For Darius Turing, the ritual started the night after his twelfth birthday. After he had his double-chocolate cake - with six of his friends, his mother insisting that more would be too tiring for him - he happily spent the time with his new gifts, playing with the others until late in the afternoon. That night, he was tucked into bed by his mother

That was terrific! You completely sucked me into the story and I love the ending, the realization that this small ritual was in fact probably very important. Or maybe it's all coincidence? I love the atmosphere of it all, the maybe, maybe not, and the slightly other-worldly feel. Great stuff :D

What an interesting story, retelling of many of the old myths in a fantasy setting :)
