Cynosure

Cynosure – something that strongly attracts attention by its brilliance, interest, etc.

Cynosure means to incinerate or fire. It must be the night for the big cynosure. The fairies all go out into the woods and the meadows and look for wood. They get all shapes and sizes of it because once it is in the cynosure it doesn’t matter what it looked like. This is a big night in fairy land because it is the night when young fairies become adult fairies. They are all gathered around the big cynosure and they begin the dance of the fairy growth. They turn their backs to the cynosure and slowly begin to flap their wings. The wings begin to faster and faster in time to the music from the berry drums. It gets louder as the fairies begin to him and move around the fire. Their feet have to begin moving faster and faster. They hold hands and as the music gets louder and faster the fairies rise as they are still holding hands and going around the fire. They rise higher and higher and spin faster faster until they are just a blur. Then all of a sudden the stop and plummet to the ground. The cynosure dies down to almost nothing and then all of a sudden as they hit the ground it flames up to the sky and each of the fairies turn bright orange before each turn into their special color. Before the cynosure ceremony, each is a light yellow color until now when their true colors come out and they are now adult fairies. It is an amazing sight to see and the only humans who get to see it are the ones who can sneak in with owl feathers covering their faces so that the fairies will not see them as human. Only the quiet ones who are good at pretending can see the magical cynosure.
