Niamh
I must be shunned for my own benefit.
I’ve been told as much my entire life. That I am ugly. Ungainly.
Unworthy. An abomination of my race. A fae’s only purpose is to
embody perfection, neatness, and order above all else. We are boundless.
Eternal.
Any deviation from the path is a harbinger of death and destruction.
They tell me, and tell me, and tell me so…
Grateful for their shelter and protection, I have found it within myself to
internalize those teachings.
I’ve made peace with my fate.
What I cannot stomach, however, are the lies. To be fair, I’ve only found
one in my time exploring the alcoves. Just one. A tiny lie that disrupts order
and contradicts the rules they enforce. A lie that entices me to entertain a
dangerous line of thinking—what else might be possible?
There is a book that claims the vamryre never stray beyond their compound.
How could they? Linked in their twisted mental landscape, they cannot bear
to be separated from one another for even a second.
Even a second.
Yet he is always alone. With pale skin and cold eyes, he looks like them,
moves like them. But his thoughts… They show across his face as if written
there in brilliant black ink. Murderous intentions.
Violent fantasies.
He is all anger—not like the rest. They stick to their covens and enclaves,
traveling in pairs of two or more, never alone. Never silent. It’s how they
function, you see. The vamryre. They are like bees in a hive, or that is how
the old scholars referred to them as.
Together they hum with a buzz of emotions, the thoughts of many contained
in one. According to another elder, if you cut one of the creatures they
would all feel the pain. Never do they frown or pout or show any outward
distress.
He is the exception.
Here, where no one else can see, he glowers at the world. The first time I
saw his face still sticks in my mind. Beautiful beyond compare, yet frozen
like the marble statues on the outskirts of the tower compound, battered and
unfazed by time.
Initially, I thought he was simply curious. A creature compelled by his
masters to explore beyond his boundaries. Upon finding this place, he
probably wondered why a lone fae was allowed to stay here. Live here.
Shelter in hiding and in secret.
Such a fool he was to wonder, or so I thought.
It wasn’t until the third day that I realized the truth, and I felt a creeping,
tingling sensation all over my body. The unease festered and festered until I
came back here yet again and found him lingering on the outskirts of the
courtyard.
