Third fairy king

The two weeks in between negotiations they had expended looking for other groups willing to do business with them. For some even sugar wasn’t enough though opium was a secret they wanted to keep. Amaterasu did not like the idea of introducing such a substance, but she knew the fairies would need it and use it to their advantage eventually. It was surprising how such a physically weak species had adopted such a ruthless code of conduct.

Fairies had become that way to survive, their planet was nothing but a ball of fire when they arrived. They though adapted, their strongest members being the only ones who survived, forced into such a planet had made them evolve much faster and even learn how to tweak their evolution. Tiangou, garuda and even the rarer lion dogs would be widely respected by fairies, even though their morals were different they both respected strength. Amaterasu though had not been raised in any of those cultures, she had learned of them and Brighid had tried to teach her those values the best she could, but in the end she was raised in a fairy culture and thus understood better the fairy moral code. It was simple, fairies respected karma though they often went overboard with how they did it.

The smugglers who tried to steal for them was murdered then used as a puppet, the one who accepted their terms was made rich beyond his imagination, Brighid had even blessed him, that man would become even richer in the future. Those who are against you should be dealt with great force so that they do not dare to bother you again, those who aide you will be paid for tenfold so that they remain friends. It was something not many understood, often people thought of fairies as unpredictable creatures who could very well grant you a favor or make your life a living hell.

After their return they found the Bru na Boine in utter chaos, Fomorian spies had attacked, that happened usually though this time the Deva had aided them in their war, mercenaries clad in iron had led the assault. Dagda had died leaving his wife Boann in the throne as regent, she had found a way to stop the attack through negotiation though some fairies wanted to fight.

Derg was the oldest but he knew that Dagda would have chosen Brighid as successor, it was not something that bothered him. Boann though wanted her son to rule, not the bastard monster. Boann stopped the Fomorian attack because the conditions for the deal were too good to be true, they knew that the moment the sugar metals arrived the fairies would be very well armed to take revenge, though Boann appeased to them.

Fomorians, the fairies of Teya, a planet ruled by Krishna life was easy for them, the Coya fairies, the Tuatha de Dannan had fooled them into joining to become a unified force, a single government which would place them as equals with the Deva. Fomorians had an easy life in Teya though they were still servants, they did not expect the Deva to send them to that living hell. Tuatha de Dannan now were provoking the anger of the Deva again, now that their life had become better, they were still reveling, thus the war began.

Boann had promised Fomorians to follow their stance on Deva politics, she had also promised to marry one of the princesses to a Fomorian prince so that they would unite again. This meant Brighid was now in an arranged marriage, she was the only woman old enough to do so. Even married she would not allow a Fomorian onto the throne, this was what the Fomorians expected, to have a prince marry Brighid and her to inherit the throne so a Fomorian would rule both.

Boanne knew Brighid and she knew Brighid would abdicate her right and leave it to Derg, then she would marry. When this decision was known the Fomorians were angry, though they could do nothing because the treaty was already signed. So, they decided to marry her with Bres, he was still in line for the Fomorian throne though he was known to had married seven times before, it was a death sentence for Brighid, in the marriage vows they made her swear to not harm her husband regardless of the situation.

After the wedding she asked for three days for her to put some matters in order, which was allowed, three days wouldn’t make much of a difference. She thus decided to go to Teya, to meet Rudra in the council.
