Thank you to everyone how reviewed and read my story! I'm happy to see people liking it. I'm sorry if these few chapters are a bit slow, but you'll understand that I need them later. Here's chapter three! Hope ya'll like it.
On the other side of Neverland King Robert of the Forbidden souls was receiving an unexpected letter. The Forbidden Souls was an important area, for they were able to navigate where the human and the fairy it created. This was vitally important because if anything happened to a fairy, which wasn't medical, it meant something happened to their 'clumsy' child. Within the walls of the castle, Michael was handing a letter over to his King.
"What's this?" King Robert asked. He had honey brown hair and green eyes. It was rare for the king to ever receive letters, as it was rare the 'clumsy' child to be affecting a fairy.
"This is a letter from King James of Humeria and Queen Clarion of Pixie Hollow, your highness." Michael explained. Robert nodded and took the letter and began to read it. "Now that's odd…"
"What's odd?" Came a female's voice. Robert turned to be greeted by his lovely wife, Queen Elizabeth. Robert just stared at her. Even though they have been together and married for years, her beauty never ceased to amaze him. With her silky jet-black hair and her deep brown eyes, he thanked Mother Dove that she was his wife. "Well come on dear… what's odd?"
"Oh…uh… just this letter I received, darling." Elizabeth walked over to him to read the letter. "It's nothing serious. Just an unexpected letter-."
"From the King of Humeria and the Queen of Pixie Hollow." Elizabeth finished off for him. She read the letter over again. "It seems like it's an emergency… you should go." Robert sighed at his wife's response.
"What about you and the kids? I can't leave you here… the people have been so busy and-"
"We'll come. James did say that his family were staying at Pixie Hollow." She said. Robert looked confused.
"How do you know that?"
"It's in the Humerian newspaper." Robert just looked at her dryly. "What? I have friends in Humeria." Elizabeth said. Robert just smiled at his wife and was about to say something before he was interrupted.
"Dad!" He heard his eldest daughter call, obviously angry. She stormed in the room with her black hair swaying side to side and her green eyes showing fury. "I can't handle them anymore!"
"Sweetheart, they're your brothers… I'm sorry to say it but you have to handle them… part of the role as being and older sister." Her mother explained. Her daughter, Alice, just looked at her before she was about to say something but was interrupted.
"Wahoo! Oh yeah!" Came two young male voices. Then two wild boys came running in, playing with toy areoplanes. The two lads were twins. They were identical and many couldn't tell them apart, with the same shade of honey brown hair and they're brown eyes it seemed impossible to figure out who was Mathew and who was Harry.
"Woah! Boys calm down!" Robert said, attempting to keep the twins quiet. Mathew and Harry immediately hushed up. Alice just rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Sure… they listen to you…" Alice muttered to herself. Since Alice was a teenager, her parents expected this type of behavior. It was normal…well at least for Alice.
"Now everybody, we are going on a little trip." Robert announced to his family. Alice looked perplexed and the twins began high fiving.
"Vacation!" They both screamed. Robert just rolled his eyes. What was he suppose to expect from six
year-olds?
"No… Dad is going to be working." Robert explained. "We will only be there for a few days…it's not that big of deal."
"What time are we leaving?" Alice asked, somewhat enjoying the fact she was leaving the country for a few days.
"We'll leave tomorrow, only because this is an emergency." Robert said. They boys and Alice left to start packing leaving their parents alone.
"Are you sure about this, honey?" Elizabeth asked her husband. Robert sighed.
"I am. I don't want to leave you alone here. Nor do I want the kids without both of us." Robert explained. Just like King James, Robert was protective over his family. He never left them unless he couldn't bring them and it was an absolute emergency. Elizabeth stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on his nose.
"I love you." She sighed, with a love struck smile.
"I love you too." Robert said. "We better go and start packing… we leave tomorrow morning." The king wrote a letter back to Pixie Hollow explaining he and his family will be there tomorrow. And that he would bring his human navigator.
Back in Pixie Hollow, everything seemed fine for the time being. Grace had begun her healing talent training with Marla, the head of her talent guild. The kingdoms got along nicely. Clarion had introduced Louise to Mary and James got to learn a bit more about the Winter Woods. The children adored Clarion. She would play and laugh around with Daisy and she would have long conversations with Sam. Both Louise and James noticed this.
"Uh… Queen Clarion?" Clarion turned to see James. She gave him a warm smile.
"King James. And please call me Clarion." The queen said. James nodded.
"And please call me James. I was just wondering… you get along with the children so well and… I guess I'm quite curious."
"Oh well…thank you." Clarion said. "I love children. Each fairy that arrives here, I feel like they are my own children. That's why I was so worried about Grace." Clarion explained.
"I can see that." James said. Clarion suddenly felt strong cold arms wrap around her waist from behind. She knew it could only be one person; Milori. Then a small kiss was placed on her cheek. James smiled at this. He hadn't known the royal couple for long, but he could already tell that Milori loved Clarion as much as he loved Louise. I love so deep and passionate, full of devotion and eternalness. Clarion turned around in her beloved's arms.
"Where've you been?" Clarion asked her lover. Milori chuckled as the memory was replaying in his mind.
"Catch me if you can Mr. Lord of Winter!" Daisy yelled as she ran away from Milori. The lord just smiled and ran after her. He had come to enjoy playing with her, and it got him thinking that he really did want kids in the future with Clarion. Milori was just about to catch her when she just ran from his grasp. He groaned in frustration. Sam then walked to him.
"It's harder to catch her, isn't?" Sam said. Milori nodded, out of breath to comprehend any words. Sam just chuckled. "Mum and Dad always tease me about not being able to catch her when I'm five years older than her."
"Well think about me, I'm more like five hundred years older and I can't catch her!" Milori chuckled. Sam laughed along with the Lord. Milori and Clarion felt like family to him and Daisy. They laughed, talked and played with them during there stay. Some part of Sam didn't want to go back to Humeria, but he knew it was their family's duty to do so. Daisy ran and hugged Milori.
"Thanks for playing with me Mr. Lord of Winter!" She smiled. "Mummy says I have to go and eat and so does Sam."
"Well you go ahead with you're brother and have some lunch. You must be tired." Milori said as he picked her up and twirled her around. The little girl giggled uncontrollably.
"You must be tired too!" She laughed. "Can you play with me again?" Milori acted as if he was thinking really hard to tease her.
"Why not?" He said. "Anything to get me out of working!"
"Milori?" Clarion said, trying to snap him back to reality. "Hello? Is anyone there?" She giggled.
"Oh, sorry my dear." He kissed her cheek. "I was just thinking about what happened earlier."
"And what was it?"
"I was chasing Daisy around." He replied. "Did you know a seven year-old girl is faster than you think?" He asked laughing. James and Clarion joined in.
"So I've heard from Sam." James chuckled. "And I'm sorry about Daisy, Milori. I'll tell her not to bother you." James was a bit embarrassed that his daughter was bothering Milori. Milori just smiled.
"No it's fine, James." Milori assured him. "I actually enjoy it." They continued to talk until Viola came carrying a letter.
"My queen?" Clarion turned to see her most trusted advisor. "There is a letter for you and his highness King James from King Robert of the Forbidden Souls." Clarion took the letter and gently opened it.
"It seems that King Robert will be arriving tomorrow." She smiled. "He'll also be bringing his wife Queen Elizabeth and his three children; Alice, and his twins, Mathew and Harry."
"Great, more kids." James sighed sarcastically. "I can't even handle Daisy and Sam!" Clarion giggled at the king. He reminded her a lot of Milori. He was sarcastic when he wanted to be and a sweetheart.
"Yeah…better get Mr. babysitter here ready!" She said indicating to Milori. Her lover just laughed. Clarion then realized something. "He didn't say the age of his children though. So we'll need to keep one master bedroom and two other bedrooms available just in case they need to stay." They then saw Grace walk by.
"Grace!" James called the young girl. Grace turned and walked to them.
"Yes, your highnesses?" Grace asked politely. Clarion gave her a warm smile.
"King Robert is arriving here tomorrow afternoon." Clarion told her fairy. "I'll need you to be at the pixie dust center when he arrives."
"Of course, Queen Clarion." Grace replied. She then realized something. "But I'm working tomorrow. Who do I get to cover my shift?" Clarion thought for a moment.
"I'll figure that out, dear." Grace smiled and was about to fly away. "Oh and congratulations." Clarion said confusing the fairy beyond words.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Marla doesn't allow new fairies to work in the infirmary until they have studied for at least month." Clarion explained. "You must be very good at what you do."
"Thank you, Queen Clarion!" grace could not contain her excitement. "I better go and help Marla though." Clarion nodded in understanding. With that she left.
All the monarchs stared as she left and exchanged a glance. No words were needed at that precise moment as they all had the same thought. Grace was a gift. Even though she had a rare human condition called Down syndrome, she still goes ahead with her life. She may have a disability, but Mother Dove blessed her with the gift of knowledge. A gift, that not many people are fortunate to get or find. A power, which could get her out of any situation. Her mindset was amazing. It was hard to believe it, that one girl could change the world like her. Grace was powerful than anyone Clarion knew, she'd even be more powerful than the queen herself. We all just have to ask each other one simple question: Is it possible for someone, who only has the gift of reading and studying to change the world one step at a time?
Authors Note: Sorry about the wait. I was going to post this sooner but I had family visiting. Thanks for reading though! I was hoping to make the last chapter inspirational but I'm not that good at it :P Sorry this chapter doesn't have much in it, but I wanted to build up the bond between the royal couple and the king and queen of Humeria. I know I haven't added much of Louise in, but she will have a vital role soon!
Please review this chapter! I really want to know what you think of all the children running around and your favourtie parts. Do you guys need more Milorian fluff? Do you want to see more of Louise? Just put it in your review. You don't know how much they mean to me.
Hopefully I'll have chapter up soon!
