If one does not pay heed to these precautions, maybe…just maybe that child will be taken from the cradle by the fey and in it’s place, something else will be left. Something, while not evil, will be entirely not human.So it was a young peasant's wife had given birth to her first child. Her mother, who lived some distance away, was on hand to officiate in the first duties attending its coming, but the evening before the day on which the child should be christened she was obliged to go home for a short time to attend to the wants of her own family, and during her absence the fire was allowed to go out.No one would have noticed anything unusual, perhaps, if the child had not begun, to cry like a fiend. After some weeks, however, the parents began to observe a change. Whenever it was sad, or hungry, it’s appearance began to change. Bright blue eyes would darken; pink baby skin would take on a grayish hue. The Father wanted nothing more to do with the thing, but the mother still loved it like her own and would have nothing to do with killing it.So young Aelfric grew, trying desperately to fit in, to hide his odd otherworldly nature.  A skill eventually honed to perfection, not only could he blend in, he could change, quite literally change, and with practice he could even become other people. People he knew, people he saw. There are limits to a young changeling’s skills, but Aelfric backed his up by emulating not only in appearance, but in deed. developing myriad skills and abilities to help aid in any impersonation.He can not hide his mischievous and mercurial nature as a fey-kin. Aelfric purely enjoys fooling people and playing minor pranks, but still overall has a sense of longing and a burning desire to be accepted.</blockquote>
