An: I watched maleficent again. (Well, tried) and this popped into my head. Hope you like it bun-buns.
There are tales of magic and magical creatures. Most are fairy tales that tell of love and peace, but some, like this tale aren't so happy. This is a tale of a very special boy and his loving heart, how trusting and loving easily, hurt him for a long time. This is the story of tensa.
When he was a boy, he always lived in the forest called the hollows. To normal people, the hollows are a dangerous place. For tensa it was his home. He grew up in the hollows, the epicenter of magic and magical creatures. He was a fairy, one of the strongest. His long flowing orange hair, slightly tan skin, and unique eyes were not like everyone else's. Where they were white on you and I, they were black on him. His eyes were the color of gold.
On his way to see a friend, he wrapped a tattered waist length cloak around himself. He knew this forest like his own body. He made it to toshiro's nest in no time.
When he looked up high into the trees, he saw a white-blue wing. "Toshiro!"
The wing fluttered and a boy with white hair looked over the edge of a giant birds nest. The boy smiled. "Hello tensa, how are you today?"
"I'm fine, and you old friend?"
Toshiro flew to the forest floor, landing in front of tensa. "I could be better. They say an intruder is in the northern part of the hollows."
Tensa frowned, intruder? "And what does this intruder want of us?"
They moved to sit while toshiro talked. "A human stole a jewel from one of the pixie hideouts. The tree giants have cornered it and want you to deal with it. Will you?"
He contemplated for a short while. He would do it, his people wanted his help. He nodded with a determined face and got up to leave.
Once he made it within a few feet of where the human was, he saw the tree giants. Walking up, he spoke to one of them. "Where is the human nnoitora?"
The one eyed giant pointed to a curtain of ivy. "There. She won't come out, don't know why."
Tensa rolled his eyes. "You are a giant pointing a spear at her, I would not come out either if I were human." He pushed their spears down and approached the curtain of foliage. "Come out human, they will not harm you. You are safe, just return what you have stolen."
A soft, frightened voice responded. "I will not come out. Those creatures tried to kill me. How do I know you aren't trying to trick me?"
Tensa chuckled, humans were amusing. "If we wanted to hurt you, we would have. And those 'creatures' as you call them are my friends, it is rude to call them names."
A brown eye peeked out of the greenery. "I'm sorry for being rude, I am just afraid."
The ginger reached out a hand. "Don't be. We just take thievery seriously around here."
She took his hand and emerged, she had orange hair lighter and duller than his, and she was the same age as him. To say the least, she was beautiful. She put on a confused expression. "But why, it is only one jewel, would you really miss it?"
He shook his head. "It's not about missing it, but more about it belonging here." Holding out his hand, he smiled gently at her. "Now please, the jewel."
She hesitantly gave it to him. It looked like a plain rock on the outside, but on the inside, it was a beautiful green. He dismissed the giants and led the girl to the edge of the hollows. She turned to him, blushing lightly. "What is your name?" She asked.
"My name is tensa, and yours?"
She smiled. "Orihime." Her smile turned into a guilty frown. "I am still sorry for taking the jewel, I needed it."
"If it was food you needed then you could have asked. Or if you needed it for money, the pixies might have given it you with good reason."
Her smile was back. "You are good beings, all of you."
"That we are. But, it would be best if you did not come back. Humans don't belong here."
She nodded sadly and left. But she would be back for years to come. Tensa and orihime would become close, until their sixteenth year when she would come no more. He would be heartbroken, but that would not be the last he saw of her.
An: and I hope all you hime lovers don't hate me after the next chapter. I'm not a fan of her.
