022 – Tooth Fairy

In the bygone age of Magic all things that could exist in potential finally found a way in. They were always there, skimming the subtle edges of reality, almost complete, almost manifest. Forces of directed belief given form, name and story, but never bodies. But when the primordial magic erupted and cascaded over the lands, the thin membrane of possibility got stretched even thinner and some of such entities managed to slip through. At first, many found themselves fulfilling the roles that the minds of mortals given them… But once you become real, tossed into the harsh reality of life, bound by its limits, you can quickly turn a little jaded towards the role pushed onto you. Such a thing happened to the tooth fairies, which didn’t even understand the reason behind their work or its importance. They quickly turned wild, savage, brutal, relying on their swiftness and terribly sharp teeth set in powerful jaws to strip the flesh of any prey they found, eager in their frenzy to attack things much bigger they they are. Nimble, swift and sharp, the Tooth Fairies survived the passing of time by gathering in savage clans, travelling and feeding together, becoming a threatening nuisance to any community unfortunate enough to house them as unwelcomed guests.
