#ladies of the forest

TIARRA - IELELE

Se mișcă pădurea cu foșnetul aiurea,

Aprinde luna, ascultă furtuna

Și vântul în zbor prin părul lor,

Noaptea tăcută pașii le frământă.

.

Sunt ielele, ielele, nebunele,

Ielele, ielele, nebunele.

.

Și trupurile lor pe pământul gol

În iureșul jocului, la lumina focului,

Se mișcă pădurea cu foșnetul aiurea,

Aprinde luna, ascultă furtuna.

.

Ca prin vis te cheamă la ele,

Nu te uita în ochii lor,

În mintea ta te îndeamnă la uitare,

Nu te lăsa cuprins de visare.

.

Pașii lor în noapte se-aud printre șoapte,

Umbrele lor se coboară ușor,

Se pierd în zare, rămân doar lacrimi amare,

În urma lor te topești de dor.

The Ladies of the Forest

(Or; Wicked Fairies)

.

The forest moves

With a strange rustling

The Moon shines

The Storm listens

.

And the wind in the air

Through their hair

The silent night

Steps scare them

.

They are fairies,

Madness (that brings madness)

fairies,

crazy fairies

 .

And their ways

On the empty place

In the middle of game

At the light of the fire

 .

The forest moves

With a strange rustling

Moon shines

Storm listens

 .

They are fairies

crazy fairies

fairies

crazy fairies....

......

FOLKLORE

The iele are feminine mythical creatures in Romanian mythology. There are several differing descriptions of their characteristics.

Often they are described as faeries (zâne in Romanian), with great seductive power over men, with magic skills and attributes similar to nymphs, naiads and dryads found in Greek mythology.

The iele are said to live in the sky, in forests, in caves, on isolated mountain cliffs and in marshes, and reported to have been seen bathing in the springs or at crossroads. From this point of view, the Iele are similar to the Ancient Greek Hecate, a three headed goddess of Thracian origin, who guards crossroads.

They mostly appear at night by moonlight, as dancing Horas, in secluded areas such as glades, the tops of certain trees (maples, walnut trees), ponds, river sides, crossroads or abandoned fireplaces, dancing naked, with their breasts almost covered by their disheveled hair, with bells on their ankles and carrying candles.

In almost all of these instances, the Iele appear to be incorporeal. Rarely, they are dressed in chain mail coats.

The effect of their specific dance, the Hora is similar to the dances of the Bacchantes.

The iele are said not to be solitary creatures, but gather in groups in the air, where they can fly with or without wings; they can travel with incredible speeds, either on their own, or with chariots of fire.

The iele appear sometimes with bodies, at other times only as immaterial spirits.

They are young and beautiful, voluptuous immortals, their frenzy causing delirium in onlookers, and with bad tempers, but not being necessarily evil.

They come in groups of three or seven.

[luna-loveboop]

Currently obsessed with the idea that the boys go to Time for love advice, since "he's married so he knows this stuff right?"

I mean they couldn't recognize a wedding ring??? And neither did he???

And time was saying this in his youth I mean cmon

Twilight: So ancestor. What would you do if like. Malon left to another world and never came back

Time: ... bro Malon called me fairy boy and then we were married like what

Hyrule: So uhh old man. How does one. Meet a girl.

Time: By speaking to her I guess? Or not, Malon did the talking for me

Hyrule: riiiiight...

Wild *no tact*: Hey so like... what if your redheaded wife who's name started with M died.

Time: what?!?!

Wild, undeterred: but like before she proposed.

Time: ...

Wild: and you don't remember if you would have said yes. What's your advice for dealing with that?

Time: ... vent to a fairy?

Warriors: hey old man

Time: no no no not this one asking me please

Warriors: how do I get women to stop coming after me. So I can ya know. Choose without war trying to force me into relationships

Time: I can safely say I've never had that problem captain

Wars: of course not *smirks*

Wars: ok but seriously how do I make them go away

Time: ... wear a wedding ring so they think you're taken, I've got a shiny extra

Time: no no why- they won't stop, I don't know how to do love!

Time: ok well at least I have legend. That kid would never ask for advice, I'll sit by him.

Legend: so old man.

Time, looking forward to a normal conversation: yeah?

Legend: hypothetically, what would you do if you found out Malon didn't exist.

Legend: And her whole world didn't, but it did, and now it doesn't

Time: ...Excuse me for a minute.

Time, writing a letter as fast as he can: MALON HOW DO I GIVE LOVE ADVICE THEY THINK IM WISE

Malon: lol

Happy Valentine's Day guys, have a headcanon :P

The boys go to Time for love advice and Time spouts whatever wise-sounding bs he can, before shoving them all on Malon for therapy when they visit the ranch

Forest House headcanon? If anyone cares?

The Forest House has indoor lighting that matches the Autumn Court aesthetic: hollow tree trunks that glow! Root chandeliers! Fae light mushrooms! Petrified wood lamps!
