The Fairy men happily shook his hand in greeting.
Orion spoke first. “Good eve to you, Rowan Sultmhor, the lusty one. We bring greetings from your grandmother and the rest of your family. Your parents have asked us to pass on a message.”
“Which is?”
“That they are heartily sorry for not having tried to be more persuasive with your grandmother. They were ordered to stay away from you and keep themselves deep within the mountains while your grandmother, our illustrious queen, made up her mind concerning you and your lovely witch! Then, she bid them stay away until your child was born, and during the first months of the baby’s life. It was our queen’s wish that you and your mate have time alone. However, your parents and your extended family finally have permission to see you. They are eager to meet your mate, the lusty one. They are most ecstatic to meet the new baby…in your woods…on the eve of Samhain,” Orion finished, with a cordial nod toward Sky.
“That explains where my parents were all this time,” Rowan mused. “I thought the queen might have told them to stay away. Now, I know for sure.”
“Indeed, the lusty one!” Rigel confirmed.
“The lusty one?” Sky queried as she turned to Rowan with her hands crossed over her chest.
“It’s my surname, love. Sultmhor in Fairy Gaelic means lusty, happy and even joyful. These gentlemen weren’t referring to my sexual habits back in the Fairy Realm.”
“Of course we were!” Orion proclaimed. “Why, there was never a more randy Faun to tumble a magical lass. Roman Sultmhor’s antics are legendary where we come from.”
“Uh…that’s quite enough about my former life,” Rowan proclaimed as he made slashing, shut-up gesture across his throat.
Sky sidled up to him. “We’ll talk about your former antics later. For now, I suggest you gentlemen say your goodbyes to my aunts, and get yourselves back into the Fairy Realm; before the queen takes exception to you being gone. We need to get ready for Rowan’s parents, since you were good enough to bring news of their coming. I’m sure you understand!”
“No,” both men gaily and simultaneously announced.
Sky stood there, staring at them with her mouth open.
Rigel held out his hand in supplication. “The queen says that, as long as Rowan has done so well in this world, we can stay if we want to. That’s why, after these goodly ladies summoned us, the queen bid us to bring a message from the lusty one’s parents. Their arrival is imminent.” Rigel glanced between Rowan and Sky. “We are invited to be here. There is no mistake. The spell these lovely ladies cast was quite insistent. We could have ignored it, but why in the world would we? Eartha and Windy are both so…cuddly.”
“Quite true!” Orion added.
“Oh, no…not again!” Sky whined, then sighed in frustration.
“Why don’t we settle this tomorrow? It’s late in the night and if the Fairies won’t go now, there’s no using arguing over it,” Rowan suggested.
Against her arguments, Rowan talked Sky into going back to bed, and their fast-asleep child. Despite the evening’s shenanigans, Sky soon rested again, in her comfortable space beside him.
An hour later, however, Rowan was still listening to Windy and Eartha, and the two Butterfly Fairies. Apparently the four of them had set up a wild game of chase, through the garden. When it became decidedly quiet an hour afterward, Sky sat up.
“It’s too quiet. What, by the stars, do you think those men are doing with my aunts?” she asked.
Rowan suppressed a grin. “Snuggle back in, my love. Get some rest. Your aunts are adults and so are those men.”
“Do you think they’re…you couldn’t possibly think that Eartha and Windy would…would they?”
“Sky, my darling witch, it’s their business. If they’re happy, why interfere?”
When he rolled on top of her, Sky sighed and spread her thighs. “I guess this is what comes of incorrect spelling.”
Rowan burst out laughing, then proceeded to reintroduce her the delights that such a wonderful mistake had to offer.

About Fairy Rings…
In Incorrect Spelling, Rowan Sultmhor mentions that he comes into our world through a Fairy Ring, on the back part of Sky Pyewackett’s property.
What is a Fairy Ring?
These are natural occurring phenomenon. At least, that’s what scientists tell us.
Technically, Fairy Rings are patches of barren land, or differently colored grass, that has been surrounded by darker tufts of grass or even mushrooms. Such formations may appear in perfect circular patterns, or they may be oddly shaped with mushrooms scattered at the edges. Fairy Rings can form almost anywhere, including lawns and even desert environments. Scientists tell us that that these odd rings are formed by soil inhabiting bacterium called Basidiomycetes.
Fairy Rings can range in diameter from a few inches to many yards across.
What if Fairy Rings are actually something else? What if there is another explanation for their appearance in our world?
Legends about these strange rings have filtered down through every culture. According to many traditions, these are rings formed by Fairies (hence the name), so that the wee folk can enter into our world. They are like portals. Fairies are said to cavort in such places.
It’s said that, for any human to be caught inside a Fairy Ring during either twilight or dawn, is quite dangerous. Since twilight and dawn are magically in-between times (neither full night nor full day), these two periods are times when the veils between our world and the Fairy domain are quite thin. Because the veils are thin, it’s easier for magical beings to drift between our reality and their own.
To be caught in a
Fairy Ring, at either twilight or dawn, is to risk being taken away by the Fairies forever. Such formations are also referred to as Elf or Pixie Rings. In Germany, they were sometimes referred to as witches’ rings. In France, they may have been referred to as sorcerers’ rings. There is hardly a country that does not have its own stories regarding these odd formations.
