When The Sky Falls
Sequel to Faerie in the Myst
Chapter One
A new arrival was coming. The faeries and sparrow men were still slightly unnerved by the traumatic death of Myst, just a month earlier.
"There it is!" Someone called. The faeries, all quieted down.
As usual, all of the faeries and sparrow men sat in groups with their talents. The water talents had handkerchiefs, ready for if they burst into tears. Water talents have a tendency to cry a lot. Light talents were glowing the brightest on their side.
The small glowing ball of light flew in. It swirled around some younger faeries, making them giggle, and around the trees, making some small leaves flutter to the ground. It managed to bring a smile to many faerie's and sparrow men's faces.
The little sphere of light floated in the air above the sandy clearing, letting down a raining shower of sparkles. The unmistakeable contour of a faerie was made. With a small burst, the sparkles flashed, and a small faerie sat in its mist. Her hands were together in front of her, her legs bent backwards at the knee as she sat.
Her wings fluttered, letting off glimmering dust that fell gently to the ground.
The faerie was small, even for a faerie, with short pitch-black pigtails. Her eyes were big, and a bright almond colour, contrasting greatly with her pale skin. She wore the usual white dress, since she didn't have anything else.
Anxiety was heavy in the air. Many of the faeries and sparrow men were even holding their breath.
The little newcomer seemed not to notice, standing up and observing her thin, pale arms, ended with spidery long fingers. She curled them in and out, smiling in satisfaction.
Even Queen Clarion, sitting on the side of the clearing started to become impatient.
Then the faerie spoke, "My name is Sky".
With a bright smile she added, "And I am an art-talent faery!".
All of the other art talents let out whoops and hollers, obviously pleased. Secretly, a few of them were hoping desperately that she wouldn't be like Myst.
Bess zipped to the middle of the clearing as many others started leaving. "Hi! I'm Bess, and it's my job to show you around!".
Sky followed, her dark black pigtails flying after her. Bess flew right to her own studio. "This is my studio. Many faeries have their studios in the Home Tree" Bess explained, but then she gestured to her own, "But others have it somewhere else. It's your choice, either way".
Sky nodded, listening intently. Bess smiled brightly, adjusting her green acorn hat.
Bess then started speeding towards the Home Tree.
With a small bit of a sigh, Sky started to follow. Though, she couldn't help but think this was going to be a long day.
"Your clothes are in the closet, we got you a bunch to choose from. You can go look at more later, but its getting late. Meet me in the tea room for dinner in little bit, okay?" Bess asked. Not waiting for answer, she shut the small white door.
Sky took off her shoes, leaving them on the soft, red carpet. Making her way over to the small wardrobe, she opened the door. Bright blues, dark reds, soft yellows and pinks burst in front of her eyes, and she had to blink a couple times to be able to look.
She contemplated what to wear for a moment, then she pulled out a pastel blue tunic, feeling of cotton, with black tights. After a moment's hesitation, she pulled her hair out of the pigtails, letting it down over her shoulders.
When she got to the tea room, she was astounded to see a numerous amount of faeries arguing about something.
"Murder left it for Myst!" A faerie with long dark curls hissed.
"And Myst is obviously gone!" Another argued, that was standing on the other side of the room.
"Yeah, but the note says a new version of Myst" A sparrow man pointed out, "What do you think that means?".
"Maybe a reincarnation" A girl suggested.
"Who's Myst?".
All eyes turned to Sky, who blinked.
Whispers started to bring the little faerie fear. Things like "She's the newest faerie since Myst", and "It has been exactly a month".
Almond eyes darted from the faeries, looking for Bess. Something had to be explained, because Sky didn't understand at all.
She spotted Bess, speaking with one side of the room, then the other; Both sides ended up nodding, as if she was proposing something that was a great idea.
"Sky" Bess flew up to her, a unnerving smile on her face.
"Bess? What's going on?" Sky asked slowly.
"You're going to go see Peter Pan with Tinker Bell".
