A/N HEY YALL! Happy new year! This is another dream I've been having and I'm so glad to get it out, this is very long at almost 7,000 words so I apologize ahead of time! I didn't split it up because just kept going till it was out 😅, yall like it and without farther adu here is the child of Fae folk a/n

I lived in a wintery little village nestled in a Grove surrounded my mountains. We were a suspicious folk and very in tune with our beliefs, especially our belief that we were protected by the fae and that we must always respect all life, even those that we eat must be thanked and we leave food and gifts at the edge of Yue forest that hides the entrance to our little village.

While this make us strange to the neighboring towns and the kingdom that ruled these lands they had learned long ago to leave us be, we were rules by none cept the face. All who dared try to force us died mysteriously so we were left in peace.

That being said our winters were brutal, tgo we were very accustomed to the cold even we had to be careful in the 6 month blizzard time but that time would become my favorite time of year thanks to the strange gift the fae folk left us.

My story begins in our festival to bring in the winter months, as the air turned crisp and cold and the last leaf fell from the trees we would feast for many days and have festive at the end with games, singing and over all merryness when our people returned from the neighboring town with our supplies to tide us through the winter freeze.

My name is felex, meaning happy and I was a very happy child.

I was 6 at the time and I remember being the fastest runner in the village, so when it came time for the snow run (a daring game where those who participated stripped down to their unders and bare feet and ran through the town to the edge of the Yue forest, the first was blessed with good luck for the coming year) I had signed up.

The blow of the horn started the race and I sped off like u was made of wind! My mother and father urged me on while my sister rolled her eyes as I out paced them and the baker, I passed the twin girls of our neighbor house as I sped to the outskirts of our town. I was so busy looking around me and sticking my tounge out at those I left behind I forgot to pay attention to where I was going until I heard the snap of a twig about a yard in front of me.

I whipped my head around only catching the glimmer of emerald green eyes as I fell face first in the snow.

When I emerged from the snow heap the eyes were gone from the forest line but when I jogged the last few feet there was no one there, no footprints or marks in the snow either so I chucked it up to a trick of the light but the eyes huanted me all through the day.

As evening approached we all made our gifts to the fae folk to be left at their alter in the woods and while I had made a gift of a small doll a few months prior it seemed dull and ill fitting now so I put it aside and found the smoothest piece of river glass I could find and painted it the brightest green in the dye house. It was beautiful, the light shined through it illuminating the snow in a blanket of green light! The village praised my gift saying the fae fold would definitely reward my family for such a gift and also because I won the race.

I was nervous tho, would it be enough? As everyone laid their gifts of food, drink and presents at the alter i saved mine for last and when it was finally my turn I layed the river glass directly on the alter and whispered my thank you and also that I had seen their eyes and it was beautiful before running back to my father.

In the next weeks strange events followed, for one our luck did improve dramatically which we expected just not so overwhelming! First my family spotted a white elk, one not seen for centuries in our forest, the saying goes if you touch it then wealth will befall you. Once word got to the village we all prepared to chase the gains beast but as we collectively approaches the forest the white elf emerged slow and calm as an ancient. We all stopped in awe, it had never left the forest before! But it slowly walked over to me, muzzled my face then to my older sister and did the same before walking back to the forest.

The village said we were being blessed by the fae that my gift must have been so beautiful that they needed to show us how much they loved it!

Again and again we had unbelievable luck, my father caught so much fish that we had to make an random extra trip to our nearing town to sell them, my mother a hunter had fallen 10 wild boar a rarity here but really really good.  Of course everything we receive was shared with the village. It was way to much for my little family of four but with everything happening no one in the village was in need of anything, the gold my father brought back from the town was given to the chief of our village to put in the town saving for whenever it may be needed.

But along with the great luck other strange things had happened, there were random footprints that would show up randomly in the middle of our village and go everywhich way before just vanishing in mid step. Nothing was ever taken, the footfalls didn't seem to have any order to them and whomever it was was always barefoot.

The weeks passed and the first snow storm hit and it was bad, the windows shook with the strength of the icey wind and we all bundled in for the cold cold night.

It was late, very late when the door to our house rattled from something banging on it, no one in our village would do so when the moon was so high so it must have been an emergency I thought as I climbed out of my warm bed and ran down the stairs as my mother and father came out if their room and my sister told them of the banging.

The screamed at me nit to open the door but I had already done so and was knocked back by the force of the icy wind from outside, once I had gathered myself I glanced at my frozen parents and sister all staring slack jawed at the doorway and when I turned I saw why.

It was a boy, a strange boy with skin of warm toasted bread that was a nice medium golden brown that would melt the butter nicely and hair that was as black as a ravens feathers that fell in ringlets down his back and eyes as green as the first leafs of spring.

He stood there barefoot on a loose white gown in the icy storm with a unwavering crown of snow upon his head and his eyes never left mine until my mother shrieked and told him to come in and get warm.

Only then did he enter.

We stayed up late attempting to find his parents, where he came from and more but he just wouldn't talk, the chief came over and was also struck by his otherworldly appearance, we have people of color but they didnt resemble the boy nor were they anywhere close as they lived in the high kingdom.

When the chief attempted to take the child to his home until they could figure out what/who he was tge child literally hissed at him and all the lights in the house went out and the storm outside picked up so bad that the door rattled on its hinges until he took a few large steps away from him then as if nothing had happened the boy looked back at the fire burning in the hearth, the lights flickered back on and the storm calmed to a gentle fall. The adults took it as a clear sign the child wanted to stay there and the chief made a safeguarding sign against yhe child and quickly left hoping we had not let evil in to which my father said we were blessed so this must be another gift of some sort.

As the days progressed the boy was my shadow and I loved it, he was simular to my height so he wore an extra pair of my clothes and shoes and he would help me collect fire wood and I would just ramble to him non-stop. I had a habit of being a talker and I stuttered horribly so most would get tired of listing to me and send me off to do a chore or say they had to do a chore and while the kids of yhe village were nice they still grew tired of my talking but not 'Snow' my nickname for the boy, he made no fuss as I rattled on and on and on... and on other then to give a little grunt at me if I stopped to long.

I grew very attached to snow in the months he stayed with me, he shared my room and we would hide under the blankets as I told him stories of the fae folk and how they protected our village and I honestly didn't know how we had lived without him, it was as if he had always belonged with me.

Then late one evening as we were laughing and giggling in the main room as my sister knotted arrows and my father and mother were being mushy to each other (gag) snow suddenly looked up and looked so pained i thought he was going to cry. I tried to console him but he pushed to his feet and gave us all a long hug before going to bed without eating. We were all worried but couldn't figure out what had befallen him.

He was gone in the morning.

I had awoken and his warmth was not there, his black tufts of hair and green eyes didn't great me. My clothes were bundled neatly at the door with my shoes and when I ran outside I was shocked by yhe warmth of the sun, the first day of spring was here.

Time flowed but a melancholy fallen on the little village, snow had become a part of our world and it hurt that he vanished much like he had come, even the chief missed him.

But unlike the others, I was mad. He just, left me! How could he? I fumed all spring and summer then mopped all fall, when the  winter festivals started i sat them out but still made a gift. This time I found a river stone and dyed it a mix of black with a light overtone of blue just like snows hair and left it at the alter. My whispered prayer was to have snow come back... so I could pinch him!

Weeks passed and again our family was blessed with more then regular luck and the village loved it.

The night of the first storm none of us slept, sitting in the main room listening for a bang at the door in silence for many hours. Finally I get up and yelled im going to bed and as I stomped past the door it blew open scaring the life out of me, and their again in a thin strange white gown was snow. At first I was so relieved I ran and hugged him then I remembered he left me and shoved him away and ran up to my room and slammed the door.

In the weeks that followed I ignored snow, it was petty I know but my little 7 year old self felt betrayed. We got into our first fight that year, he throw a snow ball at me and I told him to leave me along so he threw more and I stuck my tongue at him and he grabbed my tongue and wouldn't let go! I ended up punching him and he hit me back much harder and by the time my parents separated us I had a black eye and bruises and he had a split lip and bruises.

He stopped following me that day and three days later I awoke to find him not in bed, fear gripped me as I snuck down tge stairs past my sleeping parents and sisters to find him stripping off my gown he wore and opening the door naked as a new born hen.

By the time I caught up to him he was already nearing the middle of our yard and I fell crying for him to stop, he was always one foot away and no matter how hard I ran I couldn't catch him. My wailing did tho and he stopped and walked back to me.

"D-dont LEAAAAVVEE MEEE AGAIN! Take me with you, i love you!" I cried and I am sure I made quite an ugly sight with snot running down my nose and tears falling down my face but it didnt matter to him as he wiped my face clean, took my hand and came back to the house where he redressed in my night gown and went upstairs woth me where we fell asleep hugging.

I awoke to him and it was as if we had never fought, we came down holding hands ate together then left to do chores together and my father just laughed and said it took us long enough to make up.

After chores and playing with the other kids till *Mable got on my nerves by always choosing snow for her team and hanging off him* we got tired we went and sat on the old log my my house and I began my usual chatter.

" Are you going to talk now? Are you really a mute? I saw a d-d-donkey o-once and it made a funny noise! MYYYYYY sisters crush is leary, the boy with the dark blonde locks, says he's s-s-smoken hehehe. Imma tell her to kiss him in a tree! Still not gonna talk? W-w-where do you go on the snow? Are you not cold? W-will you leave me again?" The last was choked out and I honestly didn't expect and awnser so when he softly replied in a strange accent in words I couldn't understand I was shocked. His words were like a spell being weaved and the only word I caught was "galima" several times. I didn't know i had leaned so close to him till he turned to look at me and those green eyws peirced my soul, ad I tumbled back away from him and off the log.

"You can talk!! W-what did you say? I dont understand..."

He just rolled his eyes and offered me his hand. "Aye, I said... My name is Aoinit." But I had a feeling it wasn't what he had said at all and I was shocked he spoke my language as well.

I rushed home alerti g everyone that he spoke and he confirmed it but we soon found out, the little shit still wouldn't answer any questions. If we asked him something he didn't like he literally would turn his head away slowly and ignore us. Like we didn't exist until we stopped thin act like nothing happened, over the next few weeks everyone in tge village learned just don't ask him personal questions.

As we lay in bed talking I asked again if he would leave me and he just nodded. I couldn't help crying again but he kissed my head, said something again in his native tongue with that word "Galima" in it when I asked what he said, hw said he will return to me until I no longer want him.

I fell asleep and wasn't shocked that he was gone again when the spring sun hit.

Years passed and it became routine for him to come and go with the winter months but they were no less easy to let him go and my feelings for him grew.

One year when I turned 15 Aoi returned, and he was tall and build, barefoot and only in soft white thin slacks. My eyes never left his chest. What did he do the past seasons? Wrestle a bear?! My all that is holly he was ripped, even my sister who was not married sucked in her breath at the sight of our dear smexy snow.

It is safe to say I had not had the same growth sper and my mother had to sow him his own clothes. Not that she minded. My father joked that his body put all the men in the village to shame and that all the girls would be pleasing for his hand and I got extremely agitated to the point I told them I was heading to bed, my family laughed it off as jealousy that I didn't have Aoi's muscles but those green eyes followed me and I felt they knew, I didn't understand the feelings I was having or why my stomach flipped every time his eyes landed on me.

I expected him to want a separate room now that he was, well ripped, and to start separating himself from me so I didn't hurt his chances or being betrothed but I was shocked when he entered my room stripped down to his unders and climbed in bed to snuggle with me.

"Did you miss me as I missed you?"
I asked and his reply shook my body as his voice had gotten so deep over the season it caused an involuntarily heavy shiver and heat to bloom all over.

"Aye, Felix. I missed you"

As the weeks passed my happiness was over shadowed by the village folks young woman and men who were all vying for Snows attention be it him helping them with mundane stupid stuff that they clearly could have done on their own or asking him to take a walk in the woods to the local make out spot or cornering him asking if 'his lips were sweet'.

I ended up kicking Mable who was attempting to trick him into groping her by daring him to catch the peice of corn that had fallen down her shirt and I had snapped, we were called into the chiefs house and he gave me and Mable a bop on the head and told us to behave, we are young adults not babies. I was mad to say the least, why was I in troble?! They wouldn't give snow a break and his time was ending again soon.

I found him at our log and sat by him as he apologized for not understanding what was happening with Mable then he took my hand and led me I to the forest, for a second I had the irrational thought that he was going to take me to the make out spot but quickly pushed it to the back of my mind and completely ignored how happy that thought had made me.

He led me to a tree fort he had been making slowly over the years and I saw it was finally completed! There was no ladder, we got in by climbing and jumping from limb to limb on the tree.

"This is our place,No one will bother us here." He said with a smile and my heart beat really fast and my nerves got to me so I just blurted out nonsense.

"S-Stupid head! I l-love it!" And stuck my tongue out at him and like usual he grabbed it but this time he didn't let go.

"Aye, keep giving me your tongue and ill claim it and  put it to good use" he whispered in that deep accented voice and I got hard for the first time that wasn't attributed to the sun coming up in the morning.

He broke the awkwardness by flicking me on the head and saying he was taking a nap and left me standing by the window. I dont tgink he knew I was hard but if he did I was grateful for him letting me calm myself down.

The tree fort became our spot to hide away and it didn't go unnoticed by the other youths in the village as they started to say I was stealing him from them and hogging him for myself, to which the chief agreed daying I needed to not minupulate his time when he returns in the winter months.

This finally came to a head the summer season of my 18th year, this winter solace being the coming of age ceremony when those of their 18th winter may choose a betrothed to marry. Everyone had their sites on Aoi when he returned and it was annoying as play

I told my family it was unfair, he chose us and we had always spent a great deal if time together why did it have to change now?

"There is something we have been meaning to tell you, the chief is hoping Aoi will choose a betrothed this winter blessing since you are all of age now, both the chiefs daughter and son are interested and as the next village chiefs they get first choose at yhe coming of age ceremony and of he doesn't refuse then... then thats that." My mother said while patting my hand

"Ehem that means that he must be able to get to know the others too" my father spoke not meeting my eyes "he has a right to make an informed decision"

" What are you s-saying!?"  I yelled my hard was pounding and my hands were sweaty and shaking, they couldn't be saying what I thought right? But then my father confirmed it.

"We want you to leave him alone this winter, Aoi... Aoi will be staying at the chiefs house to- to give you both space."

"NO, he doesn't want space! And he doesn't want to stay at the chiefs house! You can't make that decision for him! I won't intend unless he says thats what he wants, why are you both just a-abandoning him!?"  I slammed my hands on the table and got up to leave. Something wasn't right. Why was this an issue now? Why couldn't he stay?

"We aren't honey! We love snow too but the village thinks we are... hogging him and his gifts. Since the winter he has come we have been, uh blessed. More so then any family has ever been in the village and it is starting to make others think we are being selfish because of our blessings and then we also received Aoi, they feel we should give up one thing and Aoi technically isnt ours to keep" my mother said as a tear fell down her face and she quickly wiped it away.

My father also looked heart broken, so the village who we gave the majority of every blessing we received, all the gold we acquired thought us selfish? Was it not the fae who chose the worthy? I even stopped participating in the winter race and other families had won and were blessed witg a small healthy crop, birth of a wanted child, abundance of something for a month but it didnt ever add up to the luck or blessings we receive for years. My sister had had twins a rare and lucky birth who were so gifted that they were requested my the kingdom to live there and grow so that her daughters may have the best schooling, he husband became the right hand of the king and his while family moved out there and are lords now, it seemed that our blessings passed to those who marry into our family as well but tho many offers passed to my father for my hand I refused them all and they were past the age for birthing another nore wanted to even at the pushing of the villagers so it seemed now they resented us and wanted Aoi to marry out hoping to get more blessings for themselves.

I stomped to my room and slammed the door. The fall season we were basically treated as if we were less then the others, my parents would go to the autumn festival but were basically ignored or one worded until they left then we would hear the roarous laughter of the village as the celebrated without us, we still gave the majority of our blessings to the village and all of the gold we got for the fish we sold but he took it as if it was what we were suppose to give to him and then he complained that it was short 6 peices then last year and my father laughed and said yes he had bought a gift for my mother and sister and her children while we were out.

The chief exploded on my father calling him names and saying how selfish he was to use the money the village needed for his ungrateful wife and children when others needed it more.

I snapped and screamed at him that this was us being kind that our gifts from the fae were NOT theirs and they should be grateful we were sharing, the slap I received knocked me on my butt and I stated blood while the chief called for me and my father to be thrown out of his house.

Since then we are shunned my everyone, they spit at our feet and destroy the gifts we leave for the fae in the alter so I made another deeper in the woods for just me and my family's gifts. As the winter festival approached we were excluded from the activities and notices were posted everywhere in the village for Aoi to go to the chiefs house when he came, they even posted one on our door and threatened that if we removed it we'd be kicked out of the village.

That night my parents went to bed, they didn't think snow would come with all the signs leading him away from us. I couldn't sleep, my heart was heavy and I was scared that he really wouldn't come because I wasn't able to make the dyed river glass this year thanks to the women who made the dye refusing to give me any, they said they made their own that was prettier and better then mine and when I saw them at the alter in place of mine, shiny silver,blue,purple and yellow they really were pretty.

I fell asleep on the floor in front of the hearth only to away being carried to my room.

"Papa? Put me down you'll hurt your back!" I said and tried to get down gently so I didn't hurt him but as my hands brushed a bare chest all sleep flew away and I looked up and cried as Aoi smiled down at me and laid me on the bed wiping my tears as he muttered in that same beautiful language with "Galima" repeated over and over.

I hugged him to me as i cried and he just let me cry until my sobs slowed to hiccups

"Why so many tears?" He rumbled but I didn't answer as I was preoccupied feeling his chest. My Holly fae he was so firm. I became flustered so I punched him in he hard ass pec and started fussing nonsense to cover up my growing arousal but he just laughed and spoke calming strangeness to me again

"W-what does that mean? Yelm me really this time, I know you were lying that isnt your name." I huffed turning away from him, mostly to hide the fact I was hard.

Worse thing I ever did.

He pulled me to him spooning me against his larger body and whispered in my ear:

"It means:I am yours and you are mine. From the moment you left me that stained river glass I was yours and ill always be yours until you no longer want me, Galima."

"What-what-what is g-galima?" I said turning to look at him as his hands slowly started to slide up and down my stomach

"Love, Galima means love" and he kissed me  stealing my breath and igniting my body on fire. His hands slipped under my night shirt and into my pants to grip my member and I am sure I screamed my pleasure.

I am sorry Mama and Papa, please cover your ears.

My hands were all over him touching, pulling scratching when he grabbed my hand and slowly slid it down his chest to his abdomen and towards the thin pants he always arrived in. His groan was the sexist thing I had ever heard as I wrapped my hand around his penis, it was bigger then mine as well everything on him was bigger then me now and the warmth coming off of him was addictive in the winter chill surrounding us.

"I want to s-see it" I said as I sucked on his neck as we rocked together and he nodded and swallow as he pulled away from me to push the covers back and his pants down and I did the same.

It wasn't the first time I had seen him naked, nor him me but itvwas the first time i saw him in a lust filled daze and the feelings I had ignored bombarded me all at once and I ended up shaking unsure of what to do first or if I was allowed to do the things that I had imagined.

"Touch me, Galima" he said pulling me close and kissing me while he slid my hands to his butt and I gripped it tight pushing our members together as I rutted against him as he kissed and sucked on my neck.

I was so close and I assume he was to by how choppy our thrusts had gotten but neither of us would get to come as there was a bang so hard on the fount door that it shook the house, I could hear yellingvfrom outside and see the orange glow of torches.

We quickly dressed and met my parents downstairs where were staring at the chief you had broken down our door and was standing in the main room.

"WHERE IS HE? DID YOU THINK WE WOULDNT KNOW! YOU-" and he stopped when he saw me and snow standing on the stairs.

"Ah Aoi my boy! There you are! Did you see the notices around town? Maybe not in this storm?" And he gave a fake laugh before asking to come in with his son and daughter and sent the rest of the towns people away.

"We were worried something happened to you, my daughter particularly felt we should che-" he said attempting to walk to Aoi but he abruptly walked past him to look at the broken door frame.

"Why did you break their door?" And his usual deep accented voice that caused me to shiver in pleasure caused me to shiver in fear this time. It was cold and deep like a frozen trench.

"Oh a minor misunderstanding! We will fix it right? No harm done!" The chief shakily got out but Aoi ignored him again as he tried to walk towards him causing him to look at my father for help, my father turned away and looked at the fire. My mother turned her back on him and went to the kitchen, as chief we had no right to kick him out but we didn't have to speak up.

So his daughter Susan tried.

" we were just so worried somethi-"

"Why? What happened here that made you think I would not be safe where I always have been?" And she crumbled at the coldness in his voice "You, fix the door, Now" and the Chief ran and started to fix the door, as he did the storm outside kicked up hitting him with sharp ice shards that left hundreds of little cuts on his hands and face but when he looked back at Aoi his face paled and he looked away to finish foxing the door without a word, I will never know what he saw that day but whatever it was he chose the pain of the ice then Aoi's wrath and he would lose two fingers from frostbite.

With the failing of both his father and sister Craig decided he should also give it a try:

"What my sister and father mean is that we wanted to offer you a chance to stay at the chiefs house this winter, t-the coming of age ceremony will be in a week and thought a change of scenery would be nice so you didn't feel obligated to stay around Felix as you must have felt all these years-"

"I felt no such thing, I am with my Galima because it is were I wish to be." Aoi dismissed his words and I wanted to kiss him right then and there but held myself back as a smiled like a loon, he had smiled back before his eyes hardened and he stormed to me.

"What is that? Who touched you? Is this why you cried? Speak now, Galima..." his eyes had began to glow and all I could do was stare in awe at how beautiful they were.

"I am fine, snow. I-its o-ok" I mean I was other then he was getting me excited looking all hot and strong and

"No, Tell me who hit you! Galima FOCUS" he growled and I just shivered "I will kill all of them if you dont tell me who did this" he whispered in my ear and that snapped me back to the conversation at hand and not my libido.

"No, no snow please don't k-kill anyone, ok? Please? If you promise ill tell you once everyone has left, ok?" He watched me not saying anything before he finally nodded and told them to hurry and get out. Once the door was repaired the chief tried again to convince Aoi to come home with them but he just closed the door in his face.

While we must respect the chief, Aoi had no such obligations and I loved it!

Aoi hugged my parents and they fanned over him like always before my mother made a light meal and they went to sleep. I was nervous, so I aimlessly milled about the kitchen as snow waited by the hearth. When I could no longer avoid him and the coming subject I shuffeled out to where he sat on the woven rug we had fallen asleep on so many times in our younger youth.

" it-it-it wa-was the c-ch-" i tried to get out but I was to nervous, the words were like hiccups refusing to leave my mouth when he pulled me down beside him and kissed me.

" Aye I know, it was your Chieftain. I shall not kill him but I know what they have done to you and they all will suffer, do you understand? After the coming of age ceremony you and your parents are leaving with me." He growled out against my neck as he slid his nails down my stomach to my groin pulling my member from my pants and jerking me fast as the words fell from his lips.

I came hard and fast grabbing his shoulders as a tried to hold back the groan I new would wake the dead if it got out, and would have failed if he had not kissed me and swallowed it.

He leaned over me jerking himself until he came on my face and chest while I tried to catch my breath and the sight of his orgasim would be burned into my mind forever.

The week to fallow was awkward as people attempted to be nice to me and my family again with aoi with us but we would only give them polite hellos or nods, this place doesn't feel like home anymore and the people I had grown up with felt like strangers. My father thought for sure they would have burned our house down if Aoi had not been there and agreed to leave with Aoi that night of the coming of age ceremony.

I felt they new, they saw my mother not leave a gift for the ceremony and my father didn't put my name in the bowl for made for those of age to be betrothed.

Night fell and the ceremony started with the chief giving us a speech on the history of our village and how as the children of the chief his children my have first pick of whom they wish to court, and what a privilege that would be. This speech was very different from the ones before, which was about how they grew into great adults and tvis was their time to be merry and find first love or choose a betrothed, no this speech made it seem as if whomever was chosen by his children didn't have a right to refuse and that wasn't true, it was a trap set for Aoi whom  the assume  didn't know.

After we were given our first spiced drink, it was extremely strong, much too strong to give to us our first time and our first pipe which also was too strong and I felt the heady feeling almost immediately, as I began swaying to the music and falling over onto Snows shoulder, I could feel eyes on me but couldn't focus enough to see who was watching.

Then I was being pulled to my feet by Craig to dance but I didn't feel good, I just wanted my fae from the snow and I must have said it outload because Craig sneered at me that his sister was claiming Aoi and he would claim me.

I pulled away and frantically looked for snow as fear set in but when i turned back as Craig grabbed my arm stopping me from leaving I saw snow behind him shoving a crying Susan off of his arm as he approached Me and Craig.

"Ah f-father I choose Felix as my be-" the words never left his mouth as an unseen force blasted him away from me.

The ceremony went quiet as the snow started to fall gently around us and tge clouds parted together the moonshine fall on the beautiful mystery that came to me so many years ago and just like so many years ago a crown of snow sat upon his black curls.

As he walked slowly to me he began speaking in his native tongue the same words he spoke to me so long ago on my favorite log, I heard gasps from the villagers and I just realized no one had ever heard his language spoken before other then me.

When he was in front of me, I kissed him before he could stop speaking. I wasn't sure what he was saying but I felt the urge that I had to agree to something, say yes.  So I did, and as soon as the words left my mouth I heard a shreak and when I looked were were surrounded by bare foot people dressed in flowing clothes and while they all looked simular to Aoi, their eyes were different and their hair was more of a brown then black or gray and white. Then they separated and a tall man with hazal eyes and a woman just as tall with emerald green eyes walked over to us and layed their hands above and below our clasped hands.

"Welcome"

Then they left me and took the hands of my parents and walked away vanishing as tho they were never their, the rest of their people bowed as Aoi led me past the chief and tge other villagers to the edge of the circle and I could feel something outside of the ring of fae, like a vortex of wind before we could step out the chief screamed for me to stop.

"You can't take him! He is apart of my village and and he is betrothed to my son!"

A honey brown fae stepped out of the circle an backhanded him so hard he hit the ground and in a hissing voice said:

"He belongs to Noone except his husband who he chose of his free will. You and your people have spoken put against the blessings we have given you and now these blessings are revoked."  With that they all vanished and I turned my back on the home I once knew and stepped into the blizzarding vortex to my new home with my betrothed, my love my Galima.

The end.
