Okay, so no reviews from the last chapter, but over 100 new views in the four days I was gone, I didn't have access to internet so that's th reason why. However, the good news is that I have finished not only chapter 7, but 8 as well and currently 9 is in progress. So, expect some new chapters coming in fast. Anyway, R&R, PM, and Enjoy.

Chapter 7

David slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times to adjust to the light. He coughed a little and looked around. He could see Nursing-talent fairies flying around, moving from place to place. He noticed there were some other fairies and a few sparrow men; some were on stone blocks with mats of leaves on top, others were talking either to the Nursing-talent fairies or amongst themselves. An infirmary, David guessed. He looked to his left and saw Tinker Bell and a few others just coming in. He tried to sit up, groaning a little. Once he had gotten up, he felt a hand pushing him back down. He looked up to see a Nursing-talent sparrow man.

"No, no, I'm fine," he said, trying to push the hand away. Tink and the others came over, and David finally convinced the sparrow man to let him sit up. The sparrow man went over to another patient, and David turned to the others.

"David, thank goodness your awake," said Tinker Bell.

"We were afraid you weren't going to wake up," said Iridessa.

"What are you guys talking about?" David asked, rubbing his eyes.

"David, you were unconscious for almost two days," Silvermist said. David looked up at them, disbelief in his eyes.

"I...no, I...it felt like only a few minutes."

"Being unconsciousness can do that," Rosetta said. David began rubbing his forehead, trying to force his brain into accepting the information.

"David?" Tinker Bell said, worry in her voice. "Are you feeling alright?" David moved his legs to the side of the block, and tried to stand up. His legs felt wobbly, but he was able to stand straight after a few seconds.

"I'm fine," he said, "I just need to see Queen Clarion. I have to ask her something important." He began to fly towards the door, and the others followed him. He stopped and turned to them. "Alone." He opened the doors and flew off towards the Pixie Dust Tree, leaving the others behind. Tinker Bell's face became serious and she flew after him, making sure he didn't notice her.

Once he arrived at the Tree, David found Queen Clarion and the Ministers near the pool of Pixie Dust. They noticed him arrive. Tinker Bell hid in one of the branches, hiding and listening in.

"Ah, David," the Minister of Autumn said. "Glad to see you're awake at last."

David breathed deeply, and said, "I overheard what you were talking about two days ago. You were talking about me, weren't you?" The Ministers' faces became surprised, then defeated. "I want to know. Why?" The Ministers turned to Queen Clarion, and she bowed her head.

"You have a special connection to the Pixie Dust Tree. When you came to Pixie Hollow, no one, not even I, knew that you had a hidden talent. The last fairy who had a hidden talent, was me." David gasped slightly. He thought Queen Clarion was born with her talent, not that she was like him. "Before I was the Queen of Pixie Hollow, there was another, Queen Amanda. When I was born, I too was born without wings." David thought that she might be lying, just to make him feel better.

But then, he heard the voice of the Tree. "She is not lying, young one. Have faith in those who have faith in you."

Queen Clarion then said, "I'm afraid that for us to continue, we must speak in private." The Ministers nodded their heads and flew away in single file. "And also, from prying ears."

She said the last part a little louder. David turned to see Tinker Bell fall out of her hiding place, and he exhaled. Tinker Bell flew off in embarrassment leaving David and Queen Clarion alone. "Please, follow me." Queen Clarion went to the opening into the Tree and David followed.

"When I was born, Queen Amanda told me that I was a special fairy, destined for great things. The petals that I came from were buttercup petals. My arrival garment was the same as the one I have now, but a lighter yellow." They came to a knot in the wall and Queen Clarion touched it, opening into a room filled with scrolls. There was a set of wooden stumps coming out of the floor, vaguely resembling a long table and six chairs. They sat down in two chairs, across from each other. "I was placed with the Tinker-talent fairies, and I wasn't much help. Luckily, there was one Tinker-talent who was a dear friend to me. You know her as Fairy Mary." David was a bit surprised. He never knew that Queen Clarion knew Fairy Mary, let alone be friends with her.

"Yes, its true. As I was saying, I wasn't much help around Tinker's Nook, but I loved to explore. Fairy Mary and I would go out and explore beyond Tinker's Nook every chance we got. But on one adventure, we went where no fairy had ever been before."

She paused for a moment, and David said, "Well, where was it?" Queen Clarion stood up and went to the wall of scrolls. She pulled a scroll out, and laid it on the table. David could see the wooden end had an engraving of a book on it. Queen Clarion searched through the scroll until her finger rested on a line. She said something, almost inaudible, but David could just make it out.

"Y'romem vocer ( pronounced E-row-mem vo-sair)."

The room began to shift, changing shape. The walls melted into woodland scenery, the chairs and tables turned into mushrooms and flowers. David and Queen Clarion stood up, and looked around. All around, the original walls of the library had been replaced.

Queen Clarion turned David's attention to a small river (compared to a fairy) with a log connecting the two sides. On the side they were on, it was warm and seemed to be about summer time. On the other side of the river, however, it looked as if a blizzard had covered the entire landscape.

"On the opposite side of the river lies the Winter Woods." David noticed that there were two fairies walking towards the log. One was slightly stout and wore a green dress, as if made from leaves. The second wore a yellow dress, and was calling back to the first fairy. "Come on Mary, this could be an adventure all its own," the fairy with the yellow dress said. David looked closer, and saw that she didn't have wings, just like was.

"Queen Clarion, is that...you?" he said, pointing at the wingless fairy.

"Indeed it is. When Fairy Mary and I first discovered the Winter Woods, we thought it would be a harmless adventure. That's when I met him." David looked back at the scene and saw the young Clarion had crossed the log halfway and was standing with a sparrow man. He had hair as white as the snow around him, ice blue eyes, and wore a sleeveless shirt and long pants with boots.

"He is Milori, a Winter sparrow man." David turned and saw Queen Clarion was smiling. "We fell in love, but I soon learned that there were dangers. If a fairy from the warm side crosses the border and stays for even a short period of time, their wings will freeze and break, leaving them unable to fly. It is the same for fairies of the Winter Woods, only their wings will melt and break." David looked back at the scene, which was now moving at a much faster pace.

"We met at the border almost every day, and since then our love grew stronger for each other. He wanted me to cross the border and see the wonders of the Winter Woods. Even if I didn't have wings to break, I knew that there were restrictions. He then decided that if I wouldn't be able to cross the border into his world, he would cross the border into mine. That, unfortunately, was where the trouble began."

The scene slowed down until it reached a certain point. Both Milori and the young Clarion were standing at the center of the log. Milori stepped forward, crossing the border. The two embraced before a shadow loomed above them. David looked up as the two did, and saw a large hawk circling above them. At the same time, two other fairies had appeared: the young Fairy Mary, and a fairy that looked like Queen Clarion but with darker skin, Queen Amanda he presumed. The two were flying towards them as if they were angry, but when they saw the hawk, they went for cover, trying to get the two to follow them. Queen Amanda pulled out a pouch and handed it to the young Clarion. She said something inaudible to Clarion and flew towards the hawk. The young Clarion tried to stop Queen Amanda, but to no avail. Queen Amanda flew straight at the hawk.

And in a second, she was gone, devoured.

The two fairies and sparrow man gasped in horror; Queen Clarion was holding back tears. David continued to watch as the young Clarion opened the pouch and pulled out a handful of Pixie Dust. She clenched it in her hands, apparently out of anger, and reopened it to find a butterfly made of Pixie Dust. The butterfly flew to her back and attached itself onto her. Her clothes rippled and changed from yellow to gold, and a pair of wings grew from her back. The group was astonished at first, and the young Clarion was motionless. The hawk charged again, and the young Clarion flew up to meet it. She spoke something inaudible, a spell most likely, and the hawk stopped. It flapped its wings, staying in a single position for a while.

Then, it flew off, as if it had never attacked. The young Clarion floated down to the other two and shared a brief moment of happiness and grief. Then, Milori clutched his abdomen and fell on his knees. David looked and saw his wing was melting, like ice. The young Clarion led him over to the border and helped him cross. His wing refroze and snapped.

His wing was broken.

"After that event, Milori and I made a new law, that no fairy from either side is to cross the border, or face the dire consequences." The scene began to blur, and the library returned. "I was made the new ruler of Pixie Hollow because of Queen Amanda's death, and I did my best to uphold the laws of Pixie Hollow."

David turned to Queen Clarion and said, "I'm sorry that happened to you Queen Clarion. I couldn't imagine what it must have felt like."

Queen Clarion placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "And I hope you never will."

She turned to the walls of the library and pulled out nine scrolls. She rolled up the scroll with the book engraving on it and stacked the scrolls together. She handed the scrolls to him and said, "Here, these scrolls contain basic spells from the ten basic talents. Read from them when you can, and we will practice when you think you are ready."

David held the scrolls in his hands and said, "Thank you Queen Clarion." David turned and left the library, leaving Queen Clarion by herself. She began to think about David's connection to the Tree, and also about Milori. She, too, then left the library.

Okay, so Milori makes and indirect appearance in this chapter. I am sorry to say, but he will not make a direct appearance. This story takes place after the first movie and before the second. So, the back story of Queen Clarion is finally revealed, and I'm quite impressed with it. Also, one last thing before the sign off, I am thinking of putting in another OC for chapter 10-I will explain once I get there-so put in your reviews an OC. Here are the guidelines:

Name: Name of the OC, should correspond with their talent (like how Silvermist is a Water-talent name.)

Appearance: Basic features (Hair color/style, eye color, clothing, etc.)

Talent: Should be one of the ten talents mentioned in chapter 1.

Personality: What is the OC like, likes/dislikes, fears (if any), and others.

Miscellaneous: Anything else I should know about the OC.

So, R&R with OCs, PM for criticisms, and "Au revoir"!
