Of Seasons, Solar, and Snow

Prologue

The woman looked at the man across from her. No, not man, he was not of this world. He was Fae. He studied her, his face impassive.

"Why have you called me here?" He asked the pathetic woman before him. The woman knew what she looked like, with her hair that was dry & brittle, her skin covered in wrinkles & spots of old age, when she was but 30. She knew that no man would want her, no matter how big her dowry was, but the man who would love her. For this was why she had summoned the creature before her.

"I want to make a bargain," she said. "I know that men will not marry me even for money, so I want True Love."

The Immortal laughed at the foolish female, "There is no such thing, if so, I would have found it centuries ago."

"You speak what you believe to be true, but I have found a spell..of sorts... That allows for one's Soul-Mate to be, ah, more aware of them. But it must be said by a High Lord."The woman let on no hint of where she might have come upon this information. But her eyes, calm as they might have seemed, where tinged with a feral desperation that the Fae Lord didn't miss.

"And what would you give me if I do this feat? I believe you are well aware that my kid does nothing for free," for what could a hag like that woman have, worth a High Lords attention.

But the woman Knew the history of the Fae and knew that they loved whisking humans away. For what, she knew not of. "I will give you a descendant of your choosing."

"Why would I want a child from a hag?"

"Because, maybe it will be your Mate" the cunning woman said. As the Lord contemplated this deal, the woman asked, " My only request, should you accept this deal, is that you wait till the child is 16 years of age."

At the sight of the little mercy the hag showed her descendant the Fae accepted the deal. "Let the moon and stars bear witness, hag, that you have made this deal and won't go back on it."

And the Fae left the woman, who felt a tremor in the earth, and for the first time that night, felt fear.
