Once upon a time, there was a True Fae who loved a Fianna werewolf named
Glory-In-Moonlight. His relatives, however, did not consider her worthy
of mingling her
blood with their warrior kind, so she challenged their oldest most
experienced warrior to a
trial by combat. When she laid her flaming blade Camhanach against his
throat, he acceded
her worthiness to be mate to one of the tribe, which had watched them
duel. (And before
anyone picks on her for using a magic sword against a creature taller
than she is and at least
two and a half times as massive, armed with sharp claws, fangs, and
supernatural strength
and speed, she didn't start with it. She summoned it about half a minute
into the fight.) This
is Fionn's ('The Last Laugh') first life, before she was quite a
Pooka; a falcon-born
shapechanging faerie known as Icewhisper, or Dame Whisper of the Ice
Heart ap Eiluned.
- From Silvy, on 10 October 1999: Niiiiice wolfy....no biting, tho...bad
dog!
- From Jessie Clark (artist) on 28 October 1999: Her face is a little
odd, like she needs more neck. I like the wolf
though. And the story. I don't
think it matters if she's armed if he's that
much bigger and meaner!
Artist's note.... I wouldn't say anyone was meander than Whisper. Though
she wasn't mean. She was amoral, calculating, and occasionally vicious,
but she never killed needlessly....
