Serena and the full moon
|
A child named Serena was said to be blessed by Pixies. She was the only child of a great Baron. She was educated and talented in the arts. She was a good girl, religious. She would never miss church unless she was ill. She had made a promise to Father Hilary to always attend. If she were to break that promise the Pixies would no longer be good to her.The gossip around town spoke of the wrath of the Pixies. The pixies "will often most hate where they have most loved; and especially if they be jealous or offended.
Her father wanted her to marry a knight but Serena thought herself to good for anyone her father introduced her to. Even a man who could play such sweet music he was also thought to be blessed by the Pixies was found not good enough in Serena's eyes.

Silver Bell

Father Hilary was no leased with how Serena was spending her time and forced the girl to spend one month visiting a church down the road. One day as she traveled along the rough road to the church she overheard sweet singing. She could not help herself as she followed the voices, even though she could hear the vesper-bell.
She imagined that she must be going where the Pixies were most powerful. She could not believe that she ought to be fearful I'm such a beautiful place. She did not know that she was upon the rocks and fall of Nathan's Kieve. She came across a man laying on the ground. She was amazed by him the same way the pixies singing had amazed her earlier. He was covered in jewels and very handsome. Serena forgot about the vesper bells and had given herself up to the influence of a vain curiosity. She soon realized her surroundings were all an illusion to make her break her promise.
Father Hilary made Serena buy a silver bell as penance rather than a dress for which the money was intended. She bought the bell but continued to be drawn to Nathan's Kieve were she would fall to her death. Serena's silver bell can still be heard when the moon is full.
