I've never wrote fanfiction before, so forgive me if this is terrible. I'm not sure where I'm starting this story, all I know is I'm adding a new twist to Lost Girl somewhere in its current, or possibly future stage of the show. I am however making an unknown character the lead, but leaving Bo, Tamsin, Kenzie, and Dyson in the center. It may seem slow to start, and completely abstract, but I promise things will unfold sooner than later.
The young wolf watched as the human and three fae entered the forest, they'd been coming and going for days seemingly searching for something or someone. They might have found it by now if there wasn't a spell cast to send unwanted visitors in circles and back out of the woods. Now that they've got closer to the curious wolf something about them all seems familiar so the wolf pup decided to let them through the first barrier she set to keep all others out. As they made their way further into the thick of the woods Dyson realized where they were venturing into.
"Kenzie stay close to me or Tamsin at all times, I thought it was just a fae legend and rare human folklore, but I'm pretty sure we just entered the Madigan woods." Dyson's words came out slightly on edge, questioning all the tales he'd heard about those who've wandered into the woods. He's only heard a few stories out of a hundreds where someone actually made it out alive.
"Careful Dyson, I think I can see your tail getting stuck between legs." Tamsin scoffed fearful of nothing as usual; unable to recollect that she was one of three to ever make it out of the woods alive and unscathed. Dyson never questioned it back then but nearly 1800 years later he now wished he knew why, and what Trick blocked from Tamsin's memories when he was sent to retrieve the Blood Kings Valkyrie. Whatever it could have been, he had a burning feeling inside of him that it would help them to know what to expect next.
"Um… hey, earth to the big bad wolf, what is with you D? The last time I saw you this on edge is when Bo showed up with Rainer at the Dal." Kenzie still couldn't believe Bo just rained in on everyone's parade like that; the even more unbelievable thing was that there may be something in these woods that may help them with this Rainer situation. Trick failed to mention how or what it might be, and Kenzie knew he was hiding something big when he sent them on this blind mission.
Dyson reluctantly decided to tell them both what he knew. "There are legends in every part of the world of the Madigan woods. Stories tell of the woods being everywhere and nowhere all at once, some say the woods move with its keeper, and others say the keeper plagues part of every woodland where it travels. Human folklore says they're shape shifters in the woods, black magic, cursed plants that like to eat human souls, and that when you're near Madigan woods you can hear screaming echoes of the dead. Fae legend is very similar, but the unlike humans fae know that such things exist, and that they're simply their own kind. Only one fae has ever made it deep into the woods and returned, and that alone is enough to keep all other fae away. There is no light and no dark within the woods, only the keeper which only that one fae has ever seen. It was said a human child made it back out and was led by a wolf pup, and the last case of someone making it out alive was a human hunter, led by the same wolf pup. There was a 500 year difference between the two humans who escaped, but the descriptions of the wolf that saved them were identical. The humans believe the wolf is the guardian of the forest, and the fae believe the wolf is the forest Keepers right hand; his servant and only companion. The fae who made it out said she saw both the wolf and the keeper, she claimed them to be the same. She claimed the woods to be a place of beauty and wonder, the ruler of the fae at the time thought she was mad for her claim, and banished all memories of the place from her mind. I served the king, he ordered me to find her, his lost servant, and I made it about this far into the woods searching for her before she appeared in front of me."
"Sounds like another Baba Yaga to me, I am so ready to go home and not deal with her again." Kenzie sounded more alarmed now than before. "So why did the king send you, did he think you and the little wolf would hit it off?"
"You know I usually wouldn't care, but considering I'm older than you, and I've never heard this story before what happened to the fae girl? Is she still even alive, or was she just a bat shit crazy bitch from the start?" Tamsin actually sounded interested for once, and slightly offended she didn't know it all for once.
"Whoa D, before you answer I need to know what kind of fae we were talking about too. So you know, I have an idea of what kind of force we're going to need to get out of this alive." Leave it to Kenzie to ask what you know Tamsin wanted to but didn't.
Dyson let out a heavy sigh before reluctantly answering what he could without giving away too much of the truth. "I only know that the king sent me because he believed something in the forest held a connection with me, for all I know, and from all he let on, he could have sent me purely because of the tales of the young wolf. The fae that made it out is still alive, and she was a Valkyrie, and claimed to be in love. That's all I know." Dyson stumbled at the end knowing he shouldn't have said that last part.
"What? Excuse me did you just say a Valkyrie in love? Valkyrie's don't do love, warriors don't have the time for that, and they definitely don't have the gall to admit it if it's true." Tamsin couldn't believe one of her own would have the stupidity to throw her weakness out in the open like that. Love for Valkyries is one of the rarest things known to all fae.
"I knew you guys had a soft side, there's hope for you yet!" Kenzie said gleaming and relieved. "The even better news is that we have a Valkyrie now and we are going to get through this no problem."
Dyson couldn't help but laugh at the both of them; even if he was feeling heavy with the fragments of truth he had to leave out. He hoped Trick knew what he was doing sending them here and her considering whoever it was in these woods would know her, and she wouldn't remember a thing. Just as quick as the thought came it ended when he heard something crashing towards them from the thick of the woods. "Something's coming, get ready." He said as he started to release his inner wolf.
Almost immediately after he let out the words they were surrounded by a pack of under fae. Tamsin and Dyson fought off as many as they could, but one got past them and headed for Kenzie. Kenzie took off running not knowing what else to do, and before she knew it there were to more under fae in front of her, and the one behind her was closing in. Kenzie froze whispering curses and prayers in Russian, and let out a scream just as one of them grabbed her arm. Tamsin and Dyson caught up to her but not in time, they already had her. They froze not knowing what to do as the fae lifted its arm ready to pull her jugular out of her throat, and then it stopped. The fae dropped to the forest flood with its throat mangled, it happened so quickly that they didn't even see what just happened. They heard a bloodcurdling cry and saw that there was only one under fae left standing. Then they saw it, a young wolf barely fully grown black as the shadows with piercing dark but bright green eyes tearing the last fae to shreds.
Dyson and Tamsin shared a look, and started to rush to Kenzie's side. Kenzie was standing there in shock starting where the last fae stood, her jaw nearly to the floor. Tamsin made it to her first, and as Dyson was within feat of her the wolf closed the gap between them. The wolf stood in front of the two girls and let out a harrowing growl in Dyson's direction. Dyson started to let his wolf out until he noticed the little wolf was trying to hop on Kenzie, and rubbing on both the girls' legs like a puppy, letting out sounds of joy, no longer paying attention him.
"You guys I think I know this wolf. I think it's saved me before not too long before I met Bo." Kenzie sounded shocked but sure of herself, and as she started to ask her next question the wolf laid at her feet. "There's no way this is the wolf from the legends is it?" Within that question the wolf started to transform.
