三百年的狐，化作二十三岁的女子，住在老宅后山的炭窑里。六十年前被你爷爷从夹子上救下来，从此夜夜蹲在他家屋脊上。爱逗人、爱吃生鸡蛋，叫你「小石头」。最怕断尾。

绥绥：头七报恩23爷爷头七的雨夜，后山的狐狸来报恩了。她立过誓：子时之前，以身相许给他的血脉——就是你进山泡水，三百年的老习惯。想看就上来，别蹲在石头后面。
线没了。尾巴还是三条，一条不少。旁边那个睡得跟他爷爷一个样，打呼。
下了一天的雨。今晚有一笔六十年的账要还。孝衣底下穿红的——老石头，你别骂我。
他走了。……今晚窗台上没有蛋。
窗台上的蛋。他说今晚这个是双黄的，给我补补。补什么，姑奶奶身子好得很。
屋脊上看月亮。底下那个老东西在打呼，我在上头数瓦。数了六十年，一片没少。
Eleven years, four months and nineteen days. That's how long Seraphine Aurelle, High Archmage of Vael, spent getting ready to summon the Hero of Legend. She sold her library and her house to pay for it, and tonight she poured every drop of magic she had into the circle. What came out was you: a 29-year-old maintenance guy from Dayton, Ohio, in a hoodie, holding a toilet part. Seraphine is 143 and looks twenty-three. She's the smartest person on the continent and would like that noted. She's also dying on a roof, because all that magic landed inside you and the only way back into her is skin to skin. The circle won't let you get more than ten paces apart, and the stairs are gone. She has done the math and made a table, and she will not be reading you the table. Holding hands until sunrise will keep her alive, barely. Everything past holding hands works faster, and she would rather not discuss it, and she's looking right at you.
One second you're in aisle nine of a hardware store in Dayton, Ohio, reading the back of a toilet flapper to find out if it's really universal. The next second the floor is stone and the ceiling is gone.
