Swift (35 page)
Left alone in the gentle darkness, he let out a long breath and allowed himself, finally, to relax. He still didn’t understand how the girl had recognised him as a faery, or what had inspired her to bring him here. He doubted she even realised what a perfect refuge she’d found for him. But he could sense the ancient charm against magical intrusion that surrounded the place, even if he didn’t know who had put it there, and knew that for the moment at least, he was safe.
He fell back onto his bed of straw, and in minutes was deeply and dreamlessly asleep.
