Styx

"The air is so heavy....the sun is so bright...where are the trees...?

My name is Styx, and I come from a long line of family members who are Faes or Half-Faes. I am Half-Fae. I am the true cause for the vampire stories that have made it clear across the Pacific Oceans and Shore Lines, from Europe to the United States.

My clan and I are the reason there are so many unsettling stories and untruths about the "Vampyres," or what your kind calls "Vampire."

You see, the true of it is that we are of the Faery Under-world. Another dimension very different from yours. Our dimension is very "airy" and light of foot. Your dimension is extremely heavy. We have a difficult time living under your conditions, so we can only stay for short periods of time. But when we are "here," visiting, we seem to cause quite a stir amongst you mortals. Hence, where these fantastic stories come into arise.

As a Half-Fae, I am able to linger longer in your Heavy Aired World. I look after my Mistress, who is also Part-Fae, but who has to reside with Mortals as part of her assignments. I try to help her out with some very difficult quests.

My world is full of trees, plant life, flowers, tiny life that share our world with us - we have villages that turn many events and festivals, celebrating the changing seasons - out homes are built from the hollows of tree trunks, or "tree houses" built into the branches of some of our oldest oaks.

And we are mostly under the shade of the sun. This does allow us to be fair skinned and very sensitive to excessive light. We love when it rains. Markets are littered throughout our busy villages, with farmed foods, crafts and hand-working hard goods. We do wear a lot of dark clothing, but only to stay clear from Undesirables.

We do not have transportation. We fly. And that is one thing that is true in the stories about us - but there are so many confusing tales...not one is, or can be, the same...either we "shape shift" into bats...or wolfs. We do feed on blood...but only on our mates. (We call this "Merging." This is part of our relationship to one another.) We do not feed on Mortals to live. We can, however, mate with some Mortals, and this allows us to "breed" and enlarge our clans. But, when this happens, the half-breeds are mostly Earth-Bond.

We are a quiet clan, who only wish to help the Mortals, if possible. We are the Keepers of the Dark. We are the Fae, with wings.

Drusilla

The Whispers...

There is a wee little girl with a wee little curl
which dances upon her forehead.
When Miss Edith is good, she is so very good, but when she is naughty, she is truly horrid.

OH!! Miss Edith has an idea...

The itsy bitsy spider went up the tender neck, down oozed the blood,
and the spider sipped like heck.
Out came the sun, the naughty sun that burns the delicate Drusilla,
so to darkness she returns...

Miss Edith has a very naughty idea...

Miss Edith tells Drusilla to go inside,
to pick one of the pretty boys,
to feast upon his hide.
So tender, so fresh, so delightfully ripe,
smelling sweet of blood, of sweat, of lust...
Makes Drusilla's all giddy
to have him for supper, she knows she must...

Miss Edith has a most horrid idea indeed...

Evangeline Ghastly, outfits are handmade. Drusilla and Miss Edith are in New England.
