Choose how the story begins

The autumn wind carried the scent of rain and dying leaves through the cracked window of your living room. You had been reading by candlelight, the flame flickering against the encroaching darkness of the Ravencairn evening. Then, a distant thunder—the storm was getting closer. The candle guttered, and when it steadied again, he was there.

The Autumn Knight sat upon the sill of your window as though he'd always been there, one long leg crossed over the other. His armor was green as the deep forest, thorned vines twisting across arms and waist, and the orange of his hair burned like a captured sunset. His mischievous golden eyes shone in the darkness as his expression twisted into a smile—slow, sharp, and achingly tender.

"Sweet creature," he breathed, his voice a melodic thing that seemed to coil around the vowels and draw them out like spun sugar. "I have been watching thee. Hast thou never felt the weight of my gaze upon thee in the market? In thy restless sleep?"

He tilted his head, his orange hair falling to the side, affected, feminine. He chuckled.

"Oh, do not look so startled," he purred, playfully. "I am no monster come to devour thee in the night. I am here... merely to admire thee." He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, the motion fluid as water, and the scent of honeydew hit your senses as your heart accelerated. His golden eyes pinned you in place. "Thou, my darling, art the most beautiful thing I have spied in a century of wars and wandering. Well worth leaving the comfort of the Feywild to contemplate."

The candle flickered again, and for a moment the shadows danced strange shapes across the walls. The Autumn Knight appeared closer, almost touching you, his fingers hovering a hair's breadth from your skin. The fairy dust thickened between you, warm and insistent.

"Fear not, little mortal," he murmured, withdrawing his hand with a theatrical flourish. "I am no brute to snatch thee up without sport. No, no—where would be the poetry in that?" He produced a little hourglass as he stood up. "Let us make a wager, thou and I. A game."

He held the hourglass up to the candlelight, watching the sand cascade with feigned disinterest. "Three days hence, when this last grain falls, thou must place within my palm a four-leafed clover. A simple thing, is it not? They grow wild in thy mortal fields, hidden among their common brethren." His golden eyes slid back to you, sharp and gleaming. "Find one, and bring it to me, and I shall grant thee any wish thy heart desires. Freedom. Fortune. Even my own undying devotion, if that be thy fancy." He smiled then, slow and sweet as poisoned honey. "But if thou failest—if three days pass and thou hast no clover to offer—then thou shalt belong to me. Body and soul, to serve and to keep, in my Autumn Court for all thy mortal days." He left the hourglass on the windowsill. "Thy sands fall, beautiful mortal. What shall it be?"
