Clarion was in her throne room along with the Minsters of the seasons.
"Queen Clarion we must do something about Cindar, after last nights attack we can't just ignore him, we must find him" the Minister of Winter said.
"We have to, how long until he destroys other parts of Pixie Hollow" the Minister of Summer said.
"We can't do that, the Spring Festival is tomorrow and everything is setup, if we must find him leave it until after the festival" the minister of Spring said.
The ministers were arguing with each other, Clarion was deep in thought, thinking hard on if Tink saw was real, she doubt that it was Cindar that did what happened.
"Queen Clarion?' one of the ministers asked with concern.
Clarion was too deep in thought to acknowledge the question.
"Queen Clarion?" the minster asked again but louder.
This caught her attention and she looked up.
"Yes?" she asked.
"What should we do?" the Minister of Spring asked her.
"Do about what?' she asked.
The ministers looked at each other confused.
"Should we cancel the Spring festival or not?" the Spring minister asked her.
Queen Clarion thought about this, surely if this was Cindar doing this, which she seriously doubted it was, he wouldn't attack other fairies.
"The Festival will go on as plan, tomorrow when it starts at dusk place several fairy guards on the boundary of the tree to keep watch" the Queen said.
The ministers nodded to this.
"That is everything, be on your way" Clarion said and left the room.

Cindar was with Ember in a large open area, several torches lighted up the area, the two were practicing their fighting with fire. Cindar realized Ember was very good but that was probably because he's had much longer training than himself.
"You good" Cindar said.
"Thanks" Ember said.
The two were at opposite ends, Cindar threw a ball of fire at Ember but he quickly moved out of the way. Cindar moved his arm in a whipping motion and a long fire whip formed in his hand. Ember stared at the whip, the only other fairy he had seen do that before was the King who was very powerful.
"You looked stunned" Cindar said.
"Come on then" Ember said throwing a ball of fire at Cindar.
Cindar was quick with the fire whip, he intercepted the fire ball and destroyed it in mid air. Ember was stunned by this.
"Ember, I wanna asked something" Cindar said.
"Ok what is it" Ember said.
"Why are we practicing fighting?" Cindar asked.
"Well it's-"
"Very good" a voice interrupted.
The two turned to see who it was, it was the king.
"Thank you your highness" Ember said bowing his head.
The king looked over at Cindar, he had seen the whole thing.
"Ember I need to talk to you" the king said.
"Yes King" he said.
The two fairies walked off leaving Cindar behind. Ember and the King were standing around a round stone table talking to each other.
"Why did you want to speck to me you highness?" Ember asked.
"I need you do something" the king told him.
The room they were in didn't have a door, instead their was an archway, the room was a long walk away from any other room so no one came this way and no one could hear them, except for Cindar who had followed them their. Cindar was curious as to what was going on here, he knew something was going on.
"The fire you started the other day was good, it gave the Queen a warning, but tonight they are having a festival, I want you to introduce yourself to them, tell we are coming, and we want Pixie Hollow" the King told him with his hands on the table.
Ember nodded, he understood what he to do. What the two didn't know was there unexpected eavesdropper. Cindar was horrified at what he was hearing, what is he planning he thought to himself. Whatever it is, it's not good, I have to leave and warn Clarion he thought to himself. Cindar got up and started to run down the hall to where he thought the way out was. Just as he got to the end a large wall of fire erupted from the ground. Cindar knew he had been discovered and turned to see who he knew would be Ember and the King. He turned to see he was right. Standing not to far away from him were the two fire fairies.
"Oh Cindar, I thought you would of been smarter, you seriously thought we wouldn't noticed you spying on us" the King said.
"What are you planning you bastard" Cindar said with much anger.
"That is something you better off not knowing about, Ember take him away" the king said.
Ember moved fast, so fast that he had already knocked Cindar before he could even make a move, the two stood over the unconscious body of him.
"Take him to cells" the king said then walked away leaving Ember to take care of the body.
The Next day
Cindar woke up with a headache. He looked around at his surroundings.
"Funny isn't it" a voice said
Cindar looked forward at the stone bars keeping him in the cell.
"Stone?" Cindar asked confused.
The voice revealed itself. It belonged the dark skinned fire fairy Ember.
"You really thought we would have wooden cells? Did you forget that fire burns wood" Ember said.
"Your plan, you won't succeed" Cindar said.
Ember was enraged by this, he walked right up to the bars where Cindar was and kicked him in the knees. Ember smiled as Cindar was on his knees looking up at him.
"You don't understand, Fire fairies are much more powerful than the others" Ember said with self praising.
This caused Cindar to smile.
"If your so powerful why are you all stuck in this mountain?" he asked with a smart smile.
"Do you want to hear a story then do?" Ember asked.
Ember didn't wait for Cindar to reply.
"The king told the truth, the fire fairies were one of the first, except 5000 years ago, something different happened".
Cindar sat back and leaned against the stone wall and listened.
" A war happened, Queen Clarion was weak, along with the rest of the fairies of other talents, the only ones that have any powers are us, the ones of fire. The King wanted the Queen to step down, he believed he himself to be much more suited to rule the Hollow, and he is. She refused, a war started, 780 fire talent pixies against 4000 others, we nearly won, like I said we are much more powerful, there was just more of them. The Queen banished what remained of us to Kytos fang, their was only 50 of us left. Now their is 200 of us, but only 800 of them, The King found a way to take away a fairies talents and give them the power of fire, he enslaved them, to form an army".
"How do you know this?' Cindar asked shocked from the story.
"I was there" Ember said then walked off leaving Cindar to comprehend what he had just heard.
"If 730 of them killed over 3000 of them, they don't stand a chance now" Cindar said to himself.
I have to get out of here and warn the Queen.
"I have to get out of here, but how?" he asked himself.
I have to warn them, to save them, to save Fawn. He clenched his hands around the stone pillars.
"I'll use what I know, fire".
Using all his energy Cindar heated up his palms. He started to sweat and hurt, he tensed his arms. He could sense the stone getting extremely hot. After 20 minutes the unthinkable happened, the stone started to melt,, the fire was too much for it. Cindar didn't think he ran out of his cell. He was running down a stone hall when he was stopped by three male fire guards. They were wearing matching red shirt and pants, all three had pale skin and short brown hair.
"You're not going anywhere" the one standing in the middle said.
Cindar knew he could easily take care of them. using his powers he made a fire whip in each hand, using his flaming whips he slammed the guards on the side of the middle one into the walls with a loud thud. The middle one looked at his fallen comrades in horror, he was scared. The guard loosed a fire blast and Cindar who easily dodged it. Cindar counted with a similar but large fire blast back at the guard. The guard took the full force of it and was knocked out. Cindar walked over the the middle guard and noticed something under the guards leaf belt. It was a round rock with a bright orange circle on it with a x cross in it. Cindar started at it, the lines looked like they were on fire.
Cindar finally made it to where he came in, luckily without meeting any other guards. On the wall was a symbol matching the one on the rock he grabbed.
"Now how do I get out of here?" he asked himself.
Suddenly the rock Cindar was still holding in his hand began to glow from the lines. Cindar looked down at it confused, but instantly he found himself in the Winter Woods.
"The rock was a key" he said surprised.
Cindar covered his wings in flames, he had to warn to Queen. He flew off back to Pixie Dust tree as fast as he could before anything bad happened to it.
