Somewhere, deep in England, was a small house. Perched on the countryside hills, this cottage overlooked a beautiful brook. Two very young girls lived in this cottage, twins. Their mother was fast asleep, but the girls were very much awake. The pair watched as their kitten climbed up, and poked his face over the rail of their crib. The two were silent for a moment, then, at the same instant, burst out laughing, a beautiful sound. Outside their shared window, was a dandelion, about to shed its seeds. At the sound of their first laughs, two small deep cherry red orbs floated towards the dandelion, and the seeds burst through the air. The flew through the air, along the route to the second star, many getting stuck or lost on the way, until there were only two. The two remaining seeds continued on the way, and a purple-clad fairy flew to guide the seeds to the Pixie Dust Tree. The two seeds gently floated down to the center of the tree. A dust keeper fairy flew forward a poured a cup of pixie dust over the two dandelion seeds, which then took the shape of two young fairies. They crouched there, holding each other's hands, as Queen Clarion appeared.
'Born of laughter, clothed in cheer, happiness has brought you here.'
She greeted the newcomers. "Hello. I trust you found your way alright?" She asked. "Yeah, I had a good trip." Said one of the fairies, with spunky hazel eyes and wavy chocolate brown hair that fell just above her ears.
Queen Clarion smiled warmly, as the rest of the fairies and sparrow men laughed and smiled at each other. The other fairy, her sister, just nodded and smiled. She had back length wavy cherry red hair, and curious deep green eyes. "Now," said the Queen. "Let us see about those wings." Both the girls had graceful, pointy wings. The Queen gently reached out and with a sweep of her hand, traced the swirls and curves of the short haired fairy's wings. "Can you fly?" The Queen asked her. She took the girl's hand and swept her into the air. The fairy flapped her wings hard, and flew straight into the air, twirling happily. She smiled reassuringly at her sister as the Queen did the same to her. The short haired fairy watched Queen Clarion t take her sister to test her identical wings. She also flew a bit beyond Queen Clarion's swing. "Wonderful. They're working well. And to see about your talent." She said. Fairies and sparrow men of every talent flew forward, quite a few smiling at the new girls. They each placed an object of their talent upon the toadstools that had sprung up magically. "...What are these?" Asked the red haired fairy. "These will determine your talent. "Said Queen Clarion. "Just touch one, and if nothing happens, touch another." She beckoned for the short haired fairy to go first. She nodded and stepped forward. She first went for the egg, and the hammer, but both lost their glow and dropped. Suddenly, as she passed the rainbow of pixie dust it glowed, blindingly, so she and her sister, and even a lot of the fairies and sparrow men watching, had to close their eyes. "I haven't seen it glow that bright since Tink!" whispered a garden fairy with curly hair and a southern accent. "Rosetta, shhh!" Whispered a animal fairy with a long fishtail braid. "Zarina, please welcome the firstborn Pixie Dust Alchemist, Ruby!" Said Queen Clarion.
