The weather in Prague was so cold they could
hardly bear to be outside. Adam Meyrink, the occultist, and his companion, the
psychic Midnight Blue, stood in the Old Town Square watching the Christmas
Market. Meyrink's mind was far away but Blue was entranced by the city - the
lights, the brightly decorated stalls and the falling snow. The city looked
like a magic snow globe and trade was booming on the Carousel and people
bustled round the stalls selling Czech mulled wine - svařák. To go with
their wine or their beer, the crowds bought sausages with mustard and
sauerkraut, tinsel, candles and sparkling lights.
"You
know they call Prague the magic capital of Europe - the City of Alchemists,"
said Meyrink. He would have gone on, but Blue said, "We need to get inside
somewhere. I've lost the feeling in my toes."
