#speir “sky” fae

[ominous-faechild]

CHARACTER INTRO:

FAERIE'S DAWN

SPÉIR “SKY” FAE

[rolling his eyes, slightly sarcastically) “Yes, I'm sure you're very important... but, anyways—”

(brokenly) “If I can't even protect her... then what good am I even for?” - Spéir “Sky” Fae

One of the many fae born in the early days of the Reborn World, Sky woke up in a world of chaos and magic. The Faewildes permeated all of what would have otherwise been reality, leaving the world nothing but madness.

This—a rapidly, ever-changing world of danger and subjugation—is the world that Sky grew up in.

In his early years, Sky was like most fae. He awoke in the midst of his domain, then wandered through the Faewildes aimlessly. What else was he to do, with no family or ties?

Then he ran into another faerie like him, much younger and so much more oblivious of the ways of the world and Faewildes. So he took her under his wing.

(Metaphorically speaking, of course.)

Together, they came up with their own names: Spéir (“Sky”) and Scamall (“Cloud”). Just like their domains.

And then they wandered into an archfaerie's dominion.

Where they were subjugated for years.

Until the Archfae made a terrible decision, bringing down the wrath of the God of The Faewildes Themself.

The entire dominion was destroyed, the Archfae killed, and the faeries under their will were freed.

Including Sky and Cloud.

Freedom

Unbound to an archfaerie, Sky and Cloud have been wandering from dominion to dominion as they try to find a place to call home.

Without an archfaerie's assistance, the pair was forced to once again scrounge for food and shelter amongst the ever-changing Faewildes.

... which they now knew to be Talamhdé, “God's Land”.

The soul and body of the God of The Faewildes Themself.

Sky and Cloud have spent the years since surviving the Wildes, weaving between archfaerie dominions, and praying to The Faewildes Themself for protection, guidance, and mercy.

... although Sky has never been that big of a fan of Them himself.

After all, They had never meant to save the two—They were just paying the Archfae back for their crimes against Them.

No, Sky simply paid The Faewildes Themself the same respect he pretended to pay archfae.

It was Cloud who thought they owed Them anything.

Magic & Combat

Sky is a celestial faerie: a faerie of the heavens.

He draws his power from the sky, the weather, and seasons.

Because of this, Sky is able to draw essence and use magic from a vast variety of domains: darkness at night, light during the day, cold during winters (or mornings), heat during summers (or midday), and so much more.

Still, Sky draws the most energy from his favorite domain: air.

Sky's versatile domain grants him an incredibly powerful and diverse array of powers, though he's hardly aware of his potential in combat. Still—archfae are able to see him for the threat he is, and most often ingratiate themselves to him for a potential ally in the future...

... or for someone to backstab when he has a lot more to give.

Sky is aware of his variable powers, but views it as a weakness: his strengths vary based on his environment and The Faewildes Themselves. (Making Them his biggest enemy yet, forcibly contorting him into whatever role They see fit for him at all times.) Because of this, a majority of his practice has gone into air, shadow, and light magic, which he can use a majority of the time.

Outside of combat, Sky has learned how to reinforce his will and, more questionably, how to reliably break the wills of fiends as well as other fae... although he's largely hidden that fact from Cloud.

Within combat, Sky most often dissolves into one of his elements to avoid attacks, then solidifies or controls them around his enemy(ies) offensively. He's able to use his air magic to lighten himself, allowing him incredible speed and reaction times.

Despite his incredible potential in combat, Sky has largely avoided it for Cloud's sake. So long as he's fighting, she's left unprotected. And without him...

Well.

Sky doesn't know what he'd do without her.

(SKY AND CLOUD CONSIDER THEMSELVES SIBLINGS. PLEASE DO NOT SHIP THEM!!!)

Appearance

As a faerie and shapeshifter, Sky can technically take on any form he wants. However, he most often tends to stay in the form of a 6'3 (109.5cm), male air-aligned faerie.

Sky physically appears to be in his early twenties, but the Faewildes' constant space-time distortions and inconsistent rules make it impossible to know how long he's truly lived. Still, when the time he's experienced is translated to our perception of years, Sky is approximately 24 years old.

Due to his fluctuating domain, Sky's appearance varies with the time of day, season, and weather. However, he always has a lithe build; long and sharp features; long, white hair; and two sets of long, feathered fae-tipped ears.

At night, Sky's skin is often midnight blue, with patches of purples, pinks, and oranges (like galaxies) and countless pale, star-like freckles.

During the day, Sky's skin often matches the vibrant blue of the sky.

Between night and day, at dawn and dusk, Sky's form similarly changes to match the changing colors of the sky. His skin will take on a gradient with the hues of the sky, while his otherwise-white hair will change to reflect the colors of the clouds.

His form adapts to the season and weather—like taking on a pale, near-pure white appearance during a blizzard—but most often aligns with what's described above.

Although he refrains from allowing his form the freedom it desires in order to conserve essence, Sky is most comfortable when he allows himself to levitate and his hair to flow like wind.

Personality & Motives

Sky is harsh, practical, and uptight. He often acts detached from others and their emotions, focusing solely on logic and the reality he sees before him.

Although he's loathe to admit it, Sky considers himself a cruel person who solely looks out for himself and Cloud. The world—and especially archfae and the Faewildes Itself—are a cold and uncaring place that would eat them up without a second thought.

So he's forced to disregard everything else for his and Cloud's sake.

What he does doesn't matter.

Not so long as they're safe.

Cloud will forgive him eventually—that was just who she was.

So he'll do whatever—everything—it takes to take care of the both of them.

Even if he'd really, truly prefer to not.

(Unless... he does want to? He doesn't think so. But it's easier to not think about it. Easier to tell himself he was still a good fae deep, deep down...

... that he wasn't like everyone else.)

Name

Despite being referred to as Sky by the story, the celestial faerie actually goes by the name “Spéir”, which is Irish for “sky”.

I chose to call him by the translation—Sky—to make the literality of his name very apparent. Like most early fae, Spéir was born to no parents, and so had to choose his own name. Similarly, his name was chosen based off of his domain “because it was easy” to do so.

Still, over the course of Faerie's Dawn, Spéir will eventually pick out a new name for himself. One that fits him better than “Spéir” or “Sky” ever did.

Theme Song

Keep what can be kept And heave to see which one will kneel I've been told to wait But why should there be silence Dawning pretty laces Weaving capes of gold And framing muffled faces I can be different I can't be puppeted!

“Don't let the door hit you on your way out.”

So... what do you guys think of Sky?

And where do you think his character is headed in the story? 😉

FAERIE'S DAWN

CHAPTER 2: KILREY (PART 1)

CHARACTERS: ✦ Nova “Me” Fae (pov) ✦ Scamall “Cloud” Fae ✦ Spéir “Sky” Fae

story intro table of contents chapter one < last chapter next chapter >

Nova: [tense, but continues chewing the taffy-like ambrosia as she focuses her essence to watch Sky and Cloud even with her back to them]

Siblings: [looking at each other, faces twisted and fae-ears lowered stressfully—]

Cloud: [guilty, but…]

Sky: [furious]

Sky: (hisses under his breath) "Cloud! This is exactly why I—"

Cloud: [letting out a slow breath, shakes her head and gently pushes him to the side with just a wave of her essence and air. Moves to stop beside Nova and try to meet their eyes]

Nova: [hesitantly obliges her, chomping off a piece of their third ambrosia square]

Cloud: (voice gentle, but serious) "you have a plan? Do you need more ambrosia?"

Nova:

Sky:

Nova: [shocked she'd offer to help when doing so got her into this mess to begin with, but…]

Nova: [ears low, forces themself to just look away, nod curtly, and swallow their bite. Then, with their face turned away, immediately rips off another chunk of ambrosia]

Cloud: [as Nova works on chewing, smoothly sits down next to them and reaches with her essence to copy Nova's earlier theft—]

Sky: [grabs her shoulder, hissing) "Cloud, what are you doing!? You're going to—"

Cloud: [turning a sharp glare onto him in return, evenly) "they escaped from another archfaerie. They know what they're doing, too. We should help them."

Sky: [stunned silent—]

Nova: 'too'...

Nova: [also stunned, but struggling not to be hopeful, instead forcing herself to focus on her still-formulating escape plan. As she does, starts on her fourth and last piece of ambrosia]

Ambrosia: [as a treat made of pure magic—and most often mixed in with sweets for additional taste—contained lots of energy for needy fae]

Ambrosia: [is most often used as compact, easy-to-serve rations from archfae to their thralls, meant to give them the essence they need to survive… while any and all other food mostly just tasted good and didn't do much for them. Not unless it matched their domain.]

Faeries: [each had control over a certain 'domain', depending on what they emerged from]

Cloud: [was clearly air-aligned, but, true to her name, seemed to have a domain specifically centered on clouds]

Tavernkeeper: [would seem earth-aligned at first glance, thanks to their earthen skin and the trail of dirt they left behind as they moved. But… their exact domain was harder to tell, considering the plants they'd had for hair. It could've meant they were life-aligned, or nature-aligned—]

Nova: [except, didn't just have to judge off of faeries' appearances]

Nova: [had a special talent in being able to 'feel out' for others' alignments, just by sensing their essence… or magical power]

Nova: [and, similarly, was much more adept at sensing and distinguishing between essence in general…]

Nova: [which was exactly why she could tell that the tavernkeeper, the earthen faerie, finally reached Kilrey.]

Nova: [quickly hops out of her chair, wiping the back of her hand against her mouth and looking at the siblings]

Sky: [has his jaw clenched and arms crossed tight as he's turned away from them, glaring at the other inhabitants of the tavern… to help discourage them from staring, and catching Cloud's theft]

Cloud: [of course, still stealing ambrosia squares, slipping them between the loose folds of her airy clothes as soon as she's grabbed them]

Both: [as Nova hopped out of the chair, stop what they're doing to look at Nova with tense expressions and lowered ears]

Nova: [meets Sky's eyes, then Cloud's, and quickly turns to march toward the door]

Nova: (voice commanding, sounding far more confident than she felt) "we head out now. I can collect more essence on the way. Hurry!"

Air Siblings: [meet eyes once again behind her back]

Cloud: [immediately follows close behind Nova!]

Sky: [half-groans, half-growls, but quickly trails after]

Sky: [… though his eyes dart from faerie to faerie as he wonders why nobody's reacting to their departure]

Nova: [almost as though she's reading his mind but more reading between the lines, and figuring it's better to say anyway) "I blocked them from seeing us. Come on!"

Sky: [bites his tongue, unsure of a lot of things… but also not sure if it was a good time to ask questions]

Nova: [pushes the door open and speedwalks outside, ignoring the frostbite-cold of the now-winter that hits her]

Seasons, time, and weather: [could change constantly, depending on where they were in the Faewildes and the strength of the raw, unclaimed magic in the area…]

Raw Faewilde magic: [was incredibly dangerous even to faeries, able to take over their minds, make them lose their sense of selves, and turn them into what the humans called demons]

Demons: [creatures with seemingly no sapience, wanting nothing more than violence… and Nova couldn't blame them]

Nova: [wishes she had the strength—the bravery—to fight back against archfae she wasn't cornered by]

Nova: [wishes she could pay them back for their crimes.]

Nova: [fae-ears low and eyes scanning the streets around them, paces forward to lead the group through the quickest way out of town]

Sky: [from behind, voice tense) "what's your plan, fae. Who are you?"

Nova: [tenses, but… keeps pacing, eyeing the ever-fluctuating buildings once of wood, then of stone, then of ice… as everything rapidly changes from the cloud of raw magic unfurling throughout the town]

Nova: (tension leaking into their voice) "we leave Kil—the Archfae's dominion, so he's weaker. From there, he either gives up, or—"

Sky: (voice sharp) "he'll catch up before we can!"

Nova: [twists her form, turning her torso so—while her legs continue forward on her decided path—she's able to face Sky while walking]

Siblings: [faces visibly twist in disgust at her grotesque display—]

Nova: (harshly) "we have a head start and this—" [points up, then twists his finger in a circular gesture, alluding to the magic storm] "—is going to keep him from teleporting to us."

Sky:

Sky: [visibly stunned… though also looks paler]

Sky: [actually, has changed a lot in appearance. His night-sky skin has quickly turned pale white, matching his hair and the snow around them]

Sky: [now, almost completely blends with the environment as he scans the area, the tips of his fae-ears dropping lower and lower]

Nova: (to himself) ah… that's why he feels a bit different from 'sky'.

Sky: [returning his eyes to Nova, hesitantly) "is… that you?"

Nova:

Nova: [fighting a wave of panic, barks out a laugh and turns his torso back into place to increase his pace. Still, his anxiety is betrayed by his angled ears, poorly-faked laugh, and the breathlessnes of his otherwise-incredulous voice) "no??? You think I'd be like this if I had that kinda power? I just sensed it coming, and we're taking advantage of it. Now hurry up, Kil—he, the Archfae, just left!"

Cloud: [from behind her; voice gentle, but subtly tense) "so… what happens when he catches up to us?"

Nova: [drops his eyes to the ground, falling silent as a cold hand of dread wraps itself tight around his heart]

Nova: (voice thick) "as long as we're outside of his dominion, I can take care of him by myself."

YOU CAN WHAT BY YOURSELF, NOVA!?!?!

Aaaaaanyhow, how truthful do you think all of this is? What's with all of their fear of archfaeries? And how in the world would Nova "take care of" one by themself???

FAERIE'S DAWN

CHAPTER 2: KILREY (PART 2)

CHARACTERS: ✦ Nova “Me” Fae (pov) ✦ Scamall “Cloud” Fae ✦ Spéir “Sky” Fae

story intro table of contents chapter one < last chapter next chapter >

Sky: [suddenly comes to a stop behind them, raising his voice) "YOU WHAT!? You expect us to believe you can take on an archfaerie!?!?"

Nova: [growling, spins on his heel and warps to—]

Nova: [reappears directly in front of Sky, a whole foot taller and gripping the front of the faerie's shirt as he pulls their foreheads together]

Nova: [snarling, practically spits their words out) "stay behind if you want! Die! Because that's what's going to happen! I can save you if you come with me, but otherwise!?!?"

Nova: [can't help it as her rage—and snarl—breaks for despair—]

Nova: [turns their face away, releasing Sky's shirt to reappear in the spot they'd vanished from]

Nova: [doesn't finish what they had to say, crying silently as they instead hurry through the streets]

Faeries: [all holed up in their homes… whether because of the time, or the storm]

Storm: [rapidly growing into a whiteout blizzard, only breaking for flashes of lightning in the distance]

Air: [vibrating and crackling from the electricity, the magic storm, or both]

Cloud: [having taken Sky's hand in hers; voice quiet, but pained) "Sky… look." [points into the air, toward Nova's essence] "That's theirs. Even if they can't fight him… I think they can do something against him…"

Sky: [silent for a moment, but—]

Sky: [lets out a slow, shaky sigh]

Sky: (voice quiet and uneven) "why did you have to get us in this situation?"

Nova: [struggles to ignore them, feeling a wave of relief as they cross the last building of the town… though they still have some distance to go before they've escaped Kilrey's dominion]

Tremors: [slowly seeping from spreading from the air to the ground]

World: [violently rumbling; the air itself is vibrating and full of visible electricity while the ground quakes under the group's feet, breaking the cobblestone road they're trying to travel across]

Road: [except... while it cracks, it doesn't separate. Not until Nova passes. The pieces remain close enough together that the group's able to walk across it—even as it rises in the air and then scatters behind them]

Nova: [almost absentminded in her steps, confident in her magic's ability to keep the stones she needs in place to walk on. Instead, she focuses on collecting what magic she can from the environment and magically watching Kilrey close in on them]

Sky and Cloud: [behind her, use a mix of their own magics to help them hop between the separating stones and stay close behind Nova]

Cloud: [essence suddenly flickers further than before, flinging itself toward Nova—]

Nova: [tenses, immediately warping out of the way of the attack and flipping to face them, but—]

Cloud: [only created a small dome of clear air around them, granting them more visibility through the blizzard in their immediate area]

Cloud: [freezes at Nova's reaction]

Sky: [and tenses, putting himself between Cloud and Nova]

Electricity: [focused around them, sparking and flashing across the air, and making all of their hair stand up on end]

Nova: [heart pounding, looks between the two, the dome around them… and something not far behind the two.]

Kilrey: [catching up.]

Nova: [bites his tongue, tears swelling in his eyes]

Nova: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I ruin everything…

Nova: [with only a moment to think, envelops the three of them in his own essence and pulls them outside the bounds of Kilrey's dominion]

Group: [reforms with Sky and Cloud in the same positions as before, but behind—]

Nova: [facing the direction they'd just come from, much more drained from having pulled them all through another's dominion… but shielding the two air faeries with his own body]

Nova: (not even sure who he's pleading with) please don't stab me in the back… please don't make me regret trying to help you… I can't let more fae die because of me… so please don't make me die again…

Nova: (voice unsteady, but raised) "I'm going to take him on. Just run. Even if I can't stop him… you can get away. I'm sorry for getting you dragged into my problems…"

Cloud: (voice uneven) "I—"

Sky: [nope! Takes her hand in his and drags her along, trying to follow Nova's instructions advice]

Cloud: [hesitantly lets him pull her away, taking her clear-air dome with her]

Nova: [heart pounding, stares out toward the concentration of Kilrey's essence speeding toward her]

Nova: (to herself) … you've done this before. You can do it again, Mabh.

Nova:

Nova: [can't help a weak, pained laugh]

Nova: not that one, either… 😅

Rumbling: [suddenly spikes in strength as something speeds toward her—]

Nova: [tenses, quickly throwing up both their hands and a magical barrier to protect themself]

Snow and earth: [bursts forward and out from the ground, flinging itself toward them]

Nova: [skids backwards along with their barrier, wincing as they struggle to keep it from breaking—]

Suspended Snow: [falling in clumps from the air, reveals the faerie that'd punched through the blizzard like a bullet… Kilrey.]

Kilrey: [8 feet tall, almost twice Nova's height, and towering above them. Has far-too long limbs all covered in thick, dark brown fur and tangled plants; standing atop hooved, satyr-like legs; has stag-like antlers branching from an elongated face; and covered in moss and plants that're woven into his fur]

Kilrey: [grins widely as he looks down at Nova, eyeing them through the pink-tinted barrier]

Nova: [breathing heavy and struggling not to cry, but steadily stands back up straight, hands still crossed in front of her as she holds up the barrier]

Kilrey: (voice low, almost like a growl, and yet gleeful) "ah… you know, Silina tried lying about what you were…"

Nova: [still wincing, takes the opportunity to strengthen her barrier]

Nova: (to herself) no surprises there…

Kilrey: [reaches down, trying to shove his hand through the barrier]

Barrier: [blocks it just fine!]

Kilrey: [—monologue only interrupted by a laugh) "but when your essence built… I recognized you, Dhia…"

Nova: [winces, only now realizing their stuffing themself full of ambrosia backfired by making themself noticeable… while they'd gone in with such little essence in order to hide]

Kilrey: [as he spoke, tightened his furred hand—and essence—around her barrier]

Kilrey: [and, finally, shatters it in his palm]

Nova: [thrown back from the force of the collapse, skidding into the ground and getting buried into the snow]

Nova: [already incredibly drained, but… struggles to focus their essence on his, trying to find the weak points they'd noticed the last few times they'd tried this]

Kilrey: [as they did, leisurely walked through the snow, stopped in front of Nova, and finally leaned down to pick them up by the throat]

Nova: [half-gasps, half-sobs, grasping at his hands as though they had anywhere near enough strength to pry themself free]

Kilrey: [and all the while, smugly) "I can't believe you're still alive… I'd heard you died, Dhia."

Nova: [just stares up at the blizzard-tainted white sky, struggling to breathe and focus—]

Kilrey: [slowly begins sapping their magic, drawing out his words as he does) "let me relieve you of—"

Kilrey: [suddenly falls silent, the strength fading from his fingers]

Nova: [tears himself from Kilrey's grasp and falls to the ground, gasping for breath as they glare up at him]

Nova: [tightens their magic around his soul, snarling as best he can]

Nova: (words as strangled as his voice) "'relieve me of my power?' You piece of shit, you really think it'd work this time!? When everyone else has failed!?!? WHY ARE YOU ARCHFAE ALL SO FUCKING EGOTISTICAL!?"

Nova: [digs his essence into Kilrey's soul like knives, unsteadily rising to his feet and taking shaky steps toward Kilrey]

Kilrey: [completely frozen in place, face blank and unable to move… because Nova had broken his will, like every faerie was capable of doing.]

Nova: [had just needed him to let his guard down, to give them the chance to work their way through his protection]

Nova: [glares up at his blank face with a snarl… and tears still in his eyes]

Nova: (voice hard and hateful) "but I'm merciful. And you're useful. So here's what we're going to do. Kneel."

Kilrey: [face still empty, obliges. Lowers himself onto one knee, kneeling in front of them… and barely getting low enough that Nova can look down at him]

Nova: [reaches forward to grab him by his throat with a vicegrip and force him to meet her eyes]

Nova: [still snarling, all but spits) "you're going to go back and erase all memories that I was here! You're going to go back, tell Silina that I managed to escape you and fled South, make sure nobody leaves town for a week, and then you are going to forget all about me! You'll forget I exist, you'll forget I wiped your memories, and you'll FORGET YOURSELF!"

Nova: [left gasping for breath, glaring down at him with tear-filled eyes… before her face finally breaks]

Nova: [half-sobbing, brokenly) "understand?"

Kilrey: (tonelessly, breath slightly strangled… but only slightly) "yes."

Nova: [releases Kilrey's throat, taking a few shaky steps back]

Nova: (weakly) "good. I've given my commands. Now, fulfill them."

Nova: [finally releases their magic on him, letting her feet collapse under her]

Kilrey: [rises smoothly, then promptly twists on his heel to tread back into his dominion]

Nova: [cries softly, watching his back slowly get further and further from him… because the blizzard's largely died away, taking the whiteout with it]

Nova: it never works… won't you guys stop TRYING!?

Nova: [gasping for breath again, falls back to stare up at the beautiful, star-filled sky slowly shining through the fading blizzard]

Nova: … why couldn't I just be a normal faerie?

Nova: [closes his eyes, unable to stay conscious]

So... what's on your guys' minds? 👀

Any theories? 😉

FAERIE'S DAWN

CHAPTER 1: KILREY (PART 2)

CHARACTERS: ✦ Nova “Me” Fae (pov) ✦ Scamall “Cloud” Fae ✦ Spéir “Sky” Fae

story intro table of contents < last chapter next chapter >

Tavernkeeper: [marches up to the group… though their eyes are focused squarely on Nova]

Nova: fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck—

Nova: they noticed me reaching for the ambrosia… I hadn't meant to, I just—

Tavernkeeper: [snarling and ears held back in anger, speaks sharply as they cross to the group) "who do you think you are, trying to take our—"

Sky: [moves out of the way to let—]

Tavernkeeper: [stops in front of Nova, eyes narrowed on them]

Tavernkeeper: [not having stopped talking, reaches to grab Nova by the wrist as he continues) "rations without—"

Nova: [warps away, disappearing from their seat to reappear a few feet away. Has a panicked grin on their face, their fae-ears lying flat back in panic, and their hands held up in surrender]

Nova: (sharply, panic in her voice) "I didn't mean to! I'm sor—!"

Tavernkeeper: [eye twitching and ears pressing against their skull, moves to grab her again]

Tavernkeeper: "you little—"

Nova: [squeezing his eyes shut and turning his face away, quickly reaches into his cloak to pull out one of his Silina Emblems and hold it out with both hands]

Nova: (desperately) "I'm from Silina! Please, have mercy! I come in peace, I didn't mean to do anything wrong! I'm just on my way up North!"

Nova:

Tavernkeeper: [silent]

Nova: …

Nova: [ears slowly rising again, hesitantly peeks an eye open and turns just enough to peer at the tavernkeeper]

Tavernkeeper: [eyeing him critically, fae-ears low and suspicion clear across their face]

Nova: [heart skipping a beat and ears dropping again, to themself) … they've figured out What I Am, haven't they?

Tavernkeeper: [plucks the emblem from Nova's hands, turning it around in their fingers as they eye it skeptically]

Tavernkeeper: [after a moment, looks back up at Nova, eyes still narrowed]

Tavernkeeper: (sternly) "I think I need to take you to Archfae Kilrey."

Nova:

Nova: [eyes fly wide—ears dropping to nearly touch their shoulders—as they're hit with a wave of absolute terror]

Tavernkeeper: [reaches forward to try to grab Nova by the arm again, but—]

Nova: [takes several stumbling steps backwards, and—]

Cloud: [steps in Tavernkeeper's way, her ears back and an arm held out to her side as though to shield Nova from them]

Cloud: [still sparking up, face and voice cold) "they're from Silina. If you doubt them, go on and bring the emblem to Archfae Kilrey. But leave them out of it."

Tavernkeeper:

Nova:

Both: [stunned silent, well aware Cloud was basically putting herself on the line for Nova]

Tavernkeeper: [snorts, but—with a wave of their hand—magically throws a piece of ambrosia at Nova before flipping on their heel and marching out the door]

Tavern: [dead silent]

Nova: [swallows nervously, ears slowly popping back up, as they hesitantly scan the room and clutch their ambrosia]

Faeries: [staring at him, but… soon look away, whispering between themselves]

Cloud: [and stepping toward him!]

Nova: [dying—]

Cloud: [stops in front of Nova, squatting just enough so she's at their eye level]

Cloud: [having returned to her earlier calm, pale appearance, offers Nova a sad smile]

Cloud: (gently) "are you okay, little one?"

Nova:

Nova: [swallows, quickly looking away to hurry to sit down again and work on stuffing the ambrosia down his throat]

Cloud:

Wind: [stirs slightly behind him, but—]

Nova: [focuses on eating and magically watching those behind him, praying for them to look away soon—]

Sky: [places a hand on his shoulder—]

Nova: [tenses, ears nearly dropping to their shoulders again. At the same time, quickly warps her shoulder to phase it through his hand, pull away, and turn a sharp look onto him]

Sky: [as they did, his eyes narrowing and ears lowering further, says harshly) "my sister asked you a question."

Nova: [seemingly ignoring him, forces themself to somewhat relax and continue eating]

Ambrosia: [the most delicious thing in the world, made of literal pure magic and honey… but Nova doesn't have the time or energy to appreciate it. She needs to hurry.]

Nova: [instead, satisfied that the other faeries had stopped watching her, reaches with her essence to pull more ambrosia rations from the counter, drop them out of view, and bring them toward her]

Sky: [snarling, sharply under his breath) "fae! Are you a thief!?"

Cloud: [at the same time, hesitantly moved to Sky's side, gently placing a hand on his shoulder]

Nova: [spares Cloud a glance, but quickly narrows her eyes—and a snarl—onto Sky]

Sky: [—at the same time, turned a sharp look onto Cloud]

Cloud: [meets Sky's eyes with an uncertain look before quick looking back to Nova]

Nova: [as they both look at her, pauses eating to retort sharply) "no, I'm a fucking 'saving our asses', if you'll let me eat!"

Cloud:

Sky:

Nova: [turns slightly to reach over and behind the counter, where she grabs the ambrosia she'd sneakily dragged over]

Nova: [and back to stuffing her face!]

Air Siblings: [stunned silent and ears drooping, hesitantly meet each other's eyes, glance around the tavern, and then look back to Nova]

Sky: (keeping his voice low, demands) "what do you mean, 'saving our asses'!?"

Nova: [half-groans, half-growls, rolling their eyes as they quickly erect a sound barrier directly around the three of them]

Nova: [once it's secure, narrows their eyes on Sky again]

Nova: [pauses eating to practically spit out) "because Cloud came to my defense, they're going to hold you two accountable for me, too!"

Sky: [though he's not sure exactly what the sound barrier is, noticed Nova build it and figures well enough what it's doing]

Sky: [snarling, raises his voice to insist) "what do you MEAN!? What's wrong with that!?"

Nova: [freezes, their blood going cold, ears dropping, and eyes widening... but only lets themself falter for a moment]

Nova: [forcibly recollects themself with a sigh and an aggressive shake of their head before answering) "because I'm—I—"

Nova: [swallows against the lump in their throat as they instead look away and glare at a wall through tears]

Nova: (voice hard, but thick with pain) "—I'm not from Silina, I stole that! I'm wanted there! Now, with them taking that to the archfae, he's going to be able to reach out to her and find that out! And you two will get dragged in WITH me!"

Nova: [finished, quickly goes back to choking down as much ambrosia as she can]

Nova: … but what if they turn on me.

Nova: what if they decide the best way to survive this is to turn me in…?

Okay but ain't Nova just the sassiest child? lmao

FAERIE'S DAWN

CHAPTER 1: KILREY (PART 1)

CHARACTERS: ✦ Nova “Me” Fae (pov) ✦ Scamall “Cloud” Fae ✦ Spéir “Sky” Fae

story intro table of contents < last chapter next chapter >

Nova: [anxiously clutches at the magic around them, watching the bustling faerie town of Kilrey from far away]

Kilrey: [full of fae subjugated under the will of a single other faerie… of course, by the name of Kilrey.]

Kilrey: [like many other fae towns, mostly has its residents working toward helping expand their master's dominion. It's absolutely suffused with power emanating from the fae population within its walls, but most prominently? It was full of Kilrey's power. Even with all the other faeries there, the archfae's always came out on top.]

Nova: [takes several slow, shaky deep breaths as they try to steel their nerves]

Nova: (thinking to themself) I'm not taking much power with me… they shouldn't notice me. I should be fine to enter…

Nova: [fidgets with the magic in the air, warping it around herself to cool the area and set a feeling of calmness over her]

Nova: (still trying to reassure herself) It's okay. If I just teleport in there… few fae will even be able to notice me, with all that power there!

Nova: [flexes her jaw, struggling not to cry despite her magic]

Nova: … except Kilrey. And what if they notice me? What then?

Nova: [shakes his head quickly, letting out his breath and smacking his cheeks to recollect himself]

Nova: (sternly) No. Can't think that way. If they come… we can fight them. Or escape. Lead them away if we must… and they won't be able to do much by themself.

Nova: [glances far over his shoulder, eyeing the next dominion over despite it being far out of his sight]

Nova: … and if they try to bring their thralls, they'll still lose access to their power if I take them far enough. I can overpower them, then.

Nova: [nods curtly, looking back toward the town of Kilrey]

Nova: (still trying to reassure himself) Alright. We can do this, Casey.

Nova:

Nova: (annoyedly) I don't much like that name, either.

Nova: [but just sighs heavily before warping themself into town]

Nova: [now toward the end of a mostly-empty street, head lowered and her hood pulled over her head]

Nova: [hurries forward, quickly opening the door to the tavern and stepping inside]

Tavern: [full of faeries! Most are sitting around tables, chatting amongst themselves and helping themselves to food and drink rations for their hard day's work]

Nova: [awkwardly fidgets with one of his Silina Emblems—a token containing a bit of essence from another Archfae, Silina, and declaring she'd owe whomever it was traded to—as he heads to the bar]

Emblems: [essentially a form of currency between Archfae to declare "help my friend, and I'll help you later in return"]

Tavernkeeper: [clearly busy, distributing rations to others]

Nova: [awkwardly eyes the lone faerie sitting at the bar… and hesitantly steps up to them]

Faerie: [air-aligned, with a flowy, layered dress; semi-transparent blue skin; and a white afro. The further their afro traveled from their head, the more the hair seemed to transform into clouds]

Nova: [stopping at a seat beside them and rocking on his feet, awkwardly raises his voice to ask) "is this seat taken?"

Faerie: [tenses, fae-ears subtly bending back as they look over their shoulder to meet Nova's eyes]

Nova: [flashes them a smile]

Faerie: [cautiously glances around themself… then, easing their ears and returning their eyes to Nova, offers a soft smile in return]

Faerie: (voice gentle, hard to make out over the din of the tavern) "No. But my brother's coming back soon…"

Nova: brother?…

Nova: [looks away, ears folded back awkwardly, but moves to sit down beside the faerie]

Nova: (to herself) I wonder what it's like to have a brother…

Nova: (at the same time, perks her ears back up, turns to grin at the faerie, and says amusedly) "Ah! Well, hopefully he won't mind me being here?"

Faerie: [smile softening, shakes their head slightly]

Faerie: (gently) "I don't think so... you seem nice. I'm Cloud, by the way… female."

Nova: [grins widely, offering his hand to shake… with as much of his essence as far from it as possible, as was considered polite]

Nova: (keeping her tone amused to hide her nervousness) "oh! Well, I'm—"

Cloud: [took her hand to shake it, but—]

Nova: [awkwardly looks away, pursing her lips]

Nova: (awkwardness leaking into her voice) "I… haven't actually decided on a name yet…"

Cloud: [essence flutters—]

Nova: [tenses, ears folding back as she quickly looks at Cloud with wide eyes]

Cloud: [has her essence breezing out from her as she smiles brightly, bringing her other hand up to clasp Nova's in-between hers]

Cloud: (warmly) "oh, are you a new faerie?"

Nova:

Cloud: [glancing away as she rocks from side-to-side, attempts to finish) "I ca—"

Nova: (blurts, panic slipping into her voice) "no!"

Cloud: [startled, quickly looks back to Nova]

Cloud: [essence—and face—falls, her expression turning sad]

Nova: [struggling to keep their panic from their face, forces an awkward grin]

Nova: (voice shaky, but still faux-amused) "I just—I've been awake for a while, but I've just—I've had a hard time coming up with one, is all!"

Cloud: [has the saddest look on her face as she meets Nova's eyes, but she quickly looks over Nova's shoulder instead]

Voice: (speaks from behind Nova, hard) "Cloud? Who's this?"

Nova: [tenses, quickly turning to see—]

Faerie: [standing to her side, arms crossed as they look between Nova and Cloud suspiciously]

Faerie: [has long, flowy white hair, blue-purple skin freckled like stars in the night sky, and two sets of long, pointed fae-ears… all angled backwards, aggressive.]

Nova: this must be the brother! :'D

Nova: [both annoyed and anxious, to themself) but Cloud said he wouldn't be upset… of course she was wrong.

Nova: [offers a wide, awkward grin as they bring their hands up in surrender and struggle to come up with a response—]

Cloud: (from behind them, gently) "this is a faerie I just met. They seem nice, Sky."

Sky: [looked at Cloud over Nova's shoulder as she spoke, but quickly returns his eyes to Nova]

Sky: [lip curled slightly; voice tense and accusing) "plenty of fae seem nice, Cloud. That's how they trick you. We've been over this."

Nova: (quickly, before she can think better of it) "I really mean no harm! I'm just travelling and wanted company!"

Sky: [leaning in closer so his and Nova's noses and foreheads touch, sharply) "likely story."

Nova: [panicking, reflexively reaches for the nearest bit of unclaimed essence to take it to protect herself—]

Sky: [except, pulls away?]

Cloud: [at his side, hand clenching his shoulder as she glares at him]

Cloud: [hair darkened into storm clouds, crackling with electricity, and fae-ears held high and back from anger]

Cloud: (sharply) "they're a BABY! Be nice!"

Nova: [bites back a 'I'm not a baby!', ears low and eyes wide with panic as he looks between the two]

Sky: [clenches his jaw as takes deep, angry breaths, glancing between Cloud and Nova—]

Voice: "HEY! FAE!"

All three: [tense, turning to face—]

And so the grand adventure begins...

[ominous-faechild]

What would the cast of Faerie's Dawn be like as Starbucks customers?

Oh, god, now that Faerie's Dawn is actually out, I'mma have to answer this...

This is horrifying and hilarious.

LET'S GO!

NOVA “ME” FAE

Depending on when and where in the story, Nova would have a different attitude and reaction! So I'll list early and late story lol.

Early in the story, Nova would have a mildly complex order and watch the barista like a hawk as they made her order... but not say a word if or when they made any mistakes.

She was just watching to make sure they didn't poison it or something.

Later in the story, Nova would have an incredibly complex order. He'd be annoyed with the barista "taking too long" to understand it all/put it down, but at most talk shit to whoever he came to Starbucks with...

... until they started making the drink.

Then, Nova would once again watch them like a hawk... and, if and WHEN the barista made a mistake? They'd literally reach over the counter-divider to grab the barista's hand—to stop them—or the forgotten ingredient!

I mean, how DARE the barista do that, right???

(Tho if they were avoiding getting kicked out, they'd instead raise their voice and correct them verbally lmao)

No matter what, their tip is almost as much as their drink.

Unless the barista made it perfect. Then it's double.

SCAMALL “CLOUD” FAE

She'd have a surprisingly complex order, but be very friendly and understanding if and when the barista made a mistake.

... only be quietly sad as she drank it and wasn't all that great.

Man. If only she had the money to buy stuff to make it at home.

Wait... she doesn't even have a home! 🥺😭

She doesn't tip because she could barely even afford her drink.

SPÉIR “SKY” FAE

Black coffee. That's it.

He'd be impatient and barely speak to the barista unless he needed to. It's hard to mess up a black coffee, but if they managed to? Unless it was full of grounds, bro would still just knock it back and never come back lmao.

He also tips terribly. It's by choice.

CRAOBH “BRANCH” FAE

Coffee with honey and creamer.

Scrolls Facebook while he waits for his order.

Pretty chill customer, all things considered... though he also doesn't really tip. Unless you count the dirt his shoes left behind. Is he cheap, or just broke?

Hard to tell.

EVE PRIMAVERA

She'd order just a black coffee—not because she likes it, but because she feels like she'd be inconveniencing everyone around her by getting anything more complex.

She also apologizes up and down that she can't tip better. She's flat broke.

ASA PRIMAVERA

Coffee with sugar and extra cream. Tried to convince Eve to get what she wanted, but ordered that when she didn't.

... before she can do anything, he trades drinks with her when their drinks come out.

Then he drinks her black coffee. And suffers.

But that's okay.

At least Eve was happier getting the drink she actually wanted.

He'd be confused at tipping culture tho.

Y'know, I love Cloud, too, but she's not who I was expecting to be people's favorite, haha.

That's okay... Nova doesn't have to be everyone's favorite.

My poor, sassy child is used to being disliked 🥲

(Although I can understand why y'all don't like Sky tbh lmao. He's an asshole, but he's slowly growing on me... although I know a lot more about him than you guys, haha.)

FAERIE'S DAWN

CHAPTER 1: KILREY (PART 2)

CHARACTERS: ✦ Nova “Me” Fae (pov) ✦ Scamall “Cloud” Fae ✦ Spéir “Sky” Fae

CHAPTER 1 - [PART 2] CHAPTER 2 - PART 2 CHAPTER 3 - PART 2

Tavernkeeper: [marches up to the group… though their eyes are focused squarely on Nova]

Nova: fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck—

Nova: they noticed me reaching for the ambrosia… I hadn't meant to, I just—

Tavernkeeper: [snarling and ears held back in anger, speaks sharply as they cross to the group) "who do you think you are, trying to take our—"

Sky: [moves out of the way to let—]

Tavernkeeper: [stops in front of Nova, eyes narrowed on them]

Tavernkeeper: [not having stopped talking, reaches to grab Nova by the wrist as he continues) "rations without—"

Nova: [warps away, disappearing from their seat to reappear a few feet away. Has a panicked grin on their face, their fae-ears lying flat back in panic, and their hands held up in surrender]

Nova: (sharply, panic in her voice) "I didn't mean to! I'm sor—!"

Tavernkeeper: [eye twitching and ears pressing against their skull, moves to grab her again]

Tavernkeeper: "you little—"

Nova: [squeezing his eyes shut and turning his face away, quickly reaches into his cloak to pull out one of his Silina Emblems and hold it out with both hands]

Nova: (desperately) "I'm from Silina! Please, have mercy! I come in peace, I didn't mean to do anything wrong! I'm just on my way up North!"

Nova:

Tavernkeeper: [silent]

Nova: …

Nova: [ears slowly rising again, hesitantly peeks an eye open and turns just enough to peer at the tavernkeeper]

Tavernkeeper: [eyeing him critically, fae-ears low and suspicion clear across their face]

Nova: [heart skipping a beat and ears dropping again, to themself) … they've figured out What I Am, haven't they?

Tavernkeeper: [plucks the emblem from Nova's hands, turning it around in their fingers as they eye it skeptically]

Tavernkeeper: [after a moment, looks back up at Nova, eyes still narrowed]

Tavernkeeper: (sternly) "I think I need to take you to Archfae Kilrey."

Nova:

Nova: [eyes fly wide—ears dropping to nearly touch their shoulders—as they're hit with a wave of absolute terror]

Tavernkeeper: [reaches forward to try to grab Nova by the arm again, but—]

Nova: [takes several stumbling steps backwards, and—]

Cloud: [steps in Tavernkeeper's way, her ears back and an arm held out to her side as though to shield Nova from them]

Cloud: [still sparking up, face and voice cold) "they're from Silina. If you doubt them, go on and bring the emblem to Archfae Kilrey. But leave them out of it."

Tavernkeeper:

Nova:

Both: [stunned silent, well aware Cloud was basically putting herself on the line for Nova]

Tavernkeeper: [snorts, but—with a wave of their hand—magically throws a piece of ambrosia at Nova before flipping on their heel and marching out the door]

Tavern: [dead silent]

Nova: [swallows nervously, ears slowly popping back up, as they hesitantly scan the room and they clutch their ambrosia]

Faeries: [staring at him, but… soon look away, whispering between themselves]

Cloud: [and stepping toward him!]

Nova: [dying—]

Cloud: [stops in front of Nova, squatting just enough so she's at their eye level]
