Blue Moon… from Emerald Islands

Oilill signed and relayed, “Well, it only works at certain times of the year. The moon must always be full and the sand is most potent if collected during a blue moon. There are two exceptions to this… the winter and summer solstices. Come to think of it, I’ve only seen the Sandman when there is a blue moon or a solstice.”

Amica Carmisino frowned and commented, “This world has only one moon, and it’s not blue. Are you saying it turns blue when the Sandman arrives? And, what is a soul stitch?”

Even with the winged female’s razor sharp talons imprinting his shoulder, the little fellow chuckled but quickly regained his composure and answered, “Not a soul stitch! Solstice! Day and night are equal on those days. The moon sometimes has a tint but sometimes there are four full moons during one of our four seasons. The blue moon is the third of four full moons during a season.”

Amica scoffed, “So that’s all. I’ve seen moons turn blue, and I’ve seen times where an unfortunate victim might want his soul stitched. Some worlds have no day and night. What a strange world you live in, shoemaker, cobbler, or whatever you want to be called. Changing seasons, varying length of day and night, and finicky moon! Nature is stranger than Magick in this place!”
