Eiluned Dawndown
the Emberward Fairy
Named for the ember that outlasts the flame and the lantern-glow that keeps the true dark at bay.
Power
Cindercatch — you can draw a single flame from any lantern and hold it unburning in your palm until dawn, but each flame carries the weight of the last thought its lighter had, and if you listen too long, it will leave a scar.

Every dusk you walk the edge of town and snuff the lamps that burn too blue — those ones mean someone's grief is seeping into the oil. One night a lamp refused to go out, its flame a steady white, and when you touched it, you felt the wish of a woman who had just decided to stay alive. You kept the flame. You keep them all now.
