The last realm was made known after the fall; Terre de Brume, an endless nothing and prison for fallen gods. Death would have been better; if truth was known, but then most of what shall be relayed has been lost in time where the names have only become myth and suggestion.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2nUeMROZ4

In the Isles of Briton and Eire lived the pantheon of the ekimmu; Arianrhod and her ilk. Arianrhod was the Moon-Mother ekimmu Goddess who was known throughout the land for her stunning beauty. She was ruler of Caer Sidi, a magical realm in the north. She was worshiped as priestess of the moon. The benevolent silver sky-lady came down from her pale white chariot in the heavens to watch more closely over the tides she ruled. Arianrhod was also called the Silver Wheel because the dead were carried on her Oar Wheel to Emania (the Moon-land or land of death), which belonged to her as a deity of reincarnation. Arianrhod was the daughter of the Goddess Don and the sister of Gwydion. Gwydion was counselor to his sister as they grew from their childhood. Their sire was the God Taranis, who only ever left his own contemplation; it seems was to beget more offspring. Don was of Leth`Evana, Don was fae.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9IGaFa6SV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDzJDSEVf
“Gwydion!” she laughed softly as her womb-mate and twin froze a messenger as he tried to run from the throne room.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gLKL1iME
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo0Hl5NeN2
“Yes sister?” he asked innocently.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlbWM223GJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlivvcq77
Their blue eyes mirrored the other but where her hair was white-silver, his was a golden blonde color that shone like the sun itself. He wore only leather skin pants and a thick fur around his pale shoulders as he lay lazily upon a dais next to her throne. A natural mark wrought its way from his right shoulder across his sculpted pectorals to his navel. It appeared like ice and a long finger traced the mark and Arianrhod stared into her twin’s eyes.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S1IAWRU6b
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrMkJpNYtL
“You are positively evil.” She chirped playfully.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnUeyrfDZG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHVnOIgF4b
Arianrhod was wearing only a silk binding around her breasts and a low slung wrap skirt with platinum chains making tinkling sounds as she stood up. Upon her head she wore a wreath of flowers that signaled the final coming of spring and neither twin wore their reed sandals at the moment, why should they in their own personal throne room of Caer Sidi?451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBguR5bvK69
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ujpKRlQRk
“The messenger did bring some rather disturbing news though.” Arianrhod said seriously for a moment as she sat upon Gwydion’s dais.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpncCnb5zE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF55F3QtiQ
“Oh Sister please stop fretting and being all ruler on me. Come and lay with me for a moment.” Gwydion commanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkWjj6qHVb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJCj9fJU2h
She looked at the angel of a man who really and truly co-ruled with her and she smiled. He was a trickster; bad tempered, controlled snow and ice itself (the Sky dragons did not worship him for nothing), powerful, lied as easily as he spoke, and had an unexplainable hatred for their half-brother Fionn Hammel.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ5enaZXyO
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYTz9KGCU3
She sighed and lay beside him and they stared deeply into the other’s eyes. The threat was one they had not had to face in a very long time. When she was much younger, by almost a millennium, she had waged war against the enemy for things done against HER personally. Personal memories assaulted her and Arianrhod had to look away.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMSczy9zzp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBogKjsmlI
“Why are you still contemplating that?” Gwydion said suddenly in a bad temper.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0AoGw3Tup
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgaZQeNN1P
“We were young and it was I who declared war against the Undine if you remember Gwydion. Did they or did they not kill Nwyvre?” The Moon goddess demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4QcQfXsE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7G5uA308O
“You know they did.” He snapped with a petulant pout.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWtPtOSNpS
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWbm7jUXCV
The memories assaulted Arianrhod of her holding the broken and dead body of her very first love. Don; supposedly her mother, was the undisputed ruler of all Undine fae in Leth`Evana but she had not cared. Hate unlike anything had overcome her and there had been a storm of hurricane like proportions on the isles that day. Gwydion and Fionn had had to drag her away and calm her lest she destroy parts of Briton and Eire. Yes, that particular day had been hideous on so many levels. She had learned to not weep over it but the war she had started was one that had cost many ekimmu their very existence and many fae had been slain as the rivers of crimson had run through the veils.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vTJ2guxKc
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnX5ke7lIh
“Come we shall talk no more of it, but I must meet with Fionn on the morrow.” Her voice softened to calm her very sullen twin.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hpBCBJuph
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF8J6C9q5B
“Must you?” he complained.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhV39HWQB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMNfz730l
“Yes Gwydion, I must for the heaven’s sake! One of us actually must rule you know.” Arianrhod chided him.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqV9oFPpM
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit324sT28K
“I can think of so many other wonderful things I would rather be doing sister.” Gwydion hinted at.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWYAjF0Z38
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC3jkMcrrg
“Of course you can but then you always do. Now I must go and see to the lands.” Her reply came and it obviously displeased him.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJCHNneS6
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKJlhRojpG
“I do not give a fig about the fae anymore sister and frankly neither should you. Let Fionn or even Bilae handle the elven mess. Better yet contact Arawn!” He demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7xvat8VkQ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgdQSTUarM
“This discussion is over Gwydion. Play or whatever, but war is again on the horizon.” Arianrhod said with rising temper.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1kigyOmN9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlON28ZfEg
He watched his beloved sister walk out of their throne room and he sat up petrified. If she knew, if she knew the truth then not only would he loose his place by her place, but Fionn would have his way to waltz any direction he chose. The disgusting elves could not stay in Leth`Evana, where they belonged, they had to return to this plane, where ekimmu were the masters over all the underling daemons and the emerging mortals. Gwydion stood up and the brown fur fell to his dais and he too quickly left the throne room. In his rising temper, his skin was slowing taking on a blue caste to it and anyone who saw him, they would know that the “trickster” of Caer Sidi was in fact the god of snow and ice; that was the element that he commanded. Arianrhod had inherited the control of the very air itself and the ability to manipulate that particular element could be deadly. When the twins joined their elements; they were nigh unstoppable. The price they paid for commanding the very weather and elements was that they required the stuff of life itself; founts of the claret essence. The throne room stood empty except for the lone messenger waiting for the ice to melt on his foot.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiYDjotFqV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2l0h5vrGj
Arianrhod watched Fionn Hammel wield his hammer against the shield of one of his soldiers and he barked orders.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRjgIXXhL
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuAT0sgqAx
“Anticipate me boy! I am your enemy this moment, think as if you are me!” Fionn growled at the younger ekimmu.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV12nORg5lv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05V7J0luM7
Fionn was aware of HER presence, but then he was always aware of her presence. He could never forgive himself for the sin he had committed nor the aftermath of that sin. The only good thing that had come from that time was his beloved niece, Nemain. She was Gwydion’s daughter but she was a warrior like Arianrhod and him. He was training this very talented young man named Gavin Tremin; Fionn always had need of loyal and discrete warriors.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF50567DPp0
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXvsqW5Wd
“Bravo Fionn! Who are you dear boy?” Arianrhod asked watching her warrior half-brother and leader of warriors.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEq6S1ZvO5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYnCOsm8zV
“Gavin milady!” The dark haired ekimmu bowed and stopped the spar for a moment.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj6UfuhT1P
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhWV5UmrqO
“Well Gavin we have need of you and very soon.” His queen stated as she neared Fionn.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON5BS5F3Kx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs1JDR9pgB
“Arianrhod? What do you go on about?” Fionn demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUE21Uw5mp
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTth8OZ5vdr
“Fionn there have been not only Undine seen on the Isles but also the Woodlawn fae.” She murmured softly.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11C3aSjuCV
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIg3rcuUM
“Because they have been seen does not mean they are here for battle Sister.” The ekimmu of Thunder stated flatly.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx2fDsaqJE
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLA3mUBVGF
“One fae steps foot into my kingdom and this plane and I shall rip open their throats and drink them dry as I leave their corpses to dry into mummified husks!” came her angry cry.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ndFgJxej
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqbyJy7h6N
“I understand you anger…” Fionn tried to say.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhMvoQM5TG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtBDJjimM1
“THIS IS NOT ABOUT NWYVRE!” Arianrhod actually snarled and slapped her chief warrior across his strong and sculpted cheek.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS9rnnVbGZ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rGCSsAvZq
“I suppose Sister that I shall find you in a bit.” He said stiffly and without emotion.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvpr8Tm2Fr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpOcz3tdm4
She started to stop him but held in the pain. After Nwyvre’s death, Fionn had gotten terribly drunk on fae blood and spirits and the man that was truly Fionn was bared. Arianrhod loved him deeply but he shut her out of his mind and heart after that night and she had done something wretched; she allowed Gwydion to claim and raise Nemain as his own daughter. Neither man knew any different, nor did she have no intention of changing it. Gwydion was her consort/co-ruler and Fionn was their lead warrior, it was all as it should be. She felt the eyes of the young warrior on her and she looked at him sharply.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4loI1SbkF
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zEMstoHe9
“Yes young Gavin?” She demanded coldly.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGbPs5HbJS

“Hitting Fionn milady?” he boldly asked.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd7tbdEdfI
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrorDup40a9
“Never question who has the rule here boy. Fionn knows this as I am the very air in which you breathe.” Arianrhod said closing the space between him and the arrogant boy.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8OyNzEiqv
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRebJtGvxy
Gavin only wore a navy blue tunic that skimmed his ankles and it was belted with a thick braided leather belt. He wore woven leather sandals and held a round bronze colored shield. His eyes narrowed and she noticed they were hazel. His skimmed his shoulders in all one length.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7u8MVu2W2
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGiDKZmvrK
“Kneel.” Her voice rang throughout the practice arena that was comprised of sand and in the shape of the stones.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaXc7dsUtG
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1fGBhSmSK
Gavin actually grew afraid and Arianrhod stood over him as her eyes began to take on a turbulent and stormy blue that would glow in the dark. Her white-silver was down and came to above her backside. She ripped the flower diadem from her head and threw them away.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5zKsZRW7z
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3BF5FoX5
“Give me your wrist.” She demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpC8jmlry5
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8NlAwz4kx
He did as he was told and she viciously bit into his forearm and began to drink forcefully. There was no pleasure in this act, it was a lesson to be given and Gavin was horrified to be fed from as if he was one of the mortals or lesser daemons. Arianrhod drained much of his life force and raised her bare foot and shoved him backwards with much force.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmrIeE1Kwt
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHqgsn2nS
“Next time you question me on anything Gavin Tremin, you will not be reborn, and you will only be dead.” She stated as she walked away with blood stained lips.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07zbeU3tI

“Yes.” She said sitting on her granite throne.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPnmdnF388
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBkEph1z97
She was now wearing a black filmy gauze dress that tied around her neck and her eyes took on that haunting look as she stared at Fionn. Her nails dug into the granite and her eyes were getting stormy.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANA3O1x0M8
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Dja9dMDd

451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hjTgUWd3c
He was one of the few who dared speak to her impertinently and she allowed it because not only did she love him more than she should but she respected him. Fionn stood taller than most ekimmu and had the fairest of blonde hair. He wore a beard but it was kept immaculately groomed and his mane came to just past his shoulders and he usually wore it down. For the moment he was wearing a loose green tunic with Celtic symbols embroidered in gold along its edges and belted at his waist with a thick leather belt. He wore his deer hide boots and his hammer and shield were not on him at the moment but he always wore his iron gauntlets except when he slept; which was seldom.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmaJ2epXTb
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78zdLGYVHZ
“Fine but he dared to speak against me as if he were someone I should listen to, please Fionn control your underlings better.” Arianrhod commanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdkVlpBHP1

451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1p023ac8a
Gwydion was nearby the entrance to the throne room and he smirked at Fionn’s indifference and that made him giddy. His twin had never forgotten her feelings for the half ekimmu and Gwydion had never forgotten his hatred either.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Jgse4QEB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jkbC7XeZJ

Fionn stormed away and Gwydion entered his twin’s presence. She looked at him oddly and he gave her the warmest smile that he could.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBEjGgpyTQ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjETVBYFKs
“Why do you torment him so?” She demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSYtSoSMr
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29vxytubwU
“Because he is a half blood and unworthy of you in any way, I am your twin and your equal.” He shrugged with arrogance.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyPQ4Gpty9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIu3ezfAbj
The Silver Wheel rolled her magnificent eyes and sat back on her throne. Anger coursed through her on many levels. Fae were in HER lands and old feelings were rearing their ugly head. Gwydion could see much on the face of his goddess and he straddled her hips. He wore only kidskin leggings that had been dyed black and nothing else and she looked up at him.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnulhHpWVvx
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlmtsY03yx
“Whatever happens we shall face together. Whatever threat happens across this land we shall eradicate; TOGETHER Piuthar. You are me and I am you. We shall always be two halves of a whole. Remember that.” Gwydion said softly.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrbUVWAvmn
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEF1hIjTRX
He gently tilted her chin up and lowered his lips to hers. He claimed her mouth and dominated her as he always did. She could not stop herself nor did she want to because she knew Gwydion was right on this topic. His queen reached up and buried one hand in his golden hair and wrapped the other around his neck to get him closer. Their tongues clashed and traced the other’s fangs as the heat between them was immense. Her eyes glowed again but this time in passion as her consort took his pleasure and she took. Arianrhod lifted her mouth from Gwydion’s lips and suddenly bit into his chest and he threw back his head and began to moan obscenely as she took from him.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystiOLfvZ3
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauBfiGbijL

451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T9zGB0qaW
Her face was painted blue as was Fionn’s and every other ekimmu warrior. They had entered the homeland of the fae; Leth`Evana. Arianrhod wore a white breast plate, matching gauntlets, and a white helmet. Gwydion was near her and he wore only a loose tunic top and leather breeches in white and blue; his signature colors. Under her armor she wore a thicker stolla dress in white. The warrior maiden looked as if a ghost with a blue face and she was astride a mount. Before them was a large contingent of Undine and it looked a sea of white. The Undine fae were “water”elves and that was their element. Most of the Undine had white hair except the rare exception of the occasional black haired ones; Nwyvre having been one of those.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhURG4awi
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl855Wo35F
“Tell me why you enter my land and our plane and you may escape this battle.” She yelled out from her demonic horse.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i3ewet2yg

“We do not answer to you filthy ekimmu whore!” One tall Undine called out and Arianrhod turned her attention to him.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoTxDGmjK7

“He is mine. Fionn, converge upon the left flank and give them everything we have.” Came her command as she spurred her animal into action.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaFrDT2pFB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEfEvxAssf
Fionn gave the call of their kind and it was unmistakable, it sounded close to an eagle’s cry as the ekimmu surged forward. Arianrhod was already ahead and had slipped from her mount and she held out her hand, a white-silver blade materialized with an ivory hilt. The tall Undine went on the defensive as she slashed at him with overhead strikes with the strength of many men. The fae man did manage to get his great spear into her upper arm but it only served to further anger her and she whirled in a full arc to avoid his deadly weapon again.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZfdRoycMJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvVWOCK1D
“Meet my starrfhiacail elf!” The ekimmu queen yelled.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo5ZE5T4QB
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3gPYwVuRJ
“You who are of Don and you fight us?” the Undine demanded as he ducked her deadly swing.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITAPb4mxq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c6aMYX6Ov
“That insipid wench is only a vessel, your kind should know better and we ekimmu are here to give that lesson. Your lot is murderers!” She snarled as she slashed straight through his chainmail.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLH3b6eMvJ
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyHKkNc7OE
The Undine grunted in pain as his russet colored life force dripped from the gaping wound. Arianrhod imagined laying the fae upon the field and drinking him till he was a husk and the high that would follow would indeed be sweet. Her weapon and his met over and over as they were checking the other. She was glorying in the physicalness of the battle and she could hear the death cry of many Undine. Arianrhod jumped left and arced around fully and delivered a surprise blow to the fae’s middle. The pale eyes of her nemesis were clouded in pain and hers had taken on the haunting look when she called upon her elemental abilities.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O24b9a9vh
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDxo0nvFIN

“Your kind killed my first love! Why should I show ANY of you mercy? Tell me why?” Arianrhod hissed in his face and a bit of her blue war paint smeared his flawless skin.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK9mD5lQX9
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUr61bWA5X

451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGzMCG7Nt
Arianrhod’s eyes narrowed and she whirled around and took off the head of another Undine. The one who was bleeding before her eyes was sickened as the head rolled in front of him and the eyes were still looking around.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYP7nG7qq
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh1gVUl6KH
“No, I shall not give you death Undine. You will return to Caer Sidi as my slave. You will serve the ekimmu. Now tell me, am I not merciful?” She demanded.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonVvbv1k5E
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHg9RmM0QV
The Undine refused to speak as death surrounded him on all sides. The Abhainn Undine had been the ones foraying into the ekimmu kingdoms but it was Don who was paying the price. He lifted his weakened head and he could only feel hate for the blood drinking elemental.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiEZMKfu0D

“I do not remember asking for your permission Fionn Hammel. He comes back to Caer Sidi and that is my wish.” Arianrhod shrugged as she strode to her steed.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMdVyQbONE

“He was not afraid of me. All fae should fear me and all ekimmu and I shall put the fear of us into him.” She smiled with malice.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXUtu6AzNO

Gwydion smirked at her hatred and he looked at Fionn. Their secret was safe and the lead ekimmu wanted to be sick. He hated fae just like any ekimmu but he had committed a horrible sin with his putrid half-brother. Fionn wanted no part of the depravity and he just walked away and Arianrhod was puzzled but shrugged. All she cared about was avenging Nwyvre’s memory and teaching the fae that it was HER realm and not theirs. She turned her mount back towards Caer Sidi and Gwydion mounted behind her; her captured Undine was lead in his chains silently back into the fold of his enemies lair.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJirdPu92ZH
