Perhaps it’s the magic of the mountain, perhaps it’s the inherent magic of the fairies, or perhaps it’s that her coloring blends so well against the harsher weather of the Mountain; but they never see the Ice Fairy until she wants them to. She’s watching this one, the tears and the struggle, her own light coat nearly lost against the snow and ice of the Mountain. The words are spoken as if to the air, the vast emptiness of the sky as it opens off the cliffs around them.
The Ice Fairy isn’t gentle. She’d pushed a horse off of this same cliff once, for his attitude and unreasonable demands. Of course, she’d also made him immortal in the same breath so he’d been suffering but not dying, but her sisters may have found a nicer way to impart the same message. Likewise, if Virgo had been greeted by one of the other fae, she might have been granted what she wanted on the strength of her feelings alone. But that isn’t the way she will face now.
<b> “Everything has a price,”</b> she says, materializing from the swirling ice, <b> “but that isn’t the same as the effort of obtaining it. We will take your life as the ransom for hers, but you will have to find her.”</b> She blinks bottomless blue eyes and the mare isn’t on the mountain anymore – she’s not even in the land of the living. The fairy is gone as well, though her words echo around Virgo; <b> “If you can find her, we will bring her back.”</b>
The quest: Virgo needs to have three separate threads with deceased characters on the afterlife board that are at least 2 posts each (Virgo, Character, Virgo, Character) detailing her search in the afterlife for Quiet. Only one of those threads can be with one of your own characters (i.e. with yourself), and the last should end with Virgo finding Quiet. I (Devin) would be happy to do one thread with you but the third character you will have to recruit another player.
From the time of the first thread on the afterlife, she can’t be posted again as living in BQ, unless you fail to complete the quest, in which case she will be returned to the land of the living but probably with a defect of some kind.
