PROLOGUE: THE LAST FAIRY ON EARTH
Infinite darkness swirls around me, sinking me deeper and deeper into the abyss. I can feel my sisters' presence; so close, yet so far. I keep reaching out, trying to find them, but I feel nothing. I sense nothing, except for their breathing, the slow stillness only stasis can bring, and I know that I am still only one who is tethered to consciousness. For centuries, I too remained in stasis, until I managed to break free from its binds. Alas, I was caught, and forced back into my prison, this time aware, and the reality of my circumstances torturing me with every step.
I do not know how long it has been. It may have been years, decades, centuries even. Here I remain, forced to watch as my sisters and brothers slumber on, blissfully unaware of the horrors that lurk around us. Only I know that our great civilization has collapsed, that we no longer exist in the mortal world. Once, we were powerful and fearsome; now, we are nothing but a child's collection of half-baked tales.
I think I have gone mad from this suffocating darkness. For so long, it has turned my mind against me. Sunshine and greenery are but mere memories for me – only darkness remains.
But the Wizards have underestimated us. They do not know that one of us still lives on in the mortal world, one of the most powerful of us yet to come. Her destiny may be an arduous one, but one that will forever change the world as we know it. And so I cling onto that hope, knowing that it is our only chance of survival.
She will come, I am sure of it. She shall come to liberate us from this dark prison at last. And when she does, she shall no longer be the Last Fairy on Earth. I know, in my heart, that someday this will come.
Just a few things:
– This is like a traditional faerie AU – the fairies of Earth represent traditional faeries more than modern fairies.
– This project is heavily inspired by The Legend of Korra. If you are a fan of that show, you will see many references.
That's all! Thank you for reading!
