I have to tell you something. It's a bit important but nothing to worry about.

I hope not. He does have hundreds of brothers, a wife and a few sons now too.


[She looked thoughtfull, wondering if time was really stoped back home.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

That's quite a big family.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

That's the way a Feegle clan works. There's one woman who is the leader. Or the Kelda as they call it. She marries the Big Man of the clan. Feegles are very small when they're born so the Kelda has many babies. And they're all male.

Only rarley will a female be born. The females will all grow up and go off to become the Kelda's of a different clan. Marrying their Big Man.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Didn't you say you were their Kelda?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She tries to avoid laughing]

Only briefly. Their Kelda was dying when I was nine and the whole mess with the fairyworld was happening. I agreed to be the Kelda after she died, until we solved the mess. When we did, they went and found Jeanie from another clan and she took over.

Forbidden.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

.....

That was years ago.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Change it.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

You can't change the past.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Are you even trying?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

It's impossible to change the past by just wanting something hard enough.

I know what I'm talking about.

[How many times had she wished she hadn't left her body open for the Hiver...]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

...

You're not--that anymore, are you?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

No, I am not the Kelda. Jeannie from the Long Lake Clan came and is their Kelda and Rob's wife.

I am their lands hag. They believe that the land needs it's witch to tell it how to be. My history as their former Kelda and my current status as the hag of the hills is the reason why they keep watch over me.

...

You're not to have any sort of boyfriend until fifty.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I don't see what that has to do with the Feegles.

Besides I've told you already. I'm not interested in anyone here at the moment.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Seventy-five.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Trying not to laugh]

Someone might wonder if you didn't want me to date.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

That would be silly. I consider myself a fairly lenient person, really.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Of course.

You do remember that I'm not a country right?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Of course I do. Why do you ask?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Becuase if you continue to add any more years I'm going to die before you allow me to date.

[She really has no intention of dating here Roland. But is just trying to point out the flaws in the argument.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, I think seventy-five is a good year.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain people are grand-mothers by that age.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You're just being silly.

It's still a good age, regardless, and that's where the line is staying.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Anyway. I've told you before. There is no one here I'm interested in. You don't have to worry about that.
