“I’m sorry, I don’t know either. Maybe it’s some kind of sign. I wish I could help, Fae. I really am sorry I’m not much of a use.”

"It doesn't matter," Fae said, sitting up. "As long as I don't go back there, I'm safe."

Farron looked up at her with a small frown but nodded, twisting a kernel of darkness round his fingertips, “That is true.”

Fae fell face down on her pillow. "Why did I have to be the 'special one'?" Fae asked, voice muffled.

Farron chuckled and created a small, baby dragon that nuzzled into Fae’s neck, “I don’t know. But if you weren’t we wouldn’t have met.”

Fae giggled. "Yeah, I suppose. But my life's been crap because of it. At least I don't have Navaeah's power."

(na-VAY-ah)

“That is true. But hey, you’ve got me now, even if I’m just a boring human.” Farron grinned charmingly at her.

Fae's ears fluttered and she sat up again. "Hey. You might be a human, but you're not boring."

“Oh no, I’m definetly boring.” Farron protested, rubbing at his face.

"You are not," Fae said.

“Yes I am.” Farron protested, rolling off the bed and picking up a shirt to hide the scars on his body.

"No you're not!" Fae giggled, jumping on him.

Farron made an ‘oof’ sound and dropped his shirt, “Fae!” He laughed a little.

Fae's ears perked up. "Someone's coming. And they're singing…..an Athenian lullaby?!"

“What the…” Farron put Fae down and moved towards the door slowly, “How far away?”

"I….I can't tell," Fae replied. She started to repeat the lullaby. "Bidh an talamh a 'gluasad an èadhair, agus bidh a' ghaoth a 'biathadh an teine. Tha draoidheachd an seo, ma tha thu ag iarraidh creidsinn. Sàil a-mach gu muir air cuan dìomhaireachd, agus thoir do chridhe gu na feadhainn a choinnicheas tu."

(It's not an accurate translation. It's in Scottish Gaelic. The real song is:
Earth moves the air, and the wind feeds the fire. Magic is here, if you dare to believe. Sail out to sea on an ocean of mystery, and bring your heart to the ones that you meet.)

Farron nodded slowly, “I barely understand any of that but okay…” He took a breath before winnowing outside and into a shadow behind the house.

Very few elves live in Volta. Who in the five realms could it be? Fae thought. She had a dawning realisation. "Farron!" She hiss-yelled. "Get back here!"

Farron could barely hear her from where he was. He sighed a little and ignored her, creeping around the house to see if anyone was there and from what he could see, there was no one. He frowned deeply, shadows flickering at his fingertips.

"Tha mi a 'tighinn air do shon Faelynn bheag," The singer said.
"Cò th 'annad?" Fae asked.
"An Dotair."

("I'm coming for you little Faelynn."
"Who are you?"
"The Doctor.")

Farron clenched his fists together and he winnowed back inside the house, stumbling a little. He forgot how draining it was and he’d been doing it this morning, “Nothing…” He mumbled, “There was nothing…”

Farron came back to someone cornering Fae. The man was wearing an Athenian doctor's uniform, and a dark aura was around him. Fae looked at Farron with fearful eyes.

"Get away from her!" Farron growled, taking a few steps towards the man. Something was off about him, even his darkness seemed to retract in fear from him.

Fae's initial reaction of fear was over. She set her hands on fire and placed her burning hands on The Doctor's face. He screamed in agony as she ran behind Farron. "That's…. The Doctor."

Farron placed an arm to the side to block Fae more, "That's the Doctor? Okay then, we need to get out of here."
