Olyssa spent the following days whilst they waited tormenting the castle staff. It had become a game of sorts amongst the servants to try and avoid the sidhe at all costs without making it appear as though they did so deliberately. The simple maids and cooks faired better, but it was the poor...

Olyssa's side was that of a child who had been told they couldn't go outside because it was raining. "I suppose," she glared at the hole in the table as though it were all its fault she would be stuck here for even longer than she had intended. There were animals and a whole jungle that awaited...

"If that was the case then your son would have been able to beat the creature off without the aid of a pixie or a Starborn," Olyssa said mildly as she went to examine a bit of charred wall to see if it was the same as the table. Indeed a hole had gone through the wall though had stopped before...

Tharu had barely finished speaking before Olyssa had all but shoved past him to examine the hole in the table, for the rot had not simply stopped at parchment. She examined it from above and then crawled under to peer at it from the other side. In the back of her mind she faintly registered the...

Olyssa stared down the Prince with a blank expression she had learnt over her lifetime often made people uncomfortable enough to do what she asked so she would go away again. Silence filled the room as those gathered held their breath and waited to see the reaction the putrid bit of root would...

The use of two Ancient Magicks. Interesting. Olyssa made a note to practise the effects of that on the little supply she had left. Maybe she could convince Nairth to let her go get some more, or even test it directly on the host. He'd said himself it was no longer Oberon, surely he wouldn't...

Olyssa raised a single brow. His son? Perhaps Nairth wouldn't have minded if he had died in the experiment; from what she had heard about the Spring King he was more likely to kill his own child than not. At least no emotions would get in the way of the experiment if that were true. Despite...

Olyssa merely sniffed at the praise, even as her wings preened themselves, for she knew the praise was but a matter of course. She was excellent. That others recognised it as so was unavoidable. She picked up her own charred bit of root - the one she had practised Healing upon - and twirled it...

"For the Lunar Fae, Starlight is the oldest and purest form of Light magic. For a Solar Fae, it is the sun," people often made the mistake it was moonlight, forgetting that it was the sun itself that blessed the world with that type of light. "From what you have told me of your encounters with...

"Why else would I be here?" Olyssa frowned at the King as though he were a small child stating the glaringly obvious. Her eyes flickered briefly to the book he had clearly been studying before her arrival then dismissed it as unimportant entirely. She pushed aside some bits on his desk in a...

For five days Olyssa did not emerge from her suite of rooms. She might have lost track of all concept of time if her experiments had not relied so heavily on the lights cast from both sun and moon. The creatures reactions to both were as diverse as the celestial bodies themselves, but the main...

Olyssa caught herself just before she burst out laughing. It was the sudden audience they had acquired that gave her pause enough to think that perhaps laughing in the face of a gift from a foreign monarch might just create one of those diplomatic incidents that Midir was always telling her off...

Did getting a crown mean speaking in long winded riddles? She tried to apply the same, schooled, pleasant expression she did when Midir spoke in that similar amble. Of course, Midir had never told her it was not the perfect face of polite interest she thought it was. In fact it was very hard not...

Olyssa opened her mouth to make a smart retort then paused. It took the time as it did with all fae as old as they for her to properly sift through the memories, but when she did she realised that he was right. Until today she had not met another for many centuries that could speak to the world...

Something like disappointment crossed the sidhe's face as the creature was tucked away. The answers, if there were any, were to be found right here. She could have watched it for hours. The Spring Kings quasi question dragged her from her thoughts and she looked up at him with an impatient sigh...
