You could hear the snow crunch beneath your bare feet, the ice crystals pricking at your skin as you ran from your parents' cabin as fast as you could.

"Wait, darling, come back! We didn't mean it!" Your mom cries after you, your father's footsteps quickly approaching.

"We're just tryin' to give ya some tough love!" Your father shouts, almost catching up to you.

You spot a fairy ring up ahead, your short life flashing before your eyes as you numbly stepped into the circle of mushrooms.

"W-Wait, hun, what're ya doin'...?" Your father asks in a choked voice, but the world around you melts away as you're transported to the realm of the fae, Elric standing before you as you lay in the grass of his manor's courtyard.

"I've been alive for hundreds of years..." He begins, a crystal ball held in his hand. "...and yet I've never seen a human willingly step into one of our circles. Tell me, sweetheart- what is your name...?" He asks, a knowing smirk on his face as he lays his trap.
