I stopped running and began panting hard. I turned around, the Monoceraptor was no where in site. I scanned the area around me, wondering if this was some sort of trick, or sneak attack. BK was now resting on my shoulders, half asleep, but completely worn out. I knew I had to get some help, I knew I had to go to Faerieland. I pulled a small, electrical, box from my pocket and pushed the small, yellow button on top. The box opened into a pad. I quickly typed in a few codes, and on a small, translucent screen I saw Bakad, my Shoyru. I pushed the orange button on the pad, then placed it on the ground. A small, orange beam shot out and formed the shape of Bakad. He presently appeared. A little creature, green, with green wings that had spikes where they folded. He had nubby little hands, a bit of a plump stomach, and short legs, with long slender feet. His head was round on top, with a snout that poked out a bit, and a horn that protruded from the top of it's head.
"Hey man, do you need sumpin'?" said Bakad, and then he added, "sup, BK?"
"Not much here, Bakad," said BK wearily, "we need your help with flying."
"Whoa, I don't know If I could carry both of you!"
"Hey, I'm not the one who eats those White Chocolate Lupes all the blinkin' time"
"Stop it, both of you!" I yelled, and then in a calmer tone added, "Bakad, we need you to try and carry us as far as you can."
"Right," said Bakad confidently, then he grabbed my collar and flapped his wings very hard. I held BK tightly, and, slowly but surely, we lifted into the air. BK closed his eyes, and I help my breath and prayed not to be dropped. Bakad, even though we hadn't been flying for very long, sounded tired. We were, at that point, up about 500 feet, but the cloud Faerieland was on was up 10,000 feet. Bakad strained, as beads of sweat dropped from his head. We worked our way up, but Bakad was slowing every second, and at one point, he stopped for a while. Then, at about 5,000 feet, we fell. Bakad dropped and didn't even try to recover. I grabbed him quickly, then clutched my two pets tightly. We dropped like rocks, and the ground rushed up at us faster than I thought it should. We fell a thousand feet within a few seconds. My legs kicked in the air, and then, suddenly, they stopped. We also stopped falling, and I felt a firm, but soft hand around my ankle. I looked up and saw a beautiful young woman standing, or floating above me. She had a blue, sleeveless shirt, blue pants, blue lips, and blonde hair. On her back was a pair of slightly blue wings, like those of a butterfly. I looked at the ground below me, then felt above my head. I didn't feel a halo, but I was pretty sure I was dead, and being held by and angle. Then, for some unknown reason, I swooned and dropped into unconsciousness.
I awoke with a start, grabbed the blue sheets, then pulled them off the bed. I calmed down, sat up, and looked around. BK and Bakad lay on a bed next to me, sleeping peacefully. The young woman stood in the doorway of the room. I looked at her, and though....who could it be. It suddenly hit me, the Air Faerie! I was shocked, to even see her was rare, but to be save by her, but then again, she could have just had orders from the Faeirie Queen. And the I paused for a moment, and then In my excitement yelled out;
"THE FAERIE QUEEN!" The Air Faerie looked at me puzzled, but didn't say anything, at lest at first.
"No, but that is the nicest compliment I've heard all day," she said slowly, after my little "episode". Her voice was cool and crisp, just as a fall wind, but I caught a bit of sarcasm in her tone. Then, about a minute later she spoke again. "You should call me Silvia."
"Silvia," I repeated, and drew in the name, "Silvia." Bakad then stirred, and looked around puzzled.
"Lance," he said to me, as though he was still dreaming, "is that your girlfriend?" Silvia let out a slight giggle at this statement, but I was turning blood read.
"NO, SHE ISN'T," I screamed as loud as I dared, "no offense Silvia." She again let out a laugh, then stopped and looked hard at me.
"I see many journeys ahead of you," she spoke quietly, "and I see you will face unstoppable evil, But I'll give you what help I can." Her eyes, also blue, sparkled and looked at me with a respectful eye. She then abruptly turned, showing her beautiful wings, and left the room. I sat in a daze for a few moments, then stood up and walked out after her, BK and Bakad at my heels. I moved through a hallway, lit with a pale blue-white lights. The walls also seemed to be blue, but I couldn't tell. Silvia sat on blue leather couch, I moved over slowly and sat down beside her. She looked at me a smiled, then made a gesture for me to follow her. I stood up and did as she said, or as she seemed to say. It's hard to explain how I felt, I knew what she meant, even though she never spoke.
"Faerieland is very nice," I said, "it feels very homely."
"Yes, many have told me this, but most were just trying to get on the good side of the Faeries," she spoke softly, but with a twang of sadness in her voice, "but I can tell that you truly mean it." I wondered, at this moment, if all Faeiries were this omnipotent. We exchanged glances, and smiled in turn. Silvia then walked over to me and took my hand. She looked to the sky, and as she did, we both began to rise. I then, beneath me and behind me, heard a small voice, no, two small voices. They seemed to be calling out for me. Bakad and BK were running out the door at me. Bakad grabbed BK around the middle and lifted into the air after us. It was, as I thought, sort of amusing to see a Shoyru carrying an Acara, and a Faerie carrying a human boy. Silvia flew quickly, but it didn't seem too quick, and soon we were at the castle of the Queen of the Faeries. Silvia, Bakad, BK and I steeped inside the building. It was a white castle, with cool marble walls and a blue roof. There were many tall towers, about 7 or 8, and each had a circular pyramid of blue on top.
Then I saw her, the Faerie Queen. She wore deep red robes, and wore an amazing crown. She had a Queenly air about her, and she spoke softly, sweetly, but with a tone that made you obey. The room was just as elegant, with large red draperies coming down from the walls, and cool white marble. It seemed to be the room where the queen spent most of her time, for there was a deep red thrown, and carpets of the same color. There were many other Faeries there, I noticed almost all of them were girls, but there were a few male Faeries, or, seemingly, half-Fairies.
"Hullo," the Queen said, in a slight British accent, "who are you then, and what are you doin' with my Silvia?" I could barely stand to answer, but in my head I kept saying 'I looked the Monoceraptor in the eye', It seemed to work.
"My name," I said, trying not to seem scared or angry, but pleasant, "is Lance, and I am here to ask for help against the Monoceraptor." As I said this, a look of dread passed over everyone in the large room. Even Bakad shuddered. Silvia, who stood beside me, clutched my hand tightly, and wouldn't let go until the Queen relaxed a bit. When the Queen finally did relax, she spoke again.
"I have no reason to believe that this terrible creature exists, and I'm not going to risk the lives of any of my subjects to amuse a boy who is obviously a craze loon!" She seemed very angry as she added the last few words, and I new I should leave, but at that moment I felt something odd. I felt the Monoceraptor, and I knew that he was somehow moving toward Faerieland. Silvia seemed to feel it too, so we both bowed and exited the room, and castle quickly. Sylvia grabbed my hand tightly and jumped from the edge of the cloud. I saw the city fly away from me, the Poogle track, the shops, and the Castle. Then I looked down, and when I did I saw the hideous Monoceraptor beneath me. Bakad and BK followed at my heels, and I allowed them to follow me to danger. Silvia quickly reached the ground and dropped me beside the Monoceraptor. She then flew around it's head as the Monocerapor tried to bite her. Silvia then shot a blast of powerful electricity right into the Monoceraptor's face. The huge monster stepped back a few spaces, but didn't really seem too hurt. Silvia then flew up a bit higher, right above the Monoceraptor's head and pulled out a staff. The staff was blue, and very long, maybe four feet. On the top was a blue icon of a Faerie, and on the bottom was a blue cloud. Silvia pointed the Faerie part of the staff at the creature. A huge blue beam shot from it, but the Monoceraptor took the blow without injury. It then opened it's mouth and fired a huge beam at Silvia. I screamed in rage, and called BK to throw a snowball. BK obeyed, but the snowball had no effect on the beam, and Silvia was hit with huge force. She fell to the ground, and dropped her staff. I landed on the ground beside her, and she hit hard and didn't move again. The Beast walked over to her and opened it's mouth wide. The mouth closed around Silvia's head, but the creature had no chance to bite anything. I fired Silvia's staff beam, and BK let out and arsenal of weapons. The Monoceraptor was nearly stunned. I ran over to Silvia and lifted her head.
Silvia's head was bloody and her hair was torn, but she seemed alive. I called Bakad, and gave him a look, and some how, I knew he understood. Bakad picked Silvia up and carried her back to the cloud. BK looked worried as well, but not as much about Silvia. He stared at the Monoceraptor, the Beast, and shook is head. The giant beast just lay there, and didn't move. Suddenly, I noticed a small Blumaroo jump up beside it. The Blumaroo was orange, but when it walked up near the Beast, it was snatched up in the monsters jaws! I gasped, and BK let out a scream of horror. The Beast stood up and made it's way toward me, BK was frozen, and I could barely move either. Then, I heard a trumpet blare! I forced my self to look up and saw a huge group of Faeries lead by Bakad.
"RUN," the little Shoyru screamed, "RUN, IF I SURVIVE THIS BATTLE I'LL STAY AND TRAIN WITH THE FAERIES. YOU KNOW I CAN HELP MORE IF I AM STRONGER........NOW GO!" I was shocked at my docile pet's nature, but BK and I knew we had to leave. I clutched the fallen Silvia's staff and began to run. Me and BK ran, again we ran, and maybe we would always have to run.
