Keriosak

The Keriosak are the Beings of Daring in the West and another type of Fae in the Sorgae system. They are the Hounds who run on Kur's Wild Hunt. Sorgae Witches have an agreement with them, and Ariadne holds their reins and mediates between them and we Witches. They perform tasks on the astral at our request, but as with any agreement, there is a price, and so entering into their debt is not to be done lightly. They are fond of meat and red wine.

Despite referring to them as "hounds," their appearance to us is similar to the tree spirits in the Anime movie "Princess Mononoke;" small stature, round heads, pale skin, and large round eyes. As with the Hurralya, it is no coincidence if this description sounds familiar. Also like the Hurralya, their apperance and presence can be frightening. But so long as they have not been called against you, it is unlikely they intend harm.

I've never directly asked for their help, but I've seen them in my childhood home. My younger brother and a friend and I called them "monkeys," and played with them in the basement. One night when I was older, I woke up to use the bathroom, but had to wait as one of my parents was using it. I looked into the living room, and one was lying on the couch, watching me. It was roughly three feet tall, dressed in black, and made no movement and no sound. It was probably after that incident when I was taught to tell them they didn't need to frighten me to get my attention.

Being that one of my Directions is West, I have a pre-existing relationship with Kur, and I consider myself a writer and therefore indebted to the Muse, I wouldn't be surprised if it indicates that I have a particular connection with the Keriosak as well. What that could be, however, remains to be seen.
