Sorry I haven't updated this story for a while but that doesn't mean that some of you who like this story can start depanding updates. I don't mind when you ask, but I posted a new story yesterday and you were asking in reviews for that story for me to update this story. Could you please keep reviews on my other stories about my other stories, not this story? Thank you.
Also I am very sorry I didn't update yesterday. This site wouldn't let me load the page to update. Sorry but it was not my fault. I didn't update on the 7th because I took a day off. I was thinking of making all thursdays my day off from posting as I update daily. If I do decide this, I will post it on my profile page :)
I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Clarion was sitting on a small sofa inside the royal library. It was made from the finest dandelion fluff. She stared outside the window beside her, watching the sun set while wondering how she would spend the next day by herself. It had been a lonely week for Clarion since Scarlet had left for the Mainland and Milori was working full time due to helping winter fairies start on winter preparations again. There was then a small knock on the wooden oak door.
"Come in," Clarion called, trying to mask her sadness. The door pushed open and a winter fairy stepped in.
"Hello love," a voice came. Clarion turned around to find the Lord of Winter smiling at her.
"Hello Milori. How was your day?" she returned the smile as Milori shut the door.
"More importently, how was your day?" he walked towards her and sat down "How is our little fairy doing?" Milori gently rested his hand on Clarion's stomach. His touch made her shiver from delight.
"Fine, thank you." Clarion faked a smile but Milori wasn't convinced.
"Clarion, surely after all these years you don't believe I would fall for that? There is no need to put my feelings before yours." he insisted. She sighed.
"Honestly, these past few days have been rather... lonely..." Clarion admitted.
"...without Scarlet?" Milori's eyes were full of concern and she refused to meet his gaze.
"...without either of you..." Clarion replied quietly. Milori smiled when he felt something press against his hand.
"I doubt that." he chuckled. Clarion looked down to see his hand on her stomach. She saw it move slightly again and couldn't help but smile.
"You're not alone, Clarion." Milori wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you." he gently kissed her cheek.
"I love you too, Milori." Clarion looked deeply into his brown eyes and saw only love. "How I lived without you before is beyond me." Milori chuckled.
"I think the same thing." he placed his lips on hers. The familar feeling of their lips together only made both fairies smile with glee.
Clarion opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Milori.
"Good morning Clarion," he smiled back.
"Good morning Milori. Do you have any business to attend to today?" Clarion hoped that she could have a day with her lover. Since Scarlet had left two weeks ago to help on the Mainland, Clarion had been mostly on her own, thinking about Malika...
"Today I made sure I didn't have anything to attend to, so today I'm yours." Milori assured her.
"Thank you, Milori." Clarion could feel excitement course through her at the thought of spending the whole day with her lover.
"Wow!" Lizzy gasped as Tinkerbell, Bobble, Clank and Scarlet finished reenacting how Scarlet was born and explained that only the queen could give birth.
"So your mother and father are the queen and lord in Pixie Hollow?" she smiled.
"Yes!" Scarlet beamed.
"Incredible!" Lizzy giggled as she quickly wrote it down in her journal. They had now created a second journal explaining about Queen Clarion, Lord Milori and the Winter Woods in full detail.
"I never knew that a fairy's can't withstand the cold of winter." Lizzy smiled as she flicked throught the pages to their new journal.
Page 1:
Fairies in Pixie Hollow have a queen called Queen Clarion and she is married to the Lord of Winter. She is taller than other fairies and can change into a stream of golden Pixie Dust! Queen Clarion is smart, kind and a good queen. She helps make sure all the seasons are prepared for to change each season. Queen Clarion also has all the warm fairy talents.
There was also a picture drawn of a tall fairy with a golden dress and large wings. Underneath was written in black ink 'Queen Clarion - Queen of Pixie Hollow'.
Page 2:
In the winter part of Pixie Hollow, where all fairies live, there is a lord. His name is Lord Milori and he loves Queen Clarion. He makes sure the winter fairies change the seasons every year and he helps make sure everything is OK in the winter part of Pixie Hollow. Lord Milori is tall but his wings are broken because he went into the warm part of Pixie Hollow a long time ago. Now he can cross the borders easily because he has a magic neglace. He is smart, loyal and kind. Lord Milori also has all the winter fairy talents.
There was another picture drawn above the writing. The drawing was of a tall fairy with a sleeveless top and cape. He was surrounded by snowflakes and was standing in the snow. Underneath was written 'Lord Milori - Lord of Winter'.
Page 3:
Queen Clarion and Lord Milori have a daughter called Princess Scarlet. She is kind, a great friend and a good princess. She has all the fairy talents, warm and cold. Scarlet has golden wings like her mother's and loves hearing about her parent's history. One day Scarlet will get Pixie Hollow and she will be queen! Her wings are golden when she is in spring, but are silver in winter.
Above was a drawing of a fairy with brown hair and eyes. She also had a silver tiara on and was standing half in spring and half in winter. Underneath was the words 'Princess Scarlet - Future Queen of Pixie Hollow'
Page 4:
On the winter side of Pixie Hollow is the Winter Woods. There winter fairies live and warm fairies go to visit. Whenever winter fairies go into the warm, their wings break from the warm unless their wearing a special amulet. If warm fairies go into the Winter Woods without having frost on their wings, there wings will break. The lord of the Winter Woods is Lord Milori. Queen Clarion helps him sometimes. In the Winter Woods are places like Sled Moutain, the Frost Forest and Ice Hill. Winter fairies practise their frost skills there and also sledge.
There was then a drawing of Ice Hill covered in snow. On the top were fairies sledging down happily.
Meanwhile...
"Terence, have you seen Princess Scarlet?" Hyacinth floated over to the young sparrowman and hoped he had a positive reply. Milori would surely kill him if he found out that he had lost his and Clarion's daughter...
"Uh... Not since yesterday. I haven't seen Tink either." Terence replied, frowning. Hyacinth sighed and continued to ask fairies around the camp, hoping somebody would know of Scarlet's location. It was then did he remember the nearby human house...
Back in Pixie Hollow...
"Clarion, how have your past few days been without either me or Scarlet?" Milori smiled as he and Clarion strolled through the white snow in the Winter Woods. Today was Milori's day off, much to Clarion's relief. The past few days had been lonely without her lover or her daughter. Most hours had been spent on her own.
"Honestly, Milori, they were terrible." Clarion admitted. She hated to say it for she knew it would pain Milori to hear such words. Milori frowned.
"Would you care for me to be with you until Scarlet returns? I could explain to the Ministers and-"
"The Ministers would not be impressed with such an excuse." Clarion interupted. Both fairies knew it was true; which was what pained them the most to speak about it.
"Perhaps so, but you need me. The Ministers do not understand what it's like to have a family and a beautiful wife in need of comfort." Milori stated as he gently squeezed her hand in his.
"I'm fine, Milori. It is only Scarlet I worry for." Clarion assured him.
"Well, if Scarlet is indeed in danger, I would certainly know who to blame." Milori chuckled, unaware of what was happening on the Mainland...
THERE! Stop demanding updates from this story on my other stories, please. It really does irritate me. I hope you enjoy this chapter, nevertheless. Goodbye for now!
