Tailyanker's Origons



It happened one day that Tailyanker told Red of her true self. She dropped the illusion of a were-bunny and appeared to him as a tall, white haired, purpled eyed woman with wings of shimmering lilac. She smiled at his gasp of surprise as an etheric mist surrounded her. She called to them a woman she had adopted as her mother, sR_Salacia. Salacia told Red of a land far to the north where no humans walked. Here the many clans of the Fae lived in peace for thousands upon thousands of years. Infact, even the oldest of the old could not remember a time when peace did not reign in the Land of Mists.

"One day a great tragedy came to the land. A prince, angered that his sister, the true ruler of the land, had dared to leave the land and mate with a human, drove her from the castle making threats on her life and that of her unborn child. She ran herself into labor and died as her daughter came into the world. The land itself was angered and greived over this pain. The child, named Crowe by her dying mother, was raised by her aunt, The StormSyren. StormSyren was never the same after the death of her sister. Many said she had gone mad with anger built up from jealously of her sister, then the grief that only one who loves unselfishly can feel when they suffer loss.

Storm and Crowe were ordered to a far end of the land, far from the comforts of castle life. Here little Crowe grew to be a lovely young lady and Storm grew to struggle with her magickal powers of weather control. One day an argument, over what no one truely knows, erupted and Storm and her her brother battled with magick. When the battle was over the land was wounded and stained with the blood of many. Surit lay dead, Storm driven into the madness fled the land and wandered for many years. She left Crowe behind, not meaning to, but lost in the haze of madness was unable to remember her. Crowe found herslelf wandering as all the fae of the land did after it's destruction. In time both she and Syren found each other in the Land of Tyrans Cove. Syren died in Tyrans and Crowe left. Where she went or why I dont know." Salacia looked at Taily, suddenly aware that she carried the features of the aunt and neice. "I know that Tailyanker is not her birth name Red, but she hides from the enemy who killed Syren, and must live as a were bunny for safety. Someday her true name will be spoken and the Land of Mists will be healed. Someday she will find the knight, born in the Land yet not of it, who will help her heal it; and by doing so, bring the magick back." Tailyanker smiled at Salacia. "Tis true I am related to Crowe and Syren. I am the daughter of Crowe. By whom I know not." Even Salacia was caught off guard with this revalation. But Taily took the appearance of a were-bunny once more and would speak of her past no more. Red pledged he would protect Taily from all harm. Thus Taily began a new life in Tyrans, awaiting the day when her destiny would find her.



The Grandmother looked into the awed faces of the fae children at her feet and smiled. "And so that chapter in the life of Tailyanker ends, but not the story. No children the story has many more chapters, but it is late and time for children to be in bed!" With that the Grandmother started to shush the children towards bed, when one blue -eyed little girl asked. "Where is Tailyanker now, Grammy? Wif the stars?" The Grandmother shook her head smiling, her purple eyes twinkling. "No Child, Tailyanker is still around, though you never know when or where she may be. The magickal Land of Mists thrives, she could never leave such a place filled with adventures! Now off to bed!"
