I know you don't believe me when I say: I?ve never chosen this path I tread. I just get pushed around by my dann and I?ll be damned if I can fight it. The Fae have me as their tool, their messenger, and I don't even know what that means.

A White Dove Returns
How thoughtless of me to put your beauty and good grace in any way as a part of my salvation-- to think that merely waking would end my nightmare.
