Elaine took Lachesis' hand. "I go by Elaine, but I am the goddess of Fairy Tales. And-" to Atropos- "I wouldn't say I am trying to cheat anything. Cheating must be done cleverly or not at all. No, I would say..." She thought a moment. "I am trying to amend the narrative. I would love a cup of tea, thank you."
She moved to the counter and set down her little Puss ornament. Here was a clever little cheater, who spun tales to help his friend. And didn't he have a happy ever after, in the end? "I want to trick the ogre into transforming into a mouse. I want to change a cursed spindle from a death sentence to a long sleep. I work in "happily ever afters". I should be able to help my friends when they need it."
