Ireland · a hill and village in Ireland
The heroes of this story.
Carries a swan feather for family far away. Stands in the púca's path and asks, not commands: "Knowing means saying." ASK-RICARDO: name TBD.
Playful trickster, benevolent under the mischief. Chooses the harder thing over the fun thing, gallops to warn the village, then borrows its eagle's wings for one slow circle. Never speaks.
Invisible except to trusted friends; tidies, points, rattles the cream jug. Earned its cream. Never speaks.
The púca is restless — horse to hare to horse — and the girl reads the signs: birds flying low, air gone still, shutters swinging shut by themselves. A storm is coming. The púca could enjoy the chaos, but the girl asks, "Knowing means saying," and the púca gallops to warn the village. That night the girl weaves a rush cross over the door — protection is something you weave, not something you buy — and the cream jug stands full again, earned.
