"If I had words to make a day for you, I'd sing you a morning golden and new. I would make this day last for all times! And fill you deep with moonshine…"
–Babe The movie

Chapter Four:

"And who might you be?" A woman dressed in regal looking gowns questioned, wearing dark purples and blue colors to compliment her goldenish hair that went a little past her shoulder. Her eyebrow was raised and then her eyes were cold and calculating, the tone of voice she was using not in any way a welcoming manner.

Relena looked up at the girl introduced as Silvia Noventa, heir to one of the faerie realms. She bowed her head slightly and curtsied to the Princess with a borrowed gown. It was colored white, light green sashes showing off her small waist and delicate features. Some green eyeshadow was placed lightly on her face by a person by the name of Sally Po. She sent a smile to the woman obviously hoping for Heero's attention, "I am a visitor, Relena Darlian."

Silvia's eyes looked her up and down like a specimen. "Hm." Her eyes narrowed, "Very well then." She spun on her heel, train trailing behind her as some of the other faerie folk rushed up to her, beginning to gossip.

Relena turned and almost tripped on the elegant dress, aeeing the smiling face of Quatre Raberba Winner smiling at her. "Ah," she amended quickly to cover her small trip, "Hello, Sir Winner."

He bowed his head, extending his hand to her, "Miss Darlian, would you spare a dance?" She smiled and nodded as he whisked her off to the dance floor, her feet free from shoes and cushioned on the lavishing green grass in the small clearing.

"I have a question," The blonde heir nodded, showing his consent for her to question away. "Why is Sir Heero annoying me?" She questioned with some apprehension.

Quatre took a sharp intake of breath and bit his lower lip before shooting a glance around the festival for any closely listening ears. He looked at Relena, who frowned with worry, hoping that she didn't ask an intruding question. "Oh, it's just that…" He sighed heavily, "That dress that your wearing was worn by Heero's late mother."

Relena's eyes were wide when she remembered the oh-so familiar faerie tale. She stuttered, mouth hanging open somewhat as she looked at the sadly smiling blonde, "So he doesn't hate me?"

"Well," The blonde ran his hands through his neatly combed hair and gave another sigh before looking at her once more, "Heero's been somewhat more…" He paused, trying to find the right word to associate with his friend's sudden change in behavior. "Withdrawn since his family was killed."

"Oh…" The golden haired lady bowed her head and tilted it slightly to look at Heero standing off from the crowd with some of his courts subjects around him, chatting merrily. Some little faeries, dancing in the air around him, perched on his shoulder and giggled endlessly in their mischeviousness.

Somewhere, the beautiful sound of metal flying through air whistled as the crowd's chanting and music slowly subsided as the five main rulers formed a circle, a sun dial in the moon's luminious light pointing directly at midnight, in the middle of their circle.

Slowly, they closed their eyes and people gathered around as they bent down to the ground and pulled a jeweled blade, each a certain color and very sharp, out from their boot and brought it to their wrists.

Relena gasped.

Silvia turned and glared at the woman with shock evident on their features, looking as if she was going to interrupt the ceremony. She walked over, her wings unfolding behind her to show their blue beauty. Gripping Relena's arm, Silvia leaned in and hissed somewhat, "Don't interrupt anything."

"B…but…" Relena said in a small voice, her eyes still wide as the boy's slashed their wrist and blood started flowing, hitting like rain drops on the ground.

"Hold your tongue and watch." The girl hissed back, letting go of the human and stepping back somewhat. She closed her eyes.

As the drops of blood hit the earth, a musical sound filled the air and the moonlight glowing through the forest began to sparkle, orbs of light surrounding each of the magickal creatures of the Wood.

In unison, each of the five rulers began an odd chant which Relena found beatuiful as a trickling spring with lushious grass and faeries dancing around like angels. It was almost like a paradise on earth.

A light flowed from the earth and the trees, falling from the sky also as wisps of energy sparkled around the many people gatehred in the clearing and those living still in the forest.

Silvia opened her eyes, feeling her power restored, "We take our magick from the earth, sky, water, and wood. We are one with nature, and we are blessed." She turned with a glare to Relena, "Unlike you, Human."

"Do you really hate my kind so much."

"Do you really hate our kind so much? Tell me, how much does a unicorn horn sell for in your marketplaces? Do you know what it's like to raise a foal or colt with no mother. Many die from despair." Her eyes bruned with fury, "You hunt and kill our kind. What gives you the right?"

Relena bit her lip and turned away, "Not everyone is like that." Her hands clenched at her sides. Her cheeks burned a rosy red flushed color.

Silvia raised her hea dand look down at Relena as she let her feet graze the ground when she took to the air with her wings, fluttering behind her in a rythmic motion. "You have no right coming her to even try and grace your eyes by looking at our princes." She let her voice whisper harshly in the girl's ears, "Go home. Your kind don't belong here."

Author's note:

Wow…took me long enough to update, neh? Well, this chapter was somewhat of a blahish thing, no action. Just Silvia being evil. Sorry for those who like her. I just need to make her somewhat possessive and have strong views on certain things. It took some inspiration to write this chapter… -.-' but I managed! I can't wait until I get around to writing the next chapter :snickers evilly: Oh yes….lots of fun since I'll be adding a little dark creatures and magick to this story. Do forgive any spelling mistakes in this chapter, my computer seems to have "forgotten" how to use spell check.
