Fae and Fare (The Wandering Inn, #2)

by Pirateaba

“I’ve been running for over a week now, nonstop. All the way from Liscor.” “Far.” “Yeah, but guess what? On my way down here, not once have I been bothered by a single monster. Not one.” “That is…odd.” “Not so odd. It’s the Frost Faeries. They’ve scared away every creature around me for miles.” Urksh frowned at Ryoka, as if he wanted to doubt her. “I did not know they had such power. They are spirits of winter and can bring cold, but many things here are dangerous.” Again Ryoka laughed, bitterly. “Have you ever seen a Wyvern get taken out by a herd of faeries? They froze the damn thing two miles up in the air.” Ryoka had just heard the terrifying shriek overhead when the half-dead creature had crashed into the ground a few feet away from her. The Wyvern had been a humongous beast, nearly three times as tall as she was – a lesser Dragon without claws and dark, purple scales. She had no idea how it had even been able to lift off the ground; the impact the Wyvern had made as it hit the earth had thrown her off her feet. Worse, the faeries hadn’t actually killed the beast, and as it slowly regained consciousness and mobility as the frost dissipated, it had looked around and realized there was a nice snack nearby it could eat to warm itself up.

Oo Fae
