Okay, so I sort of lied a little bit about it being so long until my next update. I saw reviews and I was just inspired to continue while I wait for this hunk of junk to render this 3D model for 3D animation. (Rendering takes FOREVER by the way.)

MistyLilyValley: Why thank you! I wanted to show a more emotional side of Robin, to show that she's really being affected by this crisis.

The Fallen Author 19: I'm sure you are half right ;)

Disclaimer: I only own Cristov and Robin, (and I guess technically Wade, although he's just a throwaway character).

Over the course of the next two days, the healthy fairies injected those infected with the water fairies' blood, and gradually the infected started to wake up. As Cristov was injecting a light fairy, Wade walked in. "Queen Clarion has requested your presence."

"Just let me finish up," Cristov responded. After removing the syringe, he bandaged up the wound with a leaf and a blade of grass. Hand on the fairy's head, he stood up and followed Wade out of the tent all the way up to Queen Clarion's quarters.

"She's in there," Wade said, gesturing towards the door.

Before Cristov could knock, Queen Clarion's voice came from the room saying, "It's okay Cristov, just come in." So, Cristov walked right in. "I am pleased to see you are doing well," Cristov said.

"All thanks to you," she replied. "So, how was your trip into the Winter Woods?"

Cristov then began to recount his tale of his journey to find the Keeper. When he mentioned Periwinkle, he thought he saw a tear in Queen Clarion's eye, but he dismissed it as none of his business and proceeded to tell her everything (except his realization that he could save spring on his own).

"That was quite a journey," Queen Clarion said when Cristov finished. "Now, I only have one request: Take a break. I forbid you to do any work for the next week, and that includes helping the infected fairies."

"Yes ma'am," Cristov said. This is perfect as it will give me the opportunity to get all the birds ready to bring everything to the mainland.

"You are dismissed. And Cristov…"

Cristov turned.

"Thank you," she said, smiling.

Cristov merely smiled back before leaving the room.

For the rest of the day, Cristov talked to all kinds of birds, instructing them to meet at Springtime Square late that night. He considered gathering the water fairies as well, but he figured they were preoccupied with the infected.

The Night before Spring…

Cristov climbed onto a sparrow as he looked around at the gathered birds. Once he saw that all was ready, he gave the signal and they flew off towards the mainland.

Little did Cristov know, someone was spying on him. That person was none other than Robin. What is he doing, she wondered. He couldn't really be trying to bring winter to the mainland himself, or could he?! Oooh, I don't want to disturb her, but the Queen has to know. She then proceeded to fly towards the Pixie Dust Tree.

On the Mainland…

Once he arrived, Cristov immediately went to work. First, he sprinted from lake to lake, using light to melt the ice. He then proceeded to melt the snow before he planted the seedlings. Within only about two hours, he had managed to complete the tasks of every single talent, and not a moment too soon, for the sun was just starting to rise.

"Finally," he panted, looking around at his handiwork. "Come on," he said to the birds as he climbed onto his sparrow. "Let's go home." They then took off, heading back towards Neverland. But, the stress from doing so much work in so short a time had taken a toll on Cristov. Unable to remain conscious for any longer, he passed out, slipping off his bird and plummeting back down to the Mainland.

Back at Pixie Hollow…

"The birds!" a sentinel shouted. "They're returning!"

All of the fairies who were capable of flying travelled towards Springtime Square as fast as they could. Robin, instead, flew to intercept the birds. "Cristov?" she called. "Cristov?!" Not seeing him, she started to panic. "Cristov! Where are you?!" Realizing he wasn't among the returning birds, she fluttered down to the ground, bawling her eyes out.

The newly recovered Queen Clarion rushed to Robin's side to comfort her. "Viola!" Queen Clarion called. "I want you to round up as many fairies who are currently capable of travelling to the mainland and have them search for Cristov!"

"Right away," Viola said.

"Don't worry," Queen Clarion whispered to Robin as she held her close to her chest. "We'll find him, you'll see."

Well, this story should conclude in the next chapter, or if I somehow get a sudden brilliant idea, within the next two chapters. I haven't decided on Cristov's fate as of yet, so don't automatically assume one or the other. Again, please rate/review, and also again, thank you so much for reading this!
