“Cursed.” The Mancer sounded grim.
“By a Pixie,” Grimbuck added.
The Mancer shot Grimbuck a quizzical look. “How did you arrive at that conclusion?”

The Mancer’s song was beautiful. It began plaintively, seeking, asking, discovering. Every Pimin the room found themselves leaning toward the Mancer, a desire to share their knowledge with him filling their hearts, but they found they could not speak. Even the potted clover-lilly seemed to lean toward the Mancer and the fallen mayor.
Then the song changed. It became strong, heartening, [...]

A Note About Pims
