[ WP ] Everyone fears the fairies , even though they 're naive and minute . Why are they so scared ?

You know to fear the things that bite and claw. Those have an obvious fear about them, they threaten you and scare you much like they should. A werewolf can rip your throat out. Demons will steal your soul and everything else you care about. These are obvious dangerous though, designated by their appearance. 
 
 The fae are different. Fairies beckon and sing and laugh to the stray humans that trundle through their forests. You ’ ll do well not to step off the path. A fairy, no matter how naïve and miniscule they appear, is one of the forest ’ s most dangerous creatures. Even some of the most terrifying creatures fear to tread where fae flit. 
 
 You ’ ve seen them before. Little creatures, small as hummingbirds. Some are smaller, some are larger. All are faries, of the Fair Folk. Glittering wings with dazzling smiles, always done up as if there ’ s some sort of majestic ball soon to come. After all, beauty can be entrancing enough to lure prey in. 
 
 If you step off the path, you ’ ll never return. Their kin, the hidden ones, will entrance you further with their magics to keep you and drag you away. These fairies are no joke, they hide themselves because only beauty can entrance something as vain as a human into their grasp. 
 
 Have you seen the fish in the water? The scavengers that will strip the flesh off a creature? That is a fairy. They hunt in packs, with one Beauty and many Followers, I ’ ve seen a pack as large as fifty. You see, the fae aren ’ t herbivores. They ’ re carnivores and you, youngling, are meat. 
 
 And compared to what the demons will do to your soul, your energy of being, the fae are much worse since they leave not even the soul to rest, ripping that apart to fuel their magics. 
 
 Do not stray from the path, young child, for the fae are there and watching for their next meal.
