Chapter 8
David returned to his room and set the scrolls down on his bed. He looked at each of the wooden ends of the scrolls and saw they all had different engravings. There was an engraving of a hammer, a drop of water, a tree, a seedling, the sun, one for every talent. He opened the scroll that had the book engraving and skimmed through the text until he found the one Queen Clarion used.
"Y'romem vocer, the Recover Memory spell," he read out loud. "One of the most basic of Storytelling-talent spells, it allows the caster to show a memory from long ago, from either their own or another fairy's mind. On one self, the caster need only speak the spell while thinking of the memory they wish to see. If the caster cannot remember the memory, the spell cannot work. On another fairy's mind, the caster must place their hand on the fairy's forehead, and say the spell while they think of the memory. Again, the spell will not work if the fairy cannot remember the memory."
He set the scroll down and decided to test it out for himself. "But which memory should I choose?" He thought about many of his memories in Pixie Hollow; his first arrival, meeting Tink for the first time, helping the elderly sparrow man in Tinker's Nook, saving Tink from the sprinting thistles, finding his talent, so many choices. He thought of one particular memory and closed his eyes. He concentrated, trying to remember every detail about his chosen memory.
"Y'romem vocer," he said, opening his eyes. His room melted into open air, the floor becoming a mass of leaves. Once the scene had fully changed, he looked to his right and saw the past version of himself, leading a blind Tinker Bell. The past David mouthed the words, 'Okay open' and the past Tinker Bell opened her eyes, and then gasping at the sight. The scene shifted a little, now showing the two sitting down on a leaf. He continued to watch, and just when the two past fairies were about to kiss, a loud knocking came from behind David. His concentration now lost, the scene quickly disappeared, revealing his room once again. David turned to the knot and opened it, revealing Queen Clarion.
"Something wrong, Queen Clarion?" he asked, a little shaken from the startle he was given.
"Tinker Bell is outside, and was asking for you." David didn't need her to say anymore. He dashed through the passage and outside to the pool of Pixie Dust. He saw Tinker Bell fly over to him and she landed next to him.
"Hey Tink, you wanted to see me?" David said.
"Yeah, remember when we were talking a couple days ago, and you said the next day we would go out and do something again." David's eyes widened with surprise, he forgot that he was unconscious for about two days, and he was supposed to meet up with Tink on one of those days.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I had totally forgotten, and-"
Tinker Bell stopped him by putting a finger on his lips, and said, "Its okay, we can still do it now." David nodded his head.
"How about you pick where to go this time, since I chose last?" Tinker Bell nodded, grabbed David by the hand, and led him away from the Tree. She flew to the north, where all of the trees were green, and there was fruit on some of the trees; the Summer area of Pixie Hollow. Tinker Bell continued to lead David through orchards of trees. Fairies and sparrow men were working, and whenever David passed by, they bowed in respect.
"You know, I wish people would stop treating me like I'm royalty. I don't really intend on ruling over Pixie Hollow anytime soon."
"They just think that because of your talent, you might become the next ruler." David kept thinking about it. He didn't want to rule over Pixie Hollow; he wasn't royalty, he had no idea how to rule, and to top it all off, he wouldn't be able to see Tinker Bell as much. He would be too busy with his duties and responsibilities. "That, or they think you're Queen Clarion," Tinker Bell continued, now flying next to David.
He turned to her and tapped her arm, saying, "They do not."
"Do to," Tinker Bell said in a singsong voice.
"No they don't."
"Yes they do."
"Don't."
"Do."
"Don't, no call-backs."
Tinker Bell sighed in frustration, David laughing at his success. They came to a stop at the lake, where they could see several Water-talent fairies working. Tinker Bell waved at them, and they waved back. One of them, Silvermist in fact, flew over to them and said, "Hi guys, what brings you here?"
"We're just hanging out, nothing much," Tinker Bell replied.
"Okay," Silvermist said. "Hey, you guys want to see something we made?" Tinker Bell and David exchanged glances, and they both nodded. Silvermist led them over to the other side of the lake and said, "We had a bit of help from Bobble and Clank, but we were able to make-"
She was cut off when David was hit by something, water splashing all over his face. The three looked in the direction it had come from, and saw Bobble and Clank. Clank was holding a pile of pouches, and Bobble said, "Sorry, that was supposed to hit Tink."
David wiped the water from his face, and Silvermist said, "Yeah, that's what we made. I call them water balloons." She smiled and laughed a little, but David had an angry face. He bent down and picked up a drop of water. He wiggled it in his hand for a second, weighing it, then lobbed it straight at Bobble. It hit him square in the eyes, causing him to fall back and stumble.
David was now laughing and said, "Now that's funny." Bobble got back up, now having David's angry face he grabbed one of the pouches and threw it, but missed David. Instead, it hit Tinker Bell, soaking her. She gasped, and everyone looked at her. Bobble's face had gone from angry to fearful, placing his hands over his mouth.
Tinker Bell was now the one with an angry face, and David shouted, "Water balloon fight!" He picked up two drops of water in each hand, and gave one to Tink. Bobble and Clank had already begun throwing their water balloons, and soon began to make more. Silvermist joined in, making drops of water for David and Tink to use. Other Water-talent fairies came over to where they were and eventually joined in as well. The battle went on for a while, and David said, "Alright, let's try something new." He closed his eyes and concentrated. The sounds of water balloons bursting began to fade, as did the other voices.
He opened his eyes and said, "R'taw roba nacon (Re-taw roh-ba neigh-cone)!"
He threw his hand toward the lake and lifted several orbs of water out of the lake. He lifted his arms up, the orbs following, and threw them down, shooting the orbs towards the opposing side. He could hear Bobble shout, "Hit the deck!" before the orbs turned into a wave of water. The water flowed straight at them, knocking them down, and went back into the lake. They stood up, soaking wet, and David said to himself, "Whoa, a little too much power I think."
All of a sudden, someone from behind them all said, "What happened here?" Everyone turned to see both the Ministers of Spring and Summer, angry and astonished at the scene before them. "Who is responsible for this?" The Minister of Spring said, looking at all of the faces. No one stepped forward for a long time.
Finally, Tinker Bell said, "It's my-"
"It's my fault Ministers!" Everyone turned to see who had spoken, and saw David.
"David, no I-" Tinker Bell started to say, but was cut off by David again.
"I was the one who created the wave of water. I'm..." he started to say. He clenched his hands and said, "I'm the one who started it." He stepped in front of the Ministers, his head hung low.
"Come with us," The Minister of Summer said, anger clearly in his voice. "Everyone else, dry off and return to what you were doing." The Water-talent fairies began to remove the water from everyone's clothing and wings. Tink, Bobble, Clank, and Silvermist watched as David was led away by the two Ministers.
"He took the blame for us," Bobble said.
"Even though we threw the first balloon," Clank finished. Tinker Bell sighed and sat down on the muddy ground, her head in her hands. She looked back up, and saw that the Ministers and David were gone.
"Come on, we've got to set everything straight," Tinker Bell said as she got back up and flew in the direction the Ministers were going, and the others soon followed.
It seems David is in quite the pickle. He took the blame for the others and is now being escorted by the Ministers of Spring and Summer to the Pixie Dust Tree (it doesn't say it, but that's where they are going.) So everyone get your OCs ready and remember: Post on Chapter 9! Now, R&R, PM, and (from NSYNC) "Bye Bye Bye".
