october 31st 1422, 2 kilometers from Dublin, Ireland.
the knight stood tall at his post watching...guarding...against the local cattle raiders. this place, Hibernia the locals called it, Ireland says the duke.neither mattered to Riker only that he was bored and no one dared attack these days. the nights were so dreadful and he couldn't even have fun with a local girl he found if he was on watch. he sighed and watched what there was of the moon. it wasn't full a crescent as it would be later called. he wished the locals would just attack already so he could have something fun to do. from what he understood the cattle raids were a common thing. one village would raid another for cattle out of survival and that village would do the same. barbarians all they were especially those infernal druids. some said they could change shape into animals, and when that rumor reached the ear of the priest they were immediately called demon worshipers. it didn't matter to Riker, he was a knight and fighting was his job. That and being a noble, only noble could be knights after all. oh how he wished he could be at that girl's house instead of here, Lisandra her name was in the king's tongue. he didn't know her name in her language. he didnt care either. this was the fifth day of the night shift and Riker was due to have his rest day soon then he would pay Lisandra a visit and work out his frustration. yes, that's what he would do, oh yes he would have his.....a shout and cry not loud but in the middle of the night in the quiet of the night, he heard it. an excuse to action and to see Lisandra, oh yes if it was quick he could take some time with her and explain it away to his boss later. turning to the other guard and finding him asleep oh yes it was perfect,riker let at a run going to Lisandra's house and kicked in the door sword drawn. inside he found two people, one of them was Lisandra the other was taller and pale and her eyes were like ice. oh, he was enamored with this one and nobody was around. still, he had to at least see why there was a scream. asking both why and what had happened the tall woman just looked at him, her eyes piercing. Lisandra was manic in her look but answered quickly. "I was surprised by the queen...sir" a queen but this was not the queen of his homeland and most of the kings of this land were unwed. Riker looked at the tall woman incensed at someone pretending to be royalty. accusing her of her false pretense riker would take out his frustrations on this woman this pretender to a throne. he began to approach the tall woman when he noticed her fingers. they weren't fingers, they were more akin to claws or talons. the fingers were there yes but her nails were long and sharp like weapons and they were black. looking at Lisandra he yelled "Who is this you call queen with fingers like claws" It was then that the tall women thing spoke in a voice like silk and despite how soft it was to his ear he felt it as if she was yelling in his mind " I AM MAAB, QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS, QUEEN OF THE WINTER COURT AND OF THE SIDHE, MONARCH OF THE UNSEELIE." a monster, a fae, a thing of local legend that was what he heard and his blade was at the ready. it was his duty as a knight to kill such things. Monster he yelled and charged the thing, a wind of such cold blew into his eyes and he was forced to blink for all but a moment. There was no time in his charge but suddenly he was not charging his legs would not move. looking down he found his legs encased in ice up to his waist. when had the thing done this to him thou, though he looked now to her and found her there still but she held the top of a blade and her dress was no longer the light blue of before, black it was now in stark contrast to her pale skin and her eyes oh her eyes put a fear in him they were black. nothing but black no pupils just black nothingness. the blade thou it was familiar and his gaze was drawn back to it. it was his sword but he was holding his sword. looking down he found the truth his blade was not there just a cross guard and hilt. what was this monster creature as he began to open his mouth to yell at the thing he found he could not speak his tongue was cold. a laugh or a cackle left the thing's throat. "you'll find it hard to speak with your tongue frozen in your mouth, oh but you don't need it anyway. I AM MAAB, and I shall speak for now." she glided across the room and but a few inches from him she spoke again "Monster you called me, oh yes I am a monster, mother of monsters but I am not the mother of you and you are a monster too. Lisandra is one of mine and she told me of what you do to her, taking her womanhood by force and taking your frustrations on her. Oh yes, the marks are not visible to the others but she must hide them by your command. Oh yes, you are not one of mine but you are a monster. Oh yes, I do think you will make a good toy for my court. after my daughter Lisandra here takes her place and becomes one of us I think I'll give you to her in repayment for the fun you will bring me. FOR I AM MAAB, AND ONE DOES NOT TAKE FROM US!" Riker wanted to scream now the cold bit at him so fiercely off her but before he could she was on him kissing him the cold increased but the pain faded away. when the kiss broke riker stood there still encased in a pillar of ice his eyes wide but glossy. the queen turned from the pillar and looked at the girl and spoke only a sentence more "I AM MAAB, I AM GREAT" Again a wind like that of the frozen tundra blew through the room forcing the girl to blink, the pillar was gone and so was maab.
