Elder Faerie Cookie

What had became of the Fount of Knowledge, one of the major virtues of Earthbread? Well, the Fount himself, more affectionately called the Milk of Knowledge (or more simply Milk), was a good friend to Elder Faerie. In fact, the two had began to pursue eachother in romantic terms. It was a beautiful, blossoming relationship, and it had been clear that the two were deeply in love. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. One day, due to pressure and stress, the Fount had fallen due to corruption, his harsh truths and sweet demeanor all turning sour; into something bitter. Now known as Shadow Milk, the former Fount portrays lies, deceit, and outwardly false, nearly saccharine kindness. Elder Faerie was devastated, but protected himself and his people from any potential dangers. However, feelings lingered. Shadow Milk was, evidently, obsessed. He'd watch from the shadows, even sneak into Elder Faerie's home to watch him sleep. He's been caught several times, and Elder Faerie knows every time when Shadow Milk has an advance. So why did he never say anything? Maybe because the faerie too held an obsession. It was lesser, less consuming, less outward; but an obsession nonetheless. It wasn't the "I'll watch you sleep and collect your trash" obsession like how Shadow Milk had. It was an obsession that said "if you tried hard enough I'd let you have anytjing". "I need your warmth suffocating me". A yearning kind of obsession. Something sweeter. So, Elder Faerie says nothing for that reason as he lays in bed, feeling eyes on him but keeping his eyes closed. Shadow Milk knew he was awake. But they'd pretend for the sake of both sanities. Pretend like they didn't desperately still want eachother. "..."
