At that they all became quiet again and just stare at me, trying to see the thing that was not there. Fawn even extended her hand placing it on my back. Nothing. I pulled the tunic back on and sat down again.
"Poor thing. It must've been even harder for you down there. I can't imagine not being able to fly away with all those humans around."
"I wouldn't know about that. It's true that some days have been harder than others, but it's not all that bad."
"Well wings or not, you still are welcome to stay here for as long as you like." Fawn continued before Bobble shared his thoughts.
"We might need to talk to queen Clarion about you first. Since your arrival here is unortodox there isn't a home ready for you. Also she might know more about your past. She knows everyone in Pixiehollow and knows whenever a new one comes into existance."
"Yes let's ask the queen." Clanke agreed.
"I-.. " I started to object thinking it over for a moment, did I want to stay? This was all still new to me afterall. I'd never have friends before... It was strange to have anyone to talk to, but it feels good. 'And it's not everyday one get to meet royalty either' I thought deciding it wasn't a bad idea.
"Ok."
Once that was settled we all get up and head out the door where three of them immediatly set of in a flight. I just stand there watching them fly away. They quickly realized their mistake however and come back for me.
"Sorry.. old habits." they excused themselfs. Fawn got behind me wrapping her arms under mine and started flying again.
"NO NO NO NO NO!" I scream and wrestle myself out of her grip ending in me falling down on my ass again. I'm so embarassed that I get up and take a few steps away from them, trying not to run away again, taking deep breaths to calm myself. I feel a hand on my shoulder, it's Fawn. I shake of her hand but otherwise don't move.
"Hey whats wrong?"
I calm myself with a few more breaths before responding.
"I-I...uh " I start before interupting myself and says "You scared me...I don't like being grabbed like that" I say knowing that it isn't the whole reason I panicked. It was the height that worried me, but I don't want to admit that for some reason. Before they would get another idea of getting me airborn I ask if it was okey if we walk instead since I'm more used to that. They tell me that it would take longer, so I tell them I don't mind and that it is a great opportunity for me to get a good look around on my new surroundings and that they could tell me more about it until we get to where the queen lives. They agree and we continue our trip.
I'm a good wanderer so they're trouble keeping up with me whenever they try walking next to me, so instead they use their wings and fluttered close to the ground leading the way and describing the different sights we passed. It's really fascinating to me, How they have different jobs depending on what talents they possess. I learn that Fawns talent is to study and care for animals and that the two guys are something called tinker fairies, they explain that they were the ones who creates all the inventions used by all fairies ranging from ordinary things like baskets and pots to advanced machines like the dustcollector or the one they use to make snow for whenever the winterfairies came to visit.
That was another strange thing I didn't understand yet. Apparently the seasons never changed here, instead they have different sections for each where fairies of each trade lives and practice their skills so that they could take what they've learned and share it with the mainland. That's why the seasons changed there so that everyone would get their turn in spreading the magic of each season.
I was awestruck by the time we reached our destination. A large willow that seamed to sparkle with little stars.
"The queen lives up there." Clanke said pointing to the top of said tree. 'figures it would be somewhere high up like a tower of a castle.' I think worriedly and start to look for a way up, like stairs. Realizing that since everyone else could fly they didn't have the need for that, I knew I didn't have a choice if I want to get up there so I turn to Fawn.
"Guess I need a little help." I said nervously.
"Are you sure I can grab you without freaking out again?" She responded jokingly. I step closer and put my hands on her shoulder for support as she wrap her arms around me in a titght grip.
"I can't promise anything so you better not drop me." With that said we shot straight up into the air. As soon as felt the ground leaving my feet I close my eyes, my stomach staying behind, my heart pounding loudly in my head.
