Thunder Rumbled, rain patterned, and birds chirped over a mighty rainforest—the last rainforest.
A land rich in exotic flowers, beautiful plants, smart animals, and awash in magic.
And over it all were the fairies, guardians of nature. They lived among the wildlife, helping it grow and thrive. Their magical leader was the great and powerful Kaori.
Neena was an adult fairy. She had long ebony hair, and wore a dress like an upside down flower. Her wings were Majestic Monarch, and they were see through, and blue. And like all of fairies, she was maybe three inches tall.
Most fairy magic was green, but Neena's magic had always been superior and blue.
She was their leader, their matriarch.
But today their great world was threatened.
Where there was light, there must also be darkness. And out of that darkness came a spirit of Chaos—the Nexus. Nexus simply meant power, and he was made up of the power that came from all things, but this power was the power to corrupt, to pollute, to poison.
A cloud of black smoke heralded his entrance into Haven.
The fairies whimpered and hid in the Tree of Ages.
Neena watched as humankind abandoned them. They had once communed with the fairies. But their fire had brought the smoke and the poison. Their lax behavior had brought this upon Haven, and now they abandoned Nature.
There would be a reckoning for humankind.
But not today. Today Haven must be protected.
Neena raised her quivering hands, and magic flowed through her as it struck the dark cloud of chaos in the heavens descending on their Tree.
"It was only by calling up the magical powers of nature... that I was able to trap Hexxus inside an enchanted tree...and save Haven. Which is why it is so important for you to learn to use these powers. I won't be around forever..." Neena narrated in the present day to her young protégée, Holly.
"Neena?"
