Counsel's called at the Grange 2mrrow. Imagine that, eh? U'd a think the ground's gonna open n swallow me up. Never see come see... - A
Arrow. Arrow? Y u gots ur hand on her brow like that fer? 'S Beauty ok?? - Runt
*sigh* Hey Squeak. Ur back quick. She's good. I was jist hoping to step in the dreaming with her. She sees things in there, n time's short. I thought maybe, but the images r too jumbled. - A
Huh. She sees things out here too even tho she's in there. She talks to me sometimes. Sound asleep she is, but there we go, having the oddest convos. - R
Really? Like? - A
Weell... She asked me wots me biggest fear n wots my greatest love... - R
And? - A
I told her my greatest love was me biggest fear n she told me that was Walker's fodder. Gots to say that scared me a wee bit. - R
Huh. No doubt!
So u's afraid to lose wots u love most. That about cover it? - A
*nod* - R
Well. U understand them spooks feed off ur energy, aye? N once they've tapped into u they have a line to u that u can feel if ur paying attention. They poke at ya thru it. Stirring wants n loves n mostly fears cuz they need that energy to fuel their substance... - A
Wot u mean? - R
Suckin' out ur energy feeds them, gives them form, lets them shift from Ghost to corporal bodies, it allows them to live again. N they r some p.o.'d mithers let me tell u. Not usually the happiest of beings b4 they skewered themselves on the Hedge, the poison n the half life sets them off worse, aye? They wants their pound a flesh from the Worlds n ur wots gonna get it fir dem. Mind, they have to b close to collect from u but that don't stop them from stirring the pot from wherever n making it build.
When u love hard n fear the loss its prime energy for them. U'll find ur fear grows n grows till the love is so painful u can barely stand it n all u can think about is wots gonna happen when u lose it. It all gets out of balance, the love n the fear. N the whole drama of it cranks them up n they drain off wot ever u've got leaving u hurting n wanting n lost n more afraid than ever that ur losing ur love. If u don't c it they dig in n drive u to perpetuate the cycle. Places n things have their own hold but when its a person whose ur focus, ur love, then ur screwed cuz ur unbalanced behavior as ur fear increases pushes ur loved one away and u make true the thing u fear most. - A
Best not to love then. I think Ogre has the right of it. - R
Ha!! U think he don't love? Lol... He's a prime example of wot love looks like when it gets twisted. U can wall it all up n deny it as much as u like, but the Lord a Sanctuary made us with a need n a capacity to love. If ur fear won't let u accept that n u bury love then it eeks out in unhealthy ways, twisted by ur corrupt thinking. Finding the balance is key, n thats hard at the best of times nvrmind when u gots a Ghost ridin' ur ass.
U got ur work cut out fer u Short Stuff. No question.
Huh.
There's power in ur Blood, wee'un. N u were targeted for that. We shoulda known n been on the ball n we dropped it. Ur ours to protect, aye, n we blew it. Sorry's for that, eh? More n u could ever know. But there's more at play than u n I, aiiight? Sanctuary flows on its own time n we jist gotta roll with it. Those same blood lines dem Walkers wanna feed on r wots gonna help in ur battle. - A
Ogre said I had Fae in me. N that my peeps didn't want me n nither does he?! Y wouldn't my own want me Arrow? Wots so wrong with me?! Everyone loves the Fae, eh? - R
Oh. Boy. Gonna wring his bloody neck, me.
K. Here's the thing. Ur story is centuries in the making n it ain't gonna get told in one sitting, aiiight? U gonna have to trust me on this. Its bigger than ur wee shoulders can carry at this stage n like any growing thing u'll learn one mouthful at a time soos u don't choke on the whole a it. K?! Is nuff fer now to know u got peeps who love u, n that u were and r wanted more than anything to somes. Thats as much as any if us can hope for, aye? N the rest u jist deal with as it comes. - A
