The last realm was made known after the fall; Terre de Brume, an endless nothing and prison for fallen gods. Death would have been better; if truth was known, but then most of what shall be relayed has been lost in time where the names have only become myth and suggestion.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I478cE0Eb

In the Isles of Briton and Eire lived the pantheon of the ekimmu; Arianrhod and her ilk. Arianrhod was the Moon-Mother ekimmu Goddess who was known throughout the land for her stunning beauty. She was ruler of Caer Sidi, a magical realm in the north. She was worshiped as priestess of the moon. The benevolent silver sky-lady came down from her pale white chariot in the heavens to watch more closely over the tides she ruled. Arianrhod was also called the Silver Wheel because the dead were carried on her Oar Wheel to Emania (the Moon-land or land of death), which belonged to her as a deity of reincarnation. Arianrhod was the daughter of the Goddess Don and the sister of Gwydion. Gwydion was counselor to his sister as they grew from their childhood. Their sire was the God Taranis, who only ever left his own contemplation; it seems was to beget more offspring. Don was of Leth`Evana, Don was fae.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeL7LEOang

“Gwydion!” she laughed softly as her womb-mate and twin froze a messenger as he tried to run from the throne room.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKu3juMjbv
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdmzD6Jmab
“Yes sister?” he asked innocently.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljDVo7Ml22
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGg7oFxwZ
Their blue eyes mirrored the other but where her hair was white-silver, his was a golden blonde color that shone like the sun itself. He wore only leather skin pants and a thick fur around his pale shoulders as he lay lazily upon a dais next to her throne. A natural mark wrought its way from his right shoulder across his sculpted pectorals to his navel. It appeared like ice and a long finger traced the mark and Arianrhod stared into her twin’s eyes.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg8BjHjfWa
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVOHu0jka2
“You are positively evil.” She chirped playfully.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkE8ZxEETL
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu95yCsBlF
Arianrhod was wearing only a silk binding around her breasts and a low slung wrap skirt with platinum chains making tinkling sounds as she stood up. Upon her head she wore a wreath of flowers that signaled the final coming of spring and neither twin wore their reed sandals at the moment, why should they in their own personal throne room of Caer Sidi?475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd3u0p0JRe
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7tA8seka
“The messenger did bring some rather disturbing news though.” Arianrhod said seriously for a moment as she sat upon Gwydion’s dais.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQvKYRZpic
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DP4n1uObQ
“Oh Sister please stop fretting and being all ruler on me. Come and lay with me for a moment.” Gwydion commanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sXPM3XtL
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPOhhAEoXa
She looked at the angel of a man who really and truly co-ruled with her and she smiled. He was a trickster; bad tempered, controlled snow and ice itself (the Sky dragons did not worship him for nothing), powerful, lied as easily as he spoke, and had an unexplainable hatred for their half-brother Fionn Hammel.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sjWHEC5A1
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X9sWXqcI3
She sighed and lay beside him and they stared deeply into the other’s eyes. The threat was one they had not had to face in a very long time. When she was much younger, by almost a millennium, she had waged war against the enemy for things done against HER personally. Personal memories assaulted her and Arianrhod had to look away.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PwpBiVHSi
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4l7W9nrpG
“Why are you still contemplating that?” Gwydion said suddenly in a bad temper.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD15dEll8t
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfM6ukQWx
“We were young and it was I who declared war against the Undine if you remember Gwydion. Did they or did they not kill Nwyvre?” The Moon goddess demanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYZU1QMZJx
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV88o0KQNEE
“You know they did.” He snapped with a petulant pout.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOTZX4Ij6g
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BYBraGj01
The memories assaulted Arianrhod of her holding the broken and dead body of her very first love. Don; supposedly her mother, was the undisputed ruler of all Undine fae in Leth`Evana but she had not cared. Hate unlike anything had overcome her and there had been a storm of hurricane like proportions on the isles that day. Gwydion and Fionn had had to drag her away and calm her lest she destroy parts of Briton and Eire. Yes, that particular day had been hideous on so many levels. She had learned to not weep over it but the war she had started was one that had cost many ekimmu their very existence and many fae had been slain as the rivers of crimson had run through the veils.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U68kOUSGe
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwMBseT9Md
“Come we shall talk no more of it, but I must meet with Fionn on the morrow.” Her voice softened to calm her very sullen twin.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvLHbRBWGM
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhyGibsIOf
“Must you?” he complained.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYUb47PWlE
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5fjmMdkl5
“Yes Gwydion, I must for the heaven’s sake! One of us actually must rule you know.” Arianrhod chided him.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdARIP43Si
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBKnMT4vVE
“I can think of so many other wonderful things I would rather be doing sister.” Gwydion hinted at.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyyfzUBU8
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpmLk08uu6
“Of course you can but then you always do. Now I must go and see to the lands.” Her reply came and it obviously displeased him.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNjYjx8BM
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89KQrKx7ld
“I do not give a fig about the fae anymore sister and frankly neither should you. Let Fionn or even Bilae handle the elven mess. Better yet contact Arawn!” He demanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9mCeegEez
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzBQmWznlJ
“This discussion is over Gwydion. Play or whatever, but war is again on the horizon.” Arianrhod said with rising temper.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaOGrOmu04
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6wg4eaJxp
He watched his beloved sister walk out of their throne room and he sat up petrified. If she knew, if she knew the truth then not only would he loose his place by her place, but Fionn would have his way to waltz any direction he chose. The disgusting elves could not stay in Leth`Evana, where they belonged, they had to return to this plane, where ekimmu were the masters over all the underling daemons and the emerging mortals. Gwydion stood up and the brown fur fell to his dais and he too quickly left the throne room. In his rising temper, his skin was slowing taking on a blue caste to it and anyone who saw him, they would know that the “trickster” of Caer Sidi was in fact the god of snow and ice; that was the element that he commanded. Arianrhod had inherited the control of the very air itself and the ability to manipulate that particular element could be deadly. When the twins joined their elements; they were nigh unstoppable. The price they paid for commanding the very weather and elements was that they required the stuff of life itself; founts of the claret essence. The throne room stood empty except for the lone messenger waiting for the ice to melt on his foot.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmAknOahaG
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyjr7lqYtO
Arianrhod watched Fionn Hammel wield his hammer against the shield of one of his soldiers and he barked orders.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftvn02krZ9
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINjjeB7SdA
“Anticipate me boy! I am your enemy this moment, think as if you are me!” Fionn growled at the younger ekimmu.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SkTYIaNeJ
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqONX0LeCs
Fionn was aware of HER presence, but then he was always aware of her presence. He could never forgive himself for the sin he had committed nor the aftermath of that sin. The only good thing that had come from that time was his beloved niece, Nemain. She was Gwydion’s daughter but she was a warrior like Arianrhod and him. He was training this very talented young man named Gavin Tremin; Fionn always had need of loyal and discrete warriors.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTWqeSRQq
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNU3VUIqlX
“Bravo Fionn! Who are you dear boy?” Arianrhod asked watching her warrior half-brother and leader of warriors.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4HeMqpZU3
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQdBGMYcFK
“Gavin milady!” The dark haired ekimmu bowed and stopped the spar for a moment.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HPTgpjfHj
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4YfM156zI
“Well Gavin we have need of you and very soon.” His queen stated as she neared Fionn.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wK99oLpHf

“Arianrhod? What do you go on about?” Fionn demanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEhICP8kGV
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA7CT66S5Q
“Fionn there have been not only Undine seen on the Isles but also the Woodlawn fae.” She murmured softly.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡculQkMrzRp
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsEZ8BytS8
“Because they have been seen does not mean they are here for battle Sister.” The ekimmu of Thunder stated flatly.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodWvl9qeoX
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLevSzTPh4
“One fae steps foot into my kingdom and this plane and I shall rip open their throats and drink them dry as I leave their corpses to dry into mummified husks!” came her angry cry.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlaKalP8XK
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbBtjFNhKK
“I understand you anger…” Fionn tried to say.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRnWLvnyyH

“THIS IS NOT ABOUT NWYVRE!” Arianrhod actually snarled and slapped her chief warrior across his strong and sculpted cheek.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3HTT11fqi
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomweANfEX
“I suppose Sister that I shall find you in a bit.” He said stiffly and without emotion.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLQ278Y7sR
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjJZKLno1p
She started to stop him but held in the pain. After Nwyvre’s death, Fionn had gotten terribly drunk on fae blood and spirits and the man that was truly Fionn was bared. Arianrhod loved him deeply but he shut her out of his mind and heart after that night and she had done something wretched; she allowed Gwydion to claim and raise Nemain as his own daughter. Neither man knew any different, nor did she have no intention of changing it. Gwydion was her consort/co-ruler and Fionn was their lead warrior, it was all as it should be. She felt the eyes of the young warrior on her and she looked at him sharply.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalpFB8kzh1
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV4ZoBQfby
“Yes young Gavin?” She demanded coldly.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OFdniiXT6

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap1OmBZRDG
“Never question who has the rule here boy. Fionn knows this as I am the very air in which you breathe.” Arianrhod said closing the space between him and the arrogant boy.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMWCrVgbZN
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7Gy181EL
Gavin only wore a navy blue tunic that skimmed his ankles and it was belted with a thick braided leather belt. He wore woven leather sandals and held a round bronze colored shield. His eyes narrowed and she noticed they were hazel. His skimmed his shoulders in all one length.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HU69rO2YJ

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexW3nBX5Vh
Gavin actually grew afraid and Arianrhod stood over him as her eyes began to take on a turbulent and stormy blue that would glow in the dark. Her white-silver was down and came to above her backside. She ripped the flower diadem from her head and threw them away.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUSIjJjYI7

“Give me your wrist.” She demanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIeByE5LRG
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YwhMjljkk
He did as he was told and she viciously bit into his forearm and began to drink forcefully. There was no pleasure in this act, it was a lesson to be given and Gavin was horrified to be fed from as if he was one of the mortals or lesser daemons. Arianrhod drained much of his life force and raised her bare foot and shoved him backwards with much force.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb2Egy4IcU
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzGWzfIw3b
“Next time you question me on anything Gavin Tremin, you will not be reborn, and you will only be dead.” She stated as she walked away with blood stained lips.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogLwGPUw0I

“Yes.” She said sitting on her granite throne.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8Q2lucwi
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60IlYwlyV
She was now wearing a black filmy gauze dress that tied around her neck and her eyes took on that haunting look as she stared at Fionn. Her nails dug into the granite and her eyes were getting stormy.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9nCTsVlB

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD3PIwqEsA
He was one of the few who dared speak to her impertinently and she allowed it because not only did she love him more than she should but she respected him. Fionn stood taller than most ekimmu and had the fairest of blonde hair. He wore a beard but it was kept immaculately groomed and his mane came to just past his shoulders and he usually wore it down. For the moment he was wearing a loose green tunic with Celtic symbols embroidered in gold along its edges and belted at his waist with a thick leather belt. He wore his deer hide boots and his hammer and shield were not on him at the moment but he always wore his iron gauntlets except when he slept; which was seldom.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxrkyAwdx
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wlIMCSPW2

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdzVhFi6DC
Gwydion was nearby the entrance to the throne room and he smirked at Fionn’s indifference and that made him giddy. His twin had never forgotten her feelings for the half ekimmu and Gwydion had never forgotten his hatred either.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQqdtiEx6v

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6iQffcQ6X
“Why do you torment him so?” She demanded.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTiQ1weZmc

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAtAdR07k0
The Silver Wheel rolled her magnificent eyes and sat back on her throne. Anger coursed through her on many levels. Fae were in HER lands and old feelings were rearing their ugly head. Gwydion could see much on the face of his goddess and he straddled her hips. He wore only kidskin leggings that had been dyed black and nothing else and she looked up at him.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W5A3WdzIh

“Whatever happens we shall face together. Whatever threat happens across this land we shall eradicate; TOGETHER Piuthar. You are me and I am you. We shall always be two halves of a whole. Remember that.” Gwydion said softly.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwvyGs4KoW
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LKgJFDzZi
He gently tilted her chin up and lowered his lips to hers. He claimed her mouth and dominated her as he always did. She could not stop herself nor did she want to because she knew Gwydion was right on this topic. His queen reached up and buried one hand in his golden hair and wrapped the other around his neck to get him closer. Their tongues clashed and traced the other’s fangs as the heat between them was immense. Her eyes glowed again but this time in passion as her consort took his pleasure and she took. Arianrhod lifted her mouth from Gwydion’s lips and suddenly bit into his chest and he threw back his head and began to moan obscenely as she took from him.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSemWAVFC3c
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGkiCE8bl9

Her face was painted blue as was Fionn’s and every other ekimmu warrior. They had entered the homeland of the fae; Leth`Evana. Arianrhod wore a white breast plate, matching gauntlets, and a white helmet. Gwydion was near her and he wore only a loose tunic top and leather breeches in white and blue; his signature colors. Under her armor she wore a thicker stolla dress in white. The warrior maiden looked as if a ghost with a blue face and she was astride a mount. Before them was a large contingent of Undine and it looked a sea of white. The Undine fae were “water”elves and that was their element. Most of the Undine had white hair except the rare exception of the occasional black haired ones; Nwyvre having been one of those.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDk2owK3WY

“We do not answer to you filthy ekimmu whore!” One tall Undine called out and Arianrhod turned her attention to him.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiudlflOA

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfByqLxjVQ
Fionn gave the call of their kind and it was unmistakable, it sounded close to an eagle’s cry as the ekimmu surged forward. Arianrhod was already ahead and had slipped from her mount and she held out her hand, a white-silver blade materialized with an ivory hilt. The tall Undine went on the defensive as she slashed at him with overhead strikes with the strength of many men. The fae man did manage to get his great spear into her upper arm but it only served to further anger her and she whirled in a full arc to avoid his deadly weapon again.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6pJoDaCNm

“That insipid wench is only a vessel, your kind should know better and we ekimmu are here to give that lesson. Your lot is murderers!” She snarled as she slashed straight through his chainmail.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8RdT3QoR
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVkudix78Z
The Undine grunted in pain as his russet colored life force dripped from the gaping wound. Arianrhod imagined laying the fae upon the field and drinking him till he was a husk and the high that would follow would indeed be sweet. Her weapon and his met over and over as they were checking the other. She was glorying in the physicalness of the battle and she could hear the death cry of many Undine. Arianrhod jumped left and arced around fully and delivered a surprise blow to the fae’s middle. The pale eyes of her nemesis were clouded in pain and hers had taken on the haunting look when she called upon her elemental abilities.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmMx4OkokT

Arianrhod’s eyes narrowed and she whirled around and took off the head of another Undine. The one who was bleeding before her eyes was sickened as the head rolled in front of him and the eyes were still looking around.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EAnGJQ5E
475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBkLXpfZB

475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlik9qTxfKL
The Undine refused to speak as death surrounded him on all sides. The Abhainn Undine had been the ones foraying into the ekimmu kingdoms but it was Don who was paying the price. He lifted his weakened head and he could only feel hate for the blood drinking elemental.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EWyuLQSmL
