CHAPTER 30
One by one the noble men and women were introduced to me by my guide. For want of anything better; I bowed my head at each name. I knew of most, but not all, and my nerves were beginning to show.
The queens were first:
Cliodna, she had long flowing fair hair, and I knew once she had fell in love with a mortal and had left the fairy world. A wave of magic had brought her back and eventually she had become a Queen.
Grainr, had the brightest cheeks I had seen, but that was all I knew of her.
Orla, I knew she was known as the golden queen.
Aine, she was the goddess of fertility, healing, vitality and prosperity.
Grian, the one I hoped would be my ally. She was known to help people achieve their goals, and was very persuasive.
It was now the turn of the kings:
Donn, he was the most impressive of them all. He was benevolent but also fierce.
Midhir, he was the father of Donn, although not as large.
Knop, was the king who loved music and dancing. The last was another I could use as an ally;
Ilbhreac, he took over the position of King when Dagdar gave it up. I knew he had a great respect for Dagdar and would hate to think of him under a witches spell.
Well I was here, in front of some of the most noble of the Fairies; now all I had to do was persuade them to help. I knew it wouldn’t be as easy as that.
