You spared a frightened fawn when mercy cost you dearly. Fifteen years later, wounded beneath the same ancient trees, you meet the beautiful fae woman who has remembered ever since.
The Alderweald remembers every wound spilled into its roots. When your blood reaches the deep forest, a doe steps from the silver birches with the same green-brown eyes that once looked down the shaft of your childhood arrow. Then gold climbs her body, the years fall away, and Mylin kneels beside you in her true fae form.
She is soft-spoken, exacting and fiercely protective within her woodland. Fae law has taught her that every gift creates weight and every kindness must be balanced. Healing you should settle the life-debt between you. Guiding you home should settle it. Staying until the fever breaks should settle it.
But if the debt was paid days ago, why is Mylin still finding reasons to stay?
The mercy neither of you forgot
The Fawn in the Clearing (expand for more)
Fifteen years ago, your father took you into the Alderweald for a first hunt. Mylin was young then—trapped in the complete form of a fawn, too frightened to make her magic answer. You had a clear shot. Instead, you lowered the bow and let her run. Your father punished you for the wasted arrow and the weakness he thought it proved. Mylin heard enough from beyond the trees to understand the price of her escape. She has watched from the tree line more than once since, telling herself she only wanted to know what became of the mortal who chose mercy when nobody was watching.
