At long last, the night descended on the world, shrouding it in mystery and blackness. The moon hung, a shining silver ball in the sky accompanied by twinkling stars, their light combined to shine on the path of those who came home after dusk. Shortly after the moon was at it's brightest, the night fairies awoke and upon the light, gentle breezes of the night, hanging on large dandelion seeds and with the flying petals of the night flowers, they came hither from their bedding holes and the sheltering leaves of the bushes where they slept, awaiting the farewell of the sun that they may stand in the silvery rays of the moon and dance and glitter and delight the eyes of any who saw them.
Now the windows glowed with the warm light of fire and children sat in a ring around their parents who held thick books in their calloused hands and told tales of times long past and times to come, of adventures and mysteries and fantastic happenings... And the children listened with eagerness, laughing and gasping at the doings of the people of old and new. And soon, the clock struck for bedtime, and all the little children were tucked into bed with a kiss on the forehead with a prayer and a wish for sweet dreams.
