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?
