Whispers to the Dark XXV

by Raphael

My Queen,
Whilst you were visiting me it appears you weren’t the only Exarch present, for Enessa was approached by one Sariel Oakenheel, a being associated with the Wildmother and who has brought Enessa’s beast Ussi back from the beyond. Enessa in turn apparently offered anything in return, but I am unsure, as is she, what the true terms were.

We located the Lady Vex’ahlia, and she told us of the events that had led to her being now alone in the parchwood. Her hunting party had vanished during a fight with these savagers that they had set out to hunt. Once we returned to the area, our wizard identified a ‘planar rift’ that appears to be the cause of the disappearance, and as I am sure you knew, was a path to the Feywild.

Upon arriving here I fear that we have become entangled in the wishes of an Archfey who calls himself the Lord of the Hunt. The hunters that had gone missing it seems had been taken by him and were given a choice that is no real choice at all. A choice that has been now offered to us.

I have hidden my relationship to you as instructed, but the advice to not enter any agreements appears somewhat unavoidable when dealing with this fey. He is one-minded in his approach to intruders in this plane and has declared we either join the hunt or become prey. I tried to heed your warnings with this individual but the protection of guest-right only took us to a point. His first offer was that if we hunted a Fomorian by the name of Cachalain and returned victorious in twenty-four hours we would leave with the other hunters, but if we failed, we would join his hunt. Instead we countered that we would not serve if we failed, but would prefer to simply be marked as prey, and then likely die, but die free…

I know that your wish is for your knight to be independent of your protection, but I will ask for any assistance so that we may succeed in our task, this Lord as you will know is strong beyond our power and should we fail in our task, then being hunted will likely be a short affair.
