"...Are you alright?"

Permalink

"I do not think I like the fey." Her voice is clipped and curt.

Permalink

"Many people don't."

Permalink

"Has one ever been killed?"

Permalink

"Not that I've heard."

Permalink

"First time for everything."

Permalink

"Well, if anyone can manage it..."

Permalink

"Your support is appreciated."

Permalink

She laughs. "It's a pity she was an ass. I would've liked to learn a few things."

Permalink

"You'll have to take a train ride without me."

Permalink

"They're not all that bad, but I'll take it into consideration."

Permalink

"Mm."

Did any of the books have information about the fey?

Permalink

One has speculations, but the 'things that come on trains to be creepy at you' are a relatively new phenomenon, and not much is known. The one with speculations was apparently written by someone who remembered his conversation with one, though, and contains a Dialogue chapter.

Permalink

And what does the Dialogue consist of?

Permalink

It seems the author was asking questions about a place he was going, and where to find what he was looking for! The answers are actually useful, albeit puzzling and indirect.

The fey was asking about why the author wanted what he wanted, and the last question is scratched out.

Permalink

Hmm. She wouldn't put it past these things to feed on desires, or some other such nonsense.

Permalink

The author's pretty sure they just feed on knowledge, and does include warnings of those who 'looked too deeply' - apparently some things shouldn't be known, and people have been known to be inflicted with a creeping madness. Usually after repeatedly seeking out the fey for long conversations.

Permalink

Bah.

How much longer is the trip?

Permalink

It finishes by dinner of that day, the train pulling into New York City's massive main station.

Permalink

Good. She's had quite enough of it for now.

Permalink

"An impressive edifice," Eliana comments, looking around.

Permalink

"It really is! This was the first city to Break, you know," she comments, off-handed. "The first that fell into the Void."

Permalink

"Somehow I am not exactly surprised by that."

Permalink

She laughs. "Was it very strange in your world, too?"

Permalink

"It had a bit of a reputation. Home to some of the strongest powers."
