Chapter 37 Love Never Fails

The day continued for Trixie, Timmy, Tootie, and Max talking about the Creation account, with Wanda guiding the four in their conversation.

For some reason, Jorgen has some things he has to deal with, and Cosmo, as usual, chose to goof off...

The three Wand wielders are astound on how it happened in Max's Universe, and are are also surprised on Wanda answered the questions the three are raising without hiding anything.

In fact, they could literally imagine that what the Bible said is actually the truth that also applies in their world...

"So, to get this straight..." Timmy remarked "I could easily wish a real T-rex and it could actually be a plant-eater?"

"Well, if we could bypass that law that Britain placed, yes..." Wanda remarked "But it wouldn't survive that long. You see, they needed a high-protein diet, and the plants that gave it to them went extinct after the Flood..."

"Well, that would rule it out..." Trixie remarked "How about aliens? Atlanteans? Crimson Denizens? Wow, there are tons of things to ask for."

"Well, that's another story that..." this is when Max noticed her sister coming towards them, somehow looking sober and lost in thought. Timmy asked "What's wrong?" and Max just replied "Well, nothing..." Trixie, Timmy, and Tootie saw May walking towards them, and they even greeted them. May just manages to pull off a smile at them, as if nothing's wrong. But knowing May, Max said in his mind that something wrong happened to her.

May manages to sit beside her brother, with her rubbing his brother's head, which, for Max, is something unusual for her to do. She then said to Wanda "Well, can I join your conversation? Maybe I could help..."

"Um, sis, what's wrong?" Max asks, with May just smiling at him saying "I'm fine..."

Wanda noticed this, and said "May, you seem to have a problem, are you really..."

"I'm fine Wanda..." May just continue to shed a sheepish smile at her, but Wanda just reacted "I know that face, something's wrong..."

"Well... it's just nothing..." May replied, but Wanda demanded "May, can we talk, um, away from the kids?"

"Why?"

"You'll see..."

"Hey, why are we not allowed to..."

"Timmy, this is something that you would understand in the right age..." Wanda said towards him, in which Timmy pouted back and said to her "Ok..."

Max observed them from a distance, and began to ask whether something wrong happened to her sister...

But then, Timmy began to ask "Hey Max, please, tell us about the aliens..."

"Hopefully I could answer that..." Max remarked with a sweatdrop, since he needed Wanda to answer it properly...


Upon distancing themselves, Wanda asks the teenager "May, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, really!" May told her, with her smile trying to hide something. Wanda noticed a forming tear in her closed eyes. She hovered closed to May, touching the tear on her eyelid, and replied "May, you can't hide hide it from me, it's ok to share it to me... besides, I'm a fairy..."

This is when multiple tears began to flow from May eyes, and she immediately hugged Wanda extremely tight, with Wanda surprised at her action. Wanda heard what May said to her, wailing "Wanda, I don't know what to do! I committed a bad mistake! I'm so sorry Wanda for trying to hide it from you, and even from my brother!"

"It's ok May..." Wanda said, trying to comfort her with her hand "What is wrong, sport?"

"Me and Drew did a horrible thing to each other... we violated the seventh commandment... and we are punished to never again see each other and to never join the Intervention..."

This is the first time Wanda heard such a plea. Sure, when she and Cosmo got married, such an urge is not present in them. In fact, Poof is the result of a wish of Timmy, and not their own decision...

But she knows one thing: this is something that she shouldn't pass by... and she knows that May is thinking, that there is no longer any hope of forgiveness for her.

"May, it's ok. You still make mistakes... I know that the Lion can still forgive you..."

"But He is the very person who ordered Jorgen to punish me and Drew, to not be able to see each other..." May replied, as Wanda felt the pain that accompanied her. She is in conflict, from guilt, from condemnation, as the Lion made a punishment for her. But knowing the power of guilt, and the also the power of the truth, Wanda just replied a simple statement:

"May, maybe because Aslan knows what you did is wrong... and the consequence if you continued to meet each other." Wanda remarked, with her saying "Can we sit down and talk?"

At such, the two broke their hug, and May sat down with her wiping her own tears, which reminded Wanda on the times her female godparents acted after they cried, mostly from their first heartbreak, even though the farthest they did is a not-so-innocent kiss. Wanda then floated near her, saying "May, can I asked you why did you two did that in the first place?"

"Is that really a good question Wanda?" May replied to her, with Wanda saying "Yes..."

May thought deeply, and she just simply replied "Because I thought I love him so much, that we can do that thing..."

"And you completely ditched the fact that Someone else loved you more than you love each other, right?" Wanda replied, with her trying her best to not nag.

"What do you mean Wanda?"

"You do remember what Aslan become when He visited your World, right?"

"Yeah..."

"I remember what He once said: whoever loves his father, mother, brother and sister more than Him will not inherit the Kingdom... It doesn't mean that you should disown your family, but it means that you should love Him even more than how you loved your loved ones..."

"But I love Him more than Drew..."

"So why did you even committed that sin?" Wanda said, which struck May... and she became silent. She remembered the events that happened last night, and the times she forgot about this simple truth that could've prevented them from falling into this trap...

Wanda simply tapped her back and said "May, remember that the entire thing happening around is the result of rebellion? In fact, the root of rebellion is this: the wish of finding worth on something and someone other than Him, to the point you choose to forsake Him in favor of that thing. May, what you and Drew did is simply a mirror of what you think about each other... that is, your relationship is worth more than what He did for you, that cost His very dear Life..."

May become silent on Wanda's comment. Knowing about the power of the conscience, Wanda continued... "You know what, May, what is the great thing about His love? It is so great that if you repent, turn away, and choose to follow Him, your guilt will be removed. Yes, you might be scarred today, and yes, you have to bear the consequence for your life, but just as He said... sin no more..."

"But can He still accept me, can He still forgive Me?" May said. Wanda just responded "Yes... May, if Aslan really wanted to punish you so much that you are no longer worthy of being forgiven, He could've sent you immediately back on earth, or even worse than that, but still, here you are, talking to me, as if He is saying that you still have a chance..."

"Perhaps I have to just asked Him for forgiveness, and promise that I won't hurt Him once again, and maybe..." At that, she began to think about it, with some of her tears flowing, as she continued "...even break up with Drew..."

"That's a great one sport..." Wanda said "But I do suggest that you talk to Him directly for that one. You see, all ten of you can seek to Him directly, and that's a very great privilege. Some people even wish to actually have such honor!"

"Thank you Wanda..." At that, May stood up, and said "... sorry for interrupting your mission..."

"No worries..." she replied "...I'm just doing one of my jobs as a fairy godparent: a councilor..."

At that, May began to walk on towards some path, with Wanda staring at her, saying "I hope she'll be alright..."


Cosmo, on the other hand is trying out things without Wanda, and away from Timmy, as he is forbidden to 'screw-up' the important conversation she, Max and the Wand Trio are having...

In fact, he is surprised to know that such a day-off happened in his life... that is until he saw Drew walking and kicking some dirt and rocks inside the Fairy World, with his Roserade out trying to console him for something. It is as if he has done a big mistake in his life.

Cosmo floated to him, with his smile on, and said "Hey, green-haired..."

"Wow, it's actually you, Cosmo..." Drew remarked, while kicking up a piece of rock on the ground towards an empty cloud field. "I don't want to talk to someone today..."

"Why? You can talk to the other Guardians..."

"No, they would judge me..." Drew said to him in a snub, with Cosmo saying "Well, doing the Paul snub, huh?"

"Don't compare me to that jerk..." Drew replied to him "I'm not him..."

"Well, maybe I could cheer you up a bit..."

"Thanks, but no thanks..."

Upon hearing this, Cosmo just blinked, as it seemed like Drew is out of his usual attitude of enjoying life. "Oh, but why?"

"None of your business."

"Oh, it's because of May, isn't it"" At that, Drew just said "It... it isn't about her." He then turned around from him and said "Get out of here..."

Just then, Roserade began to speak to Cosmo in his own Poke-language, with Cosmo saying "Oh, why?". Roserade kept on speaking, which Cosmo yelled "They did WHAT!"

"So you already know..." Drew said, with Cosmo saying "Well, you did deserve it..."

"Why would we deserve it, we loved each other, thus..."

"You committed a horrible mistake?" Cosmo said to him, with him trying to guilt trip him, saying "Well, you did deserve it... besides, after all that Aslan did to you, on how much He loves you, you still choose to take advantage of her and pushed her beyond the limits of your relationship, and you are punished by Aslan as a result... oh well, I'm off then..." He was about to float away when Drew yelled "Wait..."

Now finally taking his attention, Cosmo said "What... I know, because you wanted to talk to someone on how to get out of this, right?"

"Yeah..." Drew replied. "Well, I'm afraid to talk to the other guys because they might judge me for what I did..."

"Try me..." Cosmo said "Yeah, I may have done some pretty crazy stuff like sinking Atlantis 7 times... make that 8... but that is because I was born with a part of the Fall in me! Well, Jorgen hated me because of this tendencies of mine, so..."

"Well..." Drew then began to talk to what happen last night, which Cosmo reminded of what he took notice last night...


Cosmo was just strolling last night when he went by an alley in order to visit Drew and May, as he heard that they have planned to date that night. Suddenly, he was grabbed by a muscular hand and was almost about to panic when Jorgen voice said "Be quiet..."

"Oh Jorgen, it's just you..." Cosmo said. He then noticed that even Cupid was there, where he yelled "Cupid, hey..."

"SHH!" Cupid remarked, with him saying "We are tracking this demon that entered Fairy world..."

"Wait, I thought New Fairy World is virtually impregnable to them?"

"Be quiet Cosmo..."

Just then, they heard the voice of a female saying "Well, I successfully tempted those two... suckers for love..."

A darker, much more sinister voice then replied "I know you would, Jezebel... nothing more surprising than one of my top agent..."

"Jezebel... isn't she..."

"Shh..." Cupid remarked "I wonder who she targeted..."

"Yeah..." Jorgen remarked. "Cupid, how many times did you tried to use that bow of yours on the Ten Guardians?"

"I tried it on May and Drew, and multiple attempts on Paul and Dawn, Kenny was already struck years ago..."

"Well, should I count the time I borrowed your bow to try save Misty when she wished herself to be a Poliwag?"

"So you DID steal that bow, instead of the other bow?" Cupid stared at him angrily, with him saying "Now I know the mystery why this Serena girl is appearing in my records..."

"Haven't I told you to stop indiscriminately fire that arrows around Cupid?" Jorgen remarked. "You tried it on Paul and Dawn, even if you know that..."

"It is an honor to serve you Ur' nado, and soon, your place in the Heavenly Realms shall be secured..." the voice of Jezebel sounded one last time. After that, the sound of them disappearing into a portal was heard, and in a matter of milliseconds, both of the mysterious entities vanished.

"That is one creepy encounter..." Cosmo said.

"Sure... but who among the humans have they tempted?" Cupid remarked.

"We will learn tomorrow..." Jorgen replied


After Drew is finished, with an obvious dread in his face, since deep inside, what he did is wrong, and he is now rememebering the consequences of doing such an act. Cosmo may seem to be dumb, but he knows how to deal in such situations...

"Well, it's amazing on how you actually said it..." Cosmo said "How about we go to Cupid and start a conversation to him? You know, he's the fairy expert when it comes to these things."

"Why didn't I think of that..." Drew remarked. "Cosmo, can you bring me to him?"

On an instant, Cosmo transferred them towards Cupid's place, where Cupid is seen monitoring on what is happening on earth using a monitor, and on the screen, monitoring the lives of several young adults, teenagers and adults in their world, in pairs as if they are representing that those people are fated to be.

Cupid is also appearing and disappearing, with each appearance of him holding different types of equipment, from phones, to arrows, to mugs, while several Muglox Fairies are flying around his lair, helping him in accordance to a directive passed by King Marumo to aid in Cupid's mission to pair different people up.

Cosmo then yelled "Cupid, you have a customer!"

"Oh please, I'm busy Cosm..." Cupid was about to take them for granted when he saw who was with him. In fact, he was shocked on who is the one who fell for Jezebel's temptation. He then said "Binky, I have to talk to someone for a while..." and closed the phone he held. He floated near the two and remarked "Oh, welcome Drew, what made you come here?"

"Well, it's about some love problems, Cosmo referred me to you..." the green-haired trainer calmly replied.

"What is it, an issue between you and May? Well, I can solve..."

"Um, Cupid, remember what we saw last night?" Cosmo responded, with Cupid continuing to blabber. He then snapped out, hearing what Cosmo is trying to imply and said "Wait, repeat it again Cosmo?"

"Um..." Cosmo began to randomly said "Sweets!" and charged at the group of sweets specifically made for the entire Muglox Fairies to enjoy. As expected, Cosmo was zapped by them and dropped to the ground, all while yelling "CURSE YOU FAIRIES OF THE OTHER WORLD!"

"Um, Drew, didn't you spend time with May last night?"

"More than that..." Drew said, while puffing some air and saying "Can I speak to you privately?"


"So let me get this straight..." Cupid said as the two are sitting in a private room "You are in conflict between your love for May, your guilt for what you two have done, and for your love for Aslan, right?"

"Yes... and... I can't tell it to my friends because..."

"You fear that they might judge you..." Cupid remarked. "Yes, it's pretty much a common phenomena recently, and you don't understand the consequence..."

"What do you mean?"

At that, Cupid then brought out his wand on two things on the table... one is a rose in bloom, with thorns on it, and the other is a rusted nail, that seemed to be from some time long ago...

"Drew, can I admit to you that it is rare for me to talk someone with such an amount of knowledge on who Aslan is?" Cupid told him "Now, can I ask you, if you where to choose, what would be the items you would give May?"

"Of course, it is the rose, since I've given them since the day I met her..." Drew replied. But then, Cupid replied "How about I tell you the story behind it?"

This is when Cupid then whisks his wand and the rose floated to the air "Drew, this rose is the most horrible gift that you can give. In fact, this is the very first flower to bloom after God cursed the earth to bear thorns. I kept this in this condition, as a reminder for myself that sometimes, the most beautiful thing you can think of, can actually be a result of a curse in disguise. In the same way, the sin that both of you committed is similar to this rose. Yes, it might be pleasurable, and yes, you did expressed your love for each other, but in the end, you have cursed yourselves to bear the guilt of committing a sin. In fact, if you have just seen what He has planned for the two of you, you would actually plead for you two to become pure before you are married to the ones assigned to you..."

"Alright! I've been reminded about that all day!" Drew suddenly stood up out of anger, but then, and series of deep breaths followed, with several tears dripping from his eyes, with him saying "It's just..."

"Drew, can you just look at the other item in front of you..." Drew noticed it and saw the same rusty nail he saw earlier. At that, Drew immediately turn his head away and said "Let me guess, you are going to remind me again on how cursed I am, am I right?"

"Well, yes... and no..." Cupid remarked. "You have guess it right, the nail is one of those used on the Cross that redeemed all humankind 2000 years ago... and you would want to hear the story of this thing..."

At that, Cupid began to tell the following:

"Before the Earth began to form, God saw the need of humanity to be saved even before they have sinned, and in doing so, he made an iron ore. This iron ore is set apart for a special purpose. His brothers have been used to become the majestic thrones of kings and rulers, but he was mined to only be turned into an ordinary nail. He is even set aside to rust for years before someone decided to use him, set aside for those to be executed on the most gruesome and inhumane death ever to exists. And guess what he turned out to be: The very nail that pierced the Savior..."

He then continued "... and Drew, even before your parents saw you in their plans, He already loved you. In fact, He is willing to change you. If you feel condemned because of your sins, remember this: There is nothing that could separate you from His love, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor demons, nor rulers, nor the past, nor the future, nor height, nor depth, nor any creature that ever existed! Drew, the reason why He probably used that punishment on you is because He wants you to realize that His love is the only thing that can fulfill that gap of love in your heart, and until you learn that His love is sufficient enough to fulfill that longing, that guilt will remain. Worse, you might try to search for things to fulfill that gap, making you run away from Him, and I believe that you do not want that either."

At that, Drew began to think deeply, and said "Um, Cupid, can you bring me before Him..."

"Oh sure..."

Cupid and Drew came before the room where the Lion is. He stared at Him, who seemed to be twice more terrifying than before, but Drew began to bow down before Him, pouring out his entire heart, and said "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty... I'm so sorry for turning behind your back for May... I'm so sorry for choosing to follow what I feel is right, even if it is against what you you wanted me to do..."

It is then no surprise that May arrived in the room. She even saw Drew in such a posture, a sign of humility on his part, and this struck May so much, that she somehow begins to tear up. In fact, she heard what Drew said...

"...if it even means leaving May for you, even if it means breaking up for her, I'll do it..."

May couldn't help but be in tears, as that is the reflection of her heart's own cry...

That no matter what they feel, it will be His final say that will rule...

That His love will prevail, and their love for each other is nothing for what He has given to them...

In fact, at that moment, May also bowed down, silently praying for forgiveness, and a promise to never do that mistake again. She begged for at least, a restoration of her now-wounded heart. She even wished for her and Drew's relationship being restored, but she promised one thing:

He will hold the final say, and if they are not the ones meant for each other, they would gladly accept it.

After this, the Lion then stared at them, and spoke to them the following words:

"May, Drew, you are already forgiven, but sin no more..."

They where surprised on what the Lion said, but then never even dared to check whether both of them are present in the room. Just then, He said something that surprised both of them:

"The two of you, I have something for you to do..."


"What could Drew's problem be?" Ash said while talking to Barry about Drew's unusual avoidance to them.

"Well, we don't know..." Barry said "And I heard from Dawn that even May is acting weird..."

"In that case..." Just then, Drew came near them and said "Well, sorry for being such a fool of not seeing you today..."

"Well, you seemed to be upbeat today..." Barry remarked, with the Drew simple replied "Well, it is. Can we go and gather the others to make a study group?"

"A study group? But isn't it that..."

"Oh come on Ash, you're the leader, you could approve it!"

"Well, I might..." But then Drew just happily made a friendly gesture by tapping his back and saying "Come on, you two, we can easily just do it."

From afar, Jorgen observed it and said "Well, I never thought it will be quick..." Aslan came near him and said "I told you that there's a reason why I chose them..."

"Well, you are a forgiving One, I say..." Jorgen replied "But why didn't you ordered me to fight that demon when she appeared? You know, I could easily crush her with my wand"

"Because I know that they would not give in..." Aslan remarked "But even if they did, I know that they'll turn back, repent, and be strong enough to share to both Shana and Yuji what love really is... that sometimes, what they think the greatest form of love is actually the weakest. In fact, those two will be a testament of what True Love is before the Denizens..." At that, Aslan told Jorgen "It is is now time to for me to speak to the three children about the future, so that each of them could warn Rachel of what will happen next..."

"Well, it is now time that the GKND will now be revealed..." Jorgen remarked "And that silly Patriarch of Chaotic Darkness thinks he can escape? Well, finally I can teach him the lesson for messing around our world!"
