So you see, there are some drawbacks to living in the wilderness!:P
True. :P But I wouldn't change it for the world. Here's a quote for you...
Legend says that a fey exiled from faerie will wither and fade, die. That's both true and untrue...most fey can manage in a city; they might not be happy, but they can survive. But part of them does wither, that part that knows that not all the butterflies you see are actually butterflies. That part that has seen the night sky filled with a rushing of wings like a hurricane wind, wings of flesh and scale to make humans whisper of dragons and demons; that part that has seen the sidhe ride by on horses made of starlight and dreams. That part begins to die.
It's from A Caress of Twilight by Laurell K Hamilton. Granted, I'm not one of the fey, but. :) I can't live in a city. I can't even live in a town. I can feel the people, pressing in on all sides, stifling me, and I'm screaming and I can't breathe, can't breathe and it hurts... But I accept that. :)
