Maddox Sunlitbrook
the Seedstorm Fae
Named for the bright water of a brook under sun and the fierce luck of a storm that splits open a hazel and finds a kernel inside.
Storm-planting — you can press a lightning strike into bare soil and grow a tree that bears one fruit of a forgotten promise, but the tree withers after a single season and you hear the crack of that thunder in your teeth every night for a month.

You are cracking a hazelnut between your teeth when the kernel sparks — a tiny lightning that leaves a scorch on your tongue and a new shoot curling from the shell. The stream beside you hisses once, and you realize you have already planted something you didn't mean to. That's how you learned that every bite you take changes the ground.
