SciFi and Fantasy Art: Moonlight Magic24x20inches... 8 scans ^.^;;... If anybody cares, there's a bigger version of the pic HERE
This is a picture of Onedia with her brother Erufin. Since I already got an Erufin description, I'll concentrate on Onedia.
Her name is a combination of 'orenda' (an Algonquin word for 'magic') and 'Medea' (my favorite female in mythology). She is the Mistress of Illusions and Queen of the Tricksters (malevolent faeries); Goddess of dreams, visions, magic, illusion, curses, fantasy, beauty, and unattainable love. She tends to fall in love with unattainable people (including a god of destruction and chaos who didn't care much for romance), and this instance is no exception.
When her brother Erufin was born, her gift to him was blessings of beauty, charm, and the arts. She practically raised him while her sisters were out ruling over the seasons, and ended up falling in love with him. Now before you scream inscest let me remind you that these kinds of relationships are the norm within a pantheon in various mythologies.
She never let him know how she felt, for he looked up to her as a big sister. Either way, their love was never meant to be because Erufin had taken a vow of chastity so that he would not ever try to overthrow his father. Onedia was always over-protective of him, and woe to those who insulted her brother or tried to flirt with him in any way. For she was a jealous and two-faced goddess, having little patience with mortals. Though warm and beautiful to those she favors, she is quick to anger and her wrath is terrible and cruel.
Here she is guiding a parade of trickster pretending to be faeries. It's drawn in marker and pencil. | |

| 4 Aug 2004 | Sarah | I don't mean to offend anyone but: Onedia could 'come onto' Erufin because her desire was so great she couldn't hold it in. Erufin manages to escape with his vow still intact and runs away to the mortal realm with a spell cast over him so that he couldn't be found by his sister through scrying. He meet up with a female half moon elf/half drow (looks more like moon elf)(no clue how that works out) who is running away from home because her mother wants her to be a priestess when she wants to be a warrior. And then assasins come and fire arrows at her and she runs into Erufin (and I mean literally runs into), 'arrows! run! for... your... life!'she huffs. Then after a few more hurried steps, she collapses. Now, Erufin, being a nice guy and all, hears the whistle of arrows comming from overhead, and picks up her limp form and runs swiftly (swifter than any cheetah) into the wild tangles of the forest.
Don't know where to go from there, but *shrug* I donno.

| 8 Jan 2006 |  Malisa 'Jasmine' Savanh | omg, i found the perfect poem for this!
Pierrot stands in the garden
Beneath a waning moon,
And on his lute he fashions
A fragile silver tune.
Pierrot plays in the garden,
He thinks he plays for me,
But I am quite forgotten
Under the cherry tree.
Pierrot plays in the garden,
And all the roses know
That Pierrot loves his music, --
But I love Pierrot.
