This here's a topic for everyone to talk about their encounters with our fairy kin - more specifically (or more entertainingly) the encounters that go bananas. I guess, then, that I'll go first.
About eight or nine months ago, while talking with the previous head of this guild I had occasion to converse with a Fae that was hiding in her head. <.< A funny story there. Turns out the Fae was playing a centuries-old game of hide-and-seek with another Fae... and the best hiding place he'd found yet was a mind. Considering the apparent age of this being, I'm not surprised he had the power to shift planes so easily.
Anyway, I got 'round to asking where he was from. Turns out the answer was utterly mind-bogglingly big. If he is to be believed, he is an earth spirit whose realm covers most of the African grass plains.
Well, okay. His answer was sorta vague. It was something like "From that mountain range there to all the way over there and over the horizon".
It would seem, then, that Fae come in more than just animal shapes. From what he was saying (if I interpreted it correctly) His "body" was within the earth of the Serengetti. It... yeah, it hurt my head too. I guess it's similar to dryads' bodies being within the trees, but Krro (An approximation, I believe) didn't have a humanoid appearance, unlike dryads or sylphs. His form was just... the picture in my head. The ground, the trees, the sky... It was awesome to behold. (in the original sense of the word, not the current meaning)
Of course, after that mind-breaking round I clearly didn't learn, since I (politely) asked him how old he was. I expected a big answer - a few thousand years, maybe a couple million... Well.
Here's a free tip. If you're ever talking to a spirit like this, don't ask them something like this.
They show you.
The sun above me started slipping eastwards, speeding up. It passed over my head countless times. Soon I couldn't even tell the difference between the night and day. Hundreds of years passed, thousands... as near as I can tell, he was about a hundred times older than homo sapiens were.
Not individual people. The whole goddamned race.
His sense of time is batshit insane, it would seem. He showed me an event, I guess the earliest event he could remember.
Apparently a few million years ago, Fae could walk this plane much easier than nowadays. (whether they actually existed on this plane or not, I don't know) Anyway, there was a... battle? Duel? between two Fae - two rather... powerful Fae. If what he says is true, their clash actually slipped between the space between planes and tore them apart, ripping the Fae and Physical planes apart.
From his story, it would seem that paranormal powers existed in much greater amounts in this realm long ago and after the split, only small amounts bleed through. I guess it makes sense - why else can we use these otherworldly gifts? - but it's... so bizarre.
I'd like you guys to tell me if you knew stories that were similar to this; after all, he could have been lying through his teeth to me about it. It was an image, rather than a sensory input like his description of who and what he was.
