"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."
When the Queen of the Changelings refuses to stick her neck out for a dying soldier, Moulder’s passionate love drives her beyond convention to seek a deal with the dreaded Sorceress, who seems more interested in a fairy tale from long ago.

Fascinating. There are a lot of intriguing ideas here, from the Sorceress to changeling culture to their relationship with La Menor. Still, you probably would've been better served finding something to trim and completing the story. Even so, this was engrossing. I look forward to the rest. Good luck in the contest!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. It's great that you said it was engrossing. Shows I must be doing something right!
Apologies for the late response, but I took some time away from the site on purpose so I could write up a second submission without distractions. Now I've just submitted it, and so only just gotten around to replying. I hope that will explain (though not actually excuse) my tardiness.
I did want to trim it at first, but I just wasn't certain what to cut. I had at least a coherent arc for my efforts, though, so I thought I'd bite the bullet for the contest, at least, and leave the rest for afterwards. When I've finished it and figured out how to lay it out, that is.
I'll probably come back to this one once the contest is over, but I set no schedules. (It's a bit of a flaw of mine!)
so basicly the queen was turned into a breezie and just forgotten about? did moulder die?

Pretty much. It's the poetic irony of living in a kill-or-be-killed culture: to be turned into the weakest creature alive and left out in the cold. Can confirm Moulder didn't die, though. Just got knocked aside by Patella.
