Summary
A mother makes a mistake of dealing with a Fae. A post is made on behalf of Wira Łynar To 'free her daughter at any cost'. Words not wasted on ears, fae waiting with baited breath, for the collection of yet another plaything for their unseen schemes. The runners head through the veil of night to Saltspring island only to find that their mission was perhaps not as what it seemed. A chance encounter with Lord Lirael Rehr leads to the runners realizing they had been tricked, the entire time.
Background
A cold wind blows along active pass. Ash falls from the barrel of a gun. The forest creaks with weeping pines. Footsteps of a wolf and a fox, side by side. The two play happily, a mother and daughter. Through hollowed logs and hallowed boughs they hunt, seek, and learn. But all is not well, the forest they live in under threat, always. So, mother Wira Łynar, teachers her pup to scout and hide, and flee.
But from regular forest life, the pup of hers is safe. Yet, there are threats. Ithe, Hrududu, Elil. Many out there would seek them for pelt and paw, and one night, that is what happened. Iron, cage, locks. Steel of the Ithe, of Man.
So Wira fights, as much as she can, but by herself she is no fighter. She is a tender to the gardens, and a peacekeeper of the woods. So to fight the ones who carried steel, who shot their guns with their black powder and noise. She could not do it alone.
"Please, I'll give anything for you to free my daughter." The mother spoke, yearning for her daughters safe return.
"Anything?" A voice replied.
The Meet
The meet was uncanny. Usually, you meet your Johnson first. Yet, the post for the job came only with coordinates. Talking with a spirit, Anansi contracted them to divine the evening...
- Pink haired man who awaits on his throne.
- Many knights and steeds by his side.
- Someone will trick you... others are to be saved.
- If you aren't careful, that which is set in stone will be set in stone.
- What weighs heavier is not the 1000 feathers, but the weight of golden eyes.
And the image of a boat, came to mind. The coordinates led to a dock, which led to a captain, which led to the bargaining of passage to the SSC islands up north. The Ships Capain, Cpt. Lem Springthunder offers passage one way, or a return trip if they can finish their job in less than 7 hours. So, Anansi and Rurosha relax with song and dance with the crew.
