Old Daniel Callaghan had never married or had children. He was feeling lonelier than he ever had, and knew that death was probably close at hand but in meeting a fey woman by the lake of his childhood home, discovered that life had an astonishing gift in store for him.The archway to the forest stood like a dark and forbidden sentry as the old man ambled slowly through the entrance to the forest. The forest was cool and he was drawn into the verdant green world of long ago, into a distant past where he had played as a boy.
A shadow moved into the light and suddenly old Daniel Callaghan realised a woman was standing near the edge. Lilláen’s graceful figure shone from out near the lake. Death was too close for comfort, so he stumbled towards her.
‘Your day has come,’ she whispered as the mist closed around him.
