She does not carry her light for travellers. She carries it because the flowers need something to bloom toward in the dark, and she has decided, quietly and without ceremony, that she will be that thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn summer nights, when the wind is warm enough to be almost kind, she spreads her wings — teal and gold and faintly iridescent — and holds very still. The flowers lean. The sea below does not notice. She does not mind. There is a particular satisfaction, she has found, in being necessary to something small.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morbid Oddities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60476929966414,"sku":null,"price":361.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/0920\/8142\/files\/8fc36797-5995-48a3-8664-1ded1883ee11_1.jpg?v=1787323819","url":"https:\/\/morbid-oddities.com\/products\/the-lantern-bearer-whimsical","provider":"Morbid Oddities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
