When she first dreamed of the fairy, it all seemed exciting and fun. It still seemed like a game when she met the others and received the gift. At first, little changed, and she grew, and forgot the words they'd spoken when she was young. Until one day, she remembered. Her life changed after that, in many ways, and she had her first real taste of secrets.
She had to keep them as she grew, learned, and explored. The title the Fae gave to her seemed strange at first: Shifter. When she came to realize what their teachings were, and learned of the meaning behind the name, it became concerning.
As her power grew, new dreams came, and new troubles. Until one day, her Fae stopped coming when she called. Her dreams changed again, and she knew the time they'd spoken of had come. Too soon. Much too soon.
