Author's note: Humans and mobians shrink to fairy size when they enter Pixie Hollow. Also, they can understand fairies while they're small.


Long ago, before the beginning of time, there were the four Spirits: Vigeo, Sol, Ventus and Glacius. And the four Spirits foresaw events. Events which could lead to the end of time as soon as it would start. Chaos out of control, unbalanced time. So, when the first baby laughed for the first time, they created Pixie Hollow. And that was the beginning of fairies. Fairies of all talents, fairies who would organise time into four seasons: Spring, which was created by Vigeo, Summer, created by Sol, Autumn, created by Ventus and Winter, created by Glacius. From that day on, they were known as the Spirits of the Seasons. But there was still something they couldn't prevent on their own. Before going back to their realms, they left a prophecy behind. And that prophecy said: "In the darkest of all times, in times where hope will be lost, heroes will rise. Three heroes from a distant world, three heroes born from their laughter and seven Mystic Lights, the only humans born from laughter, blessed with the power to repel evil. And together, they will stop that who is darker than any darkness"

Time passed undisturbed until one special day. A day that would remain in the history of Pixie Hollow forever. The day when the Mystic Lights arrived.

Sonic the Sparrowhog was in his house, playing Hero Rising. Shadow walked in on him. "Hey, are you coming to the arrival?"

Sonic: "I'll think about it"

Shadow: "I heard Rosetta was coming"

Sonic closed his game and dashed out of the room. "Out of my way!" He bumped into the front door, which was closed.

Silver: "Going anywhere?"

Sonic: "To the arrival" He opened the door. "Okay, let's try again. Out of my way!"

Shadow and Silver were behind him. They reached the Pixie Dust tree in about two minutes.

Silver: "What is he, a race car?"

Shadow: "That's Rosetta's effect on Sonic"

Silver: "What does she have to do with it?"

Seven dandelion puffs landed in the Pixie Dust pool.

Sonic: "Seven? I hope they'll all be garden fairies"

Queen Clarion stepped close to the puffs

Shadow: "You're so old that by the time you arrived, Aaron Flintstone was the hero of Pixie Hollow!"

Clarion: "Can we have at least one arrival without this?"

Shadow: "Hey, someone has to say it"

Terence poured some Pixie Dust on each of the dandelion puffs. Each of them turned into a human girl.

Clarion: "Born from laughter, clothed in cheer, happiness has brought you here"

The pink-reddish haired girl looked around her. "Where are we?"

Clarion: "In Pixie Hollow. Now, let's see those…" She walked behind them, but she was surprised to see no wings on their backs. "You…you're not fairies"

Shadow turned to Sonic. "Say goodbye to your hopes of having someone to put in a good word for you with Rosetta"

Clarion remembered about the prophecy of the Spirits. "You are the seven Mystic Lights"

The girls spent a good amount of weeks in Pixie Hollow, learning about their destiny. One day, Strawberry was with her six friends in the Hall of Winter.

Cherry: "So when exactly are we going to do what that prophecy says?"

Dewey: "Nobody knows. It'll happen when it'll happen"

Blueberry: "And who are the other heroes? Or at least 'that who is darker than any darkness'?"

Dewey: "No names were given. All I know is that you should be really careful. Since you are Mystic Lights, your dark parts will be extremely powerful if you let them escape, even by accident. And since you'll save the world, we can't let that happen"

Strawberry was still inexperienced, like the others. She was still finding it hard to tell good from evil. When Dewey mentioned saving the world, a thought came into her mind. "Why save the world when you have enough power to rule it?"
