Fairies Wear Boots

It´s not QUITE what Black Sabbath had imagined with "fairies wear boots"; not in the back alleys of New York´s occult underworld, anyway. It´s more like "Redcap fairies wear iron boots". Did you know how hard it is to actually get a hold of real iron boots these days? So what if you happen to be a redcap and try to fill up your mythological role, at least to some degree? Well, Gaerdredge here has to improvise. Speaking of improvisation, please notice the makeshift weapon she´s just used to get rid of one of the more nasty manifestations of her own childhood imagination: It´s not a knife but the kind of refined kitchen equipment you use to hack herbs with; I can´t tell what it´s called in English, but for that matter, I don´t even know what that thing is called in German.
