Living With Faeries: A Journal | Day Two

It has been done. I am a faerie. I have undergone astounding changes, physical and otherwise. I now stand less than an inch tall. I cast no shadow. My eyes glow the same colour as my wings, a dark and pearly blue, and my mind is honed to focus in ways that I did not think possible. My companions have undergone similar changes.
We have been given the specifics of our task. My companions and I, through the careful method of immersion, are to immigrate ourselves into a faerie kingdom eight miles northwest of here and study their culture, habits, and ways. This community is rumored to be one of the biggest in the known world. It is a daunting task, yes, but one that I think all of us can manage.

Still, though, I worry about working with Travis. The man is extremely antisocial, and I worry that he will be a roadblock to our success. His eyes and wings glow a moody, sour shade of green, and his surly demeanor persists. I wonder if he will open up, and more concerning still, if he will endanger the project. We will see.

Living With Faeries: A Journal | Day One

It is a bright autumn evening. The sun is just setting, and I can hear the leaves rustling in the trees outside. Myself and three others have been chosen to become faeries for a study on the mysteries of faerie society and culture. I am waiting with the others in the Wizard’s study for the transformation process to begin. I am quite excited; I have heard legends and tales of faeries, but have never encountered them myself.

My… Teammates, I suppose, are two close friends and one stranger. My friends’ names are Adrian and Peter. We have known each other for almost twenty years, and have all shared an interest in faeries just as long.
The stranger’s name is Travis, and we have all learned in our short time together that Travis is not a very social man. He sits in the corner broodingly, staring blankly at the stone tiles at our feet. Adrian tried twice to include the man in our conversations, but Travis stubbornly refuses to socialize... Grunts and one-word replies were all that we could get out of him. But if that is his temperament, so be it.
I hear the wizard approaching. It is time for the transformation to begin. I must take my leave.

Wish me luck.
