Here (Dhalia, Mi Sun)

"Oh hey," Mi Sun says, "I haven't seen you around, are you new here?"

Dhalia smiles and nods. "Yes, Ren made me. It is nice here! And everyone is so friendly."

"Wait," Mi Sun says, blinking a couple times, "Ren made you? Not like, from off the Island or from the Fae Realm? Made-made?"

"That is true." Dhalia nods. "Things are starting to come together who I am and everything, I have a past...maybe 10...100...1000 years ago - or from now - I was somebody, or maybe a couple people through time. It is all coming together, and I am so beautiful! I love being a model by the way. It is nice meeting you, um, miss, maybe we can be friends!"

"Mi Sun," Mi Sun says. "You stay here. Jenni, no more pics for a while, just keep an eye on her. I need to go talk to Ren."

I really didn't know what to think. I mean, okay. Ren was creating life? Pulling people in from past lives that wanted to be here? Wow. My head was spinning.

Later, he told me that Dhalia is 100% his creation. Can't find (or buy) her anywhere, original shape, face, and skin. And like the Phoenix (red or blue, take your pick), he pulled her in from somewhere back in the past (or the future) as a person who wanted to be with us and have fun.

That somewhere though. I asked him specifically where. He told me this was a darker place than we are normally used to, and she isn't a normal fae. She is a boggle, a member of the Unseelie Court, and serves the Dark Fae Queen. Boggles desire dark fantasies, fear, and confusion. It brings them joy and happiness, much like how the Hellfairy Ember has a dark side.

I asked our Queen about her. She said not to fear. There is no war between fae...dark balances light...but the Dark Fae, and their Queen, have not been seen on this world ever since we all went to sleep thousands of years ago.

We thought they were dead.
