Faerie Tales Of New York

“What if I told you..     that guy… yeah, that old guy over there, at the end of the bar, was a Leprechaun?  He’s the owner of this place, and one of the oldest Fey in the city. The Fey call him Codgery Tom, and he’s been here since… oh, since he came over with Irish immigrants in the early 1800’s.  He was oath-bound to a certain family, so when they moved… so did he.  But he figured out how to make things work here.  He invested his pot of gold on Wall Street, doubled it many times over, bought this building and a half dozen others, and opened this pub, and now it’s a haven for Fey folk in the city.  Doesn't need the money, he lives off investment income.  But he keeps the place going... for the Fey here.

“You see those two gals?  The one on the right, she’s a being that’s part Air Elemental, part Fairy, called a Sylph, and she’s a dancer…”

      How do you know that?

“That she’s a dancer?  Skinny, strong legs, hair up in a bun, dancing shoes sticking out of her bag.  I’m teaching you to Observe, you have to pay attention to things like… oh, you mean that she’s a Sylph?  I’ll get to that.  Anyway, her friend is a Nature Fairy.  Like a Pixie.  Nature Fairies are… well they’re sweet but they can be a little naive.  They all believe that they have to take care of nature, because without them the dew won’t form and the birds won’t know how to fly south for the winter.  It never occurs to them that because there are so few Nature Fairies, most birds somehow manage to migrate without a Nature Fairy briefing them on the route and giving them a reassuring hug before they go.

“And those guys… he’s a Troll, and the others are Goblins.  You’d be surprised how many Goblins work in sanitation.  Mostly, Fey avoid public work because there’s scrutiny and records and all that… But Goblins found a way to infiltrate the Department of Sanitation, and they like it.  They have tunnels under some of the landfills, you know.”

     This is the silliest stuff I ever heard.

“That’s what I thought.  Look through this.”

     Oh my god.
