The Fair Folk. You know they're out there. You know they're out there. The question is whether or not you let yourself believe it. Because here's the thing: I know a guy who knows. Who knows the truth. Who sees between the lines.
They just call him 'Professor.'
Or doctor, since he is a doctor. Yes, that kind of doctor. Except he's a doctor for mythical beings. A vampire with tootchache? A griffin with a broken wing? Dragonbirth? Dwarf plague? You call Professor Harchford.
The series is told from the point of view of Daniel, the professor's apprentice. Also along for the ride is Crystal, a Winged Humanoid and somewhat Broken Angel who formerly studied under the professor.
For other works this Troper, Maltor Drey, will never finish, see Histories Of Qarkunta and The Last Heroes.
Tropes!
- Badass Longcoat
- The Fair Folk: Our Elves Are Different, Our Vampires Are Different (very), and Our Dwarves Are All the Same. All Trolls Are Different, Our Mermaids Are Different, and Our Fairies Are Different games. Lalala Everybody now!
- Goggles Do Nothing: Averted, since you need the goggles to see mythics. Unless you have second sight.
- Insistent Terminology: It's professor, thank you very much. Not doctor.
