What happens when magic gets lost in the dark?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There was once a powerful scholar who, after an entire lifetime dedicated to the study of the arcane arts and the writing of grimoires to refine and preserve her knowledge, fell in love. He was a marauder, a war hero and vicious foe, praised for his skill and loyalty to their kind and cause. Their work took them in opposite directions, but they were unable to bear being apart. The couple swore off their world and all their duties, abandoned all restraint, and vanished together into the wilds. Where they went and what happened to them still remains a mystery unsolved. Superiors spread that they had died in their plight, unable to survive without civilization. Their peers imagine they lived happily ever after in some lovely foreign land, perhaps even disappeared into the fabric of magic itself. Students in the arcane academies theorize that their ending was much darker: they wandered into something that should have been left forever unfound; the couple were corrupted into something terrible. No one ventures after them to find out. They are now just a story, a warning or a romantic tale, depending on who tells it.



Guidelines
All Faeries (for short) must be descended from Hepheira and Erendriel. Both dragons are 1st Gen.
A Faerie must have Arcane eyes.
Faeries can be any colors. The suggested scheme is to keep primary and secondary colors between Thicket and Green, and tertiary colors between Berry and Bubblegum.
XXX, XXY, XYY, XYX, and XYZ are all acceptable.
Tertiary genes must be Stained.
Faeries can be any species.



The Children of Faeriewood Forest are a generation of Arcane dragons warped by a dark, cursed object found by Hepheira in a nearly lifeless forest. Every child born to Hepheira and Erendriel are known to have incredible reserves of dark magic running in their veins, along with a number of physical advantages that set them apart from uncorrupted dragons. They are much larger in size and stronger than the average dragon, and they posses a vitality and endurance that is unnatural. Their scales and teeth are often sharpened and hardened like steel, tainted to dark shades or zapped of saturation, and many have a number of dark feathers that grow on their bodies. Often, bright pink runes decorate them, though is unknown if they cast them or if they appeared unprompted.

Little is known about them by the outside world, as few return once lost in the bleak, silent, inescapable forest of Faeriewood. Even the Faeries themselves know little about the magic that feeds them and keeps them contained within the wood. Their mental capacities are often diminished, not in terms of intelligence but in terms of being able to remember things, as their short term memories are foggy and slip away from them unexplained. They are more easily overcome with emotions like rage, sadness, and desire, and so are often impulsive. Without wildlife in the forest, they are forced - and often enjoy - to feed on travelers who wander into the wood, drawn by that same magical appeal that once drew Hepheira, and who find themselves unable to remember a way out.

The beach they selected was far away enough to be on the outside borders of their land, but near enough to a low village in the hills nearby that they could get supplies and trade their surplus catch. Hepheira even began studying the arts of vegetable and herbs gardening; she began to devour book after book on the subject of survival, fantasizing about their happily ever after in a modest homestead they kept all to themselves. She packed only what she could carry: a bag of seeds, useful tinctures for healing, and other personal effects. Erendriel would carry very light as well, as he planned to run while on a marauding venture. They would meet at a crossroads, where the road from the greatest river in the land, where he was, and the road from the city, where she was, converged in a vast forest.

(wip)
Their plan was to escape to the ocean, where they could settle in a cove and thrive off fish and spring water. The beach they selected was far away enough to be on the outside borders of their land, but near enough to a low village in the hills nearby that they could get supplies and trade their surplus catch. Hepheira even began studying the arts of vegetable and herbs gardening; she began to devour book after book on the subject of survival, fantasizing about their happily ever after in a modest homestead they kept all to themselves. She packed only what she could carry: a bag of seeds, useful tinctures for healing, and other personal effects. Erendriel would carry very light as well, as he planned to run while on a marauding venture. They would meet at a crossroads, where the road from the greatest river in the land, where he was, and the road from the city, where she was, converged in a vast forest.

It was the perfect location for them to meet, as no one would dare to follow them in.

They would not meet again as the lovers they once were.

There is magic here in the forest.
Magic, in its rawest form, lived in the blood of her kind; dragons were born with it, and could call upon it for use after formal training. Mages were made after years and years of study and practice, and aided by the use of magical items that acted at catalysts. Even then, magic was slow, deliberate, mild in nature.

In her fascination, Hepheira forgot about how dark it had gotten, and her worries disappeared. She followed the magic through the treeline, almost like a scent trail, through the forest until she reached a very strange place indeed.

It was a scalded clearing with three buildings burnt black,
with soot so thick over everything that even the ground was dark underneath her. Something bizarre here had happened, and it was the lightless center of this strange forest.
