I made a mistake, one most humans make. I made a promise to an Elf and now, I've broken it. When he steals me away to the land of Elude, I expect torment for my transgressions. We were always told that humans could not survive the strange magic that coursed through the faery home world. It would mutate them into horrible creatures and even if they did live, the only reason they were there was to live eternity in servitude or die. Is that what I am to be? A slave who's only escape is her death? No. I refuse. I will not die. I will live. I will be more. I am Merid of Dellsworn and no curse will guide my life. ©T. R. Wood a.k.a. ScreamingIntheNight
