His name was Lysander, born to Queen Rosalya and King Leigh. The birth of the beautiful boy was celebrated by the entire kingdom. His parents held a party and invited all the other kingdom and even the neighboring fae. Each guest presented a gift for the child, and the fae gave him the best gift. Fae were fairies with all different kinds of elemental magic and were about the size of humans. Pointed ears and colorful hair and eyes were the only features that give them away. Each council member of fae presented a gift of magic to the boy. They gave him a beautiful voice, enchanting eyes, they made his hair perfect even when messy, he'd be fit without much effort, animals would love him, he'd have a profound amount of wisdom, and find creativity from the world around him./em/p

And this fae was not happy to learn she hadn't been told. She'd been left out too many times and this was the last straw. Admittedly she was known for not keeping secrets, creating wild tales just for the gossip, she was young and childish, and known for not thinking about the horrible consequences. Her entrance was dramatic as no expected her to find out until after the party. Her body radiated, her platinum blond locks were iridescent in the light of the sun cascading through the stained glass. Her blue eyes silenced any noise in the room./em/p
