If you see a fairy ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tip-toe as you pass,
Last night faeries frolicked there
And they're sleeping somewhere near.
If you see a tiny fairy,
lying fast asleep
Shut your eyes
And run away,
Do not stay to peek!
Do not tell
Or you'll break a fairy spell.
My name is Mikazuba Yaoke, but everyone knows me as Miki or Mi as my friends call me. I don't know when it is and I can barely remember where I
am. But I know why I am here. It is for what I did. I haven't been here long. In this endless sleep my past is horrible and future may not be any better but this is a story in how I came to be here. I remember this...How could I forget... I had to fall in love.... With him, I should have given up but I didn't. This is what again what was my story after I no longer was a Fairy as it once was, always will be and if you stay with me how it will
end. One day.... I hope...................
(At the Dragon Castle)
Sarazar glazed into her crystal ball with dark red eyes. She slowly spoke
of what she had seen.
"To this day the last species of demons rarely comes out of to bring know
there existence. In a distant land that is yet so close lives four different species each is know to man as a demon yet they are not. One can be found in the depths of the earth playing quietly. Another is found in a whirl of fire humming lightly. The third wisps through the wind sleeping light. The last is found in streaming through the water and dancing upon
trees she sings to lure her prey." The words softy left Sarazar's lips.
Everyone stared at the fortuneteller. They had been called to learn a way to defeat Nadil yet more questions filled their heads. Rath voiced the main
question. " What are you talking about?!?" Sarazar seemed to sigh.
"To find them all you only need to find water her song will lure you. On this night you will hear whispers in the sky let your body follow them and soon you will find what you need." Then with that Sarazar disappeared. That brings us to the current situation in a new place where the dragon knights
and officers stood..........
(Now)
Miki opened her gold eyes to stare at the people before her. Slowly she shifted through the water coming up to the bank. The vines she had summoned
wrapped around seven peopl. Manly of them seemed to restrain themselves from breaking loose. One though seemed to have enough. Fire burned through
her trap setting the creatures free. The one that had burned her vines stalked towards her. Gasping softly Miki drove away from the bank as the person approached. Though before she made it very far a hand grabbed her around the neck. A slight screech seemed to eliminate from her throat. Miki was suddenly thrown down to the ground. Her brown hair fell steaming out of
its band like water before falling over her star silver earrings and
touching the ground. Her satin black was crumpled below her knees.
"Rath!?!" What are you doing?!?!?" Two people yelled at the raging other.
Rath just shrugged.
"Alfeegi, Rune we need to talk to her. Thatz help me." Thatz and Rath
slowly approached her. Miki began to back away her hands searched for something. As the two began to close in her hand fell upon a blue and green
stone. Clutching in her hands she began to chant, water burst up from behind her heading towards the group. The one called Rune stepped forward and the water seemed to freeze before gently falling to the ground. As Rath and Thatz looked furious Rune approached her holding out his hand. Slowly Miki grabbed it to be pulled up into Runes arms. Using Rune as support she
turned to face the two furious creatures. Bringing her top lip up Miki
showed her long fangs and snarled. The two
seemed to reel back in shock.
"We do not mean you any harm." Alfeegi spoke.
Miki only rolled her eyes. "You approached here as you surely know you shouldn't. The villagers must have warned you. You are considerably lucky I
already ate."
Rune slowly began to speak. " What do you mean.... You didn't eat that
boy..."
Miki smiled. " No I didn't I ate the demon following him, one needs to
eat." Miki shook her head. " Explain why you have ruined my peace, come
into my land, and not heed the warnings." She hissed.
One of the creatures stepped forward. "My name is Tetheus, that is Rath,
Rune, Thatz, Runwalk, Kaistern, and Alfeegi. We are part of the dragon tribe." Miki raised an eyebrow and let him continued. " We where told you
could help us defeat an enemy and some one who works for him we've been
told you hate. Our enemy is Nadil and his partner is Kharl."
Miki growled but she wasn't the only one who made a noise. Hisses, howls and a shriek echoed the small opening. Three girls slowly appeared. One had purple hair that ended just above her shoulders. She wore a red silk short dress and two long green earrings. Another girl had vibrant pink hair that stopped at her waist. She wore a long plain white dress and pearl earrings. The last girl hand short burning red hair that was just above her gold hook earrings. She wore a black skirt and a white satin blouse. The girl with
pink hair took Miki away from Rune.
"Kharls still alive how many time must we lock that idiot up." The girl
with purple hair mumbled.
"Jess calm down. Julia how's Miki. " The girl with red hair stated.
"She's fine Kat just a little dried up." Julia spoke.
"I guess you really hate Kharl, this time you can kill him," said Thatz.
All four girls looked at him like he was crazy.
"We can't kill Kharl," said Jess.
"Why not." asked Alfeegi.
Julia stared at Miki. "They don't know much do they. Kharl is Miki's twin
if he dies she dies. And if she dies the water also dies as well as the
trees."
Kat rolled her eyes, showing how much that was an understatement.
"Its not just that, if anything where to..."
The ground suddenly began to shake. An insect demon broke out through the
ground and began to charge at the unstable group. Regaining her balance
first Julia pushed her arms out in front of her.
A small blue ball began to appear in her hands as she chanted. "Power of
air, power of might, hear my words to grant my wish." Julia brought her
arms above her.
"Gushing Wind." The blue light flew away from here before turning into a fast gust of wind, head towards the monster. The wind hit the monster head on. There seemed to be a slight pause before the insect bulged out in size and exploded. This all happened so fast that the Dragon tribe could only
stare. Bending down Julia brought Miki to her feet.
"Nice shot Julia."
"It was nothing ya know, it was a weak monster. The power I needed was
slim. You could of done with a blink of an eye Mi."
Miki slightly blushed at the comment and turned to straighten our her
dress.
"What was that?" Alfeegi asked.
Julia slowly began to speak. " That was.."
She was cut off by Kat. " We need to get going more demons are coming."
Miki walked away from Julia and walked up to a scarred tree. She placed her
hand onto the tree and closes her eyes.
"Yes lets leave. So no more life in this land can be harmed. L fear that if we stay the worst may happen to this land." She turned to face the dragon
tribe. "We shall help you in any way we can. No about your lord." The
dragon tribe stared at her.
"How did you know?" Rune asked. "I have the gift of telepathy, now please
tell me what is wrong."
Alfeegi sighed. "Our lord has fallen ill and so has our queen. Our seer also told us that two of you could heal. She said your powers can cure them
and turn them back into their old selves."
Jessica nodded and shot Julia and Miki a quick look. "Yes, but not with a
price." the last part was muttered under her breath. Thatz raised an
eyebrow, as he was the only one to hear it, he let it drop.
"So lets get going, I want to see this land rue by the dragon tribe." Kat
barged in. The trip was quite quick as they rode across the ocean on
dragons.
(After arriving at the Dragon Castle.)
Miki could not stop herself from staring at the dragon castle. Not because
if its size but because of the diversity she saw. The trees were each
different from each other as much as the races she could sense in the
castle. The dragon tribe had gone off leaving them alone.
"Big isn't it." Jess said sarcastically. Miki only glanced at her.
"No its the..." Miki paused as she thought. What she was considering saying seem to be the wrong words. Her past slow began to come back to her. She
could remember the slaughter of her race. Her brother's cries. Her
mothers...
"Yeah Mi we know." Julia cut in.
"It brings back horrible memories for you doesn't it."
Miki's eyes glanced down to the ground. Her hands clenched into a fist.
Tears were filling her eyes.
"This place its like my home. I don't think I can do this its..." Miki
paused.
She suddenly started to mumble. "You know when Kharl was himself. He was always curious and when he found that child everyone was happy. I wonder
what happened to him."
The three girls glanced at each other. They knew something was wrong, but they let her continue. "I remember when Kharl changed. He never seemed so different. Then when he killed those sprites I knew my brother had changed. He would sit and try to cast dark magic. And then...then... that spell I can still remember it, the screams. When he became a demon, he evoked the
devil onto this world. I lived only because I'm his other half. When he became evil I became pure. I..I.. don't like being like this. I mean I'm
now a..a...I don't even know what I am. To think I was changed into an extinct species. It was part of the deal. He knew. He knew." Miki paused,
her thoughts a jumble.
"Yet he did this to me because....I fear I don't why. The child I know he's alive. I don't know how, but he is alive, he is with Kharl. That poor human
child may be a demon by now but I still fell a slight human aura." Miki
suddenly stopped when she notice what she had said.
"I'm babbling aren't I."
"No Mi, our just remembering. It's hard for all of us you know." Jess started. "When we all look at this place we see our pasts. The home we once
had is now gone. Lives have been lost and they will never come back."
"But the seer said." Kat muttered. Julia glance at Jess before she began.
"Yes, but we have no right. It was their time to die. True the seer said that the wind staff could revive anyone we wanted but....b..but what will that person say that we took them from death for our own needs. All of our clans taught a respect for the dead. They would be ashamed of us. I mean
even if it's for a moment I can lay eyes on my sisters again it's not
worth it. We have gotten through this for this long, why do we need our
clans now. Is it out of fear or is it because...." Julia trailed off.
"Its because we want it." Miki started. " We want the feeling of being wanted again. To fall into our mothers arms, to fight with our siblings, and to get soothed for our misfortune. We want what was taken from us. We
want love, what we have never felt, and most likely never will."
Everyone stared at each other their thoughts uncertain. Kat slowly started
to speak.
"Lets split up. To think, to relax. If they truly need us they will find
us."
With that the four girls disappeared to different parts of the dragon
castle.
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tip-toe as you pass,
Last night faeries frolicked there
