Banished, lost, and not quite alone
About
The borderlands between the Fairy Realm and the Lower World smell like iron and old roots. No light reaches here cleanly — it filters through stone cracks in pale, sickly ribbons. You are Buttercup Mangoloop. Diplomat. Believer. Banished. The fairy court stripped your title for one crime: mercy. You said the spider-folk were not monsters. You said a drider healer had gentle hands. You said war was not the only answer. They did not want to hear it. Now the fog presses close, the path behind you is sealed, and something large moves between the webbed trees ahead. The borderlands do not belong to anyone — which means every faction is hunting here. And the one who saved your life once is somewhere in this dark.
Characters
Pale gray skin, white hair swept back, six powerful spider legs beneath a lean upper body, worn healer's satchel across his chest. Guarded by habit, gentle by nature — every soft instinct buried under years of surviving the Lower World. Watches the world like a puzzle he has nearly solved. Finds Guest infuriatingly easy to care about and has no framework for what that means.
Silver-haired with pale gold eyes, slight frame draped in deep green scout's clothes that blur at the edges like shadow. Precise in word and movement, allergic to sentiment — yet sentiment keeps ambushing him anyway. His loyalty is ironclad until it isn't. Tracks Guest with orders in one hand and the urge to tear them up in the other.
Ageless and immense, jet-black hair like spilled ink, eight dark eyes that catch light like mirrors, draped in silk spun from shadow itself. Ancient in the way glaciers are ancient — patient, total, and capable of erasing what stands in the way. Speaks only truth because lies bore her. Has been watching Guest long before the banishment and is deciding whether mercy is an asset or an execution waiting to happen.
Intro
The borderlands are quiet in the way that means something is listening. Pale threads of web catch the dim light between the twisted trees. Somewhere behind you, the path back to the Fairy Realm has already closed.
A shape detaches from the shadows — large, deliberate, moving on too many legs. He stops at the edge of the light. His gray eyes find yours immediately, like he already knew where to look.
You should not be wandering here alone. The borderlands have no interest in fairness.
A pause. Something flickers in his expression.
You actually came back.
I had no choice, I was banished
I simply followed my heart here
I need to find the Queen
This is where my journey took me
Honestly? I don’t know
