"Do you believe in magic?" If so then here's another question for you. "Do you believe in Fairies?" Yes, Fairies, but there is more to them then just what you know in story books. They can be in any shape or form, living in the wilderness or among our own towns. With animals on land or with the mermaids and fishes in the sea, simply put they are everywhere.
Long ago, The Fae and humans lived with one another as peacefully as they come, but over time humans started to ignore magic and come to reason that they can not believe what they don't understand from it and use their methods of believes and reasons instead. Very few still believe, so now the Fae hide away living on their own or secretly among humans, doing as they please.
There is a place in the world where all Fae kind and Fae alone live. A place that is the source of all magic and wonders and where they grow, that place is called Avalon. The thing about Avalon is that it is not recorded on any maps nor any compass or Log-pose can lead you to. There isn't even an eternal-pose either, to find Avalon you have to be among or of Fae. Only the people of the Fae can find the island since it is protected by the magic who rule it and Fae together.
There is however another way to find this wonderous land, if you truly desire to find it. Then you must do theses important things to receive the 'Key'; One, you must rely on the strength of your heart, Two have the will power to press forward, Three is to have trust in yourself and others, Four have faith, but the most crucial thing of all is to believe. Have all those at your side and the 'Key' to find Avalon will not be far from your reach.
Only one human was able to have the 'Key' and find the island of the Fair folk. That person was none other then Gold Roger, the king of the pirate's and his fine crew. At first, the rulers of the Fae were concerned, because many years before there was bad blood between pirate's and the Fairies. But Roger proved that he and his men were nothing like those pirate's, they were kind, honorable, marry and very humorous bunch.
After their time on Avalon, the rulers were so fond of their time with Roger and his crew and were relived of their kind spirits that they gave Roger some of their treasures to show him their gratitude, the first was the 'Key', The second was one of Queen Titania's crowns, The third was King Oberon's sword.
They gave him these things for safe keeping for in the future they want him to be the one to give them to the kingdom's next heir. Roger was thrilled to have such an honor and he assured them that these things will be safe and given back when the time was right. Privately he also told them that if he could not be able to the deed, then their heir or one of his men will chose the one person who is not only worthy enough to the deed but also to be the next king.
When Roger and his men left, the two rulers started to have hope in their eyes that one day that magic and fairies can return and live with humans together on the earth in peace once again. But that hope was slightly wavered when they heard the word that Gold Roger was executed. They and all of Fae kind mourned of the lost of such a man and friend.
But they still remembered the promise that Roger made. So they made a island in Roger's home sea and placed a magical barrier on it. The barrier can only be lifted by the future King of the Pirates. The barrier is for the fairy kingdoms heir to stay on the island till the true king comes and takes them to the grand treasure known as the 'One Piece' cause that is where the two fairy treasures are as well.
The way to know if a fairy is one of royal blood. Is to see if they have the royal mark on their arm. Many have ventured on the island but none were the next king. For they all lack the means of having the title and the means of having the 'Key'. The fair folk were starting to lose their hope for their future heir but not the royal couple. They knew that the late pirate king would not disappoint them or his former crew. During their wait, stories of Avalon and fairy kind were starting to be told once more. And some pirate's went of to find 'Key' but all turned out empty handed.
For all the pirates that seek out the 'Key' to Avalon, they had to receive it from Avalon's heir which never occurred. For no one has seen or found a Fairy since the death of Gold Roger. Many don't have much knowledge of the Fae any more either unless you know which is true or that you believe.
But there are some signs of the fair folk among the humans or in the wilderness, like if you see a little figure of a person in the trees or an unnatural phenomenon happens near your home. Those are just the work of the fairies doing as they please, along with their restlessness of longing their heir to return home.
If it ever comes down to that one question. Which will be ask if you ever see or hear of something or someone that can't quite be explained. And will be asked of the new king...
Do you believe in Fairies?
Enjoy the story!
