Headcanon: How Mermaid Powers Work - from a Scientific Point of View

Sup homies. I’m back with a long-awaited post - the science being the entirety of the mermaid power set. Recently I’ve been more into molecular science and physics than I'd ever thought I’d like to, so I’ve gathered around some information that I, personally found pretty interesting.

So what forces could make water move around like that? Or change into ice? Or generate a spontaneous wave? The show provides a lot of information about the elemental powers and we get some of the most solid evidence for it. For instance, the show establishes early on that celestial forces have a huge impact on a mermaid's powers, especially since the moon pool itself is made of a moon rock, that arrived to Earth by a comet, and we learned that the girls' powers are strongest during a full moon. The mermaids draw their power from the moon, and seem to be stronger at night. Their powers were magnified during the seventh moon cycle at the beginning of season 2, and every full moon they seem to have stronger powers (for instance, Rikki could create fire in season 1, despite only being able to heat water during that time).  

We also learned that eclipses have the opposite effect on mermaids, as they completely lose their abilities when the moon is eclipsed. Just this information alone gives us key Intel about the underlying science behind mer-powers. A lunar eclipse is gonna block a mermaid's powers entirely. Now the moon doesn't emit any sort of solar radiation per se, but it does exert another major force on Earth – gravity. Gravity from the moon is in fact what makes all water on Earth bend in the first place - in the form of ocean tides and currents - all caused by water sloshing around on the face of the Earth. It's literally bent outward by the gravity of the Moon on one side and then sloshes back on the far side of the Earth, effectively creating these bulges on either side of the world where the high tides are, and the water in the middle is being sucked out, creating low tides. And the show absolutely knows that this connection exists and it does a really good job of reflecting it as a basic property of mermaid powers. From the earliest episodes of Mako Mermaids, the student mermaids are creating tides - it's literally the first power move that they are being taught. They're using the moon's tides to create waves and they use this basic skill a lot to move boats, for example - all starting with the fundamental idea that tides are controlled by the gravity of the Moon.

So, that's cool and all, but I hear you asking what about the more complex stuff, like Charlotte literally making water snakes?

Well as good of a start as gravity is, we know that things are gonna start to get a bit more complicated as we dip our toes into advanced mermaids powers. From the mid-air drinking to the good ol' water snakes, this level of precision makes my gravity explanation feel a bit laughable, so scientifically there has to be something else layered on here that's gonna allow mermaids to control water more directly. The good news is that it's theoretically possible to control water not with hand waving or various CGI shots but with the powers of electromagnetism.

Now most of us are generally aware that water is electrically conductive but not necessarily for the reasons that we expect. It's not the water itself that's electrically conductive, it's actually the salts that exist within the water. Regardless though, it's the reason that you don't go swimming in a lightning storm or do your hair in a bathtub. It's because the salts within the water are super conductive and lightning, or electricity flowing from your wall socket, loves to run through it, and as a result, will also run through you if you happen to be swimming in it. But electrically charging water isn't gonna do anything to make it move, it just makes it more dangerous.

That's why mermaids also requires the magnet part of electromagnetism. If someone were to ask you if water's magnetic, most of us would say no, right? It doesn't contain any sort of iron or metal, and doesn't really seem to do anything when I wave my magnet at it. That's not entirely correct; the truth is that water is actually diamagnetic, meaning that any magnetic field, whether positively or negatively charged, is actually gonna repel water. So if you put a magnet near some water you'll see the water is being very slightly bent by the magnet, pushed away from the magnetic field. This is quite literally hydrokinesis at a microscopic level, where the magnetic fields are pushing the atoms of the water away. So theoretically speaking a mermaid could do the exact same thing by creating electromagnetic fields that are strong enough they can actually push the water away from herself, creating all the cool awesome moves that they do in the show.

Now if you're a physicist this explanation is gonna be pretty simplistic, but for our purposes it actually explains a lot of things that we see play out in the series. Mermaids rarely touch the water as they're manipulating it, which makes sense because the water is always being repelled from them, and the intricate curves and shapes that you see them making are coming from the electrical field that's applied to the water. Water molecules generally have a small negative electric charge, so by creating small electrical fields that are also negative (because like charges repel each other) mermaids could theoretically redirect the flow of the water midstream, creating swirls, shapes, bubbles, whatever they wanted, which is exactly what we see them creating with more and more precision over the course of the show.

Cleo's earlier moves focus on establishing an electromagnetic field for simple shapes, but once she learned to control the fields with greater precision, it's only a matter of time before she's water-spearing it up with her best of snakes and what not. We also know that we're specifically dealing with electromagnetism and not simply magnetism because of Rikki. Just like Cleo, Rikki is also a master of manipulation of electricity and charged particles.

In season three, we see Rikki creating lighting on several occasions, and it's all based on the principle of generating an electrical current and directing it through the air. In theory, this same principle actually explains some of the weirder mermaid powers from Mako, including seaweed growing, or Zac's powers over Carly's vocal chords. All of which can be manipulated using electromagnetic fields. Create a strong enough field and you can bend a plant by bending all the water inside of it. By the same token you can bend a person if all the water in their organs and bloodstream are being pulled in one direction.

So electromagnetic manipulation explains a lot of mermaid powers, but it still leaves us with one big missing piece that I can't just make melt away: Emma and Bella's powers. These two's powers both involve significant phase shifting between water's states of matter, particularly liquid and solid. Ice or jello to water and vice versa. Emma's frost, the snow, even the rocks that Bella used to cross the stream - they are all valid techniques of mermaids not purely explained by electromagnetic fields. Or are they?

The techniques that we've covered involve manipulating the motion of large groups of water molecules – puddles, lakes, ocean waves - but what if we wanted to manipulate motion on a smaller scale? In chemistry and physics, you learn about thermodynamics, and you find out that on the molecular scale the idea of temperature is really a measure of motion. Molecules are moving fast? Well, we perceive that as hot. That bowl of soup you got there is no different chemically whether it's hot or cold - it's just that the molecules in your hot soup are moving a lot and in your cold soup they're just kind of sluggish. The same goes with ice and water. Liquid water molecules move and flow and wiggle and have a good ol' water molecule time, but ice molecules are locked together in a crystal lattice structure, just like you see in snowflakes. There's still a tiny bit of movement there, like, they can kinda wiggle around in their framework, but the motion is much less than in liquid or gas phase. We know that mermaids have the ability to turn water from liquid to ice, so what are they really doing in those instances?

Well, on a super small scale, they're manipulating water molecules to slow their individual movements, or, in physics terms, their kinetic energy. As they lose movement, they lose energy, becoming colder. If the mermaid is able to slow down the individual molecules enough they'll start to lock together into that crystal structure we call ice. The key is the use of those same electromagnetic fields to slow the movement of individual molecules to lock them in place. The same applies to viscosity. In everyday terms, viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction" of a liquid. Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity). By manipulating the water molecules and moving them closer, a mermaid like Bella could alter the viscosity of the water around her.

So basically, mermaids are just big ass magnets swimming the ocean. Which is a wonderful thing to think about in four in the morning instead of sleeping as I'm doing right now. Gn.

Dimensional Realities: Learning from the Ancient Egyptians

I’ve recently felt very fatigued about much of what our society deems as the “truth”. I have been blessed with incredible intuition and God enters my subconscious via Holy Spirit when there’s an answer to be sought. In the midst of finals week, I grew curious about Ancient Egyptian civilization after reading Exodus, the second book in the Old Testament. This new inquisitive attitude toward the Ancient Egyptian culture allowed me to soon stumble upon a paradigm-shifting documentary called: The Pyramid Code. 

The first episode of The Pyramid Code ultimately questions the most common ideologies of egyptologists, specifically the claims that pyramids were built as tombs for pharaohs and their significant others. But why would the Egyptians spend so much time and effort building the largest man-made structures on Earth, at the time, to simply serve them as burial sites? That doesn’t make sense; my instinct leads me to believe there must be a greater incentive or purpose for the pyramid-building Egyptians. Not to mention the “historical” stories about slaves using pulley systems to transport these massive stones 455 feet into the air during a time in which human innovation systems were still archaic - eyebrow raising, to say the least. 

The ancients built many powerful structures, utilizing their environmental elements and the energy naturally existing within their ancient earth. In considering the strategic placement and crafting of these structures, khemitologists, those who study the mysticism behind Ancient Egypt, have reason to believe that pyramids were bio-organic energy devices that used their complex architecture, frequencies of sound, and varying temperatures of water all simultaneously to generate an electromagnetic energy field. This unique atmosphere free from post-industrialization muck might explain the superior spirituality the ancient Egyptians had access to, with divine force being sufficient in defending the Ancient people’s capabilities despite their lack of tangible and intellectual resources.

It’s hard for us to fathom our ancient ancestors being more technologically and spiritually advanced than we are today, but their higher dimensional sensibilities are far beyond the comprehension of a third dimensional mind, one characterizing duality - without a linkage of body and spirit. How many senses do we actively use... five, right? Well, the Egyptians had expanded their minds so extensively that they were able to access and exercise an estimated 360 senses. I too often give our society the benefit of the doubt by theorizing that the unique energies that the Egyptians had immediate access to are scarce today, as human behavior has fostered third dimensional growth, of the body and within the bounds of Earth, substantially more so than fifth dimensional growth, of the spirit. Despite our environmental constraints, I still refuse to excuse the societal agenda in which seeking said higher levels of consciousness is neglected tremendously. 

Quantum physics have proven that our thoughts create our realities and that everything is simply energy vibrating at a certain depth of resonance. A dimension is a gathering of a particular resonance. Third dimensional, fourth dimensional, and fifth dimensional consciousness are not different realities, rather different metaphoric lenses in which we experience reality. Someone in the fifth dimension cannot possibly convince someone in the third dimension to see things their way until the third dimensional person goes through a literal energetic transformation and further generates their own higher frequencies, a gift that I believe comes from our creator, God. 

How do you know what dimension you’re in?

Well, I’ll give you a brief rundown:

Third dimensional reality is characterized by a dark, physical reality revolving around materialistic and superficial thoughts that are controlled by the ego, an intangible force that is manifested within the mind. This is the dominant mode in which our society operates, with their ego’s facilitating and usually dictating their thoughts and actions unconsciously. If one is in the third dimension, they might seek fulfillment from tangible things outside of their corporeal bodies; things such as money, material possessions, relationships, physical attributes, status, etc. One in the third dimension probably resonates with the typical economists’ ideology that resources are scarce, and it likely feels natural to lie, cheat, and compete with others in order to make it because ‘everybody does it’. In the third dimension, your actions are driven by the instincts of your physical reality. Your concept of reality may imply the following: 

        “I am only human.”                  

        “I need another person to make me happy.”

        “I need to own certain things.” 

Your subconscious experience of reality may cause you to think things like:

        “I have to be right.” 

        “It’s okay if I lie, if my reasoning is just.”

        “I am better than they are.”

        “I’m mad because... *insert external factor here*”

By learning to control the mental body, negative experiences can be diminished and enlightenment can eventually be achieved. It’s not easy to control your thoughts, trust me I know.. but negative thoughts are the source of one’s negative experiences. People who live in the third dimension suffer from the illusion of separation from their spirit. The physical senses cannot detect Spirit and until we are at one with our own spirit, we cannot be at one with others’ mind, body, or spirit. 

Fourth dimensional reality is considered the astral plane, where the forces of Light and Darkness meet and where space and time are considered. The link between the third dimensional physical body and the fourth dimension is the emotional body. The emotional body studies the astral plane and the mental body does it’s best to interpret the information it receives (people often experience this reality while under the influence of psychedelic drugs... though I’m not encouraging the use of illegal substances). Those who struggle ascending from fourth dimensional vibrations often steal energy from a third dimensional body in order to get Source energy. Without realizing it, your time in this dimension might be spent working out your “karma”, trying to psychically manipulate others, preaching the right way to serve and be worthy in the eyes of God, etc. 

The attention shifts from the material world to a pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The ego is still present in this plane and it now has resources such as the physical, astral and mind bodies to achieve its worldly purposes. As you start to recognize the absurdity in third dimensional reality, you may describe yourself as “awake” while judging those you feel are still asleep. As the veil is lifted and you start to let go of the rigid concepts you have been conditioned to believe as real, you may become resentful toward the government and other powerful leaders. You might try to bring others with you on this spiritual journey, or notice that many more are being left behind as you can no longer resonate with their lower frequencies of negativity and ignorance. Your ego structure may now be spiritually themed; however, you realize the only way of reaching the next level of consciousness is by eradicating the ego altogether. 

Fifth dimensional reality is characterized by living through love and experiencing complete peace as you shed the third dimensional fears and anxieties. When you consciously pursue ascension, consciousness begins to awaken and you will eventually detach from your ego as you become connected with God, the universe, and the source energy that has always been within us. Rather than blindly following religious rules, you begin to have faith in the divinity of your journey and you focus on healing yourself rather than changing the world. In this reality, you feel no need to deceive others because you recognize soul growth is a unique process for everyone and have detached from the fearful ego that provokes judgement. Those who have ascended note feeling lighter, more loving, more hopeful and more in the “now”. 

Biblical scholars often refer to this period as the “end time” since many of our faith’s seem to be preparing us for the end of something, but really it is just a transitional time prior to experiencing a major evolutionary leap forward where we have a much more enlightened and connected human race. Ancient Mayan prophecy says that after 2012, a “cosmic sky portal” would open and a time for awakening would occur - an event that happens approximately every 26,000 years. Ancient Egyptians were not obsessed with death, as many of us might believe, but the incarnations of dimensional realities and the “afterlife” transition to the stars. This ascension process strives to find oneness with the god-consciousness we were created with; Human consciousness can be described as god-consciousness + thoughts. Gaining control over one’s thoughts and deciphering between the voices within them allows us to become the masters of our existence. 

I can’t help but to think back to the dimensional, mental, and spiritual state I was in a year ago and how dark my very existence was.  I battled a constant feeling of anxiety about what had happened in the past, what might happen in the future, what people thought of me, and how I could simply make it in the third dimensional world. I distrusted almost everything and everyone but rightfully so, when so much of what we are taught is based on a self-serving, third dimensional agenda. I can also now understand why so many people stray away from religion; intellectuals won’t buy it if there’s fallacies in the teachings. I have learned that many people find comfort in believing what they have been told or in shunning the idea altogether. Rather than submitting to learned helplessness, we must seek the answers and strive to better ourselves.

If I told you it was possible to live a happy, loving, and peaceful life, would you believe me? What can you do right now to make that dream a reality? Start today by ignoring or arguing every negative thought that pops into your head. Ignoring them doesn’t work for me so I literally argue with myself, I explain to myself why whatever negative thing that happened is actually a good thing and ask myself what the lesson was. There is no difference between good and bad, there are simply lessons and teachers. If you would like to further your understanding of the three dimensions aforementioned, start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clG7ikTkVYE. I encourage you to stay discerning and continue your own research. God will show you the way if you ask Him.

The Rose Court, Promise, Prologue, Chapter 1 and Aside:

Promise

Masquerade dies, and the Storyteller is the reason for this.

Prologue: The Storyteller

Something that looked like a man opened the door to the dingy room. This being wasted no time, heading directly to one of the chairs. Pulling the chair out and sitting down with a sort of measured strength, the being looked across the table that he was now seated at.

With a smirk on his face, he spoke, “well now, it’s nice to see you here after you’ve been on such a long journey.”

The other person at the table just looked at him flatly.

“There’s no reason to be like that. Why don’t you just sit back and relax,” said the Storyteller, “I’ve got a story for you that will completely stretch what you believe. Do you want to hear it.”

The other person remained silent.

“I’ll take that as a ‘yes’ then,” said the Storyteller, drawing his chair in closer, with a genuine grin spreading across his features.

“Just tell me at any point if you want me to stop and I’ll leave you alone and be out of your hair. But until then, I hope you are ready for a story that, to the common man, should seem impossible. I suppose that I should really begin at the beginning, and one of the few instances where I actually involved myself in the story…”

Chapter 1: Prologue

Sometimes the wheels of fate only need the tiniest bit of grit for the future to change. And sometimes the wheels of fate need a really good kick, quite literally in this case.

The hallway was the sort of place that looked like it should smell of antiseptic, but it didn’t. Partly because no-one who mattered cared about the humans in this place, and partly because changelings are made of much sterner stuff than humans.

It was a neat little corridor, acting as a path between testing and the general creche of the changelings. Admittedly, there was the slight flaw that this corridor was also the best path between Research and Development and the testing facilities for baby creatures. I say ‘creatures’ even though it was used almost exclusively for changelings because of the one non-changeling thing that was also being tested.

This non-changeling thing, that to this day isn’t properly speciated, was on it’s way back from being tested, being wheeled in a tiny cot by one of the human nurses. At the same time, another nurse was wheeling a changeling in to testing.

As far as their rather pathetic human eyes could tell, both of them were alone in the corridor. As you should well know, aren’t exactly the most astute of creatures, so when I gave one of the cots a solid kick, it careened into the other.

It was basically chaos then. ‘Babies’, though I hesitate to use that word to describe either changelings or whatever Masquerade is, went flying through the air. Not literally flying I hasten to add, changelings are entirely without glam, and Masquerade never did go out of her way to learn how to form wings, lighten bones and so on.

I divert myself though, bed clothes also went all over the place, the cots twisted out of the the nurses’ hands (helped by me) and they landed on their sides. All of this was just set dressing for the real sleight of hand. Importantly neither nurse knew which baby-like thing was which. Fortunately for them, the pajamas of the two creatures they were moving about were differently coloured, so it should have been easy to tell them apart.

Unfortunately for them, I was there. A couple of quick bits of glam and each creature looked as if it were the other. With a rather more ridiculous amount of subtle glam I made it so the changeling reacted to the future tests exactly as Masquerade would have done, at least for a time.

It’s worth mentioning that Masquerade hadn’t fully come into her power, so didn’t have anywhere near the magical consumption then as she does in later parts of the tale. Without that consumption, the resistance to glam that it represents, well the glam settled into her. Unlike with the changeling, this magic was designed to naturally trigger her to change appearance rather than having the glam linger on her. That would have still eroded to quickly.

When the glam disguising the changeling eventually wore off… well. To say that the fae were pissed off would be like saying a drop of water was an ocean. A jolly good laugh to be had there, watching them run around like headless chickens, cross-referencing records. A bit of redaction on my part helped the process of Masquerade not being found along.

Again I go off on a tangent. Needless to say, both the changeling and Masquerade started bawling and generally causing something of kerfuffle. Both nurses were fair worried that the noise would attract one of the fae. In their panic, it was very easy for the swap to take place.

Quite why I wanted to get Masquerade out of there… well, that is something that I’ll touch on later. Much later.

My choice in changeling was intentional, for it was one ready to be shipped out to replace a spark. That gave her plenty of time to get lost in the wide world of the lands ruled by the courts.

***

Masquerade grew fast. Naturally fast for whatever you want to call her species, but fast for humans. And she learned. When you can change your body, and are told to remember something, well...

To say that Masquerade was a cold child would not be wholly inaccurate. Oh her body temperature was fine enough, but she showed no emotion save those she chose. That would be because she could choose when and what emotions to have, so naturally she was usually a logical engine acting only for her own benefit.

As she grew, she began to understand the necessity of emotion to blend in with humans. One week she gave herself a deep-seated joy, not to the fullness of how she could change herself, but enough to leave her smiling all the time. After that week, Masquerade came to the conclusion that it made her vulnerable, and her survival instinct was strong.

And that, dear listener is why she didn’t live her life as a constantly blissed out mess. I mean, I feel it would have been rather a waste for her to live like that, and doubtless she would have been scooped up by one of the courts pretty quickly. Despite the benefits, the questions about why she hadn’t been taken younger might have led to investigations, which would inevitably turn to dissection. Fae are nice creatures like that.

So it was that Masquerade rarely used her emotions in her early life, when she was uncertain of how to control them and what they meant. Even when she did use her emotions, Masquerade kept them muted to protect herself. That would be emotional protection, because emotions easily morph from one to the other and creatures like Masquerade, well it takes time to make sure that her emotions stay fixed to what she wants.

Without emotion, well, Masquerade wasn’t exactly the most driven of people, nor could her adoptive parents use fear as a motivator. Besides, one does not simply control a changeling, and there is enough superstitious fear amongst humans that they would not dare.

Really, it makes you wonder how she got to where she was at the proper start of this tale. Well, let me illuminate it for you dear listener. Something that was not quite dissatisfaction with her lack of purpose arose within Masquerade. It was more the knowledge that she was a tool, but she was not being used, and without use, she would rust away as such. This should hardly come as a surprise, when she was first conceived Masquerade was always going to be a tool of the fae, so them building in an innate desire to work would only be natural.

Granting herself some drive and motivation; whilst away from others Masquerade began to experiment. As an entirely unnatural creature, such experiments were breaking new ground, though no-one else was available to recognise how significant the results were. I mean, it is not every day that you come across a genuine shape-shifter. To my knowledge there have been exactly three creatures of this world who could shape-shift, and she was one of them. Another was sealed somewhere dark, and full of pain. The last, well, I’ll leave that as a surprise.

Oh, Masquerade was limited, partly by her own thinking, but she never really tried to look like anything outside of fae or humans. Given that the two are the same basic shape, it’s hardly surprising that she could also mimic the hair colours and the like of the fae. It did have other advantages though, healing for Masquerade was much more rapid than for humans, though slower than fae. As I mentioned she could memorise things rather easily, and could access brutish strength or a dancer’s grace with ease.

When you’re giving yourself drive and motivation, but think of yourself as a means to an end, you really need a master or mistress. Masquerade pondered this conundrum for a short while, thinking about all the people she knew, as well as of the courts. She reached the own logical conclusion, she would be her own master. Mountains really should have trembled at that decision because it twisted the entire history of the courts away from what would have been their fate. To say it was momentous was an understatement, even if the decision was made by a six-year old whilst looking at the river that flowed near the village where she had lived until that point. Though as I said she grew quick, so she looked closer to seventeen or eighteen.

The entire village really paid no heed to her, and aided her parents in caring for this strange creature. To them, she was a changeling. They didn’t know any better. Given that the only time a fae would visit the village would have been to claim a spark and replace them with an actual changeling, it is hardly surprising that the court that created Masquerade never did learn what happened to their wayward science project.

I mention this to highlight how little of a difference her departure made to the village. She was strange, and her vanishing, well, it was something of a relief. Her parents were worried for a time that some fae lord would come along and strike them down for not taking care of what it saw as their child. Such fears were unfounded, with my meddling the courts didn’t even have a record of the village. Besides, punishing people for not taking care of a changeling was really only something that happened whilst the Iron Court ruled, and that was to heighten those feelings of burden, despair and fear on those who cared for changelings. Fae are nice like that.

So it was that this young creature made their way to Buutar, one of the major commercial hubs of the lands ruled by the courts. It sits quite neatly on the border between courts, with lands held by the Court of Vapours to the south, to the north-east (roughly), was Rose Court lands. Finally, to the north-west was Steel Court territory.

Given that trade did need to flow between the courts, and the courts were all technically united together, a city was built at the nexus. There were no fae in residence in Buutar outside of travel. That made the city a very attractive place to people who weren’t up to much good, or those who just wanted to lose themselves. It was also a fantastic location for the headquarters of the Human Resistance. Needless to say, it wasn’t the sort of place you would usually leave a child unattended, especially not one who looked like an adult.

Fortunately, Masquerade could take care of herself. As I mentioned she could grant herself silly amounts of strength, agility and resilience. Moreover, with her head mostly unclouded by emotions, she could methodically take down any threats. I say ‘methodically’ but I should point out that whilst methodically usually implies a lack of rapidity, that was not the case in this instance.

The first few gangs that saw Masquerade passed her up as a target, suspecting she was too obvious a bait. The gang that actually tried to mug and rape her, they all died in fairly short order. By the time a few more attempted muggings occurred, Masquerade had begun to get a solid understanding of the city.

Whilst she technically could have made an honest living, when you can literally change your appearance, so many other avenues open up to you. Seeing a niche that she could fulfil, Masquerade started an acquisitions and murder business. And by acquisitions I mean theft. No-one looks twice when the master of the house orders a painting taken down, or an heiress walks out to a ball with her very jewelry.

Given that the only known people who could change their actual appearance without disguise were the fae, Masquerade quickly became known as someone who could disguise themselves as anyone. After all, no fae would be wandering around Buutar stealing things through disguise when they could simply demand the item that caught their fancy.

This was a reputation Masquerade cultivated, even starting rumours that she only ever met clients in disguise. Whether you can call something a rumour when it is the effective truth, well that’s a debate for politicians or philosophers or someone who actually cares about the distinction. This reputation kept Masquerade safe. No-one would be willing to cross purposes against the false facer. And no-one would know what she looked like, because she could look like anyone.

Despite her notoriety, it only really existed in the underworld. Instead, Buutar was terrorised by the sneak thief and the bloody hand for almost fifteen years, before the spate of theft and murder ended. That was when Masquerade got her last job. The biggest job. The job that starts this tale, though the job is not how the whole tale ends. It was a job to infiltrate The Rose Court, and it is here that we begin our tale proper.

Aside - The Way of Things

I feel like before we continue dear listener, I should make some things clear so that you are not labouring under any false impressions. Also so that there is some clarity as to who is talking to whom. Believe me, when so many of the parties involved can look and sound like others, things can get rather confusing rather quickly. So I’ll give you a little bit of information that any reasonable, sane person should have, and I’ll throw in the conventions I’ll be using for names and genders.

I have already stated quite how far above a regular human or spark Masquerade is. You might think, out of ignorance perhaps, that Masquerade could maybe fight one of these fae, maybe even defeat one as she was at the start of this story. Nothing could be further from the truth.

You see, Masquerade against an army would have to resort to guerilla tactics. If she alone faced them on the field of battle her death would be assured. Now compare to the fae. The last recorded battle between humans and fae was a roughly ten thousand strong army raised by Enitan. She took to battle and was met by three well fed fae. The human army was wiped out to a person. None of the fae even felt the prick of the unworked iron that the elite cadre had to strike at them, let alone any other blades. It would be a match against a bonfire.

Oh, and assassination is right out, fae can use glam to heal from virtually any wound.

Basically, if you want to kill a fae, you need another fae. Given that all the fae courts are technically united, you might have a bit of trouble with that. This is also why the human resistance is just such a foolish idea. If the humans truly wanted to be free of fae rule they should flee north. Granted it’s unlikely they’d survive the border crossing, but hey, they’d still be free.

Now we come to the other, slightly sticky matter of names. To start with, unless someone is expressly using someone else’s true name, I’ll use their chosen name. As most humans, including sparks, are too ignorant to know better, they’ll just get their true name used, as that’s what they go by. Masquerade is a shortened form of her true name, and it is how she calls herself.

Nice and straightforward right? Well what if someone has taken on the appearance of another character? What am I to say then? I shall say that Tamara with the appearance of Fedi entered the conversation. Obviously changing the names as appropriate. Or something similar to that when the character first appears, but after that I shall refer to them as the name of the person they are appearing to be. Simple!

For pronouns, I’ll go with what Masquerade’s preference was, someone with the appearance of a male shall get hes and hims, females will get shes and hers. In the general case, I’ll use that person’s preferred pronoun. For example, I use female pronouns for Masquerade despite her technically being genderless, or all genders or whatever. This is because she prefers female pronouns. Given her nature, she dislikes a ‘they’ because she can be so many people, and ‘they’ is also a group pronoun… she likes to be an individual. Helps keep her sane.

At any rate, my aside is finished, and now we might return to the meat of this tale.
