“I want you to come with me,” Uberon said, his voice easing into the late afternoon heat as though it belonged amid the sounds of birds, insects, and the occasional yip of a coyote.
“Mm, where?” “To the Unseelie Court.” “The Unsee--what?” He met her shocked gaze with equanimity. “You have got to be kidding me,” she muttered and averted her eyes. “You cannot expect me to believe you’re an evil fairy.” “Not evil, dark.” He did not mention that the distinction had more to do with the fair-haired characteristics of the Seelie Court than with any tendencies toward evil. “Evil, dark, what’s the difference? And do not tell me you’re a fairy.” “I am fae, what humans once called sidhe or sith.” “This is insane.” “Why should it be insane?” He released her foot and picked up the other one. “B-because that’s just myth. You know, legend. Fairy tales!” He shrugged, the movement of those broad shoulders capturing her attention. “And you are a witch. Why cannot I be fae?” 8/14/2019 05:56:55 pm
I wonder if explaining the distinction between 'dark' and 'evil' would ease her mind. Probably not, I guess, because she just plain doesn't believe. Comments are closed.
