"What are these dreams like?" A troubled look crossed Iris's face. "There is fire and screaming," she said quietly. "And running," Coral said. "Lots of running. It's hard to tell what's happening."

In a time when fairies ruled the Earth. And humans were an afterthought. The waves of the ocean beat against the shore. The blue sky met the gray water in the land of Connaught in what is now County Galway, Ireland. The Fairy Queen held her wand aloft as she told the three gargoyles their fate.

Seeing that she would not give up from siding the night roamer, he decides to tell her a story to compliment her belief. “You know, according to our popular children stories, some believe he is a handsome prince from a far away kingdom made of gold, and enchantment and magic.

Elena introduced the topic with confidence, her voice steady as she explained the common themes in shifter mythology across different cultures. “In Norse mythology,” she said, gesturing to an image on the screen behind her, “we see the concept of the berserker - warriors who would take on the spirit of the wolf or bear, channeling their ferocity in battle.

In return for divine inspiration, she basically sucks the life out of them. They die young, but they create lasting art and have amazing sex so it’s a fair trade.”

He sat in the other chair, in front of the fireplace, and began the story. ‘Our primeval mother was the Goddess Danu, daughter of the pictorial king of Alba. She ruled the Svat á Yor, the black elves, and the Ljö sal for, the white elves. Her land was called Tuatha Dé Danon, the land of the Goddess Danu. One day, the people of Aossí were added, seeking protection. They were the people of the burial mounds, the forerunners of the síde and the Witte Wieven.

Ezekiel and Sebastien went back to their places and prepared to lay down. “They’re here now,” Celeste quickly said, excited to finally hear her grandmother’s story, “can you now tell us the story?” Petra nodded and started to comb their hair. “What is it about?” Desmond asked. “It’s about the creatures older than blood drinkers, the ones who roamed the lands longer than the wolves of the merciful falls, the ones who cannot be seen by our eyes.” Everyone was quiet as they listened to Petra’s voice. “They go by many names,” she paused, “some call them the Sidhe, the Tuatha de Danaan, or the Fae folk.” The children listened curiously, basked on their grandmother’s storytelling. “But in our land

“Did Ryatt talk to Logan and his people yet?” “Yes,” Sarah breathes, her eyes suddenly downcast. “They… Logan, obviously, remembers very little about his childhood in Emberfyll, and what he does remember is marred by war and strife, so, it doesn’t help us much, but the elders in his pack have some fleeting memories of legends and stories told through the ages about the fae. There’s a song from Emberfyll, an old folklore, that’s meant for children. I heard Brie singing it to Kieran once and thought it was strange but didn’t think about it after that.
