"Aren't we jus full o'tricks ya lil bas..." Mortar grunts just before finishing his sentence as he let two more arrows fly. "Anyone know what this may be? A fairy? Are we getting our arses kicked by a bloody fairy?" Mortar's beard seems to ball into fists as he watchs where the arrows land.
 

The flying and slightly invisible creature paused from combat long enough to give Mortar what might have been a rude gesture. "I'm a pixie, thank you buffoons very much! And it's not too hard to trick louts such as yourselves. But ye villains have tricks of your own; being able to radiate an aura of goodness while hurting and destroying the shrines that kept our Mistress' power of old and kept her tethered to the mortal realm. Why you tricky, vile dogs may have every other Fey fooled but you'll not fool me. I'll stop you from harming her further! She only tried to bring joy to those who suffer in this darkening world."
 

YOUR LADY MEAN!

Krag screams at the pixie.

She make it hard for little boys to make money...cuz...


Krag pauses.

Her piggies started eating people! Yeah, and her birds DO NOT LIKE KRAG!

He frowns at the hovering fae.
 

"She doesn't make anyone do anything, and she lacks the strength to act except once a year during the time of the human spring festival. That's when she gives blessings to the children whose parents make the trek in order to pray for her blessings. There used to be more than one gathering place back when the humans were more plentiful. When they left and stopped their offerings to her in Hillby and Cotown, she lost much of her power and is now mostly dormant. I don't know why you believe she has done anything to any animal, but she is a healer, not a killer."
 


"An offering? Killing people and dragging their bodies onto an alter is somehow healing? Come down here and fight like a man. Or pixie or whatever you are." spouts Yoshiki to the little flying man.
 

"A pixie? Really? A pixie! Well pixie ye got a name?" Mortar glares up at the pixie arrows in hand. "Also if we're so wrong about yer lady then why do the creatures of this wood attack us?"
 


Elros leaned down and shook Kanli awake while the combat took a pause. "Name's Etan Greenwing. I'll just stay up here, thank you very much," a voice retorted towards Yoshiki. A green-haired pixie appeared sitting on a tree branch above the party, wings still while he pulled a pipe and took a puff. Embarrassingly, he did not seem too injured. After some listening to the party's story he said, "Look, we of the forest know there have been some dominated creatures stalking the area of late, but the normal animals and us know to stay away from them. What really worries me is the boys that watch over the shrine and the tree for the one you call The Lady, and we call our Queen or Mistress. There is no evil goddess named Morgana. Now that boy that brought you... the one named Chip. He's a good lad, and a better Keeper than we normally get out here, but he doesn't know what he's talking about seeing as he has only been on the job for a year. What worries me is that Pan would tell you this fib. That lad is over one hundred and fifty years old, and has been the Attendant for nearly that entire time. The Lady blessed him with immortality long ago. Why he would want you to do her harm and destroy her shrine is beyond me, but his heart grew twisted more than a hundred years ago. Now we don't hold it against him. We have pixies among us who have a darker sense of humor and like to trick strangers and play with riddles, so we just felt that Pan made himself in that mold, and besides, he has served the goddess faithfully for so long... Still, I don't sense you are lying. A little dim, perhaps, but not lying. What Pan could gain from this, I don't know. If he injures the Lady's power enough he will lose likely his immortality. Grow old. No longer be a boy. It doesn't make much sense to me. What could he be after?" Etan took a couple more puffs while he pondered.
