YoCP Episode 1: I am Alea
Christmas. The ‘big one’ for humans - Lights, displays, smells of cookies. To us Changelings it's a bittersweet time.
It marks the anniversary of The Unravelling, where we were unveiled and lost our families - “The Year Without Christmas".
Every year it gets slightly better. I guess the sting of being orphaned fades the less we remember of our human families - the passing of time and all that. A black drop, which once filled the puddle, has now been diluted by the cleansing rains of christmas spirit.
I can hardly remember their faces anymore. My mom, my father... my brother. Their names lost to time. My own 'human' name faded by time as well. I don't get that jittery hearing it anymore. Maybe It's finally losing its meaning to me. I guess that is a good thing. I am not that name anymore - I am Alea.
