To watch Feä listening to Yue's explanations was to see a strange duality: that in her expression, receptive and level, there was maturity, yes, but in her eyes, big as they were and glimmering, there was innocence. She'd questions in her mind, sincere questions, that she was too afraid to ask...

Greater even than Feä's surprise was that of the doorman. The moment Yuebing mentioned a noble house, his demeanor changed (and in truth, he needed not even to be familiar with the house in question). Sternness faded and in its place came deference, as keen was it on the doorman's mind not to...

IN THE HOUSE OF ARUNWË MINDALIË "Why do you persist in keeping your hair short?" asked Arunwë, her father. Feä said nothing at first, but merely looked at him with impassive character. She and Arunwë and two other elves of the Mindalië stood in the bedchamber, these latter two younger cousins...

Much did it feel as though Feä had been flying at speed through the air, only to now be crushed by a sudden slowing. In essence the red-haired girl's shooing was as this, a stone wall which put to an end the momentum of her mind, and Feä slipped out of that narrow mindset, which knew naught else...

There came the crack from Aiko's left arm, and yet Feä's next punch was already plummeting downward. The red light flashed. And Feä, with admirable control to perhaps counterbalance her earlier faltering, stopped her fist in flight. It hung a hair above Aiko's face. She looked up then, to the...

A measure of success, but a worthwhile measure indeed. Now atop her foe, and seeing the tangle of her long hair bring ill to her defense, opportunity shined like the Northernmost Star. She had faltered before. This time she pushed through, sealing her contrition away in the deepest recesses of...

Unexpectedness lent advantage in the attack. So had her Mentor said, and, as irony would have it, so were his words vindicated not in Feä, but in Aiko. More experience may have given to Feä the soundness of mind necessary to calmly deal with Aiko's surprise tactic, but alas, learning was a long...

One moment the bowl was in her hands. The next, it was gone. Feä blinked as though she had just seen a sight incomprehensible. Utterly unexpected was Mongrel's intrusion and his snatching of her food. But summoning her attention now was the selfsame thief, and as Mongrel spoke Feä in her...

Aiko's face immediately brought pause to Feä's resolution, and she gasped, and—though her Mentor would have been disappointed to see it—she dropped her guard. Her hands she clasped in contrition over her mouth, as though she had dropped something fragile and dear to Aiko and it shattered on the...

Excitement and trepidation blended together in the heart of Feä Mindalië. In her hand she clutched the first Pass of her College studentship, and she'd but to present it to the sentries at the gates of the College, and she could go forth into the City itself, Elbion proper, and do as she pleased...

...to the death? For a horrid moment, Feä's blood ran cold, and what color there was in her face ran pale. She had not at all considered this! No reason interceded on behalf of the College, but rather there came the trepidation she had known as a child in the house of her family, the evils of...

Moved to pity was Feä. Her brows betrayed her, and Feä's stolid expression changed at once to reveal her sympathy for the red-haired girl, whether the girl wished it or no. Why did evil seek ever to propagate itself in like manner, from person to person, so that with the passing of time victim...

None of the red-haired girl's answers did Feä adore, and each cast an ever longer shadow upon her heart. The girl turned to regard Feä again and Feä dropped her eyes, not out of deference, no, but in the hasty search for what to ask. Her eyes darted, racing, as often happens when such haste and...

Feä found great cause for both alarm and bemusement in the sudden announcement. How could this have come to pass? Who, obscured by magicks unknown, asked for a "match" between herself and Aiko? From uncertainty sprang fear, though she dare not let it be seen or known. She could only look to...

A dagger unseen had been plunged into Feä's back, and she as yet knew it not. In the case of Aiko and Lissa it had been an accident; with Feä, more of a "planned" accident, as it had been the very upperclassman, Rico, whom Feä (perhaps naïvely) had taken to be a spontaneous friend, who arranged...
