I THINK MY JAW DROPPED open. Certainly, it wasn’t functioning properly for me to say anything else after that shocking exclamation. I was supposed to be a Halfling. My original glamour was human, but when I pulled it off, I was a Dark Elf Halfling.

How could my fathers claim anything different now?

I stared at them. Taerin smirked at my reaction, the jerk. Unlike Goiaer’s smirk with his scar making it scary, Taerin’s lips twisted into dark amusement at my naivety and it made me an angry kind of embarrassed.

He thought he had one up on me.

“Of course, you’re not human, Eve,” Goiaer said with a beleaguered sigh. I guess he’d had enough of my bombardment of questions that he thought I should already know the answer to at my age. What could I say? My education had been lacking.

“I’m human,” I stubbornly said. “Or a Halfling at least,” I added, backtracking my foolish statement when all evidence was to the contrary.

Taerin chuckled.

“All Dark Elves have a little human in us from our origins, but you don’t contain enough to claim true Halfling status. Didn’t your mother tell you anything before you came to Faerie?”

“My mother is human, fully human,” I retorted. “She doesn’t know anything about Faerie, except whatever that sadistic fuck Selvyth told her after he kidnapped her and terrorized my human family and friends. I bet he didn’t have anything nice to say about you.”

“How can your mother be fully human if you’re a purebred?” Goiaer pointed out, reasonably.

I glared at him. “You’re lying.”

“We prefer not to lie, Eve. Most Dark Elves can lie, unlike other purebred Fae. Even the barest sliver of human is enough, it seems, to give us that ability as well as iron immunity. Surely you know this about other Fae if you’ve spent any length of time here. Why do you think most Fae are so fond of bargains? When you can’t lie, there has to be other ways to ensure you get what you want.”

I turned my gaze to Taerin. “Explain why there is any human in purebred Dark Elves. That doesn’t make sense. None of this makes sense. You say you don’t lie, but I’ve been lied to my whole life!” I said, shouting it.

“You are pushing the boundaries of what knowledge we should give you outside of a bargain, Eve,” Goiaer said. “I’ll consider this general knowledge that any child of Faerie should know and therefore free. Dark Fae and Light Fae bred to make the first Dark Elves. It was only possible through magic and Halflings, the human part of the first pairings permitting mixing that normally is forbidden between the magics. Even now, most Dark Elves carry only one type of magic, although their blood is traced with the other magic as a marker of their heritage, much as the humanity that hasn’t left our ancestry completely.”

“The first Dark Elves came from outcasts like Halflings. Through strong wills and soul magic, your ancestors created a new type of Fae without the biases of the Light and Dark kingdoms,” Taerin said.
