We met in Duskfall Court

“I sang of the dancing stars,
I sang of the dædal earth,
And of heaven, and the giant wars,
And love, and death, and birth.”

It could only happen here, in the dark woods of The Duskfall Court, where no mortal dares intrude, that we should meet and find each other. We, who are the things they whisper at each other with dread around their bonfires at night, we the monsters and fairies and ghouls, and forgotten gods from far away lands, we become friends, allies, and foes in the deep shadows of Duskfall Court.

Flying together down the sinuous pathways that we call our home, or wandering through the woods ready to ambush some unfortunate traveler who lost their way, our days are always filled with excitement and our friendship grows. Here in Duskfall Court, we aren’t the dreadful monsters. We are valued and cared for, we are loved.

Discover the beauty of the Fairelands… if you dare.

Into the Fairelands

“Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe“

We’ve waited with our eyes full of dreams and memories, we’ve counted the minutes and the seconds, and now it’s time: the portals are open once again and the magic from the Fairelands calls for us, the Fantasy Faire 2024 has begun.

The Faire means many different things for us. For some, it’s all about the fun, meeting fellow “geeks” while playing the ultimate cosplay with our avatars, the parties, the games, the shopping. For others, it’s a way to share our creativity, from the incredibly talented builders who create all these worlds for us to enjoy, the amazing photographers who document the beauty of the lands, the merchants who put effort and love into their creations year by year, to the performers and everyone else who give life to this wonderful dream to support the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer.

We are all here to Relay For Life. The Faire unites us in an effort to contribute to this fight, it unites us in our shared experiences, as we transform the struggles and the pain into beauty and joy. We relay with love, we relay with hope, we relay in the memory of the ones we’ve lost, and for the scars of the ones who survived.

When I relay, I think of the brother who lost his battle so many years ago, his youth taken away and our broken hearts. But I also relay in the name of the sister who survived and is still my dearest friend, and how grateful I am to know that we’re still there, giving each other light. I relay with my husband, who also survived a few years ago and is still the love of my life, my partner, lover, and accomplice, and we relay for so many others in so many other lives, whoever you are. We will never forget you.

Delightful anticip……ation

I could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one’s flesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer, nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the super sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in languorous ecstasy and waited, waited with beating heart.

A pretty girl

Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray:
And, when I crossed the wild,
I chanced to see at break of day
The solitary child.

No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;
She dwelt on a wide moor,
– The sweetest thing that ever grew
Beside a human door!

I don’t blame papa. He left because he thought that I was no child of his, no matter how many times my mother swore and pleaded. I don’t blame mama. She hid me because she wanted to protect me, that small box behind the pantry was an act of love. I didn’t think that when I was little -oh, how I cried, how I cursed- but I understand her now. I don’t blame the witch either. She did nothing more than what was asked of her, it’s not her fault that my mother didn’t follow her instructions well, and I ended up looking like this. All she wanted was for me to be her perfect, pretty girl. I, too, wanted to be her pretty girl.

You yet may spy the fawn at play,
The hare upon the green;
But the sweet face of Lucy Gray
Will never more be seen.

Prose by me

Once a warrior

When long ago I saw her ride
Under Ben Bulben to the meet,
The beauty of her country-side
With all youth’s lonely wildness stirred,
She seemed to have grown clean and sweet
Like any rock-bred, sea-borne bird

She grew up under the shadow of the mountain range, hearing ancient stories about ancient heroes of the land. She had dreams of brave adventures while she learned to wield a sword, and years later she had dreams of bloody vengeance while she lingered in her cell. She’s known freedom and she’s known hell, and she will defend this land with her life.

Quote: “On a political prisoner”, poem by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Prose by me

A dreary night

And ever when the moon was low,
And the shrill winds were up and away,
In the white curtain, to and fro,
She saw the gusty shadow sway.

Sometimes she still wanders the empty rooms at night, breaking the silence with the doors upon their hinges creaking. She peers through the windows on many a rainy night, a dreary night, still waiting for his return. After a while, she remembers, alas, he will not return. She walks back to her bed, slowly and in silence, and she tries to lull herself to sleep. On the morrow, she will visit his grave again, as she does every time she has the dream.

Old faces glimmer’d thro’ the doors,
Old footsteps trod the upper floors,
Old voices call’d her from without.
She only said, “My life is dreary,
He cometh not…”

A forgotten song for Aruok

There was something different about the wind that day, a sweet whisper of rustled leaves, almost a song with familiar notes. Aruok could not remember it, it was less than a memory, like the elusive shadow of a dream lingering behind her eyes for just a heartbeat, before fading away. No, it was not the wind, it was a voice, a sweet choir of voices in a secret call, a summon, stirring her heart and filling her spirit with promise.

Aruok could not tell how long she had been away, exiled in silence and darkness, seasons came and went and the Fairelands with them, becoming a longing for that home that she had lost. But that was in the past. She knew that the portals were open, she could feel it like goosebumps on her skin, in the particular glow of her wings, in the song carried by the wind. And so Aruok took flight, floating through the waves of music, through the mystical portals, through the lands where she had loved life.

With each breath she could feel the very spirit of the Fairelands filling her with warmth, the sunny valley of Sipala was where she belonged, and while she swirled in the air with all the creatures who welcomed her, she promised never to leave again. Her voice joined the choir in the song of hope that had awakened her, calling on all the other lost souls to return.

Old tales

The story behind the painting I drew is already told
No more tearstains on the pages of my diary
Tired but unable to give up since I’m
Responsible for the lives I saved

All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens

Forest dance

Maiden-poet, come with me
To the heaped up cairn of Maeve,
And there we’ll dance a fairy dance
Upon a fairy’s grave.

Venture ahead, brave wanderer, into the depths of my domain. Find the hidden clearing where I reign, where I dance and nature dances with me. Pluck the last fruits before all life begins to wither and fade away.

Wild roses

But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen
I said, “Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?”
