[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 6035066, member: 16221"] Pretty much, yep! For example, take a mere Poppy Sprite, bound to a single Poppy Flower. Stay away from that flower, and you're completely safe. Come within sight of it, and the Sprite might be able to tell the story of how the wind carried the scent of the flower towards you, bringing you closer. The Sprite would invite you to dance, and if you did, the Flower would dance as well, and the combined dance would enable to Sprite to do pretty much anything it wanted to you, because it controls the story of the Flower, and the Flower now relates to you. Now, lets say you are armed with cold iron... wearing a Cold Iron Horseshoe around your neck for instance, which is nearly the ultimate defense against fae. You pluck the flower, and make it into opium. That drug now places you into the direct control of the Sprite, and it will now have ultimate narrative power over you. Telling your story, bringing "extras" into the tale if needed, etc. It would likely use this power to obtain vengence over the person who plucked the flower in the first place, arranging a series of events akin to Arthur Dent and Argagarg (the Whale) such that the person will want, nay, NEED to obtain vengeance against that person for personal reasons. And that's a very minor sprite. More powerful fae control the story of "Things Growing In Springtime", or "The Tempestual Storms". [/QUOTE]
