The Faery Sight

It is said that Faery time and human time are two different things. A human can slip into the world of the Fae and spend many years there, accomplish many things and have several adventures and then slip back into the human dimension to find that they have only been gone for a few hours.

Such was the case for my friend Strativarious. He tells me often about the Faery World and how he wanted to get back home for so long. There was a Faery Wife, who never aged a bit, eventho many years passed. He loved her very much, due to the Faery Sight and being lonely and all. Humans were never meant to live in Faeryland.

The Faeries would never accept the fact that the humans were not to be socialized with. They only bring trouble and pain to their world. Too tempting it was to mesmerize a man into thinking he is in love with a faery woman. Simple and fun.

Strat disappeared one day for about 4 hours, when he returned he swore he had been Faerynapped. All his chores lay undone and he looked as tho he had aged some. We thought it was just an excuse for drinking.

There was a beautiful faery girl who fell in love with him and took him into her faery house to live as her husband. He was drunk with love and blinded with happiness. He had forgotten all about the real world. He worked in a daze year fter year to keep the fire place going and the garden tilled, all for his lovely faery wife.

He said he has missed her since coming back here. I suppose he looks for her in the meadow on certain days. He should know, that when a human ages, even by just a day or two, the Fae will do away with you. I suppose he will never see his Faery Wife again.
