JACK
"There are a few cottages an' other houses in the woods," Jack is saying around a cigarette from his place at the wheel, having taken over so they can circle the Greatwood and get a proper view of the region before they start to descend in towards the skyport. "But most Fae live in the trees. Once we're a little lower you might be able to see some."
For now, though, against the dying light of day the woods really are set ablaze, a mix of sunset and Leafchange colour turning the forest into a blanket of red and ochre and green. Between it ribbons of blue shimmer and churn as the Stone Symphony wends itself between islands and spills out into the Saltkiss, but Jack is pointing towards one tree in particular. "There's the Mathair," he says absently.
It shouldn't be possible to pick one tree out of a forest of them, but it's equally impossible to miss the Leafchange deity in her leafier form.
