I met Waterlily Moonstone exploring Arran.
Although tales of fae were told often by her family, she said "this is my first time seeing a real fae"
Waterlily: what happened to all of you? My mother told me that you used to be everywhere
Casandra: Humans invaded our spaces, cut the woods, uprooted the plants we love. chased us further and further away by their actions and their disbelief. Only some lands are accepting of us, and not all in those lands welcome us.
Waterlily: My dad said that when someone says they don't believe in you one fae dies.
~ ~ Welcome to the Isle of Arran ~ ~
This land has been swallowed by the sea.
There was a green place in a land far away, a place with a sheltering bay surrounded by jagged peaks and the shadow of a giant snow-clad mountain. To this place came a group of beings, as diverse as beings can be to one another, and they put down roots and made homes for themselves. Now, this is not to say there was peace in this land. With diversity also comes conflict and soon sides were taken, some friendships forgotten and lines were drawn. Some, thinking bigness means power, blamed the dragons for the conflict. Others, believing magic was the source, blamed the elves and fae. And of course, there were those that said that where you have humans, you will always have problems! So, instead of living in harmonious consort with each other, they split into their respective groups and moved to the four corners of the realm, eyeing each other with much suspicion and chagrin.
But of course, as we all know, in order to survive you have to get along with someone. So new friendships were forged and new bonds made. But in the Isle of Arran, those bonds do not last for long. Someone ALWAYS brings a shadow of a doubt to the fire…and then…things happen.
