Chapter 8

Caelin mourned the death of each of the faeries they found. He loved all the creatures of the forest, but the faeries were his favorite. He looked at his son when he asked him if he wanted him to carry them to the faerie circle with him, and Caelin told him he’d do it. He supposed his son was trying to save him the grief, but it was too profound.

“I’m sorry, Father. I thought that they’d been warned to stay out of the forest for now.” Caelin said that he had warned them, but some of them had thought they were safe to work. “Those poor creatures. I hate that they gave their life to that man.”

Caelin had never told his children anything different than what he knew of his father. They all knew that the man was their grandfather, but they never thought of him like that. He was always that man, or the monster. He supposed that had things gone differently they might have called him grandfather, but that was old news, and nothing could be done about it now. Although secretly, Caelin thought that his father would have hated being called that as well.

Putting the last of the dead into their little burial shrouds, he said a quick apology to Lady Earth and told her that he’d take care of them. The burial shroud was nothing more than a large leaf that was wrapped around them and tied with a piece of reed. Everything would go back to the earth, and sometime in the future flowers of the most beautiful colors would spring up over them. Some of the very plants they’d been working on had been born the same way.

He and his son worked through most of the morning making things right for the forest. Caelin could talk to all the things in here, including the trees and plants. Asking about the man who had killed the poor things had been his first query, and now he talked to them about having someone contact him when he returned. Mighty Oak said that he didn’t think he’d come back.

“Why? Do you think he got all that he wanted? Are we to find more of our creatures about?” Mighty said no, that they were all found, but he had been very taxed when he’d gotten here and left. “So, he won’t return because he is lazy. I can see that with him. He has always been the sort of man who would take before he tried to get for himself. And take he did, of everyone and every living thing in the world. I am most sorry about all this. I hope that one day soon, we’ll no longer have any problems with him.”

He is most dangerous, my lord, but he was thinking that he had enough magic to contact your family, the newly arrived ones. Caelin told him how they were going to bring Warrior out. Yes, we have heard, and we are all very excited for the magic to return.
