Chapter One: Glissandra arrives
Hem was sewing like crazy on this beautiful pink cherry dress for her over priced shop. Hem was a self- tax collector a group of fairies who use their talent to get money only for themselves. Her dress should only be 500 star coins, but why not 1050? It was so beautiful, Hem thought.
The wind blew hard outside and Hem's blue shop and Hem could see that out the window. Hem realized, "A new fairy is coming! Yeah!"
Hem rushed to the huge tree with hard gray leaves in the middle of gray land plaza, the bad fairies land.
Everyone was rushing there to see which group got a new addition to their team.
The choices or talents were thunderstorms and cloud fairies, avalanches and snowstorm fairies, flood and mudslide fairies, tornado fairies and fast flying fairies also known as wind fairies, and a group called the self- tax collectors.
Thunderstorm and cloud fairies are mostly strong boys and quick girls. All cloud fairies have tempers and easily take control. Most boys' cause thunder while girls gather electricity to make lightning.
Avalanches and snowstorm fairies love cold and take over at winter time. They play and hate being serious. Flood fairies cause rain and snow fairies usually just freeze it and make it soft. Snowstorm fairies also have the power to make hail, free ice. They tend to sometimes pound the ground with it when they are sad or angry.
Flood and mudslide fairies work together and are very dirty. They are horrible when it comes to plants because they care more about how much water they have then anything else. Drought fairies and flood fairies usually work together, but they hate each other.
Tornado and fast flying fairies are very rare and tell stories of a place called pixie hollow where there are fairies such as dust fairies, animal fairies, water fairies, light fairies, flower fairies, wind (fast flying) fairies, tinker fairies, messenger (page) fairies, snow fairies, and many others because that's where their descendents come from. Nobody believes them though.
The self- tax collectors use their talent to make money and only care about themselves. They steal money and often cause humans to lose money, because they want it.
Every fairy expected to hear crying, what happens when a fairy is born to what they know. Instead laughing filled the air and fast flying fairies were collecting money from bets they made that good fairies are alive.
"This might be a mistake!"Queen Nyla shouted angrily.
Queen Nyla was by far the prettiest, with gray wings bursting with colors on the swirls. She was wearing the rainbow strapless dress Hem had made her. Her blond hair framed her face with bangs slashing down on her forehead.
A sparkle and blur appeared why the fairy was forming. Usually a cloud forms as a fairy is born.
Queen Nyla was more furious by the second. Nyla was trying to control it, but it was erupting out of her face and she had red cheeks.
As the fairies saw this new fairy they doubted who was the prettiest.
Queen Nyla named this new fairy Glissandra.
Glissandra was so very pretty with golden hair that went down to her waistline making her turquoise eyes shine in the moonlight at this late hour. She appeared in a white dress no straps and everyone's jaws were dropped on the floor. Hem's dresses were obviously more talented than those.
Queen Nyla made mushrooms appear with a symbol for each group. First, Glissandra placed her soft small fingers on the tornado and it broke down. The mushroom table turned black.
Next, Glissandra touched the snowflake and it melted. The table turned black.
Then, as Glissandra headed toward the next table the sound of crying filled everyone's ears. A puff of clouds appeared and a fairy with gray blue eyes and brown braided hair was now the newest. Queen Nyla named her Lori.
Again, the sound of crying filled everyone's ears and a puff of clouds and smoke appeared along with a new fairy. She had reddish brown hair and lavender purple eyes. Queen Nyla declared her as Lavender.
Then, Glissandra touched the dollar bill and it slowly faded away and she predicted the table would turn black. The little mushroom table did. Only two options left. The thunderstorms or the flood talents would be hers. Glissandra preferred something else but that wasn't her talent and you can't change your talent.
Glissandra touched the water and mud and it slowly shriveled up and disappeared as the table turned black.
The thunderstorm fairies broke out to dance as Queen Nyla scolded them. The thunderstorm fairies liked their victory dances.
Glissandra was so very nervous it took her a while to step over to the last table. Her little gentle tan finger placed itself upon the cloud and a huge sunshine came out. Then a bid rainbow appeared. The storm fairies didn't want her now.
"She's…a…light…fairy!" Hem shuttered hesitantly.
Queen Nyla declared bidding for this fairy. She was a good fairy, but still worth nothing. The bid went to 1000 star coins before Hem bid 2000. Soon the fairy Glissandra was Hem's new slave.
Lori's ceremony began and as soon as she touched anything it would break. Some fairies saw that as good and some saw this as bad. Soon all the tables were black but Queen Nyla didn't declare the bidding. She told Lori to point her finger at the ground and move it up.
Lori followed orders as all the fairies mouths were looking at this crack in the ground. Lori was an earthquake fairy. Lori clapped and they ground and tables repaired themselves.
Lavender soon was on her last table watching it explode, erupt or burst in to flames like the previous.
Queen Nyla told Lavender to point her finger at the ground and quickly move it up.
Lavender followed commands and a volcano formed and started erupting lava. Queen Nyla told Lavender to touch it. She did and the lava just faded into her skin and made her laugh, and relax.
Hem was amazed that they were finding so many new talents at the same time.
Hem took Glissandra back to her house which was also her shop. As Glissandra and Hem went there Hem nicknamed Glissandra Sandra.
Sandra wasn't paying attention. She wanted revenge on Queen Nyla because light fairies are useful and they are not a fairy slave.
