Origin: Scandinavia
Description: The Neck is a water
faerie who hang out in rivers and lakes and plays the harp. He is handsome with blond hair, beard and
green eyes. He wears a red cap. Like many fae, he is afraid of iron.
Disposition: He demands a human sacrifice every year. (What he'll do if he doens't get it is unclear.) It doesn’t matter that he takes pity on young
men that have been spurned by their lovers.
He’s still a bit of a shit.
I haven't heard of the Neck before. Faeries are so endlessly fascinating...and deadly.
ReplyDeleteI know! Some people snicker when I tell them I write about faeries. I want to tell them my faeries will rip their faces off! But instead I just bite my tongue.
DeleteWhoa, talk about your dark side! Great post.
ReplyDeleteThe dark faeries are always more fun!
DeleteI think I dated him. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Only difference is mine had auburn hair and played a guitar. My mother used to refer to him as the "Red Headed Bastard." She didn't like him.
DeleteAn interesting fairy for sure!
