Under moonlight, dip and sway,
Our love, a flame that will not die,
A bond that neither would betray.
My love,my Fae so bright,
Here with you, our love is made,
I ache for you, both day and night,
My love for you will never fade.
From the Faerealm we stray,
Our love, a dream awakened,
Through centuries, it will stay,
And the mist will be forsaken.
My love,my Fae so bright,
Here with you, our love is made,
I ache for you, both day and night,
My love for you will never fade.
In the landof the Fae queen,
Our love, a bond, a moonlit spark,
May it shine, the brightest beam,
To guide the way out from our dark.”
He heldthe last note before he let it die away.
I clapped my hands with sincere appreciation. "That was beautiful."
He smiled modestly. "I'm surprised I remembered the words. I haven't sung that for at least a hundred years."
I blinked. "Right. How old are you?" Maybe I shouldn't have asked that. He might think it rude. The last thing I needed was an offended Fae who was armed and seemed to know how to use the weapons he carried.
He didn't look offended. He shrugged and signed, "Two hundred and twenty-three." Out loud he added, " I'm just a youngster compared to those two." He nodded towards Ryze and Vayne and grinned.
Vayne swung his face around toward Tavian. "I'm not that much older than you," he grunted.
"Only a hundred years," Tavian said.
"Ninety-eight, asshole," Vayne said. "Younger than Ryze."
Ryze shrugged. "With age comes wisdom." His eyes on me like a caress he said, "Age doesn't mean as much amongst the Fae as it does amongst humans. When you live as long as we do, and see as much as we have, you tend to forget about things like that."
I took that to mean he wasn't going to tell me how old he was. Clearly, he was a lot older than me, although he didn't look it. If I had to guess, I’d think all three were in their mid-twenties. Certainly no more than that. I knew Fae were long-lived, but I hadn't realised how long-lived they were. They all must have seen things I could only imagine.
"Did dragons exist when you were young?" Zared asked.
