A gentle breeze wafted through downtown London. It was a warm summer's night and snow covered all of England. Nearby the baker of Nooking Street, a baby was born. His name was Stephen and he himself was a healthy young baby. His parents were practical business people. They believed in numbers and equations. They did not believe in magic or fairies. They did not believe in the winged people that brings the seasons to them. A simple act of nature is all they are thinking. Well one particular garden fairy who has been about was saddened by this. But she had made a plan. She knew of their new baby boy and she will bring him joy. She plans to make him laugh and smile. Not only to bring hapiness into his heart while he is still young but also, if he were to, another fairy would be born. The child indeed laughed and a nearby dandelion blew into tiny seeds. This garden fairy nodded smiling and flew quickly to the destination where the seed carrying the fairy's life would soon be. This seed twirled in the air as it glided and flew through london. It went over chimneys and rooftops as if this fairy already had their wings. It parted with London and the mainland and drifted in the air over the see as the fast-flying fairies brought it to Neverland. Neverland, the home of the fairies of our world. A place where you never grow up and magic exists in it's fullest. Smiles are almost always present and joy reigns over the lands. This seed finally felt the joy of Neverland's sweet air as it flowed peacefully to Pixie Hollow. The great land in Neverland where all seasons are present and fairies are always at work.
Kilik, a fast flying fairy, used his winds to take the seed to the very center of the great tree which was the source of all their magic. He set the seed down in the center and flew to his seat. Terrance, the Pixie dust keeper, came with the great goblet filled with the Pixie dust, and gently poured it onto this seed. The seed was engulfed and changed. The shifted and eventually, a small girl was seen. TinkerBell, Rosetta, SilverMist, Iridessa, and Fawn were all smiling at eachother as TinkerBell was the latest addition to Pixie Hollow and now she herself could see how it was done. The fairies gave their gentle hellos to the female in the center of the pad. She rubbed an eye and looked about. Her bright red hair hung down in a bobbed style and her eyes of a rich green looked about. She did not say hello back as she stood. She held her hands to her chest and looked about nervously. "Queen Clarion!" A voice was heard in the many fairies that were present. Three bright glowing specks flew about then came together in a glorious explosion of shining dust and magic. Queen Clarion appeared out of it and smiled at the timid fairy,
"Born of laughter, clothed in cheer, we welcome you here, to Pixie Hollow." The fairy made a small smile and allowed her hands to settle at her sides. The Queen flew down and put a loving hand on the girl's cheek with a smile before going behind her. She gently took her wings and pushed her magic through them. They straitened and glowed before shining a slight silver. She awed at her own wings and flutted them. Queen Clarion took her by the hand and twirled her about. She gained control of her flight almost immediatly and she giggled as she landed back onto the pad. The queen flew up a ways then waved her hand. Several mushrooms appeared around her and she smiled at them anxiously. SilverMist was the first to make it to the mushroom where she placed her droplet of water. TinkerBell placed the hammer, Rosetta the flower, Fawn the seed, Iridessa a speck of light, Kilik the wind, and other fairies of each talent puting down their skills onto the mushrooms. The red headed fairy looked around and she looked to Queen Clarion. "W...what do I do?" She spoke for the first time. She was a little nervous as could be heard in her speech. Queen Clarion smiled and motioned towards the mushrooms.
"These are going to decide which talent you will have here in Pixie Hollow dear." She said with a warm smile and another motion towards the mushrooms. The fairy smiled and nodded looking first to the wind talent. But even before she could touch it, it poofed out of existance and she looked up to the fast flying fairies. Kilik and the others smiled reassuringly and shrugged while pointing at the other mushrooms as if to say, "Well it's a shame but you can't give up yet." She nodded and moved onto water. The same thing happened and SilverMist also smiled and pushed her on. The Hammer fell apart and TinkerBell waved with encouragement. She moved onto light, then garden, then animal, and then snow and all had the similar effects. All fairies gave her reasurment and ecouraging smiles as she moved through the talents. This small fairy though was beginning to lose hope. Her smile was almost gone as she reached the final three talents. The first one fell away quickly and she whimpered. She reached out her hand hesitantly to the second and it too vanished. All the fairies around her were awed. This has never happened. Not one fairy has ever gone through ALL of the talents before reaching theirs. The red head sighed and smiled as she reached out to her expected talent. Her smile faded quickly though as the last talent also disappeared. She covered her mouth with a squeek. She looked around hurridly then up to the Queen. All the fairies were on the edge of their seats some not even sitting anymore. Every talent denied this young fairy. Queen Clarion was calm and flew down to her the mushrooms disappearing. The older fairies grinned and watched intently. The Queen once more placed a hand on her cheek. "Do not fear young one." She said as two more mushrooms appeared. On one, the Queen placed a small glass ball, and on the other, a tiara made of pixie dust. This almost trembling fairy looked as though she dared not touch such beautiful things.
The Queen took her hand and led her to them giving her an encouraging squeeze before releasing her hand and standing behind the mushrroms. Her hand shaking, she reached for the Tiara. It shook and vanished along with the others. The glass ball then glowed and rose to meet her hands. She smiled and took it quickly as if to save it from a horrid fate. She held it and it shone brightly. The fairies wanted to clap but they have never seen this before. The Queen however clapped loudly and the others joined in with her. That held for a moment then the Queen had her hold it up.
"This fairies, is a talent that I have not seen since I was first brought here. She has recieved no talents, but all of them. She has become the learner." She looked about to see the older fairies nod but the others shrug and whisper to eachother not knowing what that exaclty means. Queen clarion laughed and rose up her light shining more than ever. "This means, that she has no talent." Everyone gasped and looked down to the now frowning red head. "No talent?" She said slowly looking at the ball.
The Queen nodded. "Yes dear. No talent. Not yet." The Queen said this lat part and her head snapped up from the ball. "Not yet?" Queen Clarion nodded and flew back down to her. "No dear. You see, you are the learner. Your talent is that you can learn what talent you want to. Every talent is your talent!" Every fairy was off their seat particularly TinkerBell. "You can go to any one of these fairies you see and learn their talent. They can teach you and if you are diligent, you may even learn them all." The small fairy was almost overwhelmed by cheer from the other fairies. TinkerBell, Iridessa, Fawn, SilverMist, and Rossetta all laughed at the irony of it all. Others also found the hilarity in it and even the Queen giggled and winked at TinkerBell. "Now then. Kisalla. This is your choice now. You have the ability to decide where you will go here. Speak with the other fairies and you will have more than enough to handle." She stroked her cheek once more before her and the four ministers disapeared leaving her to the other fairies and a glass ball.
