Descriptions of Three Characters from the Land of Faelan

Descriptions of Three Characters from the Land of Faelan,

A Mystical Country that Harbors both Good and Evil

The Evil Sorcerer, Kaedman:

            Kaedman, though very powerful, is a very old, frail man.  His physical form is stooped and always shrouded in a black robe tied with a silken cord of the same color and a heavy, black, velvet-like cloak fastened with a simple silver clasp around his throat.  His face is ghastly pale with paper thin skin.  His hair is long, thin, and completely white, almost blending in with his neck.  His nose is as pointy as a dagger, and his large mouth is drawn down in a permanent grimace.  His eyes are the most commanding feature in his cold face.  They are abnormally large orbs on either side of his nose.  Their color cannot be discerned, for one moment they are black, the next moment their cloudy depths change to a grayish-blue or green.  Yet the hue of Kaedman’s eyes has two constant characteristics.  When he whispers his commands or commits an evil act, the shade of his eyes grows as dark as a cold midnight sky.  When his anger is aroused, their hue changes to a grotesque dark green with brief flashes of yellow light that glimmer through their foggy depths.  He moves in an agonizingly slow manner.  His soft, black slippers allow him to shuffle along, shrinking it seems ever nearer to the ground with every step.  His cloak billows softly as he walks, stirring the air and leaving the scent of approaching death in the nostrils of all whom he passes.

The Light-Hearted Lorien:

            The beautiful Princess Lorien is the unfortunate prisoner of the evil Kaedman.  Lorien has a lovely, slender form and creamy skin, flushed with healthy color.  Her face is heart shaped, with a small rosy mouth which spreads into a soft smile when she laughs.  Her eyes are an unusual deep turquoise color and are framed with long, dark eyelashes.  Her thick, shiny auburn tresses curl around her face and then fall in wavy folds down to her waist.  Lorien wears a simple dress with a bodice of royal blue velvet and a gauzy skirt of azure.  Her crown has no jewels or precious stones, but is made purely of silver and forms an intricate band of silver vines and flowers around her head.  Her petite pink slippers leave her free to flit about more like a butterfly than a princess.  Her light step seems to be always in danger of developing into a dance.  Her laugh is both infectious and unpretentious, and the light in her eyes when she is joyful makes you catch your breath for the beauty of young innocence.

The Fairy Aeria:

            The soul of the evil Kaedman is put into the unfortunate Aeria and she becomes possessed with evil.  The once lovely features of her face are now twisted into a cold, unresponsive mask.  Her rosy cheeks and lips are faded to white and her mouth is pulled down like that of the sorcerer.  Her fair hair no longer shines with health.  Her pale pink dress and shoes are tattered and dirty, and her once astoundingly gorgeous wings of glittering gold are stripped from her shoulders, leaving only a few silken shreds trailing from her back.  Aeria moves in sharp and quick movements of her legs.  The only other limbs that move are her arms, which often spring up to her chest with her fingers curled into claws, tearing at the neckline of her dress.  The only sign of real life or goodness comes from her eyes.  Her hazel eyes, shining with light, look the same as always, showing that she is not completely overcome by evil.
