Ch 6

Sinon, a blue haired Cait Sith of Alfhiem, was glad that the friend she dove into Alfhiem with took the warning they were told seriously, purchasing them a Player house and everything before the game transitioned into the real world. She knew though that it would be a while before she saw 'home' because she was currently sneaking around on the island of Albion that turned out to be a floating island off the coast of Halkeginia and closest to the country of Tristain where Alfhiem had materialized. She was glad that one of the things she had on hand was a 10 meter Ham radio that was powered by magic to let her get into contact with Alicia Rue, the current leader of the Cait Sith, and Titania who was an active player not just a AI like was first assumed. Through a combination of flight and running she had covered 6 kilometers already heading toward where she felt the presence of another fairy. Personally she figured she traded places with someone when dimensional planes shifted because she was standing shackled in line to be executed when she came to herself after blacking out when she got the text asking if she wished to participate. It didn't take her five seconds to break her bonds and escape because she didn't wish to cause problems with the locals till she knew where she was.

She was really liking the scout build setup that she had put together for her character. At this moment in particular she was appreciating aura tracker. She had been traveling for another hour till her fairy sense, that she had been keeping active for direction reference, started telling her that the person she was looking for was really close. Looking through the foliage of the tree she was in she could just see the clearing that had a good sized cabin in it that was closer to a Viking longhouse in construction than a cabin. She didn't get much further than that because the occupants of the clearing were more pressing at the moment. She drew the cloak that she had picked up not an hour ago around her for better concealment.

There was a girl about her age that was fending off a group of men. 'Good Lord those things are huge.' Sinon thought as her brain froze up trying to process the fact that the thin girl had plus g-cups. Shaking her head Sinon cleared her mind of it as she observed the girl that appeared to be a sylph, she was attempting to perform magic but it wasn't working for her. 'She should stop trying to use that stick and just chant already.' "Does she even know what she's doing?" Watching for another minute Sinon sighed before she entered into the fray knocking the attackers out. After she calmed down she turned to her fellow fairy. "What were you thinking and why are you waving around a stick like it's a wand?! You don't need one!" Sinon yelled in the other fairy's face.

"Waah! I'm sorry. My magic suddenly stopped working earlier today." The girl yelled in a weak voice tears welling up in her eyes as she folded in on herself.

Sinon was taken aback by her reaction. "I'm sorry if I was a little overbearing. I'm just a little short tempered from having to fight for my life all day." She said laughing nervously. "Wait, you said that your magic functioned until a little bit ago right?" The other girl nodded her head sadly. "Then this would be unfamiliar to you?" Sinon asked dropping the hood of her cloak.

The girl gasped in shock at Sinon's cat ears that flicked relieved at the loss of the pressure caused by the cloak. "So cute." The girl said in quiet restraining herself from touching the flicking appendages.

"You can touch them." Sinon consented cautiously.

"Tiffania." The girl said quietly as she slowly stroked the other girls ears causing Sinon to purr.

"Pardon?" Sinon rasped out berating herself for acting like a cat so easily.

"My name is Tiffania." Tiffania said again after getting that out of system.

"I'm Sinon nice to meet you?" Sinon answered putting out her hand to shake Tiffania's whom cautiously accepted. "Welcome to being a member of the fairy race." She finished with a smile.

"Eh?" Tiffania asked her ears rising as what was said clicked her eyes widened before adding. "Eeeeehhhh?!"

OOooOO

Sometime after Louise's declaration to Henrietta all of the escort fairies that came with her were currently lounging on academy grounds. The rest of her entourage was currently in the headmasters office.

"So you expect me to believe that you're the girl that disappeared six months ago?" Old Osmond asked on guard not really believing what he was seeing. Karin herself was hoping that this non-human entity was truly her youngest like she claimed. The conundrum for the Halkeginians was the fact that Louise and Klein where currently taking care of their children, Karin's grandchildren, Kirito on the other side of the room had Yui sitting in his lap. The three children being present made them in equal parts calmer and yet more worried of something going wrong because you wouldn't expose your children to danger unless you felt you were capable of protecting them.

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't make it any less true." Louise answered back looking up from where Saito was currently sleeping on her shoulder. Klein himself was currently leaning against the wall as Yuki lay sleeping on his stomach though Karin could tell he was anything but relaxed.

"And what of the students and faculty that collapsed just after the successful summoning of yourself?" Old Osmond asked.

"I have a suspicion but I'd have to examine them first." Louise answered.

Louise tensed up for a second when her mother's magical focus was pointed at her as she chanted causing the two of them to glow with a line of magic connecting them.

When the light faded Karin dropped her wand and shakily stood, walking toward Louise with a look on her face akin to somebody lost in the desert that stumbled upon an oasis. Hugging her youngest Karin started to cry in relief being mindful of her grandson as everyone else in the room let out the breaths they were holding, glad that there wasn't going to be any problems. Louise was questioning things because her mother hardly gave her the time of day while she was living here originally but now that she wasn't human Karin was showing Louise her emotions. Karin herself felt the need to reconcile her shortcoming from Louise's childhood.

A few minutes later Karin had cried herself out. Asuna for one wished that her mother would come to terms with her, just like Louise's mother had her.

OOooOO

"Shouzou?" Asuna's mother, Kyouko Yuuki, asked with a forced calm after being in hysterics for half the day after finding herself in an unfamiliar house that was on top of a tree at the outskirts of a city that was in said tree.

"Yes dear?" Shouzou Yuuki, the man that was Asuna's father, asked cautiously.

"Please explain to me: How in the Hell I ended up here?!" Kyouko yelled the last part, her long pointed ears pulled down and back in rage. The last thing she remembered before blacking out in pain was conducting a meeting with the heads of RECT trying to come up with a solution to the current problem, namely Sugou Nobuyuki the culprit for the recent gamer hostage situation. She got a text asking if she wished to assist her family with the option for yes and no given, she chose yes. Now she found herself in a Sylph body that looked exactly like her human counterpart and was currently yelling at her Undine husband.

"Now calm down I can actually explain some of this." He said placatingly before shrugging. "Well not really but I'll try." Kyouko sat down crossing her arms. Shouzou had to bring his mind back to the task at hand because he was remembering her when they first met because honestly that's what she looked like age wise. "First off you can thank your daughter for the body because she customized it using her sub account. Thinking about it now it was definitely for you." He continued with a light chuckle. "You know what? That last sentence just sounded wrong."

Kyouko sighed and hung her head because she knew this was going to be a long talk.

OOooOO

After Karin broke apart from Louise being let to hold her sleeping grandson, Henrietta was somewhat in shock at her reaction. "Ok that wasn't expected but what can you do?" She asked rhetorically before becoming serious again. "Louise at this time what can I do for you and your people?"

"First thing we need is food beyond what we have to survive the coming winter because it's too late in the year to make use of the seeds that we have." Louise began listing off their needs, "Then we need the land that is in the immediate area surrounding Yggdrasil and our cities to be declared the property of the Alfhiem fairies so that we have a place to live without worry of the local lords trying to push us out. In return we have undisputed air superiority over even the dragon and manticore knights. We'll help you with the mobs and other creatures that got transferred with us. After we get everything up to speed we have the capacity for large scale manufacturing from the Leprechauns. Anything more than that, well we'll cross that bridge when we get there." Louise finished with a shrug.

"One of your titles is Dragon Kin." Kirito's eyes widened at this info as Henrieta continued. "What does that entail?"

"At the moment there are four of us but it wouldn't take long for that number to increase." Louise answered giving just enough info to answer the question. "As for what it entails list it under national secrets for a nation within a nation."

"I need to know what you're capable of to properly integrate your people into the army." Henrieta countered.

"We don't and won't have a standing army. It should be seen as a standing Militia that every citizen has to serve active duty for two years starting at age of majority. With a staggered training schedule every weekend for a different group of people to allow everyone except those that are unable to do so due to medical reasons to stay in fighting shape."

"If Tristain is in danger can I look to you to offer your people's assistance?" Henrieta asked in her capacity as ruler of Tristain.

"This is now our home too." Louise answered simply.

OOooOO

'Where am I?' A green haired mage asked as she looked around at the forest that she found herself in not recognizing it. Hearing some leaves rustling behind her, she spins around to spot, herself? But no it wasn't herself unless the elves got a hold of her because this woman had long ears like an elf, this could be their way of infiltrating the school to gather information.

"Since you're wondering if I'm here to replace you don't have to worry, I can't replace you. I am you Matilda de Saxe-Gotha or rather a part of you that you'll have to accept before you will awaken."

Matilda narrowed her eyes when told this. " Explain."

"When Henrieta summoned her long lost friend from the world she found herself in she didn't just summon her; she summoned an entirely new race of beings that were seen as nothing but fantasy until now. You Matilda, have joined the race of the fae. You just have to accept it or you will never awaken." The fairy Matilda said as she drew closer to her human self. Silently Matilda lifted her hand toward her fairy self when their hands contacted the fairy Matilda smiled. "You will awaken after you and your child's bodies have physically altered to your new physiology." She stated as their bodies dissolved into motes of light and began to combine.

With a gasp Matilda sat up, looking around she saw that she was in the academy infirmary. Putting her hand to the side of her head she felt that her ears were long and pointed like her half-sisters. For some reason she felt giddy at this revelation and started giggling uncontrollably.

"She's taking it well." Louise commented dryly to Klein who nodded in reply. "No idea how the rest of them are going to take it though." She added looking over the rest of the unconscious people in the infirmary which included some of the staff as well as students.

After calming down from her euphoric high Matilda looked around the infirmary stopping when she caught sight of Louise, her fairy blood recognizing her monarch. "Your majesty." The green haired Sylph acknowledged levelly toward the woman looking back at her.

"Ms. Longueville." Louise replied in the same tone.

"Matilda." Matilda corrected.

"Hmm. I see." Louise mumbled thoughtfully. "Still we'll need to figure out what your abilities are so that we can determine the best job for you since you'll be unable to use Halkeginian magic anymore."

"What do you mean I can't use magic anymore!" Matilda yelled as she jumped out of the bed she was in causing the healers to run in. Feeling vertigo set in she began to fall forward but in a panic unconsciously activated her wings causing her to fly up into the rafters hitting her head and thus knocking herself out; Klein catching her before she hit the floor.

"Do you think she'll calm down after that?" Louise deadpanned after Matilda was put back to bed once Louise forced her wings to dematerialize.

"I think you might want to word it differently for everyone else after that display." Klein replied.

"You're probably right." Louise consented nodding.

OOooOOooOO
