While her pale complexion and colorless hair would always draw people's gaze, it was nothing remarkabke compared to the many varieties of colorful wings the fae sported, nor did she tower over the crowd or struggle to fit into furniture built for far slighter bodies. For maybe the first time in her life, Maea felt perfectly ordinary; and she liked that feeling very much.

Not sure what, yet, or why... but I haven't felt this peaceful in years." Turning soft lavender eyes upon the young queen, quietly considering. "Perhaps I can be of use to more than just one region from here, besides."
