Description
Feeling quite fae at the moment. Partly inspired by reading "Tithe" by Holly Black..kelpies are shape shifting water horses, who kill the people who ride them by dragging them out into the water and drowning... faery isn't nice!

quote from the book
"The kelpie strode onto the shore and shook its great mane, spraying her and Corny with glittering droplets of swamp water. Kaye held up her hands, but it hardly helped.
'what do you seek?' the horse spoke, its voice soft but deep.
Kaye took a deep breath. 'I need to know how to glamour myself and I need to know how to control my magic. Can you teach me?'
'What will you give me, girl-child?'
'what do you want?'
'Perhaps that one would like to ride on my back. I would teach you if you let him ride with me.'
'so that you can kill him? No way.'
'I wonder about death, I who may never know it. It looks much like ectasy, the way they open their mouths when they drown, the way their fingers dig into your skin. Their eyes are wide and startled and they thrash in your hands as though with an excess of passion."
Kaye shook her head, horrified.
"You can hardly blame me. It is my nature. And it has been a very long time."
