“Lilith, what an idiot! She believes she has descended from the realm of faeries,” Connor murmured as he searched into the supermarket bag for marshmallows to put on the grill. “Now, she says she’ll accept me if I install a Stag Fire Pit in my backyard, just because today is the Summer Solstice. Who does she think I am? Am I cutting money?”

“You don’t have to do anything,” came Lilith’s voice from behind him. “I took care of it already. Ready for you to jump in.”

Connor turned around to glimpse Lilith as she flew away over the treetops. “Look over there!” she pointed to the biggest bonfire Connor had ever witnessed.

“Oh, no!”

Connor’s house was crackling in flames.
