STATS
Name: Fei
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Class: Archer/Rogue Description:
Fei is sturdily built for an elf with muscled arms and legs from running
around in the forest, hunting and training. She has long black hair she
usually keeps tied up, pointed ears, brown eyes and a wide nose that is
uncommon among elves. Some say there are some other races mixed in her
line and it appears that is true, however it's unclear what these lines
are. Should she hide her ears she can pass as human.
Personality: Fei has an outspoken temperament. She blurts out
whatever she is feeling. She likes to be among people but doesn't mind the
solitude of hunting in the forest, as long as she can return home
regularly. Since she is different from the more traditional-minded
purebred elves, she also enjoys going out and meeting people from other
species.
Skills: Hunting, running, forest survival.
Enjoys: Being among people, laughing and playing games.
Dislikes: Protocol and hierarchy.
Pet: Sunset Faerie Dragon Linli (m) from Treval

Fei looked carefully at the sky. She'd been told to go hunt the sunset but
something strange was happening. The sunset was travelling south for one
thing. Fei knew she was in some sort of spell or mind warp but did not
know who or what was bespelling her. And then came her dilemma. Should she
hunt the sunset where it was supposed to be? Or where it appeared to be?
Or where it shouldn't be? Maybe that was an option too.
"Sunset, won't you come stay with me?" she chanted.
Fei had never been one to quietly wait for things to go her way. And
no-one had said she couldn't try a bit of spellcasting of her own.
However, whatever was playing with her mind and senses didn't react to the
spell she'd cast. It had been a flimsy thing at best. No matter, she had
time. After all the sunset returned at the end of each day so she felt
confident that she would get to the end of this riddle eventually.
Getting an eight-sided die out of her pocket, Fei rolled for a clue. The
die bounced a few times and then showed her a three. East it was for
today. It felt a bit silly to go hunt for the sunset in the east but when
you thought about it, the east was the origin of the sun's path so it
wasn't so foolish. Maybe she would meet the dreaded thing if she went back
far enough.
"Sunset, won't you come and join me?" she continued her little
chant.
Maybe it was her imagination but some of the air seemed to shimmer. But
when she looked at the place she'd seen the movement, nothing was there.
Shrugging, Fei turned due east and started walking away from the beautiful
reds, oranges and yellows that coloured the sky to the west and the
south.
Immediately the air in the direction she was headed started to shimmer
with various colours in the warm spectrum. Pinks and purples seemed to be
more dominant here. In the distance she spied glowing lights that looked
like a dozen suns were all headed in different directions. Fei waited,
mesmerised by the beauty of the sight.
"Sunset, pretty sunset, won't you come and play with me?" she
whispered awestruck.
Three times a charm they say and maybe the three chants had strengthened
the effect of her spell. Or maybe she'd just found the right words.
Suddenlt a beautiful butterfly-winged, feather-adorned dragon the size of
a cat materialised in the air in front of her.
"Well hello sunset, what is your name?" Fei asked.
The creature chirped and grabbed hold of her hair, tugging her so that she
followed him to where the lights were still playing in the sky. And there
the faerie dragon danced and chased and generally showed off. Though he'd
had fun pranking all kinds of creatures with his magic over the years,
he'd grown weary of remaining alone.
Finally the faerie dragon revealed his name.
"Nice to meet you, Linli." Fei said, "You want to take me
somewhere?"
Before she could guess further she was bombarded with a
series of images. Some places she knew, others were foreign but they were
all coloured in the sunset hues that Linli could so strikingly display.
"You want to chase sunsets?" Fei asked.
A happy chirp seemed to approved of the plan.

Following the sunsets, Fei and Linli had ventured into a
colder climate. The sunsets turned softer in hue, whites, blues and greys
tinging them to look more fragile than bright. But the colours remained
beautiful. And whenever it suited him, Linli tweaked the colours to be
brighter anyway.
But a couple of days later, the colours behaved differently. Stars were
out well before they should have been visible and no matter what Linli
did, the sunset remained it's cool pastel wintry painting of the horizon.
"I think someone is countering your magic." Fei said.
A frustrated Linli let out an angry squeak and flew off, in search of the
offender.
Fei was only barely able to keep up. Luckily the cold air prevented the
faerie dragon's maximum speed. As the advanced, more lights appeared
around them. They glowed a warm golden yellow, then intensified to an
almost fluorescent green before fading back to the warmer ambiance. The
lights also moved, or appeared to move anyway. Fei couldn't say how she
knew but she intuitively felt that the lights pulsed on and off.
A brighter light appeared at the edge of the trees and Fei curiously went
to explore.
She was greeted by two bright golden eyes, a long snout and gnarled horns
that looked as if they had been wrought from ancient wood. Fur and
feathers, crystals and translucent sails adorned the dragon as it waited
stately in the clearing.
Linli chriped angrily.
The dragon turned her head toward the much smaller faerie dragon and
responded:
"I did not mess up your magic. I only used my own as I've been doing here
for many days."
"Are you the one who made the lights glow?" Fei asked, "They're very
pretty."
"I am and thank you." the dragon responded, seemingly pleased.
Linli seemed a bit sulky but
soon found a cosy spot on the dragon's mane in which to nest.
"It seems he has forgiven you." Fei smiled, "It's best to be grateful."
"My kind is all about hope and forgiveness. And Light." Hjaltine
responded.
She had introduced herself and had shown the fae and her pet to her home,
a secluded hollow carved in a hill that was lodged between trees on one
side and rock on the other. The resulting cavern-like dwelling was sturdy
and spacious and adorned with Hjaltine's magic lights.
"You're welcome to stay for as long as you want."
Fei looked at Linli and warned: "That might be forever, be careful what
you offer."
"The offer was given with that possibility in mind, fear not."
"Then we'll gladly comply." Fei nodded.
The elf could see herself living here, surrounded by woods and earth,
watching beautiful sunsets and twinkling lights for many years to come.
