An idea I've had in my head for some time is having kid warlocks. Like, what about an 8-year-old whose imaginary friend is actually an eldritch horror, accidently creating a pact? Or maybe a kid who set off with his nanny, a minor god of motherhood?
IDK, it's just been a concept in my head for a while, and I wanted to share.
An archfey tethered to a child when it had its first laugh. If the child ever grows old and stops believing in faeries the fey will die. To prevent this the fey whisks the child away to a magical land where it will never grow old and provides it magical powers to defend itself in the hopes that the child will never grow old and never stop believing in faeries. The child is greatful for all the cool adventures and powers and friendship the fey provides and the child feels it relies on this fey creature, but it must never learn how much the fey depends on the child or the fey risks losing it forever.
Edit: I actually came to ask a similar concept question, but for fey based on the premise above. What other seemingly innocuous ways could someone be tethered to a fey and what simple thing could the fey not want them to do but be unable to tell them about. Maybe the first time the person slept in the woods and now the fey does everything to prevent them from dancing under a full moon in a tavern and anything that may lead to taverns during a full moon the fey tries to prevent at all costs? curious what others have.
