Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/feed/22965 In a land where magic is illegal, Faye is a homeless half-fairy, roaming the streets of Acren in search of money to steal. Until she comes across a man on the run who needs her help. Despite the man's mysterious past, Faye follows him, in hopes of finding a better life, in a place where she doesn't have to hide her identity. However, the journey en Penana Runaway with Faye Epilogue https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/32 The three found themselves thrown onto hard ground. But it was a strange, black ground Faye had never seen before. She ran her finger over the rough texture, then scrunched her nose at a foul scent wafting from somewhere behind her. Straightening, she turned around and spotted a green container, large enough to fit an estin in. A plethora of bla Thu, 06 Aug 2020 23:42:04 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/31  "You imbeciles!"Faye's eyes popped open. The sun had barely rose, so she squinted at the scene that awoke her. Lyon stood in front of Kern and Roark, a plate in hand."I told you I wanted sausage!""Nobody brought sausage," Kern said. "We only have bacon.""Demons to bacon!" Lyon snapped. "I ask one thing of you-" Thu, 06 Aug 2020 23:40:22 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/30 It wasn't long before the sun set. The group stopped, and settled in for the night. Supervised by Lyon, all the guards set up camp around a fire. They had tied Jyri and Faye to a nearby tree, and Nephele to a chair next to Lyon's carriage. Kern and Roark kept a watchful eye on her. The smell of roasted meat filled the air, causing Faye's mouth t Mon, 03 Aug 2020 23:54:41 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/29 Faye managed to find her way back to Nephele's pond after night had fallen. She hadn't stopped, and had to take a long route away from trails, to stay hidden the entire time. The journey itself took far longer than it should have, but eventually she caught the smell of smoke and followed the scent to the pond. There was a small campfire lit, and Sat, 01 Aug 2020 01:37:11 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/28 A week went by, and the three managed to save up enough to start searching for permanent living quarters. They had spent the past several days staying at an inn."We finally get a day off tomorrow," Jyri said on their way to the mines. "We can sleep in, and then try finding a place for rent.""Sounds like a plan," Faye said. Though h Fri, 31 Jul 2020 04:32:33 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/27 Faye had taken a nap, and the arrival of Jyri and Ran woke her up. Blinking, she sat up, rubbing an eye as Jyri took a seat next to her. Ran sat on Jyri's other side, looking visibly uncomfortable."Are you feeling better?" Jyri asked.Faye nodded. "Did you find out anything?""Not much," Jyri said. "At least, not at first." Sat, 25 Jul 2020 22:04:07 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/26 They started their new life by finding a nice spot in the woods to sleep for the night. But Faye woke up the next morning from a loud shrieking sound. Her eyes shot open and landed on Jyri, who paced wildly in circles."I can't find Ran!" he shouted, pulling at his hair. "He's gone, and I don't know where, but he's-"Before Jyri coul Sat, 25 Jul 2020 00:52:44 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/25 The next day, the three stumbled across a city, and made their way through crowds of chattering people. The scent of food emitted from various pubs they passed, making Faye's stomach rumble."What do you think?" Jyri asked."It doesn't seem much different than cities in Vustaria," Faye said."A city's a city." He nudged Faye. " Fri, 24 Jul 2020 00:35:02 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/24 Shortly after the episode with the nymph, Jyri became dead-set on finding some sort of water source. They'd wandered aimlessly for what felt like miles. "There's got to at least be a river somewhere," Jyri said.Faye winced, stopping to rub at her sore leg. "Can we just give up on it?" "No! I've never been this filthy in my l Wed, 22 Jul 2020 00:46:45 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/23 Faye had awoken the next morning, feeling as though she had been trampled by a hodag. She kept drifting in and out of sleep, mainly due to Corvin's snores jerking her out of dreams every hour. And now, she followed Lavina and Kirsten through the forest, Ran at Lavina's side. Jyri walked next to Faye, frowning at the pair, while Corvin brought up Sun, 19 Jul 2020 23:49:44 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/22 Faye stumbled into Ran as soon as she left the room, but he barely noticed. Instead, he stood in place, mouth agape. Faye followed his gaze to find Jyri sitting on an old barrel, chatting with Lavina and Kirsten with a grin on his face. The way he leaned toward Lavina made her wonder if he ever, truly got over her. Faye looked at Ran, whose expr Sat, 18 Jul 2020 16:15:05 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/21 Faye ran on until she couldn't run anymore, and bent over, catching her breath. She looked over her shoulder, but no one had found her.Yet.They had to have discovered her escape by now. Her first thought was to find Jyri, but she had no idea where to begin. She didn't even know where she was. The woods were unfamiliar to her. Thu, 16 Jul 2020 04:47:59 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/20 The lynx, now a man, fell to his stomach, his pale-brown hair covering his face. Jyri landed on top of him, arms still around his body. "Get him clothes!" Jyri shouted to the two doctors, both of whom stared in surprise. From the door, Roark wolf-whistled."We don't have any," Dr. Kirksen said."A gown!"The two doctors continu Tue, 14 Jul 2020 02:28:46 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/19  Synchronized snores woke Faye up. A sliver of light came through the only window in the room, just enough for her to see her surroundings. She tried peeking through the bars, but couldn't see anything to the side. The source of the snores came from where Kern and Roark had been seated, so Faye figured it was safe to assume the two had fallen as Sat, 11 Jul 2020 15:36:12 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/18 After a few minutes that felt like hours, there was a knock on the door. Dr. Kirksen opened it, and two guards walked in, a man in between them. Faye couldn't see the man, but the three stopped in front of Lyon, who blocked her view. "Dr. Ruska, I have a very special patient for you to meet." Faye didn't have to see Lyon's face to tell he was gr Fri, 10 Jul 2020 00:34:54 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/17 Jyri spent most of the day in that room, and Faye gave him his space. They headed out after their morning breakfast. Lavina, Kirsten, and Corvin opted to stay with the group, as they enjoyed helping them. So Faye and Jyri struck out alone."If we hurry, we might make it to Wizard's Point by the end of the day," Jyri said, map in hand. Sat, 04 Jul 2020 18:00:10 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/16 Faye awoke to voices but kept her eyes closed. Blankets surrounded her, and she stretched her wings out from under her back. Her wings. Faye's eyes popped open, and she lifted the blankets up, glancing under. Someone had undressed her, and put her into some sort of gown with an open-back. Faye shivered. Her eyes swept around the candle-lit room. Fri, 03 Jul 2020 00:47:06 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/15 After purchasing a map, the two headed out on foot. Progress would be much slower without Holger, but it turned out they were closer to the border than they thought. And Jyri recovered from the heart arrow's effects sooner than expected. By the time they left the city, he was beaming."A few more days," he said, hitching up his pack. "Just Wed, 01 Jul 2020 01:41:52 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/14 The next day, Kirsten led them out of the forest, and into a city. Nobody in the group knew the name, but they went straight to the nearest market, and stocked up on food. At one point, Faye caught Jyri holding Lavina's hand, and rolled her eyes. It hadn't even been a full day. When she pointed this out to him, he made a speech about how she'd u Sun, 28 Jun 2020 21:09:28 +0000 Runaway with Faye https://www.penana.com/story/22965/runaway-with-faye/issue/13 The three strangers stared silently, and Faye stared back. Jyri stared, but at one of the girls. She had red hair, with a dazed look in her eyes. The other one had dark hair, and wore a frown with her black dress.After several seconds of awkward silence, the redhead spoke."You have an arrow in your arm."Jyri turned his head Sat, 27 Jun 2020 01:16:58 +0000
