Only Time Can Tell

Fresh cold air blasted onto her face, and the child huddled deeper into her cloak.
"Follow me, Lilica," came a boyish voice emitting not far off from where she was standing. This boy of 14 summers had promised to lead her to a "fairy" gathering in the surrounding forest. So, she straightened up her back and hastily followed the footsteps of the new town stranger.
Looking up ahead, Lilica had, like all of the other girls in her town, admired and worshipped this mysterious boy. He had jet-black hair, dark brown eyes, a pale complexion, and a slim frame which was obviously going to grow into a perfect one. Lilica didn't know his name, but she knew that she could trust him.
Branches slapped her face and the freezing air made her hands and feet numb. Just when she thought that she couldn't stand the cold any longer, the boy motioned her to stop. Quietly, they peered over the surrounding bushes and saw: millions upon millions of golden flowers singing with beauty. But flowers!? In the winter!? What was the meaning of this? Lilica was about to voice one of her many rising questions, when the boy pressed his warm fingers to her lips, gesturing her to keep quiet.
"Look." The boy pointed towards the field, and sure enough, delicate miniature golden people sprouted from the stems of the flowers, clear crystalline wings flowing after them.
A movement nearby caught her attention, and Lilica found herself staring into the dark eyes of the most enchanting thing she had ever seen. It had light gossamer wings as delicate as a butterfly's, and stood as tall as her index finger. It was obviously a female, and had a crown on top of its small head.
"Greetings," it said. Lilica was surprised by this female's musical voice, and nodded her head in reply. "I, am Queen Sayora of the Toparay Fairies, and I see that Drakkar has indeed brought the most beautiful mate I've ever seen in my life."
Drakkar? Was that the name of the boy? And what was this about a mate? Lilica looked questionably at the boy beside her, at Drakkar.
"Oh Drakkar! How could you?" burst the Queen testily from her position as she studied Lilica's face and noted her confusion. "You probably don't know the meaning of this…uh…"
"Lilica." Drakkar informed the fairy queen in annoyed tones.
"Lilica, but the reason why Drakkar had brought you here to this gathering, was to um…let me see how to say this…uh…make you his mate?"
"His what!?"
"His mate. You see, he is my son, Prince Drakkar of the Toparay Fairies, and to be able to get his wings, shrink down to our normal size, and become the heir to the throne, he needs to find a suitable mate…which happens to be you."
The subject of the conversation paled, aghast at what was being said, and from whom it was being said by. Lilica didn't even know Drakkar well enough to be his friend, and up until now, she hadn't believed the existence of other creatures living in her world. Lilica then realized that she had only followed the boy to be with him and experience the feeling of his strong presence surrounding hers. Maybe the match was perfect.
"But I don't know the first thing about mating. I'm only 12, and most importantly of all…what is happening!?"
Drakkar looked sympathetically at Lilica, his dark eyes reading her soul, arousing passions, desires, and feelings she had never thought she held before. His soothing voice washed over her as he replied, "Lilica, let me tell you a story:"
~~~~~~~~
Once long ago, a fairy princess was granted a boon from the Sacred Oak which would allow her to be come human for two years. This princess immediately took advantage of the boon and decided that she would like to produce an heir in the process. That heir, happened to be me, and when my mother's two years were up and I was only one, my father and I watched as my mother gradually shrank back down into her normal size and sprouted wings.
My father couldn't believe his eyes, and had disappeared one week later. My mother, had decided to raise me with her kind, until one day when she found out that I could transform into a fairy (I was/am a human) if I find a mate.
I then traveled around the continent, trying to find a mate who would suit me. But I couldn't find anyone until one day when I was walking down a road and had heard your sweet voice fill the silence. You had been my choice for a bride.
~~~~~~~~
"This field full of flowers which you see all around you," gestured Drakkar, "is momentarily being placed here, close to where I have been accommodating myself so I don't have to travel that far with my mate when I go looking for my home."
Silence penetrated the air.
"Lilica, I know that we don't know each other that much, but from the moment I saw you, I knew that we were soul mates. So please, at least consider spending your lifetime with me."
Lilica, stunned at Drakkar's declaration of his feelings, didn't know what to say. She knew deep down inside that they were soul mates, and that loving Drakkar wouldn't be a problem, but what about her life? Her parents? Her friends? What Lilica was only certain of at that moment, was that she was going to make the toughest decision in her life.
Authors Notes:
Hey! This is my first fanfic, though I made each of these characters entirely up through my imagination, I've also been making the up plot of the story as I've been writing... and I'd like to hear some suggestions. Please review! Thanks!
