Woe Is Me ~ by SaralynArati

dark in a creepy, counterintuitive way. if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. she just showed up out of no where, she has unusual coloring, meaning she's probably an outsider (neither is bad in itself, but she probably needs to be looked at more closely than usual.) and then thee's that effect she has on the men, and the unusually strong attraction. men are attracted to women, sometimes strongly, but slavishly??? not good!

"If I may ask," begins Springing Doe, "what crime has Woe committed, since it seems to me that to warrant a bounty hunter coming after her, it would have to be an offense against magic-folk and not simply involving a few humans?" "Correct," says Ifrit. "What she does endangers all of us, and that is enough, but she steals relics from anyone, mortal or not, and will kill to possess the objects she wants. The wand, if she manages to obtain it, will be her biggest, riskiest accomplishment yet."

"Alone, yes I could destroy it, probably, but it would require that I rest for a long period of time and you would be unhappy, as it would wreck the city above as well. Perhaps if enough of us were willing to work together... I can always ask." Ifrit shrugs. "This is why I am only a bounty hunter. The amount of energy necessary for one fey to fight and kill another faerie is... unpleasant for all concerned, even those caught on the periphery." "I see," says the shaman, yet still thinking.

"Like my father's mountain in the East? Like the cave he found so powerful, and where the wand was originally hidden?" Summer Wind guesses shrewdly. Ifrit does not bother to pretend not to know which mountain cave. "Yes, like that. We did not manufacture the wand, because we would have no use for it, but lore tells me that we were conscious of its immense force, and secluded it there, away from human flaws and temptations." Smoke Cat Watching queries the blue woman, "Can you destroy it?"

The djinn does not blush because she both cannot, and is far too old to be embarrassed anyway, but Ifrit softens her expression a fraction. "No, hatreds and blood feuds were a way of life for most of my kindred long before humans became so commonplace. That is one reason that our populations have diminished; it is not all due to the fact that we... magic folk and mortals... are not able to share the same space, and your sheer numbers have driven us from lands that were once ours uncontested."

"What I was aware of, like steam rising from a boiling kettle, was a sense of coldness," says Springing Doe. "I suppose here, where we are not exactly in the desert, but not far away from one, that could be interpreted as refreshing rather than repellent." Ifrit smiles grimly. "And all of this, while using some of her power to suppress her tail." "Is that why she hates us so much? Because we make such fools of ourselves over her?" asks Kanu, still unable to process Woe's need for genocide.
