02-08 - The forbidden

An attempt to write a horror story for faery - because they would presumably be afraid of an addictive plant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I just want to taste it," said Li'lallen. I know we're not supposed to, but I just had a birthday and I've been so very, very curious.


"But you must not," said Da'in. "The fae counsel specifically forbids it."


Flying faster up, Li'lallen headed East.


"I know where a batch is that just finished growing," said Li'lallen. "It's just over this hill."


"Don't you know what will happen," asked Da'in, following close behind.


"It is said to do many amazing things but to also be terribly addictive." said Li'lallen. I can't imagine just a little will do us any harm."


"Us?" asked Da'in. "I never said I would join you!"


Halting abruptly, the tall, blue stalks rose several feet above both faeries.


"Look how BORING this plant is!" said Li'lallen. "There's no way it does what they say."


Looking at the stalks, Da'in said, "All I know is that they said it was forbidden. I trust them."


"Those old fogies," said Li'lallen. They haven't had their mind changed in hundreds of years. And nobody has even died from these for twice as long as that!"


"Look," said Da'in. "I don't want you to get hurt. We are life-bound and I also would not want to have to attend to your bed because you chose to be foolish."


"Tell you what," said Li'lallen. "How about you smell it. Just hold it up to your nose. You've always told me you are super-sensitive to poisons - surely this would be one of the few times that it would actually be useful."


Sighing, Da'in said, "Okay. I will smell it."


Da'in flew close to the nearest bright blue stalk. The breezy afternoon caused them to sway back and forth - Da'in's eyes and head followed the swaying as he flew close.


Looking left and right, Da'in fully expected to see someone ... anyone ... to pop out of the brush. But nobody appeared.


Da'in flew even closer and deeply inhaled. Da'in's bright eyes slowly dimmed - becoming a dark, dark black.


"I don't think the counsel knew what they were talking about," said Da'in. Holding the blue stalk in his hands, Da'in breathed in deeply.


"Wanna try some, now that we're out here," said Da'in. "I think you were right. There's nothing to worry about."


Smiling, Li'lallen flew closer, landed on another blue stalk, and inhaled of the plant.


Da'in watched as Li'lallen's eyes too dimmed becoming dark, dark black.


With a dark smirk, Da'in flew over to Li'lallen and ravished her. Then she ravished him.


"I can see why they warned us away from this," said Li'lallen. "But I think they were wrong. It smells so good and feels even better."


"And besides," said Da'in. "If they disagree, all they need is to smell it to be convinced."


"Oh yes," said Li'lallen.

As Mary made her way along the path, the way grew a little wider; the subtle hint of the crashing waves behind her gave way to a sweet murmuring.  "The air seems cooler," Mary thought to herself, as the murmuring grew gently louder.  Moving along the path, Mary saw the walk bubbling up quietly from some unseen source; where the water flowed, along the path, the slope of the hill fell.  "Wow, natural spring water," Mary thought a she held her flask against the current.  The left and right side of the path were covered in a clear, clean stream, and the center of the path held rocks that continued the path, sloping upwards.  Having taken a few solid gulps and filling her flask, Mary hopped onto the first rock, being careful to land in the center. "How curious," considered Mary, as she looked at the stepping stone.  "It appears to be made of wood but decorated as if it were stone."  Looking forward, Mary noted the stones continued on their steady p

Playing with the small arms, Mary thought “what if I ...” A small whirring sound beneath the base of the object seemed to resonate along the fingertips in contact with the arms. “Of course,” exclaimed Mary as she stepped back from the stone dais. “It is an astrolabe! I used to build these at home when daddy brought home stories!” Excited, Mary watched as the well rotated in place and beneath the aligned arrowheads, a small stone had recessed near her left knee. Bending over, Mary noticed a faint odor. “Is that … violets,” asked Mary as her eyes drew closer to the hole. “Why do I smell violets?” Looking closer, Mary realized the hole into the well went back only a foot; within the hole lay a small bed of blue petals. Amidst the petals lay a small metal object. Near her right foot, Mary picked up a small stick and gently placed it within the hole. Not hearing any response from the hole, Mary moved the small piece of metal closer to the edge. “I wonder what this is,” considered Mary as

[.: Brainstorm; random words :.] Gossamer dreams of ember days, ordinary ordinations gone ablaze, and time lost to sand and haze, has come to roost in deeper plays. "Why am I here," asked Mary, as she stood on the beach.  There had been a point where Mary was quite certain of what she had been doing.  She was sure of it.  "I don't recall how I arrived here," stated Mary to her shadow.  Standing on the beach, letting the wind draw attention to her feet, Mary glanced at the designs drawn by waves from unknown shores.  Small eddies revealed shells, filling the spaces between her toes, and slowly she walked; the waves crashed gently to her right as the soft sun hid behind clouds and cast a shadow several feet ahead. "Perhaps I shall run across someone whom I might recognize," said Mary, as she moved along the shore.  "At the very least, they might help me remember something."  As the beach slowly revealed a dune in the distance, the water
