Was she attacked by one?

Probably not. She seems to have been burnt by something. Probably something corrosive, or maybe she somehow got her face set on fire. Whatever the case, shes fairly harmless and just quietly pets Ares. Soon, a couple other iron fey come over to pet him too. Theyre all equally or more injured- one is missing all his face but an eye, and another has lost almost all of her limbs. Every iron fey here is horribly wounded.

What had happened?

Isiea isnt sure, but her guess is theyre probably outcasts. Its clear not all iron fey are mean- maybe these ones were thrown out because of that.

Maybe.

Ares wasn't too worried about it, he didn't mind the attention

Theyre all careful to not burn him. Interestingly enough, not all of them are actually made out of iron. Some ar made from other silver metals, such as silver and nickel.

Ares didn't notice, but that was interesting.

Isiea notices, and she finds that interesting. A lot of them seem to be alloys of different metals. Some are mottled yellow with gold, and others appear rusted from having copper. Its really interesting, and shes definitely going to research a little about it later, but thats not her main focus right now.

What was her main focus?

To force convince Dealkeeper to get Lise and Ash un-banished.
