    Summary

    Some of them, the wish-granters, the kindly folk, the godparents, are summoned by desire, or hard work, or anger. It calls them, tugs them, until they can go to help, to see the desire fulfilled, the wish granted. Some of them receive in trade only the sense that they're balancing the scales of the world. Some of them amass favors owed. Some of them make bargains.

    Rumpelstiltskin has always found himself called to tears, the quiet ones of despair, the ones that are silent because it never occurs to the one weeping that someone might hear and come to comfort them. It might be better, if he could simply help them without asking anything in return, but his magic always asks for a bargain.

    Summary

    “In the lair of the Harvest-woman, there is a phoenix,” his mother tells him. “Bring me a portion of its fire, and I will forgive you.”

    It is a harsh price to pay for the chance to leave, as slim as that chance is, now. The Harvest-woman’s web stretches far and wide beyond her lair, and she is said to strangle any and all who fall into it, for no reason but to see what they look like as they die.
