Janet

Tam Lin

Fairy Queen

Carterhaugh

Fairy Host

Halloween

Summer hush hangs over Carterhaugh, where Janet rides beneath broad oaks.

Tam Lin steps from shadow, steady gaze, voice low with warning and charm.

A chill wind lifts leaves, as distant bells tremble like a promise.

Carterhaugh Meeting

Rustle lingers as bells fade under Tam Lin's careful words.

He says the Fairy Queen holds him, a mortal bound to riders.

On Halloween, the Fairy Host will ride, and Janet must claim him.

Hoofbeats drum in the wind, like a clock already starting.

The Warning

Hoofbeats swell on Halloween moonlight as Janet waits at Carterhaugh's crossroads.

The Fairy Host streams past, silent faces bright, silver bridles chiming.

Tam Lin rides among them, jaw set, eyes searching for her.

Cold bells scatter the dark, and Janet reaches for his sleeve.

The Night Ride

Her fingers burn as Janet drags Tam Lin from the saddle.

He writhes into a wolf, fur bristling, and she holds him tighter.

He becomes a serpent, a flood of water, and still she grips.

When fire roars in her arms, she remembers the bells and breathes.

The Transformations

The flames collapse into Tam Lin, shivering and mortal in the dew.

Janet wraps him in her cloak, eyes steady on the Fairy Queen.

The Fairy Queen rages, yet the law of dawn breaks her claim.

Birdsong returns to Carterhaugh, and two free riders face the morning.
