The spindle

In the first episode the briars part in front of Rosamund and a long tendril presents a familiar, shining black spindle wrapped in its barest end NA E1·00:18:04. When Rosamund tries to grab the spindle, the tendril withdraws and slashes at her with it NA E1·00:19:45. She fails to grab it, rolling an 11 NA E1·00:19:59.

In the fourth episode a swarm of mice drives back the briars, takes the spindle of a spinning wheel and presents it to Rosamund, and Brennan tells Siobhan to mark it on her character sheet NA E4·01:25:13 NA E4·01:25:45. In the sixth episode Rosamund pulls out the spindle and uses whatever fairy magic is in it to cast Faerie Fire in front of the barrier NA E6·00:05:17.

In the seventh episode Rosamund takes the spindle out and puts it to Mother Goose's book, which opens as it did for the glass shard, and Brennan says the story of Sleeping Beauty begins to write itself NA E7·01:00:06 NA E7·01:00:27. Brennan says it is not her whole story, with a page or two of blank pages and then an illustration of the spinning wheel and the spindle NA E7·01:01:47. In the ninth episode Brennan confirms the spindle is in the book along with the shard and the golden ball NA E9·02:17:47. In the eighteenth episode Brennan says the book holds Sleeping Beauty's spindle and Gerard's golden ball NA E18·01:29:59.

In the epilogue Siobhan tells a version where Rosamund learns to use a spindle safely, and Brennan narrates that on her 18th birthday she kicks the Wicked Fairy and grabs the cursed spindle out of her hand NA E20·02:18:07 NA E20·02:19:00.
