Legend says, that a long, long, time ago, Fey were born from the essence of human emotion. The six main emotions build up courts. The Court of Anger. The Court of Happiness. The Court of Sadness. The Court of Disgust. The Court of Fear. The Court of Surprise. And each court can wield these emotions to their own advantage. Creating different types of glamour. Nature. How the land in their territory looks weighs on that emotion. It's the tether between the human world and faeries. Legend also says that a long, long, time ago, vicious, strange, Fey were born. Nothing is clear about them. They might not be so vicious. Or strange. Again, murky. Anyone who believes this "myth" doesn't know much about them. But they have simply named themselves The Court of Fey. Faeries. Fey. Strange words, aren't they? And there's still something I'm forgetting to tell you. Something no one can reveal. But I will try. There are elements in this world. But they are alive. Have thoughts. And they have power. Unhindered. Unhinged. One particular element was so obsessed with power that he craved more. He already had plenty, worth trillions of mystical chests. Not that power is measured that way. It's not measured. It's there. Glamour. He could make t- something longer or shorter for people. But after the Court of Fae was born he could no longer do so. The basic elements of life lost a tiny portion of their power to the new Fey. So Time..." Cough. Sputter. Choke. Her mouth is forced open by an unnatural force as the power of the sea flood her mouth. She's rapidly losing breath. But she won't die yet. No. Her granddaughter should hear one last thing. "Power," her eyes widened to an abnormal degree. "Fuels," No. However tempted, her last breath couldn't be 'I love you'. No. it would have to be, "E- Everyone." Her head lolls back. A scream rattles the lifeless room. A sour, haunting reek slithers in. POWER FUELS EVERYONE.

She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
