Vacation

by Lendruel

I'm back! Holly goes on her first vacation in a few decades, and decides to spend a little time topside. Any and all criticisms are welcome, so review, please. A/H, probably a bit of fluff. Updated, after like two years on hiatus, woops! Warning, this is really old and I can't be bothered to rewrite the terrible parts.

1. Chapter 1

Hello, Disciples. Haven't seen you in a while, how've you been? What's that? You died of neglect in my absence? Well isn't that sad. Not to worry, though! Your savior has returned, to completely ignore my previous story and write this one instead. Changed my name, too. That may prove to be a problem for past readers trying to find me… C'est la vie. Hopefully you still love me enough to review, as I seem to be experiencing withdrawal.

Think of this as a preview, just something to keep you going. The next chapter should be out soon, so this is just to give you an idea of the story.

~Yours in Madness,

Lendruel.

God damn it's good to be back.

It was a warm, summer evening, with the sun finally beginning to wane. It cast a few last golden, dying rays across a manicured lawn, casting long shadows behind the hedges, reflecting off of the tall windows of the manor. It was a stately affair, a fifteenth-century castle that had been kept in perfect condition over the ages. With a few rather substantial security improvements, of course.

The two hundred acre estate was rather secluded, obscured from any main roads by oak trees and sheer distance. There were fields far around the manor, with grass glowing gold in the setting sun. It was over these fields that a diminutive figure sped, traveling at a speed that would be illegal had she bothered with a car. Or with the ground.

This speed was not one brought by urgency, however. This was a flight of joy, reveling in the splendor of spring and the beauty of nature. A summer sunset was a sight to see, and a rare one when you lived underground. Almost all of her kind loved the surface, and this fairy was no exception. When you combined the first breath of truly fresh air in months with the freedom of flight, it would be expected for anyone to lose their head a little.

Captain Holly Short was above ground, with a brand new set of wings, and she was on vacation.

Edit: next chapter out today, not tomorrow. Well, tomorrow at like 12 am. It's out now, that's what I'm saying. Just click next.

I missed you guys.
