• Mated to and lives with Godric--Sheriff of Area 9 in Louisiana and serves as his Area Lieutenant

Ualtar Ridire Ban

Ualtar Ridire Ban

• ruler of the Wyld Fae Army (aka General)
• A Faekin (Wyld Fae who can shape-shift) who is literally bred to be a protector & is loyal to death once he's given their service
• Came to the Royal Hawthorn Fae Court with the Crowned Princess Rhoswen (Aev’s Mother) of the Wyld Fae Court named Arachs Blood when she was married to the Fae King Valnir (Aev’s Father)
• Was named Royal Protector (aka Creche body guard) by Rhoswen when she had her first two kids 
• is the only one who knows for certain that Rhoswen was pregnant with Aev before her kidnapping and raped by the elves (she lived long enough to give birth to Aev and then died which is why Ban has such a soft spot for Aev. The Fae King thinks Aev is elven but since she was born to his wife he has to claim her as his child. )

Magic

• Martial - can create armour & weapons out of magic but prefers to use silver because magic can be dispelled
• Wyld Fae magic is tied closely to the elements & his affinity is with earth, more specifically he can tap into stones & metal
• He could shape-shift into a barrow hound - it's this ability that was corrupted when he was cursed, so he became a death omen instead of a protector

Amber

• 27 years old
• Birthdate: May 19th
• Description: 5'4" Black hair, brown eyes
• Family: None living
• Came to the Foss coven as Vik's pet. Was released from her service and allowed to live on my own.

The fairyblood Ruby Amulet to let me pass through the portals. It is also enchanted to allow me to understand Ualtar.

Amber~ In the Rabbit Hole

What did I get myself into this time?
Being a human so aware of the supernatural world hasn’t always been easy. But lately it’s been something else entirely. I guess I should start from the beginning…..
After Rickard left I found myself heartbroken. Somewhere along the line I had come to think of him as mine, and when he left without a word to me, it hurt. Feeling weary and tired of everything I moved out of my home with Phoenix, asking Aev if I could come stay with her here in Faery.
 

I don’t know what I would do without her. She took me in when I was feeling lost and gave me home. For a while everything was quiet and peaceful. Then came the black hound.
 
   
While stalking Aev, he managed to get me alone, bit me, left me as bait for the others. Those next few days are a blur to me. All I remember is feeling tied to the hound. The hound that became a man…. A fae man.
  And I thought my human problems were bad…
 

Now I have Ualtar. Who was the black hound. But he has no memories of that time. So I can’t hold it against him. He’s marked me, I see it on my skin. He tells me it means I’m marked for death. That scares me.
I’m not sure what any of it means. My tie to him, my mark, the reason he’s here. But I do know I feel better with him around. I feel safe.
 
 
  He can be this harsh warrior or the sweet man who teaches me fae words under the covers late at night. He’s a contradiction I’m not sure I’ll ever make sense of. Part of me questions if it is wise to become so attached to him. I know he’s a warrior, a guardian, and that his duty will come first. I know something dark controls him and we aren’t sure what will happen in the long run. But while he’s here, I’ll enjoy him, and consequences be damned, I’ll give my heart to him.
 
     
On a lighter note, Aev has brought us a new pet. Darius. He appears to be an injured owl. But is anything ever what it seems here?
At the end of the day I guess that’s my biggest question. Is anything around me exactly what it appears to be? And how do I fit in to all of this?

Revelations and Sword play

~From Aev’s journal~

 

Just wanting to congratulate Ari for her new position as Liaison with the AVL and show my new sword to her & Godric, I should have known nothing would be that simple.

Why can’t Godric tell me what he’s been hiding? Instead I feel his lies and my emotions keep running high.  For some unknown reason my magic is running out of control. Finding myself drawing swords with him. Ari in her anger throws us to opposite sides of the room, but that only fuels our anger. Striking Godric across the chest, we break out in full on sword fight. Exchanging parries and blows, our swords clash and spark as we fight our way round the living room at a furious pace, neither getting the advantage.  Breaking through the glass patio doors, we take the fight near the lake where Ari was trying to calm herself. Finally Godric goes for the death blow only stopping an inch from my neck. Walking away he admits his love for my brother and sister. Love?! Yielding, I ask what he meant.  He admitted that he was their lover and he helped them to leave our Queendom to go to the Forest Fae for sanctuary.  My brother later deciding to go to the mortal realm to live a life as a painter and my sister marrying into the Royal House and having a child; this is just too much.

Ari is overloaded by our bonds and vspeed to her room. Wanting to apologise, we talk and I use my remaining magic to put their house to rights. Collapsing, Ari returns me to Faery where I can regain my strength.

Later, going out to my favourite meadow, I relax by going through my sword exercises. Flowing gracefully into each position the sword feeling like an extension of my body,  I start to reminisce of my brother playing with our wooden swords.

Elves

~Written by Aev~

Why the fuck does Bán have to come with us? I thought. Still full of the Old Court ways, he wants to bring weapons to a wedding celebration. Wanting Amber to experience the beauty and joys of other Realms, this would have been a way to heal her heart.  Does anything go to plan around us? Not in any Realm is the answer.

After convincing our “bodyguard” that weapons weren’t necessary, we went to the Elven Realm with gifts and wine in hand for the newly married Rethar and Gwaedhiel.  Dodging our first bullet when a handsome Elf came to ask Amber to dance.  Asserting his territory and about to rip the guys throat out, I grabbed the Elf to go dance.  The beautiful surroundings of lanterns decorated trees, flower streamers draped through the branches of surrounding trees, the incredible music filling the air; how could this night go wrong? Insert diabolical laugh here!!

While dancing I heard someone mutter “Fairy cunt” . Assuming it was just one elf, I continued to ignore it.  Only when I overheard the word “Murderer” I started to worry. The man was not alone and they were bee lining for  Bán & Amber. Leaving my dancing partner behind I headed to grab the couple and go. Suddenly a push to my back sends me flying forward. Being pulled up quickly and realising that a quick exit is called for, we head towards the portal only to be followed by the group. Making sure of Amber’s safety I push her through the vortex.  Seeing Bán surrounded by the Elves squared off with a Fader who was changing his size before our eyes. There seemed to be something going on that I was not aware of.  This was confirmed when Bán called him by name,  Aemona. Wondering how they knew each other, I regretfully learned how when Bán delivered a the Elf to his death…In a whisper to him as he cut his throat, “ Your Queen will scream under my cock as I fuck her to death like you did ours”

Learning of how her mother had died, Aev did not take the news very well. Understatement comes to mind as the blue flames covered her body and spread to the nearby bushes and trees. Thrown over the shoulders of Bán, taken through the portal and thrown into the pool ; Aev is left to deal with yet a new revelation of her family.
