It seemed like there were hundreds of them.
They filled the ballroom floor, cascading across the room in a flood of velvet and lace,
I could still see the obsaity darting in and around their legs, spinning itself in circles as the magical beings twirled and bobbed and spun.
I tried to follow it.
A harpy in a top hat and tail slid suddenly in front of me, blocking the fish from my view.
I reached up a hand to push him out of the way, and... My fingers slipped through his chest.
It was cold.
Not frigid like an icy lake, but cool and thick, like pushing my hand through kinetic sand that's been left outside overnight.
And I knew I'd messed up.
Put my hand on something I wanted so badly, but wasn't meant to touch.
I yanked my hand away and watched in dazed horror as all the color leached from my hand.
And look.
I know it's not real.
These dancers, my hands vanishing before my eyes, the color of my skin melting into the ether.
It's a glamour, right?
What?
But the thing about illusory magic is that you can know, intellectually, something isn't really there, isn't really happening.
But to break it, to shatter its hold, you need to know, down to your bones, in every fiber of your being, what is really real.
What is true.
Which is really freaking difficult the moment you get scared.
