ThatSkyrimGuy: Aela also appears in the TF, though not until the later chapters. I have always found her to be one of my interesting characters to write about, because she is such a complex person.
You will also see her ability to commune with the world in the TF as well, when Teresa starts doing it. Though she does not have the experience or magical skills as Aela does. It is not really a special gift, just a byproduct of how they practice their religion: Witchcraft. In the TF, it is something all Valenwood-born Bosmer naturally do as part of their spirituality, as well as anyone else who follows that path. Just how deep of an experience they have depends on the person of course.
Thanks for the nit. Those are the types that tend to slip by me, where it is not a misspelling, but something missing.
Grits: I am glad you liked it. That story was inspired by what you said over in the TF about Aela maybe moving out of her hermitude on Bawnwatch Island and getting more involved in the world. That got me thinking, if Aela won't go to the mountain, maybe the mountain should go to her? So I decided to force her into dealing with people.
Acadian: Aela is indeed caught in a nasty circle. Being around people exposes her to their prejudices, and not being around them only feeds their prejudices. Sometimes there is just no happy option.
You had me laughing about Rocky.
What a perfect name! Or maybe he could be
The Rock Dwayne Johnson.
haute ecole rider: I always think of Aela when I go to Bawnwatch now too. It's too bad the island is so small in the game, otherwise I would put a house there.
Writing about Aela tends to bring out a lot of her experiences with prejudice. It is something that she can never completely escape from so long as she is around people, and is a major force in her behavior
I do have one more chapter left in the TF. After that I do not plan on any more. I am not sure when I will get it done though, as I have an idea for an Aela and Ungarion prequel in my head right now that I think I will get down on pixels first.
