Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dawn of a New Age


It has been said the times of happily ever after are over, nothing could be closer to the truth. Trolls roam unchecked and unchallenged, fighting for revenge of their dead king. Imps and faires gave up on helping humans and have ostracised themselves from the rest of the world. They don't care what happens. So long as they themselves are not affected, it doesn't matter.

More interestingly, the wolves pardon has not been followed. Wendel pardoned us, and yet the farmers do not keep to it. Why? They call us beasts, creatures not worthy of sentiment. For this ay any other reason I've gone to live in the forest. I'll wait until they kill themselves, my emotions are gone, yet I force myself to feel disgust.

Today, it's my eighteenth birthday. No one around, just the way I like it. I can be with myself. Not feeling anyone and their emotions. Yes, I'm envious. Wouldn't you be? I don't even think true love's kiss can cure this heinous curse. The evil witch is dead, and I thought that would break the spell. Wrong, again.

To celebrate my birth, I'm catching rabbits and feeding off them. Uncooked these little treats are candy. Blood sweet from the carrots they steal from the farmers. Fur, simply soft, softer than a new gosling. Easier to catch than an unguarded infant. You offer them anything they come running. Too easy. Only when they sense what you are do they start to run. That's when the fun begins. They twist and dive trying to lose you. Luckily, I'm smarter than they are. I know running in a straight line will turn their strategy against them. Oh it is too easy to catch the naive rabbits.

Then only thing better than chasing them and catching them is eating them. My teeth sink easily into their flesh, they twist and urn in pain, forcing me to snap their fragile spine, killing them.

This life I've built for myself, it's paradise. I could not ask for more. The only thing that would make it better is if I could feel happy about what I have. I know when I'm supposed to feel a certain way, and I remember what it feels like, however, I can only remember, and imagine.

That night I found a natural cave to sleep in. I was ever so tired from the hunts today. I would probably sleep in. It didn't matter though. I don't have a schedule to keep, so yes, I shall sleep in.

Derek was out on his morning hunt when Sasha started acting strange. "what's wrong girl?" He asked. She had to of smelt something bad. She barked and growled facing east. He inched forward arrow ready in bow. "shh..." he whispered to his companion. He moved towards the mouth of the cave and looked in. A young girl, near his own age he guessed was sleeping her head on a rock. He dropped his arrow and put them away. "What would a girl be doing out here?" He picked her up and started to carry her to the village. He looked down at Sasha, "Maybe she ran off or got lost last night." He shrugged his shoulders. "Someone has to know her." Sasha followed obediently after Derek, fully aware that the creature he held was not a girl, but a wolf. There was just no way of telling him he held a dangerous wild animal and not a sleeping human. Sasha kept close keeping an eye on the animal, making sure she didn't wake and get startled. A startled wolf is a dangerous wolf. Then again, any kind of wolf was dangerous.

The best time of day is when a demonic faire can have some fun. Nero saw just that opportunity as he watched the wolf struggle against the human male. Oh the possibilities that could arise. After being thrown out of the village what else was there to do? He was one of the more smaller fairies so it would be easier to hide from the wolf if things went south. He decided he'd been good long enough. Four hours of no bad deeds! He began to form the plot in his mind. When it was set he headed over to the male. "Well..." He said slyly, sitting on his shoulder, "You're going to let that one get away?" He laughed a fake sweet laugh, "You're letting a good one go." Nero moved fast and before the male could turn his head Nero was gone. He then went to find the female. Things were going to get interesting. He changed his appearance to that of a wood faire. Green hair and outfit. Flowers growing from his hair. Eyes changed from blood filled sockets to purple sparkling glitters. The feeling he got from changing was awful. He could feel his body change and stretch, growing. He would be happy to get out of this as soon as possible. This wood faire crap was not for him.

Derek wondered where that strange voice came from. It sounded devilish. he could tell Sasha was urging him to go home, but he had other plans. He ran after the girl. What if she got hurt? He could not live with something like that on his conscience. He ran straight, thinking that's what she did. "Sasha!" He yelled, "Find her."
Sasha didn't want the girl found, but she has a job to do. She obediently picked up the girl's sent and headed after her. Stopping at a tree. She smelt the wolf, it had climbed. She scratched the bark, a sign that the animal was up the tree.
Derek scratched Sasha's head, "Good girl" He then looked up the tree, trying to see if he could see the poor lonely girl.

((Bravo!! Rhymer!! Too great.))

I should have known the little wood faire was up to no good, I felt myself hit the branches on my way down, finally, I hit the ground, a dog's wet nose sniffed my hair. I looked up and saw the faire fly away, that mischief maker had done what it set out to do and now it just left.

his awful rhyme was still going through my head, he knew of my curse. How? Maybe it was just something fairies could sense. It didn't matter anymore, it was gone, and the boy was going to catch me. What would it be? Burning? Pitchfork to the chest? I could feel his emotions getting stronger, he found me.

I rolled over and the dog growled viscously a warning that it wasn't afraid to kill me if I jumped at his master.

I ignored his gesture, contact was out of the question with this curse. Still, his feels weren't negative, I couldn't help but feel happiness when he flashed a smile. With out warning I heard myself blurt out "Alpha." I got up off the wet ground and dusted myself off.making sure my back was never to him, I couldn't let him see me tail. What would he think?

Derek could see the girl didn't trust him. Still, he got a name, that was better than nothing. "Alpha?" He asked, "Do you live somewhere around here?" He looked around and didn't see a trace of civilisation anywhere. "Do you need help?"

"Wake up!"
Adrain jumped up from his sleep, "Oh, is it over?"
The teacher looked down at him and slapped a ruler on the desk. "no, actually, we're going to go to the stables and you're going to learn how to ride a horse properly."
Adrian laughed, "It's forbidden for royalty to go out side the castle."
The teacher laughed again, "Honestly, don't you ever pay attention? We were granted two hours for you to learn., which means we leave now." She walked behind Adrain and pulled him up, "Now your highness, follow me to the stables."

Penitence frowned at his sister, "We have work to do, Our spies found that royalty is leaving the castle to go to the stables." He got up and went into the next room, coaxing Pain to follow. When they were in the next room Penitence turned on a magic mirror. "This mirror Pain, you know what it does?" He didn't wait for her to answer, "This mirror allows us to control what we wish," IN the mirror appeared a young brown horse. "This horse is the one Prince Adrain will ride today. Pain, I want you to make this horse come to us. make him fast as the wind." He then left the room, leaving Pain alone. That should keep her entertained for a while, he thought to himself.
