The Last Keyholder Chapter One
To say that Tengan was blind was, at the very least, misleading: he was blind only in the strictly physical sense—he had been born without eyes. The Kamigumo had seen fit to take them while he was still in his mother's womb and replace them with starlight. In doing so, They had blessed him with the Sight, enhancing his senses beyond even the acuity of dragons. But even among the Sighted, he was blessed; Tengan's starlight eyes perceived the world as if with the eyes of the Weavers Themselves: he saw in all directions at once, in every spectrum of light. Despite having no eyes, he had perceived more in his thirty years of life than most sighted beings dreamed throughout their entire lives.

On the rare occasions we are fed something decent, there is a rush of people trying to buy or barter for the "good tray." Thanksgiving and Christmas trays, with their extra portion of real turkey meat, rolls, and extra cake with white icing can be sold for as much as $10.

Why There Are Evergreens
Long ago, when the world was still young and the Wheel of the Year had only just been set to turning, every tree in the Goddess's endless forest would begin shedding their canopy at the onset of autumn. By winter's arrival, Her realm would be a stark landscape of skeletal branches and bare trunks. Nothing green would be seen again until the Wheel turned toward Eostara.
