<div class="floatleft">(http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/WyldeSK/thbutterfly.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Maelynn Swallowtail<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Vine and Horn Inn and Tavern<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Present<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Johanna, Patrick, Callie<br/><hr/><br/>Mae was of the wood, and as such, was at least slightly more wary than the others of the ring of mushrooms around them. But should the reader have assumed that she understood the trouble that they were about to stumble into, the reader would have found himself dead wrong. Because the reader will have made the same assumption that Callie and Patrick had made, and for that matter Johanna as well.<br/><br/>Simply put, Lepidopterans are not fae.<br/><br/>Sure, they reside deep in the wood, much as faeries do. And sure they<em>look</em>like fae do, flitting about, sporting butterfly wings, and being generally undersized compared with the average humanoid life form. But in reality, Lepidopterans share more in common with other animal-human hybrids like cat-people, dog-people, bunny-people, and even centaurs, they they did with fay. Faeries generally are steeped in mysterious magics in ways that Lepi for example are not. The only magic inherent in Lepidopteran society in fact is of course the transformation, which is really no more magical than any caterpillar turning into any butterfly. Beautiful, yes. Mysterious, yes.<br/><br/>But magical - no.<br/><br/>She did know enough to try and warn the others. Just not how to do so effectively. "Um... I think... well... This is... Um... Not a safe place. We should be elsewhere."<br/>
