Chapter 1
Clarion snuck back into her room, out of sight from the fairies gathering. She only had enough time to clean up and redress. She was brushing her long hair up into the bun she always wore when she heard everyone greeting the new girl. Clarion wiped away a tear that had fallen as she placed her crown on her head. The ministers were waiting for her, she hoped she didn't look too tired and worn out. She still had a long day ahead after-all. Greeting her four co-leader's with a soft nod she started to feel the weight of her secrets in her heart. She closed her eyes tightly as the seasons flew ahead of her, reminding herself that this had to be treated just like a normal fairy, no matter what she knew. Splitting into her pixie dust lights she arrived in four balls.
She softly began the lines she used to love, but not hated. "Born of laughter, clothed in cheer, happiness has brought you here," she lied, taking a longer blink to hold the lie from her eyes. "Welcome to Pixie Hollow. I trust you found your way alright?" She tried to cheer herself up more than the confused girl.
"I- think so," the young one said.
Clarion laughed lightly as she went behind her. "Now, let's see though wings."
She brought the pixie dust to her fingertips and slowly ran her hand from the girls back to the wing tip, pulling them up as she went. She smiled happily that the new wings held no gold color or pattern to hold a connection to herself.
Everyone gapped at the wings. Clarion smiled warmly and reached her hand out to the young one so she could try them out. She did this like she did with every other fairy, slowly spinning in a circle to get her going, letting go of their hand as they flew up higher and reaching up to help them safely land. Only this time she had to scold herself not to act like a mother teaching her and like a queen. She fought to stay on the ground and just watch.
Warmed with pride she flew backwards, bringing the mushrooms up from the ground while the talents were placed on them. She wanted to rush this, she already knew everything about this fairy. But no one else knew what she knew, no one knew about this girl at all, so she had to stick with the ritual.
"What are these things?" she asked.
"They will help you find your talent," Clarion said simply.
"But how will I know?" the blond looked around curiously.
"You'll know," Clarion waved her hand to the talent circles waiting.
She watched the girl slowly make her way from talent to talent. The girl looked more and more discouraged as talent after talent fell away from her. Clarion just waved her on with an encouraging smile. She sighed as she passed the Tinker hammer without even giving it a chance. But people gasped as the hammer glowed and actually floated to the girl. Clarion knew this would happen, she also knew that the bright light that came from the hammer was from her special existence. Everyone knew she was special from that, but not how special.
Clarion flew over to the girl, having her name now in mind. She was glad she was right that her daughter would hold her past talent. As everyone cheered she put the mushrooms away.
"Come Tinker fairies, and welcome the newest member of your talent. Tinkerbell." she quickly faded into her pixie dust and vanished. Everyone assumed she had gone to her room, she actually made her way to the border.
"Did it go well?" Milori asked as she came into form.
"Just fine, she's a Tinker like I said." Clarion said hugging him tightly for a moment.
"Tinker and Frost then," he sighed a bit. "like their parents."
Clarion smiled into his chest. He kissed her neck lightly and she pulled away with a gasp.
"Milori," she sighed. "We can't."
He wiped away her fallen tear and kissed her cheek. "It's in the making."
Clarion tried to leave but Milori pulled her back into a kiss. Clarion died a little as she pulled away.
"We just came to see how it went," she looked up seeing Clank and Bobble show Tinkerbell winter.
"We can't let them find each other," Milori sighed sadly. "Go to your review."
They sadly parted, knowing this was their last good-bye. Clarion pulled her ring off, a gold band with a sapphire stone in the center. It was her engagement band. He took it back and put it in the pocket of his cape.
"Someday it will be better," he said as she left quickly. He went over to his owl and flew a circle coming to the warm side briefly. Winter had just finished and it was now spring's time so he just flew over, looking down at his soon-to-be woods kingdom.
Clarion however went to her room, fixing her hair after crying for a few moments. Her hand felt weird without her ring. The whole thing felt weird and empty. She somehow managed to straighten her dress, fix her composer and head to a normal dinner with the ministers.
