A/N: Okay!!! I'm just going to do a quick reminder. This is a story I am co writing with my friend Gene-Sama. In this prologue I am the one writing. If you don't know or understand any of the Faerie terms I have put in this chapter please ask me; I am more than willing to explain everyone of them.

Prologue: Tora's Story

Tora's life was centered on her home. She loved everything about it.

Every night the Summer King and Queen would have wonderful and lavish balls. There was drinking, and dancing, and plenty of other Faeries to be around; Tora especially loved playing with the wood elves.

"Tora!!" One of the Sprites called. "Come tell us the news of the outside!"

Tora giggled as she flew over to a group of Pixies and Sprites. "The human realm is so nasty!" She began in her bell-like voice.

"I mean they have so much iron and steel all around them and they always follow rules." She smirked as the group gasped. "There's not a tree, flower, or river in sight in ANY of the cities, they don't dance or laugh, or have any fun. The best part is that they can't see us so you get to have so much fun confusing them. I mean it's so funny to pull their hair or trip them or smack them on the butt! And the Kelpies have so many humans to choose from. Such a wild creature those Kelpies… It must be so nice for the changelings; they'll never have to worry about growing up in the human world, but I hope we get our Faeries back soon."

"So does that mean that we shouldn't go out?" One of the Pixies asked.

"Who would want to? I mean look at all this!" Tora swept her arm around the gaily lit room; glittering bodies danced and twirled around the room in the glory of the Summer King and his Queen. "It's so beautiful here and we have so much fun every night and the food is delicious!"

Tora flew off twisting and weaving between the Elves and Brownies, darting silently by the Banshee in hopes to keep down wind and not catch her attention, zooming past the Nymphs that were torturing a dwarf by keeping a hold on his treasure just out of his reach, and stopping at the foot of the Summer King's throne.

"My King." Tora announced as she bowed low before him. "I bring news from the Winter Court."

"Tora." The King acknowledged the little Faerie. "Tell me, what does the Winter Court say?"

"The Winter Queen wishes to congratulate you on finding your Summer Queen and setting the world back into balance. She wishes to ask you for help with the… Unseelie Court…" She tried to keep the distaste from lips.

"My King." Tora started again. "The Unseelie Court has begun to seep into the Winter Court. Because of their influence the Kelpie's are beginning to take more victims and the Red Caps are coming out of their mountain homes. Bogles are going after more than just liars and murders and the Hags are becoming a nuisance. The Banshee's are attacking more men and if we don't stop them how are we suppose to have more changelings? And Bean-Nighe is taking more and more lives of women who shouldn't be dying in child birth. Oh and don't get me started on the Mermaids, the water Faeries are having a hard time keeping them under control."

"I see… Tora I would like you to go back to the Winter Queen's home and tell her my reply." The Summer King flicked his hand and Rowan man stepped forward. "I would like you to accompany Tora to the Winter Court."

"Yes my King." The Rowan man replied as he bowed low.

"Tell the Winter Queen that I will be happy to help her quell the uprising in the Unseelie Court. Be mindful Tora, you're the last of your kind. Without you we have no one to tend to the animals and it is yet your time to try and birth one of your own."

"I know my King, I shall be wary. Thank you for keeping me in such high regard." She placed her right fist against her left collar bone. "My duty is to see to the King's needs first though."

With that she bowed and took off to see to the Winter Queen.

For now this was just another day for Tora in her sparkling Summer Court.
