had once spread mischief and evil through the lands.  Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, they would attack humans and ruin crops if offerings were not made to them.  They grew more and more powerful and over time they began to demand blood sacrifices.  That was when the Witch king of the time felt something had to be done to stop them.  He called to his Derwydd, his most powerful advisor, and they made a plan to force the Fae back into their own realm for they weren’t from our lands.
     
    “This ancient king tracked the Fairy king with magic when he was transformed into his animal shape, which was a black steed.  The Witch king was able to bind him long enough to climb on his back and when the Fairy king finally fought off the binding spell, he bucked and reared and tried everything to get the Witch king off his back.  For three days and nights, the Witch king held on as the Fairy king became weaker and weaker and finally admitted defeat.  It was then that the two kings forged a blood oath; an oath that could never be broken for whoever broke it would die instantly.
     
    “The oath stated that the Fairy king would round up all the Fairies within three nights time and bring them back into their own realm and they would never return unless the Fairy king, who could return in his animal form for three nights every year, could convince a true blooded princess to fall in love with him and agree to lay with him to produce a child.  The child born from this union would have the power to break the bindings holding the Fae in their own realm letting them once again join this one and wreak havoc on humans.
     
    “For many generations, no females were born in the royal lineage.  Kings married commoners and magic was used to insure that only sons were born to make it impossible for the binding to be lifted.  The princess was the first daughter born to a king and queen for hundreds of years and the Fairy king had seized his chance to finally break the bonds.
     
    “When the princess’s father explained what had happened to the Derwydd of the time, the royal council, or Witan, was called together to determine what to do.  By every vote except the king’s, it was determined that the baby must die before the Fairy king came back to claim it.  With a heavy heart, the King explained this to the princess.  She screamed and cried and begged, but it was no use.  The decision had been made and the most powerful Witch of the Witan was brewing a potion that would cause her to miscarry the baby she had already grown to love with all her heart.  The ceremony would be the next morning.  The princess was locked in her room that night with two guards at her door.
     
    “The princess was determined to save her baby.  She built up her courage and she magically opened the door.  The guards were ready for her and they came towards her ready to repel her magic with amulets given to them by the Witan.  But the princess wasn’t going to use magic.  She let the guards get close to her and then she pulled her athame from the folds of her nightgown.  She used this sacred knife that was never supposed to be used to draw blood to stab the guards giving her the chance to escape.  That single action crossed her over from being a white Witch to a black one.  Once it was discovered what she had done, she would be hunted by members of the Witan and sentenced to death.  There was no possibility that the princess would ever be able to return to her home ever again.
     
    “The princess fled taking a horse from the stable for the garage was too well lit and guarded for her to get one of the cars her parents kept.  She rode the horse hard through the woods for miles and miles until she couldn’t push him any more and then she set out on foot.  She travelled like this for days, keeping to the woods and back country as much as possible.  She scrounged for food and slept in the open air.  By the fifth day, she was filthy and weak and had
