Here's todays excerpt:

It wasn’t hard to find the celebration. The fires could be seen from the castle. Glenna hastened to the forest where the largest fire roared, sending its orange glow high into the trees.

She ducked behind a tree as a couple came into view. Both wore masks and naught else. Their passion was palpable, and Glenna had no wish to alert them to her presence.

With silent steps she walked closer to the fire, hidden behind a huge stone. Moira and Frang stood by the fire, their hands raised to the sky while other Druids danced around a large mound of earth.

Glenna had never seen anything like it before. She pushed back the hood of her cloak to see better. Grass, greener than any she had ever seen, covered the mound. Something pulled at her soul, and she closed her eyes.

Magic.

Magic flowed pure and fierce from the mound. Her eyes opened at a hissing sound. Bright white light poured from a slit that suddenly opened in the mound. Then, many colored lights flew from the slit.

The colored lights soared fast and furious around the Druids and forest. The brightest came to stand in front of Moira and Frang. The white light surrounding the being diminished, and Glenna could make out a human form.

The woman was more beautiful than mere words. Her hair glowed like gold that hung past her hips. Her face was perfection, as though an artist had created her.

A glance around showed Glenna the bright lights had weakened to reveal many more beautiful beings. This is what Moira had told her about. These beings were from the Otherworld where magic was a way of life and didn’t need to be hidden like it did here.

Glenna wanted to speak to one of these beings, to ask ... she didn’t know what she wanted to ask. She just wanted, nay, needed to be near one.
