Fourchesac when fairies:

(If I'm not mistaken, that's how he treated them in the beginning of the show)

I feel bad for Fourchesac at times but then I remember if someone is alone then there's a 50/50 chance there's a reason why. He reminds me of Warren the Eagle from DHMIS but obvs Warren's way worse. Forchy enjoyed being included with the Super 4 but as soon as they laid down a reasonable boundary and said he couldn't come on the next adventure(plus he's banned from the fairies palace) he flips out, says he hates them all and immediately goes into revenge mode. He's a toxic freind just like Warren the Eagle(on a less severe scale) what a sad sad man. Also i think Barons aware of what kind of person Fourchesac is and that's why he's harsh, firm and sets boundaries with him as he does not want that loser pestering him thinking they're mates to only then suffer the consequences of forchies temper tantrums when upset and immediately going into "ima make you pay for this"

Side note:Meela, Fourchesacs elder ancestor is so fine, how the hell is he her decendent. She's beautiful

Woo! These guys were fun to redesign! I realized that I didn’t draw the original Koloss unfortunately, but I hope this new look makes up for it (he gets no love already :( ). Again, I wanted to retain as much as could of their original designs. I also gave them distinct swords for further diversity.

I based the Baron off of Henry VIII’s fashion a bit, he was made for it. In my interpretation he’s very stylish and vain (and probably wasted a good deal of coin on appearances).

I felt that Rypan needed more armor (and rockin’ wolf head pauldrons). At the cost of slight anime-hair. A cape wouldn’t hurt either.

Fourchesac, I actually kinda liked his original outfit, though it looked a little like a hoodie/pajamas. Shame he never really wore his hood, as far as I know. So I added a plague mask motif on it (I like to imagine that he posed as a doctor to King Kendrick in the beginning). His staff was cool as it was, so other than coloring the branches on the top, I did nothing else. Lastly, I wanted someone to have those pointed shoes commonly seen in medieval art, so I gave those (way too many people have boots).

Koloss’ original design was fairly solid I think. Though I got rid of all the buckles he had on his chest (far too many I think). His shield was the most fun to draw. After rewatching the show, I noticed he had skin exposed under his helmet and pauldrons, so I fixed that. I also added breathing holes in his helmet (lest he suffocate and die).

Edit: Added individual portraits for better viewing!

Alex: Do you have any skeletons in your closet?

Fourchesac: Do you mean literally or figuratively?

Alex: Honestly, the fact that I have to specify…

Sunset Dance

Gene sits and thinks about what he’s learnt about the fairies.

Soft music from an unknown source fills the air. Three young women fly and pirouette, the golden glow of the sunset making their wings sparkle.

Gene watches his friend dance with her only fairy friends. Friends who, if pressed by their queen, would turn her into a frog immediately. Loyalty to their Queen is powerful amongst fairies. Even those who are banished like Twinkle are under her control.

The only way to escape its hold is to renounce fairy magic, to become a witch. Doing so takes away a fairy’s connection to the magic of their island. Sadness no longer means losing her power, a witch does not need the Golden Spellbook, or the Magic Tree Ceremony to keep her magic. But, witches can only use black magic, they lose pieces of innate knowledge that only fairies can have, and they lose their wings.It is almost impossible to truly be happy as a witch, the more powerful a witch is, the more she falls to the darkness of her spells.

At least, that’s what Twinkle says. She once told her friends that Baba Cara is one of the most powerful witches on the Enchanted Island, commanding even the more pleasant witches. It’s why she’s so mean.

Gene believes it’s because the woman is an awful person, rather than evil magic making her miserable.

The fairies’ dance is hypnotic, distracting in a way only fairies can be. He meant to take notes on it, build up more data to explain their existence, but he is enthralled.

He tears his eyes away, barely managing that, to look at his human friends. Alex is as hypnotised as Gene was, unable to focus on just one of the fairies. His face is gentle, blue eyes serene…

Gene moves on from those forbidden thoughts, reminds himself of their friendship. He is secretly glad Alex isn’t dazzled by just one of them, it means he hasn’t become attracted to any of them.

Ruby, on the other hand, hasn’t taken her eyes off Twinkle at all. She seems bewitched by her movements, ignoring everything else. As though she’s found a treasure chest full of gold and jewels.

It isn’t uncommon for fairies to beguile humans, Alex and Twinkle had once told him. Sometimes it goes on until the human’s demise, as fairies can live many centuries longer and age slowly. The Queen is older than she appears, though still young for her kind, the Wise Fairy even moreso. Sadly fairies often lose interest. Humans often end up in a dark place, plagued by greed or misery.

One unlucky man was Fourchesac. Years ago, he had fallen for the Queen’s sister. She had shown him secrets most wizards would kill for, let him eat magical treats and dance with her through the night. She had given Fourchesac access to powers a human should not have. Wizards are supposed to use alchemy and a few safer spells, not fairy magic.

When the Queen’s sister lost interest, he broke. Forchesac succumbed to greed and cowardice, swearing revenge against all fairies. For giving a human the power and knowledge he now possessed and for allowing him to hate all fairy kind the Queen banished her sister. No one ever saw her again. Fairies can be cliquey as well, shunning anyone they do not consider worthy of their time. A contrast to their otherwise sweet nature. This is another why reason they abandon human lovers. They often pick their friends, their sisters, over humans. Twinkle is nothing but sweet, so Gene held little fear that she would leave Ruby broken.

He turns back to the dance and lets his mind drift. He feels calm. Gene likes the outside world, where the air is fresh, where the sun shines in the day, the stars glitter at night.

The only problem is that things often don’t make sense, like fairies and magic. He’s slowly accepting there is something about the Enchanted Island that science cannot explain. But he still tries to.

As the sun sets over the horizon the fairies end their dance. They elegantly flutter to the ground as one. Twinkle bids them goodnight. Gene, Alex, and Ruby shake themselves out of their stupor. Alien has long fallen asleep, somehow unaffected by the fairies. Twinkle picks him up and carries him to the Chameleon.

Gene drives them to the bridge connecting the Enchanted Island and Kingsland. They can’t stay in the land of the fairies due to Twinkle’s banishment. None of them want to be woken up by an angry queen chasing them out.

They had all agreed that day to stay in Kendric’s castle for the night, as Alex is always welcome there.

Gene is looking forward to sleeping in an actual bed tonight, rather than a sleeping bag.
