I love the usual reversal of the narrative--who truly enchanted whom, and which of them forced themself upon the other.

A lot of lovely writing. I pull out several passages as an example. Here is only one:

He had felt, he described to us, as if he was seeing starlight dancing before him, far deep into the forest. Our lord was never known for rash decision, but a mad thought overcame him to meet her, where he was wont to just let passersby pass our lands, undisturbed so long they kept the same to our community.

Very, very interesting concept and wonderful writing! Excellent story :) Thank you!
