An actual journal entry, for once. :'D
I've gotten an idea for a new way to use my faeries- two of those who were in Murchadh's story.
I'm plotting.
It might be fun. A wandering sorcerer/apothecary-type who's got faeries to help him with potions and spells of various sorts (one for love, one for healing, one for luck).
I don't have much on the sorcerer yet, save his name- Eanna mac Niadh. I have all the faeries worked out, though.
He renamed them with human names, but their real names are the ones on the right, which are the names they're given at home in Faerie and are the names of herbs that suit their purposes.
Micah / Saffron : healing of mind, body and spirit. White haired, white winged, blue eyed, youthful looking. Sweet and clingy. Makes friends forever. Loud, buoyant, innocent. Seelie.
Aodh / Elder : inspiration- all arts. Tan skin, red wings, grey eyes, whatever hair he feels like on a given day. Rowdy, hedonistic. He can make friends in the strangest of places, but never really sticks with them. Solitary.
Lir / Wormwood : revenge and protection. Pale skin, pale blonde hair, pale blue eyes, pale blue wings. Cold, mistrusting. Enjoys watching his enemies suffer, but has no real preference as to those who aren't on his black list. Unseelie.
Esme / Sage : prosperity, luck and happiness. Coppery red hair, light yellow wings, blue eyes. A good Samaritan, but he's still a bit on the tricky side. He is to be trusted sparingly. Seelie.
Ciaran / Patchouli : attraction, lust, fertility. Brown hair, green wings, hazel eyes, lightly tanned skin. Deceptively sweet, never to be trusted. Only kind to those who will benefit him. Unseelie.
Flaithri / Rose : (the only one acquired during the course of the story) love, devotion, faithfulness, truth. Highly unwilling to be a part of Eanna's mad schemes, but kind, if often plaintive. Seelie.
Brogan / Thyme : divination. Not used for potions / spells so much as in reading the future (when Eanna uses crystal balls, etc). Lives with Eanna (is the only one; others are just summoned when needed). Black hair, black wings, white eyes. Gentle, quiet, often smiling but tends not to speak. Likes to people watch. No one has any clue what court he's in.
