I just realized that to be one of the fae, you have to have an oddly specific weakness
And mine are horses. I will stay well clear if you have or are a horse. Consider yourself safe from mischief... FOR NOW
Naturally I am not on good terms with kelpies
"But Elfi," you ask, "why are you giving your secrets away?"
And all I will have to answer is, "because insomnia led me to think it was a good idea at the time."
Also it's just horses, ponies, and I guess mules. Donkeys I am ambivalent on. A cow, goat, sheep, etc. will attract my love and care, and a gift of one will earn you reprieve for my adoration, which tbh is a smarter move than incurring my ire
Ofc I will still leave them with you because goats have a bad tendency to try and eat my mushroom cottage. But I'll help take care of them!
But do not EVER sell or slaughter the gifted animal. Do not.
If times are dire and you resist the urge, I will come to your aid as a fellow caretaker
But the scorn of a fae burned is what turns the liminal sunset into the blackest night
Unrelated to all this, I remain easily distracted by lämp, so leave one lit if you just aren't in the mood for my mischief
A good way to get me to leave and never return is to gift me a horse
I mean on one hand I'm thoroughly banished from the area
On the other you now have to take care of that horse yourself. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?
