Artist's Comments
"She fell into despair, lost in the darkness of the woods. As morning broke she awakened,
Guided by the smell of dew on moss and the chirping of birds in the air. Rising to kneel in the filtering, dappled sunlight, she heard a cluck of wood against wood And her heart leapt to her throat. 'Move no nearer,' a strange, thickly-accented voice said softly to her right. Despite the order, she turned and stared into eyes green as Forest foliage. His face was gaunt, body lean and wavering as if the shadows and sunlight fought over His keen flesh. His hair was brown and held a vaguely-russet shade to it. His eyes were clear and stern. 'Move no nearer,' he ordered again, though hesitantly. She gazed into the shaft that he held and past it. They hung together in pregnant silence, with nothing but the woods to guide their actions, this Mortal woman, lost to her Felaysian kingdom, and Her would-be murderer, of the Seelie and the Fair." - Myerex C. Costrana, Seelie scribe esq. "Ballad of Tirthuen and Neviah.", (C) 1543, a.d. - "Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free. And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the rocks reach the sea. Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun. And cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done. Come by the hills to the land where life is a song And sing while the birds fill the air with their joy all day long. Where the trees sway in time, and even the wind sings in tune. And cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done. Come by the hills to the land where legend remains Where stories of old stir the heart and may yet come again. Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won. And cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done. Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free. And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the rocks reach the sea. Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun. And cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done. And cares of tomorrow must wait till this day is done..." - Loreena McKennitt, "Come By the Hills". - Prize for *Terrizae, who requested ghosts or fairies.

Will write a separate story on these two likely later, or a ballad / song / epic poem.-A.C. - Stock Credits: Female model: the beautiful *faestock Male model / elf: the glorious =lindowyn-stock Background: *steppeland Textures: *hibbary Rays of light brushes: *redheadstock - Enjoy. -A.C.

 reports, 1d 2h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

( I thought "Seelie" was a strange term to be used in the 1500s because the Sidhe court system didn't start getting literature until the Victorian era. ) Must read. Yep.
(You're not wrong, of course.
