"In the forest, the gentle, simple magic feels familiar, but unstable. Some of the other creatures, too, have their debts to the Moss Crone, but theirs is thralldom: they are--and will remain--her familiars. There is an assurance of welcome, but with a faintly perceptible menace that seems attendant to the dappling of light on the path. One cannot discern whether the light approaches or recedes. Like a reflection, the key appears."
