forgottenmotleyWho are the Forgotten?
And I don't mean the homeless lost lives that live with them. They are merely forgotten, as opposed to The Forgotten. A big difference, you see.
The Forgotten are the things that live in darkness. The things that man created with their fears. Fear of death, the unknown, fire, passion, fate, the future, murder, thieves. Primal fears found and created when fire was untamed.
The Named Forgotten, the oldest, are very old. The newer ones can actually count how many centuries they've been alive.
The Blind King is the fear of death. The Ashling the fear of fire and passion. The Traveler the fear of the Unknown. But he doesn't travel much any more. He used to be the Lord of the Wilds and of the Hunt. If you look closely you can see the horns of a stag.
No one looks closely at the Ashling or the Blind King.
The Thief in the Night is the Blind King's son. The ultimate thief, he was reborn recently... if six hundred years is recent.
There is Here and There, a pair of twins who guard the Ways of the Forgotten. There and the Traveler are friendly together. For when you went there, you went to the unknown. Here and the Ashling are quite friendly as well. Here must tame the fires and make home, here, safe.
Every time they meet again, it is like a peacock showing off to peahen. Or so the Traveler tells me.
Here and There have been around since there were roads to travel.
The Fool, myself, has been around a long while. I've just changed faces. Much like the Piper or others of the folktales, as people change, we do too.
I'm just the latest in a long line of Motley Fools.
And that's just a bit about us.
