Shade nods. "Makes sense. But what about the other parent?"
"Wait, you... you're... magic?" "Darling, what do you think?" (Fantasy o/o Closed)

Farah was already shaking her head. "I have no idea."

Shade nods. "Fair enough. We'll do some more research tomorrow."
She calls, and the dragon comes again. She pulls Farah up, then the dragon takes off.

Farah slipped her arms around Shade and rested her cheek on Shade's shoulder.

They reach the camp quickly, and Shade blinks them down to the ground, making sure to warn Farah beforehand. In the harsh moonlight, she could see Saul and Brucie, but no trace of Migina.
C'mon, let's get some sleep. Long day tomorrow. she says.
group
Farah moved to follow, but a whistle from the woods stopped her. It sounded like an ordinary bird call to anyone but Farah.
"You go on," she murmured to Shade. "I'll be over in a minute."

Shade looks back at Farah. You sure?
group
"Yes," Farah replied aloud and absently, narrowing her eyes at the forest. She slowly began to pace towards the sound of the bird call.

Shade sighs, the lays down next to Saul, rekindling the fire with a thought. She watches Farah wander into the forest.
group
Farah slipped between the trees, looking around and waiting to hear the call again – there! She jerked her head to see a little robin sitting in a bush. Her eyes narrowed. "What the hell do you think you're doing here?" she asked quietly but sharply.

Slowly, Shade gets up, curiosity getting the better of her. The aura vision slips easily over her own, and she sees a spirit aura near Farah. As a matter of fact…
What the…? she wonders, closing her thoughts to Farah.
group
The bird chirped once again and shifted into its human form: a tall, smirking woman with long and wild jet black hair and tanned skin. "Hello, Farah," she cooed, touching the faerie's waist with one hand and brushing hair out of Farah's face with the other. "Have you missed me?"
Farah shuddered at the woman's touch and took a step back to break out of her grip.
The woman arched her eyebrows. "Well, I'll take that as a no then."
"What are you doing here?" Farah hissed. "Someone could see you!"
"And someone did," the woman retorted. "The exact someone I wanted, in fact. All it took was a little birdcall."

Shade slowly, silently, slips into the forest, following Farah's trail. She sees the spirit, and a flash of recognition goes through her like a lighting bolt.
She sinks to her knees. No… her?
group
Farah turned away, prepared to head back to Saul and Shade and the fire, but the woman caught her wrist and expertly twisted it behind Farah's back so their chests were pressed together. "Silly little faerie thinks she can escape my influence," she murmured, eyeing Farah's lips hungrily.
"Stop," Farah demanded, though she feared to move. One wrong move with the way her arm was twisted, and it was broken.
The woman lowered her black lips beside Farah's ear and whispered huskily. "No."

Shade gets up, a fire igniting inside her. She keeps it in check.
"Leave her, Mother." she snarls.
group
(FUCK)
The woman's eyes dart up and meet Shade's. She arched an eyebrow and smirked. "Hello, darling."
Farah didn't move, but she recognized the voice anyway. Her eyes closed worriedly. "Why did you follow me?"

(Laughing evilly YES!)
Shade steps into the moonlight, and it illuminates her. "I followed you because I knew she was here. And trust me, I only just realized who she was."
group
(That is so not what I had in mind, but let's go!)
Farah opened her eyes again, and her face was devastatingly close with the spirit's, so much so that their noses brushed. "Let go of me," she demanded.
The woman's black-painted lips pulled into a smirk. "No, I don't think I will. You're quite nice to hold." Finished addressing Farah, she looked up at her daughter. "You know who I am, and you don't even know my name…" She clicked her tongue against her teeth and gave Shade an up-and-down look. "Pity."

(Lol, sorry!)
(I am laughing in the middle of Fin Lit XD)
Shade sighs, and a spark of darkness forces her mother away from Farah. "Leave her."
She walks forward, into a range that would have been insulting to anybody but this woman.
group
Farah gasped, feeling her aura wither under the definitive pressure from the other spirit. She collapsed to the ground when Shade forced her abuser away, and she trembled on her hands and knees while drawing breaths shakily. She still couldn't fathom why the spirit was showing herself now after hiding away for so long.
The woman's eyes glittered at Shade's boldness. "Oh, you're definitely my daughter," she stated haughtily. "What are you doing around the fae? Most specifically this one."

Shade laughs slightly, restoring Farah's aura to her, a dangerous glint in her eyes as she looks the spirit up and down.
"Why now?" she asks.
group
"Why now?" she asked, arching her eyebrows. "Well, it was only a matter of time before Farah figured out it was me, right? I mean, she already knew either your mother or father had to be a spirit, and the male spirits are few and far between. Don't ask me why." She waved her hand dismissively. "But she was getting close, so I figured I'd stop by. Surprise you both. Introduce myself."
Farah refused to face the spirit who was Shade's mother. She only looked at Shade. "You need to run," she hissed.

Shade just looks at her mother, then sighs.
"And to think I thought my dad was a spirit." she snarks.
Shade shakes her head. "I'm not running. I have a pretty good idea who my dad is now. My mother is physically incapable of harming me."
group
The woman's expression was cold. "Am I?" she asked, a snapping undertone to her voice. Her fingers curled at her sides. "You must not know who you're talking to."
"Shade, please," Farah begged with her. "Run, now."

Shade stands her ground. "Begone, spirit, in the name of Sêk'æne, my father, the lord of Time and Space. You are not welcome here any longer."

(Btw, the name Sêk'æne is pronounced SEHK-an. The æ is the letter of Anglo-Saxon English, aesch. It's pronounced like the 'a' in 'ash'.)

The spirit's eyes hardened. "That name means nothing to me anymore."

Shade snorts. "It means everything. You know this. Do not make me remove you forcibly."

"It means nothing," she snarled. "As if you could."

Shade raises an eyebrow. "Farah, cover your eyes. If you don't, you could be blinded."
She turns back to her mother, and time and space fold and twist around her, removing her and barring her from this world. As this happens, extreme ammounts of light and anti-light are released.
