I was retired, but when the Queen of Faery comes with a request, you listen.
"I have a little job I need you to do. It requires cold iron--and lead. I'll pay you well."
Now I didn't want to get wrapped up in that line of work again, but she's a hard creature to say no to, so I agreed. My only stipulation: payment in cash, up front.
"But of course," she smiled.
And left me two gold coins, a king's ransom in today's world.
