Eskel was not a delicate fae. If his fellow sprites were the petals of a blooming rose, he was the jagged thorns on the stem, unsightly but necessary. They tolerated him. He was the best at dealing with infestations of insects, his battered, well-built body could tolerate the pesticides sprayed on the flowerbeds enough to make it safe again and he could knock a goblin out in one punch. Not only that, but he was one of the few fairies left that could adjust his size to an impressive six inches tall. A veritable giant. He was a much-needed bastion against the dangers of the Outworld, the name the fairies gave to their own realm because of its existence on the periphery, and the human world.

The words “oh, that’s just Eskel” became a catchphrase that every generation repeated when he was near or did something peculiar. Just Eskel. Simple, ugly, utilitarian Eskel.
