Gnorlians who became peasants. Here
It was often discussed how these
Gnorlians became peasants while
Others became Princesses, yet
All were once the same: Humans from
A sky ship, stranded then banished.
But the discussion would fall flat
Before answers, as it tended
To arouse the big uglies of
Feelings. & Gnorlians preferred
To remain in the safety of
Numbness. For though they were more than
Human, they still had humanness
In them, & with humanness comes
Fear & plenty of it. So no
Gnorlian ever left their small
Kingdom, except for the babes who
Were swept up in the night by crawlers,
& the occasional princess
Who left to join the kid pirates.
As for the adults, the world would
Have made a monster out of them.

EMPTY SPACE
Humans infected by the Gnor
Became the Gnorlians, & this
Is how they appeared: Like a staff.
The first generation, after
Exile, wandered to the Left,
Their bewilderment growing. &
When the parasite got a taste
Of that monumental feeling,
It became the first drop of fuel
For the feeding brood. Sustenance
For the intrusive eater of
Whimsy. & so the Gnor’s hunger
For feeling was born, & it was
A hunger so strong it bred madness
In its host. Billowing madness,
Which swallowed the host body up.
The madness gave the Gnorlians
Wings, breath of fire, gripping tentacles,
& black ooze seeping from unkempt
& odious pores. Soon they were
Newborn, newly formed & flailing
Into the village of Witches.
Screeching bodies coming forth like
A wave; a great storm Descending.
The Witches knew it was coming,
& knew it would take them regardless,
So they fought not & let the killing
Be quick. Some Witches stood until
They were faceless. Others found the
Ground & kissed it one final time.
A small few found escape. These few
Went Downwards, toward the wood of Fae.
Ah, Witches: Weavers of Illusion—
A greater misery, but lesser
Struggle. The Fae saw their crisis
& welcomed them, & in the wood
These Witches made Empty Space. A
Land which was nothing other than
What a person thought it to be.
This made it kind to the mortals
Who were kind, & cruel to those who
Were cruel. Those who knew its tricks were
Made holy for a time, & those
Who found themselves within it by
Accident, never again found
Themselves. This was the trick of the
Survivors: The Witches who made
Sanctuary in the between.
