Fairytales of Eifel no1: The Fey Curse
Mar. 31st, 2008 12:05 pmOnce upon a time,
Back before the Eiflans, durring the time of the Alfs, there was a Fey Colony, who lived at the base of the Holy Tree.
The leaders of this colony were the Seraph Caste Fey, who were kind and balanced. Of them all the most revered was Amiryss.
Amiryss was in love with another Fey, a lovely Cherub Caste named Manna. Manna, like the other Cherub Caste Fey in this colony,
Guarded the enterance to the path to Enlyl, the Goddess. Every day, Amiryss would bring Manna a lunch and the two would sit and eat together,
chatting happilly and enjoying their lives.
But there was another Fey, a Seraph Caste named Nym, who was emamored with Amiryss. She grew jealous of Manna and, going against her very nature,
she put a curse on the Fey, making it so that Manna was incapable of returning Amiryss' affections. No love spell nor potion could change her heart. The curse caused her wings to fall off, and eventually turned her into a man. In fact, the spell was so strong that Manna lost her ability to feel love for anyone, and since her nature could not reconcile itself with this, she fell into despair and destroyed herself. Amirys followed soon after, Commiting suicide in order to join her in the next life.
Nym, racked with guilt over her horrible acts, feld up the tree to the place of the Goddess and begged her to serve her just punishment for what she had done.
Enlyl could see that the Fey was punishing herself internally far more than the Goddess herself ever could, but she felt something must be done anyway, so she charged her dragons, Shamsel the Wrathfull and Ramiel the Kind to come up with a suitable solution to the dilema.
Shamsel, being the more suited of the two for punishing, considered for a time, and then transformed Nym into a Boreal, and banished her to the Frozen Lands to live with others of her kind.
She was never heard from again.
This tale is simple and tragic, but it serves to remind us that selfish deeds only beget pain and suffering for all involved.
The End.
