Queen Clarion p.o.v
Images of mainland. A human family. A teenage girl and two other women, probably her mother and older sister, came into view.
Then they changed into the older girl holding a baby in her arms, all were happy. Soon they changed into the vision of a burning house, the teenage girl weeping, holding the baby to her, those two were only remaining of that happy family.
Then it showed streets covered in snow, cold and dark, the young girl dressed in rags, shivering and seemed to be ill running through the freshly fallen snow, holding a bundle to her chest. Streets were dark and haunted, eerie looking, as young man ran after her, a knife in his hand.
I shivered from inside, this was nothing I expected of.
Then it changed showing the girl keeping the bundle on a doorstep, and ran. She had no other option than that to leave her niece to protect her. Then it showed the young girl lying on dark alleyway, her body broken and wounded, her last breath mingled with a tear fell from her eye fell on snow, making a small glow.
Soon, a snowflake rose to the air and began to float towards the second star, to the right.
I was shaken, I admit. Melda was not a normal fairy born of laughter, but she was born from pure deed and selflessness of a young girl. It was a miracle, I could not help but feel that Melda s' arrival is done for a reason; there must be a reason for her birth in pixie hollow, especially to be my healer and to sense my emotions.
I turned towards Melda who seemed completely dumbstruck, and sighed. I know she will need an explanation for all this.
Melda p.o.v
I could not think properly for few seconds. I thought I was born of laughter, as any other fairy. But what I saw was… I could not understand any of this other than I was a complete foreigner among these fairies. I am useless and odd.
"Melda?" breaking my line of thoughts, I heard the queen addressing me. I turned towards her, wanting an explanation.
"Melda, when this world was very young, the first human baby s' first laugh gave birth to us, never fairies. Never land is the place of imagination of human children. Our lives rely upon their belief of us. However, there are others who bring dreams to humans, dream fairies who live in dream hollow, dreamland, in ocean of dreams. These fairies are born when a human baby has its first good dream."
Queen paused for a moment, as she gracefully descended from the huge snowflake, and I followed her.
We entered the hall filled with books, and the keeper who was organizing some books came to us. The queen thanked him and I smiled, and he addressed to me.
"I heard you are a scribe talent, you can visit here any time you want"
"Thank you keeper" I was amazed with the offer. "Call me Dewey, it's what my friends call me," he said, winking.
I thanked him again and followed the queen, wanting to know the rest.
We were enjoying the cool winter breeze among the frozen pine trees, when queen spoke once again.
"But there is another kind of fairies in dreamland, in a place called dark hollow nightmare fairies. They create nightmares to humans and born when a human baby has its first nightmare. I thought you are one of them as they too have black wings, but for them golden pixie dust is poisonous; their source of power is black pixie dust, which is deadly for never fairies. I dismissed that thoughts when you had talents, you are one of us Melda, a true never fairy and a special one, as you are born of good deed and selflessness."
Queen smiled at me and I smiled too, knowing that I was accepted here, I felt happy.
I bowed to the queen and left as I felt she wanted to stay alone now. I headed towards the border, it was so beautiful and calming, I wanted to clear my head from all the thoughts, as well.
Third person P.O.V
After watching Melda disappearing among trees, the queen turned towards the ice palace. She wanted to meet the lord of winter, lord Milori.
She floated over the winter landscape, when a huge snowy owl silently landed in front of her. Smiling, lord Milori jumped from owl s' back. "Clarion what are you doing here?"
"Do I need any permission Milori? I am the queen of all pixie hollow" she replied playfully. "Lets' walk"
"Of course your highness" he replied in a mock surrender, dismissing his snowy owl.
"Last night, we received an unusual new arrival…" she began holding into his arm and walking among the frost covered pine trees.
Meanwhile…
Young Melda sat on the fallen log at the border, thinking. It had become her favorite place already. Only the sound of flowing water came to her ears, and the faint sounds of animals from the springtime square. Suddenly she heard a sound, behind her. She turned her head to see a young winter fairy, dressed in a short icy blue top and a white lacy snowflake skirt. Her shoulder length hair was black but the curled ends were a frosty white. Newcomer smiled.
"you must be the new arrival"
"yes, I am Melda, what is your name?"
"I'm Stiria*, call me Ria" she said sitting beside Melda. "so what is your talent?"
