Bekka found herself drawn towards the light that floated in front of her. She resisted it, forcing her eyes to the ground and anywhere else that didn’t include the wisp. In spite of her attempt at awareness she still gasped when she heard the voice speak to her.

“You are strong willed.” The speaker had to be one of the Fayer, it was floating upon the winds generated by the delicate wings on its back. Bekka stared open mouthed, awed by the simply beauty of the creature. It looked like a human, though she had trouble classifying it as a man or a woman at first. Below its radiant blue hair and sparkling blue eyes she saw the being wore no shirt, displaying small but prominent breasts on a lean and delicate looking torso. Her skin was decorated with paints and gems that sparkled, enhancing her nudity in a way that made her beyond beautiful. Skirts fell from its hips, obscuring the view of the Fayer’s legs.

“Pardon me, I’m—“

“Your name is Bekka, I know,” she said to her. “You are of mixed blood, an uncommon occurrence often not possible without the aid of magic. You are special, Bekka, but you don’t yet understand why, do you?”

Bekka shook her head, too filled with awe to question her.

“I am Prin, of the Fayer. It was decided that I would be the one to liaise with you.”

“Liaise?” Bekka slipped out, surprised by the odd word.

“We have little interest in the affairs of most of the people of this world,” she paused to smile at the half-elf, “or those new to this world. We act upon that which interests or amuses us. You do so, but not so much to pull us away from our activities. Thus it fell to me to speak with you.”

“What activities do you have?” Bekka breathed, her heart quickening in her chest.

“Our affairs are private.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude,” Bekka blurted.

“It is no intrusion. You are a curious creature, else you would not have sought us out. You have so many questions, what interests me is which ones will you ask?”

The sorceress stared at the androgynous being, excited and frightened. She was allowed to ask questions, but Prin was right, she had so many! She’d come here claiming to want to know about her powers – why she was such a weak sorceress. Along the way she’d stumbled upon other questions, first the White Lady and then Haley. She sighed at the thought of Haley. Such a powerful and confident woman. Or was she? Logan claimed she’d abandoned them and she had no evidence to refute him.

“The Fayer are a long lived race, but I, too, have affairs to tend to.”

Bekka blushed. “I’m sorry. You’re right, there are so many things I want to ask, but I don’t know what you can do to help me. I came here seeking to understand why I’m not any good at magic. I know my magic is different than a wizards, but I’ve never had any proper education on it.
