Ch 2 “On My Own”
Feeling the dart of my father’s gun sink into my thigh, I knew I had to fly hard. Ripping it from my flesh, I went into top speed. Knowing that going back now would mean a sure end for us all. I had to carry on and find help. I had 200 miles to fly and I had to move as quickly as possible. My top speed when my brother and I would race was a mile a minute. At 60 miles per hour, it would take at least 3 and a half-hours till I could reach eastern Oregon were my people lived.
I flew for what seemed like an eternity when I finally started to see the landscape change. Crossing over the Great Red Woods, Oregon, wasn’t much further away. I started to grow weary and fear started to grow more apparent in my mind. My flight pattern began to falter but I just kept pushing. Everything seemed to be going by so fast. Then I realized what was wrong. The cerium from my father’s gun was starting to take affect. I had to find some place to land.
Flying lower and slower, I found some thick wood and began to fall. Something seemed to catch me and gently the soft ground come into the senses. I didn’t even have time to think of my wings. I was over come immediately with sleep. But this sleep was unnatural and was inflicted with nightmares of what my mother and brother must be going through. I felt even in my dreams that I wasn’t completely alone.
I had been watching the girl with the fairy wings since she first crossed the Oregon border. She looked young and weary from a great distance of travel. There was something about this girl that my instinct kept telling me to stay close and watch out for her. As I continued to watch from a distance I understood why. Her flight pattern was faltering.
I hesitated knowing from training it was forbidden to help anyone that was a stranger to the area. Then I rose into the sky, my forest green wings catching the light of the moon causing them to shine with a proud radiance. The code of a guardian was to help those of the wings in trouble. This girl was winged and stranger or not that did not matter.
Her flying pattern was worsening and I had to be careful about when to approach. She flew lower and began to slow. Over a thick tree area, she fell very quickly. The impact would surly had killed her. I dove so I could get under her as to break her fall.
Coming back up under her I managed to catch her about twenty feet above the ground. Close up I noticed she was about my age and that she was fair in the face, with pale skin and long brunette hair full of tight curls. At about 5’1” she would be about average height for the fairy people.
Is she one of us? Who is this mysterious girl? Where did she come from?
Gently setting her down on a soft bed of ferns and moss. I decided to stay and watch over her while she slept. I could tell that her sleep was not natural and I feared that if danger approach that her instinct wouldn’t be able to warn her. Looking over her shoulder at her wings I noticed that they were flickering. The rainbow color was not as it had been in the beginning. Another color was starting to show through. Then suddenly, the color burst through with a magnificent shine.
Stunned I looked at the color. It was Blue! I was unable to understand this. Blue wings were wings of peace and a legendary color. Never before seen among our people. Was I really looking upon the girl that can bring peace to our people? But that cannot be! Only destiny could bring her bring to place like this.
Taking flight, I flew above the treetops and looked around. Then I realized that I was right. She had landed in the sacred land. The trees here bloom with white blossoms on Christmas night and as I watched, the land below me blossomed. All around us the world turned white. My questions had been answered and I knew what I had to do. Flying down by the girl with the blue legendary wings I was filled with a deep sorrow. Softly landing beside her I took the dagger I carried from my belt and raised it above the girls chest.
My destiny had been told to me once and I was destined to find the chosen one. But that was all the oracle was able to tell me, because there was an ambush in the temple. Everyone had been gassed and I alone made it out alive. Later, training camps for young boys were set up and we were taught to destroy the one with the legendary blue wings, the one that was supposed to bring together with human race. A wonderful dream shot down in a year. Now standing over this legendary being, I realized I couldn’t kill this young girl that was destined to bring peace among the warring fairies. She must be inexperienced in both magic and physical combat.
Yet right here and now I vow to protect her with my life. I will ask to become guardian of this legendary fairy. Putting my away, I picked up and carried her into the air. Once again the beautiful white blossoms shown brightly and then they started to glow with a golden light. When I noticed the girl in my arms was also glowing with a golden light.
She began to stir,
a natural spell of awakening.
Ch 3 “A New Found Friend”
“Hello. Who are you?”
I just had had the most horrible dream about my mother and brother. They had been being torn apart limb by limb. It made me shudder and then I remembered the boy.
“My name is Trinity, but I go by Trin because I think my name sounds like a girl’s name. Nothing against you or anything.”
“None taken. Were are we going?”
“We’re going to the temple of the lost souls.”
“Why do they call it the temple of lost soul?”
Trin’s fair face went from a pale pink to a deep crimson red. I regretted asking him the question, but I couldn’t take the words back. As I waited for his answer, I studied his finely carved features. His medium, short straight blond hair blew softly in the wind and he was a few inches taller then I. His thunder egg blue eyes were dazzling and hard to keep from looking at. There was a tenderness about them, yet there was also an inner secret that seemed just beneath the surface.
“Do you know who you are?”
“Yes.” I answered giggling. “My name is Serenity. I came to find help for my family. They were captured by my father.”
“Your father? Why would he capture his own people?”
I wasn’t sure if I could trust him with the explanation. So like him I changed the subject.
“Why are you helping me?”
“Because you have blue wings. You are the chosen one, and you are destined to bring the fairy people and humans together. But that is also a bad thing. See since you have the legendary blue wings our people will want to kill you.”
“But they aren’t blue.”
I watched Trin’s gaze shift from my eyes to my wings and a look of puzzlement pass over his gentle features.
“But they were!”
“Sure, whatever.” I couldn’t help but giggle at the look on his face.
“They were… Oh! Never mind! We’re almost there.”
Watching his eyes change from mine to the direction we were heading, I realized then that he was very attractive in the night air. Then a puzzled thought struck me. How did he know about my blue wings? I had never shown the true color of my wings. Ever since I was eleven years old they have been blue. How was he able to see through the spell that I had cast six years before we met?
Her wings were blue! I refused to accept anything else. I had watched her wings change colors before my eyes.
“You cast a spell on your wings, didn’t you?” I asked her still keeping my eyes straight ahead.
“How did you know?” she asked so quietly that I almost couldn’t hear her.
“It’s a spell that is forbidden amongst our people. See… the color of our wings are what defines us in our culture. My wings are forest green. Their color makes me a guardian, or a warrior for our people. Yours are blue and the color of the legendary fairy. Gold is the color of royalty. Though… we haven’t had any royalty since Queen Tranquility disappeared. Why do you hide the color of your wings? Where do you come from?”
She didn’t answer me. She seemed as though she were in shock.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Did I say something that upset you?”
“Its just my mother…”
With a golden light around her wings I watched as her blue wings were released from the spell that hide them. Then I realized there was something different about her wings from any I had ever seen. Looking closer I saw what it was. She had two colors in her wings. Outlining her blue wings was gold.
“Your royalty! But that would mean…”
“Yeah, my mother is Tranquility.”
“Now you don’t have to worry about your wings! If they were to kill you it would be considered treason!”
“Yeah, but that makes my brother heir to the thrown.”
“Your brother?”
“Yeah, he was captured trying to save my mother. Like I said they were captured by my father…and humans.”
I wanted to tell her everything about what had happened since the humans arrived here. Now o hear that humans had captured the Queen! The very people that killed all those in the temple that day!
I was worried about Trin after he found out that humans had captured my mother because he had gone cold and was shaking. There was something he was not telling me.
“Are you okay?” I asked a bit concerned.
“Huh? What?”
“You’re shaking.”
“Oh. I’m fine. We’re here.”
It was a dark and gloomy place. When he had told it was a temple I had imagined a grand place of marble and lit up so to shine with welcome and warmth. But it wasn’t. True it looked like a magnificent castle built in the highest and grandest tree in the all world. Yet, it was it was deserted. There was no light or warmth to the place at all. There was no one to be seen anywhere. I could sense that something had happened here.
“We’ll rest here tonight.”
“Here?”
“Yes. This is where your journey begins. Just as mine did here one year ago.”
“What happened I can sense something terrible happened here. Were you here when it happened?”
“Your right, something terrible did happen here and yes I was there. I come to the temple one year ago in hopes of finding out what destiny had in mind for me. So, my mom and I came here to the temple to ask the oracle my question.
She told me that I would one day find the legendary fairy. She was about to tell me more when humans attacked us. For so long we had remained hidden and happy here among the trees. But since that day the Wood hasn’t been safe.”
“What happened that day?”
“They came with their guns and their bombs. We were all flying, trying so hard to get away, but every time we tried they would shoot us down. We were helpless.
My mother came to me and told me she would help me escape through the window, and that no matter what happened I must get away. So we took our chance. Every shot fired missed us. Then a few feet from the window my mother was shot. I watched her fall and heard her words.
‘Fly Trin!! Don’t look back! You are our only hope! I Love You!’ I left her there. I went through the window and once I was out I turned and looked at my mother. There she bravely faced a tall man with curly hair and brad shoulders stood over her with a gun in hand. The room suddenly became still. My mother in a soft but bitterly prideful voice could be heard saying, ‘No matter what you do, you will never stop Trin from fulfilling his purpose Aime.’
‘I may not Ke, but you I will make sure to never see that day.’ With cold blue glaring eye, I watched as he pulled the trigger and watched as my mother was murdered. He pulled a mask over his face and signaled the men with him to do the same. He pulled the lid from the bottle he was holding and a deadly gas filed the room. Killing everyone left that may have been able to survive.
That’s what happened here that day. Now it’s up to you to bring our people together, humans and fairies alike finally united as one.”
“I’m glad to hear you don’t hate humans for what they have done to your family. It would make it seem like an impossible task if I had to do this alone.”
“I would be honored if you will allow me to be your guardian. I want to help in anyway possible. I don’t care what it takes to bring peace, but I do know the first part is forgiveness. Without that peace just can’t exist.”
The question surprised me. I didn’t know that I would have to have a guardian to become the chosen one. Then again it would be nice having company throughout this journey ahead. But I couldn’t help but ask why I would need one.
“Why would I need a guardian for? There really isn’t anything that could really hurt me, is there?”
“There are many things that you don’t even know exist. You also look like our inexperienced with both magic and physical combat. While you are dealing with fairies there is a lot you are going to have to be prepared for. This is not going to be an easy or short task. There is much to learn and that is why I am here. I will help you learn what you need to know and I will take care of the physical combat.”
“So you’ll teach me magic?”
“Yeah, your mother was known to be a mage. Not many fairies are that gifted with magic. But I’m known to be a fairly good mage myself.”
“What kind of magic will we begin with?”
“You usually start off with the easy spells like water, thunder, fire, and blizzard. Other simple spells include ones that can heal. The more complicated spells will have to wait.”
“Then lets get started!”
At that point in time I was only thinking of my family. I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of torture my father was putting them through.
‘I just hope they’re safe.’
would you please show me the the address ,so I can read it.
P.S.
I hope it's free
Arao, can't see why would you ask for the address when you can read it here. If you were reffering to Serenity's story. Anything people share here is for free, only thing one can pay is keep flames for themselves when they don't like what they read and some like to get a response from people who liked their work, so it's not going to cost you a penny.
Welcome to the forums btw :)

Thanks for your welcom.
It could still be a work in progress :)
It is still in the works. Please just be patient. :nod:
oh,I'm sorry .I don't know this.would like to wait,and have read the posted 3chapters ,like the words and stories.
Ch 4 “Imprisoned”
“I hope she’s okay.” I had been thinking about my sister since the moment I woke up. It’s been almost three weeks since we have seen her. I’m afraid that on her way home something happened. After all, she was hit by one of Amie’s stun darts.
“She is dear.”
Even though my mother constantly reassured me, I sometimes still heard her cry at night as she cast a spell of protection even though she knew it would not work over such a distance.
“Do you think she’ll come back with help?”
“Yes my dear. Your sister is strong and she will know what to do. Even though she is young she is still very wise. Sometimes or another they will come. She will find help and we will be rescued.”
“I hope your right. I know she will come but I fear it will be to late. I remember when we were young and played war with the human children, she would go and find help when the odds were against her she and no matter how bad things got she would always come out to be the winner.
“She does have a gift you know. You both do. I remember when her first encounter with human boys went wrong and you protected her. Your destiny showed through then. There is also another thing you should know before we are rescued. Take out your wings.”
Looking at my mother, puzzled I allowed my wings to appear.
“Look at them. What colors do you see?”
Looking at my wings I cold tell she wanted me to look closely. So, I did. Then I saw something that I had never seen before.
“There are two colors, gold outlining the forest green. You told me once that the forest green meant that I was a guardian of our people. Does that mean that the gold also means something too?”
“Yes, dear, it does. It means that you are royalty. You are the royal heir to the thrown of the fairy people.”
I was stunned. Heir to the thrown! How could this be? Nineteen years of living a normal life if hidden wings and human friends and loves. Yet now I’m just finding out that I’m not even a regular fairy at all not even close. I’m half human and half royal fairy!
“How can this be happening?”
“I’m sorry son. I wasn’t going to tell you. My time with the Fairies has long since past. I ran during the night a newly crowned queen three years before you were born. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you sooner and that you had to find out this way.”
“Anger filled my soul as I realized that if these things weren’t happening I would never have found out who I truly was.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I knew that she couldn’t see my eyes for they were behind my long bangs, but even so my voice was like ice.
“Because I didn’t want you to have to go through the life that I had to go through. I did what I that was best for you.”
“Don’t you think that I should have had the right to decide that for myself?” She didn’t answer me. I knew that she felt badly but I could not bring myself to so any sympathy.
“Now look were we are! If we had just returned to our own people we wouldn’t be in this situation!”
“I’m sorry okay! I thought I could protect you from the things that I went through growing up as fairy royalty! It’s not as wonderful as they make it out to be. I just didn’t want you growing up in a life without a childhood and fun. Don’t you see, I thought it was for the best?”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My mother was crying! She had never cried in front of me before. I felt a rush of guilt run through my veins. I had never taken the moment to think about what her life had been like growing up and what that life was like that she left behind.
“Mama, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry.” I wanted so much to be in the same cell as her so I could hold her as she cried. “What was it like for you growing up as a royal fairy?”
“It wasn’t full of wonders and adventures like so many people make it out to be. It’s mainly full of constant behavior reminders and lessons in every subject known. That is not the place to be. True we are where we are, but there is nothing to guarantee that we would be here any way. But everything happens for a purpose. I know that this maybe hard to understand, but it is true. I really did think it was for the best not to return to the fairy life style.”
“I’m sorry mama. I didn’t know that you lost your childhood. I understand now why you didn’t want to return to that life with us. Yet now I see how sad our lives really are because now we are outsiders to our own people and unknown to most of the human race. Will we ever find a place were we really belong? Were we don’t have to hide or be ashamed of who we are.”
“I don’t know sweet heart, but I hope we find out someday.”
