Golden Fae

The Fae have lived on Earth since before humans learned to make tools…

… oldest, and most enigmatic, are the ‘Golden Fae’. The ‘Golden Ones’ are the elite Fae… they it was who were charged by the even more enigmatic ‘Elder Ones’ to survey and secure the Earth for the arrival of all the other Fae…

… these creatures are the cause of all human myth about ‘angels’… even the legend of Icarus is based on a tragedy that really happened, but to an elite Fae, not a human…

… Golden Fae are ethereally beautiful…

… far too beautiful for mortals to behold, which is why humans evolved a mechanism in their minds that usually prevents them from seeing these astonishing beings. When they do see them, the story is always the same… one of madness caused by impossible desire and sheer lack of any kind of affinity between the races. Even when Golden Fae genuinely try to relate to humans, it’s impossible, for they, themselves, cannot help the strength of their affect on them, and things almost always end badly for the human… the few times they don’t end badly, the result is a human who is no longer totally ‘human’…

… humans have lusted after gold since before they even knew how to remove it from the earth… not because of anything intrinsic in the metal, but because of their encounters with these mind-blastingly gorgeous, golden beings.
