Hey guys it's Serenity! Now I haven't really ever seen a thread opened with this type of topic, so I figured I would make one and see where it goes...
Now ever since I was little I have always believed in beings of other worlds, dimensions, or whatever or where ever they might be. Though lately I have been doubting the world of higher powers and Magick itself; for some personal, factional and external issues and dilemmas. I have searched kept my eyes open and believed as hard as I could, and never have I seen anything to convince me. It still fascinates me today and I still believe to a certain extent. Because of many books I have read it has become a secret wish of mine to find Faerie of the faeries to prove to myself that they're real in one form or another. I also have read to many fantasy books that take place in England and Ireland so now it is a life long dream to get to those countries someday and continue my search there. But enough about my personal goals and dreams back to the subject at hand.
As some of you and myself know faeries aren't-or from what I've read and researched-aren't these little glittered up pixie-like, sparkly winged darling things. The world of Faerie is supposedly a treacherous place; the land of dreams and nightmares, where both can come true in the same wish. They can live among us if they wish and can also only be seen if they wish using a glamour. This is usually where Faerie sight would come in. When faeries do not want to be seen they will put up a glamour, or rather a disguise to make them seem human. They would usually appear as a beautiful mortal and real mortals would often be attracted to them without knowing why. Faerie sight is obviously the ability to see Faeries when they do not have a glamour on or when they are supposedly 'invisible'. When they are in their true form most will still be very attractive, but many also will look terrifying and scary in the truest sense of the word; with all of them though a sense of fear and spine shivering feelings will accompany you. Now not that many mortals are said to have Faerie sight, but for those who do have to be careful because if you have ever read Tithe, Valiant, Wicked Lovely or Ink Exchange, you do not want them to find out that you can see them. According to those books (which are fictional not fact, but are very accurate and well put together with real myth and legend) if they can see you they will blind you so that you can no longer see them; they like to keep their world secret and untainted. They are tricky devils and not always how they seem. They cheat, lie and connive do get what they want or to play treacherous games that can destroy peoples lives or just the person. They kidnap young, smart, beautiful, girls for their kings to marry. And in time those girls become more like the faeries themselves until they are no more than a simple skin pigmentation short of being a faerie. They are spirited away body and soul into another world entirely that supposedly sits right under out noses.
Now another book series-again fiction but entwined with real folklore and legend-suggests that faeries find teenage mortals, because they are more agile and obviously more likely to buy into a chance at their dreams, to do their bidding and dirty work. If it's anything from solving disputes between fey territories to rescuing a fey to something like battling and killing something that threatens faerie. The book series I am talking about is the Chronicles of Faerie by O.R Melling which, in my opinion, is a very well written series that entwine modern day with the twists and turns of ancient strife that continue in faerie. Faeries are seen as beautiful, but deadly looking other worldly beings that will and can kill without batting an eyelash and time means nothing to them for they never die (dah). Their world is the land of dreams where anything can happen, and for all intents and purposes, will happen. Our world is what fuels faerie; the dreams of mortals keep faerie alive. As long as their is a human that believes in faerie and the faeries it will continue to be and thrive. They lived to dance, drink, eat and party. Their music was irresistible, their food delectable but treacherous. If you ate their food you would be theirs, no longer able to stay in one world for long. You would be forever on the fringe of both worlds, constantly switching between the two. The fey would be free to call on you when ever they wished and you would belong to them. They loved to play pranks on humans. To trip you, pull on your hair, bump into you, and sometimes they were known to play with human emotions and love. They could make certain events happen and determine your luck. They would sail through and play with time like it was a childs toy. They could also put animals under their influence easily and have them turn tame or wild, but that was not permanent.
Over all it's a treacherous world full of myth, wonder, mystery, and danger. They could do upon you what you could only ever dream about, and they would and could turn those very dreams into nightmares; twist the plot turn the story around and make it their own creation. They can be ruthless and fearful, deadly and unfeeling. If you have a question for me that you can't post on here, either for personal embarrassment issues or the context of the question please don't hesitate to PM it to me and I will answer it the best I can. If not then just address the fact that the question is for me-or another person-before you type the question.
This thread is for a free flowing discussion of Faerie and the fey. Ask questions post answers and freely discuss topics pertaining to the thread. It's here for everyone of course and don't be afraid to talk in here. General guild rules apply obviously and thanks for reading!
