( She nodded solemnly. Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened. A being that rivaled god like powers had a tantrum, and innocents suffered for it. )
I went to see the Green Knight. He was an ally of mine - sort of. Fey don't usually meddle in mortal affairs, but he had helped me before and he was... good. Better, I guess, than most. He dealt with the Horned God before and I didn't have a lot of time.
( She bit her lip and nuzzled in a little closer, fingers fiddling with the back of Meryl's coat. ) So I went in to find him, asked him for help, and he said no. I decided to try and save my home myself then - but I didn't make it back. I died in the Everwood, where the Green Knight's keep is.
He decided then that I had dedicated myself enough for him to help then. So he brought me back, made me what I am now, and bound me to his service to fight the Horned God for all of eternity. Because he's too strong for me to kill him - but I can keep him at bay with the Knight's gift. ( she paused. She could have just left it there. But this wasn't even the point she was trying to make. )
I was with him for centuries, and the longer I stayed, the more I forgot. The more I became... I don't know. A servant? And I worshiped the Knight. I did everything he said- I killed trespassers, I fought the Horned God. I did everything he asked and after a while I didn't even remember who I was, or who I had been. Not until I was pulled into the Feywilds. Then here.
