    Faërie ~ Faelings

    The Treebard Fairy Quuen banishes the disobedient fae to the hole below the ocean.
    Faeries here still cross into our world, by climbing
    flying
    or swimming on the branches of the light the darkness in the water.
    From there the sinkhole extends and crosses until it swallows the earth from the other side.
    In the middle of the forest, the banished fae were free to return
    They either pushed everyone out
    or people were too afraid to approach them, so they departed

    The Gàeldīn became the new name for that corrupted patch of forest.

    Soon the Faelings had their own queen
    This is what happens when they are left to their own devices.

    She is a reflection of her people
    But with the haunting beauty of a female animal

    She grew to an abnormal height
    A tall fairy among her people
    but lacking thickness in the thighs, no birthing allowed for her
    Almost a death sentence for a treebard fairy
    Her body is brown all over, with a pale-cream underbelly
    like an animal
    a sweet, sweet lion, sheep or hare
    her horns are a darker shade of her exterior color, curved perfectly like as if they had been sanded into shape.

    She has no eyes on most days
    Staring right into the sun, screaming at it with all the internal rage
    The sun reinvigorates her eyes.
    black cream and goop dither outward and stream down cold cheeks when she isn’t feeling bad

    This form is not reflected in her people
    Instead they walk around with things missing
    Missing lower jaws, mouthless faeries scaring anyone who doesn’t look beyond exterior faults
    Missing lower arms, a missing eye—or two—more than one thing can go missing

    “You deteriorate the longer you stay around this corruption.”
    This is the punishment
    But
    Truth is
    These particular Fae deteriorate when they are not around love and happiness
    They will lose limbs and organs regardless in the face of corruption
    But, with love they will last forever
    They just need and want an outsider to show them love

    Their throats slide open, tendrils poking out and eager to see you
    Don’t hurt him!
    He is the last thing you need to run away from

    A faerie takes this frightened, wandering boy deeper into the forest

    “I will be your father now.”
