Sheep, Meals fit for a king, and Creatures

Muscles sore I coaxed the sheep in for the night. My head was pounding like a festered heart. The sight beyond the door was panoramic. Dishes were laid out with mouthfuls of delicacies I've only ever heard about. Royalty ate like this. What magnificent creature could have conjured up this feast? Someone was stirring, was is Adi?

"Good heavens Cheza, what kept you?" Adi asked drowsily.

"Nevermind that! Look at this!" I hollered, motioning to the table covered in royal morsels.

"By golly, Did you make this?!" Adi asked in utter disbelief.

"Not me… Then who? Furthermore… How? It would take days to cook these foods not to mention gathering the numerous ingredients." I muttered to myself.

The wind whistled loudly as if it were trying to answer our questions.

Call for the fairies…

"Did you hear that?" I asked frantically.

"What?!" Adi shrieked.

That voice was so nostalgic. It was as if I heard it before, or maybe earlier in the morning… Maybe even before that…

You always called for us in your sleep…

There it was again. Why wasn't Adi hearing this? Did I scry this in one of my numerous dreams? Maybe that was why it was so familiar to me. The groaning of the sheep made its way into my ears, and within the confines of this cacophony, that voice was the silver lining between tranquility and insanity.

Summon us. You are in grave danger and need our assistance.

Closing my eyes and clenching my fists I tried to answer back. When I did, a warm feeling crept up from my legs, and settled into my fists.

How do I summon you?! I asked furiously.

"Are you in pain? Come and sit down." Adi asked.

Right as Adi's hand made contact with my own she flinched back.

"Ow!" Adi screamed.

The next thing I knew, Adi was on the ground unconscious, my fists were heating up, and the door was slamming up against the wall.

To summon us, you must utter this phrase, "Unlock the doors that separate us"

"Unlock the doors that separate us!" I screamed.

The pain intensified, and the warmth that resided in my hands was spreading throughout my entire body. My eyes closed instantaneously due to the sudden flashes of light around me. After the flashes subsided, fairies replaced each flash of violent light. I expected a hoard of them, but saw five fairies in the place of my imagined hoard. One of them came forward, smiled and said something in a language I couldn't identify. Mere moments later she was as tall as me and wingless! The other fairies followed suit and soon my house had a total of seven girls; one was unconscious, five were masquerading as humans, and as for the last one, I'm afraid she may not be human.

"We are of another world, or specifically another dimension. The main reason my sisters and I came here today was because your powers are starting to awaken. Your true self has yet to be known." she exclaimed.

"Am I not human?" I asked in disbelief.

"You are of direct descent of the royal family of our realm. Your mother and father were rulers of our world and you were born during a rebellion." She narrated.
