Nobody understands Eileen's actions (and the Queen privately believes Eileen doesn't either!). Eileen's marriage is likely to be the biggest cause of gossip for decades to come. Not that Eileen herself would care. She was the biggest source of gossip when in the Kingdom. Everybody followed her dragon killing exploits thanks to the over enthuasiastic reporting by Roherum on the Fairy News Network. Eileen herself disliked Roherum's style but saw the use of having her actions reported. It would hopefully gain her support, show the Queen and her Council she was serving the Kingdom despite Brankaresh's hints she wasn't, and even Eileen was not immune to a bit of praise now and again.
Life in the Fairy Kingdom's villages generally doesn't change that much, which is how most of the villagers themselves prefer it. Change is unsettling. Humans are destructive parasites. So the news that their beloved fairy godmother, Eileen, firstly changed her name to a human one and then went and defected to marry a human male caused shockwaves throughout the entire realm. It was generally considered the biggest news since Queen Gwendolyn was eaten alive by a conveniently placed dragon. And most villagers understood the necessity of the dragon given the late Queen's tendency to cause scandals and to neglect her regal duties.

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
