Kendra sat in her office in the Fairy Kingdom checking documents and giving her approval to project launch parties. She had the duties of overseeing the development of the Fairy Kingdom as well as the trades and administrations connection to the human world.

The Fairy Queen had been introduced to the idea of trade with humans, at first she seemed opposed to the idea, but as time progressed the country's people began taking an interest to human affairs and merchandise.

And so shops like Elves and Cousins, Alchemy Central, and Fairy Good Buys, began selling their wares in the human world on the internet. Shipping was handled by the industrious Brownies through their many secret passageways, making delivery quick and affordable.

This was all well and good, it benefited the Fairy Kingdom greatly, but as a result Kendra was forced to do more work.

She sighed, stretching her arms and back, it was tiring work, but it was a good thing all her memories settled back into place before she started any of her actual duties.

She was the Princess of the Fairy Kingdom, Adalyn as well as Kendra Sorenson, and both of her lifetime's memories clamored for her attention. Just a year ago she would get these mind-splitting headaches as the two sides of her fought for dominance.

The reason for her returned memories and regained Unicorn form was her death four years ago in the prison of the Kingdom of Darkness. Her brother had made a deal with the pit of Hell to bring her back, but the entity had not only brought her back to life, but forced her to regain her memories and powers.

Kendra stacked the papers and left them on her desk, pushing back her chair and standing up, stretching out her legs. She walked over to her office mirror and thought of where she wanted to go and stepped through.

She appeared in the sick room of the Consort of the Fairy Queen, the magical aids and the machines did their work humming and beeping at the side of the bed. She stepped over to the bed, the nurse nymph gracefully breezing away after bowing to the Princess.

Kendra came closer to the bed and took the pale hand of her first father, Oberon.

He smiled up at her placidly and coughed a little; she quickly took the glass of water by his bedside and let him drink some. After he sighed in contentment she settled down into the chair by his bedside and put the cup down.

"Adalyn…" He breathed, his pearly blue eyes scanning her features with recognition.

"Yes, Father." She said softly, smiling a little for him, but feeling sad and guilty as she did so.

"You were so little when I saw you last… You were so small… Such a kind child…" He muttered, his eyes losing focus as he reminisced about the past, his attention turned back to her. Suddenly his back straightened and his gaze became a glare, "Where is that brother of yours? What is he thinking?! Leaving you alone… I never see you without him around!" His banter dissolved into coughing again and Kendra rubbed his back and handed him his water glass.

"I don't know where Bracken is, he might be out in the human world." She said robotically, and not for the first time.

Her father nodded and pointed at her, "If he doesn't shape up soon you won't have a proper protector!" He smiled fondly at her as he touched her cheek, "My favorite daughter... your father only wants to see you always safe, you understand, don't you?"

She nodded, tears prickling at the corners of her eyes, "I know."

His hand dropped from her face and for a moment his eyes glazed over. He blinked, looked down at his lap then up at Kendra again. Tears formed in his eyes as he gasped,

"My daughter! You are all grown now! What happened?" His voice shook as he reached out for her face again.

She clasped his hand and said, "It's a long story."

Kendra walked through the Fairy city after talking with Oberon, feeling drained. It always hurt her to see him that way, always forgetting their conversation and having to start anew, keeping the whereabouts of his other children from his mind. It would break Kendra's heart to tell him that all of his other children were dead or missing.

She heard the sound of her human father not too far away, so she continued on in the direction of his voice. She found him by the fountain checking the temperature of a little gnome.

Scott removed the thermometer and nodded sagely, "You seem to be running a slight fever of two-hundred three degrees. That's a bit high, you might want to stay home today from work, fevers can be quite nasty. When your fever drops back down to a hundred-ninety-nine you can go back to work, okay? Take care of yourself now."

The gnome seemed a little put-out that he wouldn't be working, but offered Scott a shiny green pebble as payment nonetheless and muttered,

"Aw, jigwigs!... Thank ye." Then allowed himself to be totted home by his gnome wife.

It was strange, having two fathers, one a catatonic hornless unicorn, and the other a human science major currently teaching the Fairy race to use machines and make medicine more affective.

Scott had been given the title of 'Fairy Doctor', which was a great honor only bestowed upon six humans in the history of Fairykind. He was greatly valued in the Fairy community and not to mention hugely popular.

He was almost always in the Fairy Kingdom for work and was considering becoming the first official human resident within the kingdom, but Martha put her foot down and felt determined to remain in the Human world.

So Kendra lived in the palace with the Fairy Queen, Oberon, and the Astrids. She traveled to Fablehaven whenever possible to visit her family and boyfriend, of course, and she kept close contact with Seth, giving him leads and jobs related to Dark Fairy appearances.

"Hey, Kendra!"

She looked up at her father, who was cheerfully waving her over, she walked over to the bench he was sitting on and also sat down.

He excitedly showed her some architecture plans her mother had drawn up, Kendra took it from him and inspected it.

"These are the new plans for the International Embassy?" Kendra asked, looking from the blueprints to the spot they were planning to build it.

"Yeah, and do you want to know why it's the coolest?!"

Kendra nodded as she scanned the notes at the bottom of the sheet on the bottom of the stack.

"It's got a glass roof!"

Kendra nodded mechanically again, "These plans look great. I'll submit this with the contract and paperwork later this week."

Scott studied his daughter; she had changed a lot since the jailbreak, not just in appearance, but in demeanor. She was more distant, she wasn't his little girl anymore; she was a princess of a country that needed her.

"Did Seth come home?" She asked, causing him to snap back to attention.

"Yes, but he was only back for three hours before taking off again. Man, I would say he's too independent for his age, but he's an adult now." He rubbed his thinning grey hair. "It makes me feel kind of old!" He joked half-heartedly.

Kendra smiled and nudged his shoulder with her own, "You're not that old, Daddy."

Scott smiled sadly at his daughter then stood up, "I've got to get back home. Chili for dinner! Want to come?"

Kendra considered his offer then nodded, "I could use a break." She turned to a nearby fairy and smiled, "Would you be so kind as to see this to my office?"

The fairy with the tulip skirt blushed and sighed, "I-it would be an honor, Princess!"

Kendra smiled again, "Thank you." and handed the papers to the fairy.

The tulip fairy happily sped off after curtsying to Kendra, leaving Kendra free to go.

"Let's go," Kendra said, then stepped into the fountain.
