[P] Come with me [M:E]

Elvia.  Fey form.
Lianedra.  Human form.


It had been several months since Elvia had first stumbled into this world, and seen a most enchanting woman in the grove.  Through the fog of the forests, they had walked and talked that first night away--until the dawn had started to break over the skies, and Elvia had apologized and dashed away, but not before kissing the woman gently on the cheek.

The next night, Elvia had emerged.  She had not been hoping to encounter the woman, but when she saw her there, she couldn't help but beam brightly.  Again, the two had spent the night talking and walking through the forest.
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

This would go on for several weeks.  As summer came along, Elvia could stay less and less time in the forest at night, but something about her seemed more enchanting and mystical as summer's eve came along.  Lianedra had asked her about it, and Elvia had been plain with her.

"I am a fairy," she'd said.  "I live in a land of youth and eternity, and this is the time of the year when we are stronger in this world--it is easier for us to enter, but we can still only stay in this world during the night.  Normally, I only appear before the start of the season, to see how things are in the world at the time.  This time... this time was different."

"How was this time different?" Lianedra asked her, and Elvia had smiled as she placed a gentle hand on her cheek.  For a brief moment, the spot on her cheek where Elvia had kissed her glowed, and it faded as soon as Elvia's touch left her cheek.

"Our king and queen have told us the same thing for eons," Elvia explained.  "There are many fey who do not find their beloved among our kind, living in our land of eternity.  Many of us will find out beloved in the beyond, and when we find them... we will know, because they will bear the mark of our kiss, even long after it has faded."

"...wait," Lianedra said, taking an uncertain step back.  "I've... I've heard of this before.  Always the same thing, saying that you should be wary of fairy circles in the forest, lest the fey take you in..." she said, and Elvia frowned.

"Not all of the fey are like that, Lianedra," she said softly, looking away from her as she said this.  "Many of us are simply curious of your kind, and we would never dream of keeping you from your world, if it is truly where you wish to be.  There are some fey who even choose to live in this world, but as we are immortal--regardless of where we are--those fey often outlive their beloved, and return to our land and live out the rest of their days in silence and solitude."

"And the ones who choose to go to your world?  Your... land of eternity?" Lianedra asked.

"While it is not true immortality, they live longer in our land than they would if they remained in their own world," Elvia explained.  "If they were to come back after a year had passed, they would come to find that the world they left behind is much, much different."

"I see," Lianedra said.  "I'm just not sure that... I understand, fully," she said.  "What I've always heard about fairy circles is that, for every minute you're in one, seven years pass in the real world."

"It is not quite as simple as that," the fey said.  "It is roughly that amount, but merely standing in a fairy circle won't do that.  You actually need to cross into the fairy world before the time begins to matter.  It is why we ask our beloved if they are really certain about coming into the fairy world with us--just five minutes in our world is thirty-five years in yours."

"So... this is something that the other person has to be completely certain about," Lianedra said, and Elvia nodded.

"One of my best friends remained in the real world.  The last time I saw her, she told me that she knew we would likely never see one another again.  The next day, she returned, and she was... not herself.  Thousands of years had passed, and her beloved had passed on.  She tried to make her way in that world, but when only disease and fatal injuries bring our demise... making a life in a place like this is not the easiest."

"Thousands of years?" Lianedra asked, staring in shock at the fey.  "And you're certain that she was only gone for a day?"

"As certain as I live and breathe," Elvia said.  "I waited near the gate for that whole day, wondering if she would ever come back.  When she did, she literally didn't look the same, and her first words to me were,
'Don't tell me you've been waiting there this whole time.  I lived my life, and you've just been standing here,
waiting.'  That's when I realized I needed to do something, or else I would be watching more people leave and come back, and have them say the same thing to me."
