Such a highly edited version of things! I'm beginning to think that you can't take what you see at face value when dealing with fairies.

Nicely done and evocatively described! I think a bunch of New Zealand artists are already hard at work churning out concept art for this...

This sounded familiar to me so I Googled it to see where it came from.

Of course you can't! Not highly edited - they were direct quotes. Your kids and friends are a bloodthirsty warmongering lot.




we shall see.

It should, you wrote it.

I was checking sources quickly and liked what you had depicted there - so put it in carte blanche - meant to add footnotes but I wrote this very quickly last night (in like 15 minutes) and was falling asleep - it was frustrating enough to find a font (which I didn't - i wanted a cursive thing) and a colour to post it in.

Anyway - the aforementioned text was directly lifted from UT#285 as was the name of the Herald: Xaradim, and the fact that Queene Mab has silver eyes.

Those familiar with English history may also note another quote with connections there.

I worked that out when I Googled it. Shame. I was going to steal it.




It has eluded me.

Then again, it turns out I don't even remember things I've written. Yesterday's Untold tales had to be redone when Rhiannon reminded me that Marie Murcheson was once again dead.

I've edited it slightly so you may get it now? Hint: It's one of Queene Mab's comments.

You mean the question about Thomas a Becket attributed to Henry II? I was hunting for a line from Spencer or something:

“For whatsoever from one place doth fall,
Is with the tide unto an other brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”

or

“For we by conquest, of our soveraine might,
And by eternall doome of Fate's decree,
Have wonne the Empire of the Heavens bright.”

Yes, but hunting for a line from Spencer in something I wrote in 15 minutes?

I suppose “All that in this world is great or gay, Doth, as a vapor, vanish and decay.”
