Ghost Merchants Ledger Entry - The Strawberry Moon Fades

The Strawberry Moon Fades were born from a summer evening that refused to end. The guild has marked the Strawberry Moon, the first full moon of summer, since before memory. When it rises, something in the long northern light changes. The air grows heavy with scent. Time slows. These ghosts carry that evening inside them, from winter white at their crown to the deep rose of ripe fruit at their base. They bloomed when the Strawberry Moon called their colour out.

They are not fierce ghosts. They are the ghosts of perfect summer evenings; the kind with a good book and forgotten tea and the air full of scent.
