#37 Fairy
I think this one is my favorite. After all, who doesn't believe in magic??
"What on Earth is that?!"
"Shhhhhhhhh! Lower your voice!" The princess of Mercury scolded as she pulled the excitable General back behind the bush where they were hidden, her hand covering his mouth. "You'll scare her away!"
The Lady giggled softly at Zoicite's put out expression. "Mmmmmphhhhh!" Still laughing, Mercury lowered her hand so that he could speak and added, "And, we are not on Earth, my lord. You will never see such magnificent sights nay else than the moon."
"I have to agree with you there, m'lady. But what is it?"
Parting back the bushes a little so that she could have a better view, a slow smile spread across her face. Zoicite just stared on in awe.
"'Tis naught but a fairy," she whispered. "A creature of mystic and mischief, laughter and beauty. It is very rare to lay your sights on one. Many have not been privileged to bear witness to it's magic."
"Magic, m'lady?"
Lady Mercury turned toward him then, a hint of a smirk playing at her lips.
"Do you not believe in magic, General?"
Zoicite scoffed and looked at his princess askance. "Of course I do," he replied. "It is a structure of the very foundation that my Kingdom as well as myself are built upon. I dabble in the magics myself, my dear."
Still smiling, Mercury inched closer to the blond man. "Then my fairy friend should not puzzle you so, am I correct?"
Pointing at the fairy, Zoicite continued. "That-"
"She," the lady corrected.
Zoicite huffed, still pointing. "She is a miniature woman. Full-blooded. That just defies all logic!"
Mercury cocked her head to the side like a curious puppy. "Logic, you say?" The blue haired young woman inched as close to Zoicite as modesty allowed. The General blushed slightly from their close proximity. When their lips were inches apart, she spoke again.
"Are you telling me that you have never done anything remotely illogical, General? You have never used magic for personal gain, or acted without preamble?"
Zoicite regarded the lady questioningly, pulling back slightly. "You're questioning me about handling a situation illogically? You, the daughter of the goddess of wisdom?"
"Answer the question, General."
Somewhat flustered, Zoicite answered. "Well, yes. I believe that I have. But," he hurriedly added. "But every action that I've taken has had a reasonable explanation."
Mercury leaned closer to Zoicite, bypassing his lips and stopping by his ear.
"Let me share something with you that a wise person once told me," She whispered. Zoicite shivered.
"You may have all of the logic in the universe, and be able to successfully survive, but if the belief is not in your heart, you cannot truly live."
With that, the elegant Lady Mercury melted into a pool of water in front of her General. Zoicite gasped in surprise for a moment, then considered the Lady's words. Pulling back the bush once more, he gazed upon the green hued creature once again. Smiling softly to himself, he began to teleport to find a fairy of his own.
