    Mein

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.
    Mantle

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    While Sera slept, Rhodes moved through the shelves of the Autumn Hollow, pulling out books. The Huntsman was a key figure in Fae Lore. It made sense that there would be many Gentry in the same image.

    Sitting at a desk with Sera in his eyeline, he scoured the books.

    "blah blah blah.... Welsh, French, Scandinavian and English sources... blah blah... German..."

    Gwynn Ap Nudd...

    Woden, Herod, Cain....

    "Ah."


    ....and ye whosoever standeth against ye Lorde of the Wyld Hunt will be stricken down by his mighty spear and torn by his Eternal Pack.


    He looks over to Seraphina's sleeping form. "Sorry darling."

    Lo, though he who moves in line with the hunt will earn a portion of it's bounty - but take heed, for such reward comes with a terrible curse, either to become one of hounds of the Hunt or to become it's prey for all time.

    The Dread Lord turns the page.

    Knowledge was power, after all, and he was never one to be seen lacking in power.

    First the Autumn Oculist finds for mundane stories. Those of the Wild Hunt, typically involve a horde of ghostly or other supernatural figures in wild pursuit. The hunters may be elves or fairies or the dead, with the leader of the Hunt, being associated with various Gods, Historic, or Biblical figures. From these references Rhdoes reads, that to see the Wild Hunt was thought to warm those who witnessed it of troubles to come, as war or plague. Or even the death of who caught sight of the ghostly figures.

    What truly sticks out to the Fairest is this, People encountering the Hunt might also be abducted to the underworld or the fairy kingdom. The sentence startlingly close to home.

    As he delves deeper, he learns more. Though not enough, one can never learn enough of those capricious, hungry things hunting for the Lost.

    He finds gathered stories of a horned hunter. Rumours slipped from Freehold to Freehold.

    A large figure, a giant of a man, wearing the head and neck of an elk, moose, goat, or stag. Sometimes with the legs and feet of the same. Or more often just the horns and antlers of those beasts.

    More then one legend tells, of the domineering presence of the Huntsman, of him calling a changeling by their name, and them, leaving safety and sanctuary to go to his side.

    and, every Lost who's regrettably has encountered the Huntsman, agree, that he near begs you to run from him.

    So. They was a very real risk of abduction, and he wanted them all to run.

    The hair on the back of his neck prickled in terror.

    "Just as well I said I would watch over you, darling," Rhodes murmured. "I won't be sleeping tonight."
