@king-bellvale
The prince, bold and becoming,
Would become a foolish king,
Whose search for lies while hiding truths
Would cause much suffering.
King Damian Bellvale had plans for his reign. Not among them was an ailing daughter and a vengeful fae. But he was a man of faith and of science. He believed in what he could see and the Nine Good Gods beyond that, not whatever.... Those two were. There had to be another explanation for what had struck his poor, dear Eos, right? Right?
Ooc under cut
Damian eventually returned to find Hop-A-Lot. Lady Lore had left both of them.
That was.... Needed.
- @king-bellvale
Did you leave on better terms than you arrived?
He nodded.
Greatly. And she was not the one responsible for my arrival.
She told me much of the same.
Damian looked utterly bewildered by that.
Wh- how? When?
Same time she told you. I presume she is capable of splitting her consciousness.
Damian just sighed and shook his head.
Those fae...
A rather convenient trick, I think.
Indeed.... That answers one question and raises many others. Unless, of course, she's lying again.
I am inclined to believe her. There is already proof of other beings toying with us in this way.
Oho? How so?
Had you arrived while young Prince Gabriel was still here?
He shook his head.
Nay, I only know of him from the fool's babbling.
He was brought here originally be the Fairy Lady, but then was sent back once by another being, one native to this land that specializes in temporal sorcery. It would not be a shock to me you were sent here by that same beings whims.
Hm. She voiced the same suspicion to me, though she mentioned his kin as well.
I suppose any are possible.
Indeed. What a mystery...
Perhaps if your relationship mend, she will be agreeable to sending you back to our land.
He nodded.
We discussed it. She wanted me to finish mending things with Talia before we attempt anything. She seems to love the girl still, after all this time.
I am not surprised, given the bond the two share.
It seems she somehow managed to be a good sponsor even from without the court.
...do you truly think she was outside of your walls all this time?
Damian furrowed his brow.
I have not seen-
A look of realization dawned across his face.
She could be anyone.
She could. And while it is mostly speculation, I have a suspicion on what visage she has used for the past many years.
Damian perked up.
Whom? And what evidence have you?
Admittedly, it is mostly my own musing, but your daughter mentioned having a handmaiden that I think mayhaps have fit the role.
Truly?
Damian stroked his chin, trying to figure out who it could be.
I gathered she and her highness were rather close. The maiden would tell her many stories.
She was never very close to her handmaidens. She'd always manage to worm her way of their company and-
His eyes widened as it clicked.
The spinner.
[Hop snaps a webbed hand.]
That's right. I knew something I said didn't sound right.
If your suspicion is right, it must be her.
It is not surprising. She doesn't not seem one to let her duties go easily, and, for better or for worse, her Highness is one such duty.
Damian paced as he began pulling it all together in his mind.
[Hop rests on a nearby stump, letting the king think.]
That would explain many things... But raise many more questions.
What sort of questions, your majesty?
How did I not notice, for starters. Then again, she is the Lady of Lies.
You were likely not looking for her.
Yea, i'faith, I never paid much attention to the spinner. Selene, I believe?
That sounds aright.
I should inquire with Helios and Talia. The three of them were inseparable before all this.
A wise decision, your Majesty.
Thank you for sharing your suspicions with me, Lord Hop-A-Lot. You've been a great help to me in general, I must say.
I am happy to be of assistance, your Majesty.
Queen Ella is lucky to have had such a knight as you in her service.

He nodded.
We discussed it. She wanted me to finish mending things with Talia before we attempt anything. She seems to love the girl still, after all this time.
I am not surprised, given the bond the two share.
It seems she somehow managed to be a good sponsor even from without the court.
...do you truly think she was outside of your walls all this time?
Damian furrowed his brow.
I have not seen-
A look of realization dawned across his face.
She could be anyone.
She could. And while it is mostly speculation, I have a suspicion on what visage she has used for the past many years.
Damian perked up.
Whom? And what evidence have you?
Damian eventually returned to find Hop-A-Lot. Lady Lore had left both of them.
That was.... Needed.

Did you leave on better terms than you arrived?
He nodded.
Greatly. And she was not the one responsible for my arrival.
She told me much of the same.
Damian looked utterly bewildered by that.
Wh- how? When?
Same time she told you. I presume she is capable of splitting her consciousness.
Damian just sighed and shook his head.
Those fae...
A rather convenient trick, I think.
Indeed.... That answers one question and raises many others. Unless, of course, she's lying again.
I am inclined to believe her. There is already proof of other beings toying with us in this way.
Oho? How so?
Had you arrived while young Prince Gabriel was still here?
He shook his head.
Nay, I only know of him from the fool's babbling.
He was brought here originally be the Fairy Lady, but then was sent back once by another being, one native to this land that specializes in temporal sorcery. It would not be a shock to me you were sent here by that same beings whims.
Hm. She voiced the same suspicion to me, though she mentioned his kin as well.
I suppose any are possible.
Indeed. What a mystery...
Perhaps if your relationship mend, she will be agreeable to sending you back to our land.
He nodded.
