"What…is this place?…"Jasmine furrowed her brows as she leapt off her horse as did the other women as they looked at the willowy forest as they looked at the trees flowing, " It feels like we're not in any normal forest…", Cinderella said as she looked at the various wisteria trees and dogwood to the vivid flowers surrounding them as the air was filled with not the bitter winter snow but the warm sun and the smell of honeysuckle and honey filled their senses, " This is very weird…", Moana said as the twelve women continued to walk in the forest area.
" The world will finally be in balance..", a voice said, " The pillars are here.", another voice muttered Belle looked at the others as they only simply shrugged in confusion as a sudden flash of light floated down as it showed a kind woman who flashed them a soft and gentle smile as her soft red hair framed her face as her soft translucent shawl wrapped around her white dress as it was made from the softest spider silks, "The spirits has finally brought you here with me…", she said as she gently floated over the women, " Ones full of kindness…", she said gently lifting Snow White's chin, " Ones full of courage…", as she spun around the group, " And the one who can save our land…", she said as Merida and Tiana raised their brows skeptically as they looked at each other, " I am Queen of the Wisteria Fairies, Queen Opal..", she introduced as she curtsied as the other queens followed suit, " I must show you around..", she said as the queens followed Queen Opal to a sudden village as the fairies floated from top to bottom as many were decorating with flowers as they slowly placed wine and various fruits and meats and breads as every bit of the smell was tempting, " You came in just on time we were just starting a festival.", she says as she smiled at the twelve.
" You must join us."
The group looked at each other hesitantly as they followed Queen Opal to the feast table sitting together tensely not touching any food on the table no matter how tasty it looked, " Help yourself we do have plenty to go around…", she offered as the group sat at the table in silence, " I feel like something is off…", Ariel whispered as Mulan nodded in agreement, " Very off..", she replied as Queen Opal only smiled at them as she ate the food, " I am so very sorry but it seems we ate before our trip, I am sorry for giving you such trouble preparing this meal for us..", Cinderella said quickly as the other queens nodded," Oh what a shame…Hopefully you would like a gift then?", Queen Opal said as Merida did a small pitiful frown, " Your kindness is noticed but we are not worthy to have your beautiful gift…", she rejected kindly as Queen Opal frowned, " Oh my then at least join us in the festivities…", she offered as Belle did a sad frown, " We would love to but we can't as we have to return back home…", she said as the twelve go up, " Ah well before you go may I have a name?", Queen Opal asked as they all equally shook their heads, " Ah we don't have names…we are just innocent travelers that seem to be lost we mustn't bother you and your beautiful occasion with our presence…", Aurora said as the group left the table as Queen Opal did a small pout and waved goodbye to the group before seeing a familiar woman in a white and black cloak walk to the table, "Follow them and their kin.", she said as the woman nodded at Queen Opal, " What about the vessels of darkness?", she asked as Queen Opal took a slow sip of her wine in her goblet, " We don't need to follow them…they will come to us. In time.", she said.
" How are going to get out of here?"
The twelve woman stood in silence waiting for their next move, "The villains are still out here they might be in these woods…so be careful…", Tiana warned as they guided their horses through the quiet forest. They continued walking for hours until seeing a two will o wisps float in the distance.
"Follow us…"
The woman looked at the wisps cautiously following them through the dark and damp forest that was a contrast to the bright and happy forest they were in earlier. They saw the familiar warmth of the villages and cities they loved appear from the exit, Belle quickly looked back only seeing nothing.
The wisps slowly transformed to a white cloaked woman and a black cloaked man as the woman sighed, " How did they even get here?", she asked as the man frowned, " Probably the work of the dream court…", he replied as he nodded off, " Let's keep going…we need to find the talismans…", he said as they walked away.
