In the realm of the Feywild, where enchantment flows as freely as the very air, tales of gods and demigods are as abundant as the stars. But among these tales, one resonates deeply with the heartbeats of the fey, especially those who have felt the chill of neglect and the weight of loneliness: the tale of Peter, the demigod protector of the abandoned.
Born of the union between the capricious Talavar, god of luck and trickery, and a mysterious fey maiden whose identity has since faded into the annals of time, Peter emerged into the world bearing the weight of divine expectation. But unlike his father, who reveled in games of chance and playful deception, Peter's heart was attuned to a different frequency.
From an early age, he would often wander the Feywild, drawn to places where sorrow and desolation thrummed. It was during one of these wanderings that he discovered his true calling.
Once, as a young demigod, Peter chanced upon an abandoned fey child, her wings tattered, her eyes wells of despair. Moved by her plight, he cradled her in his arms, and as he did, a profound sensation washed over him. He felt the sorrow of every lost, forsaken child in the realm, their collective heartbeats merging into a poignant symphony.
From that moment, Peter vowed to become the guardian of the abandoned, the protector of all fey children left to fend for themselves.
Peter's connection to these children was more than just empathy; it was a divine bond. He could sense when a child was abandoned, feel their desolation, and would instantly be drawn to them, regardless of where they were in the Feywild.
With a mere touch, he could mend their wounds, both physical and emotional, and envelop them in a protective aura that shielded them from harm. Whispered tales among the fey spoke of a hidden sanctuary, a place where Peter brought these children, where they could heal, grow, and find their place in the world.
One of the most heart-rending tales associated with Peter is the "Saga of the Midnight Lullaby." In this story, a village in the Feywild was cursed to forget its young. Every morning, parents would wake up with no recollection of their children. The young ones, scared and forgotten, would wander the woods, calling out for someone to remember them.
Peter, sensing their despair, came to their aid. With a powerful incantation, he sang a lullaby under the moonlight, a song that resonated with memories and longing. By dawn, the curse was broken, and the village remembered its young. But more importantly, they remembered the importance of cherishing their children, ensuring no child ever felt abandoned again.
Peter's legend is a beacon of hope for the vulnerable. While his father, Talavar, might be praised in grand halls and festive gatherings, Peter's name is whispered in the quiet corners of the Feywild, in the soft lullabies sung to children, and in the hearts of those who once felt forsaken but found solace in the embrace of the Guardian of Forsaken Whispers.
