There were whispers and the sound of frantic wings leaving the area.
"Peter Pan." Came a greeting behind him.
Turning, he found himself face to face with a small fluttering blue ball of light.
"It would seem as though you've shown up unannounced." The fairy informed.
He nodded. "I have, but for a very important reason."
A fairy-sized sigh escaped before the tiny ball of light exploded into a full sized woman. "It must be particularly important for you to extend as far as approaching us."
"You are the most in tune beings in the magical community." Peter cooed, attempting to sound as polite and sweet as possible.
Blue didn't look amused, "What would you like to know?"
"Neverland is dying." He admitted, watching her expression. "Trees and fruit are dying, prey is gone. Mermaids are gone."
She sighed, "There have been whispers, mermaid populations growing in all realms but yours. I suppose now we know where they're coming from."
"My Island is dying, Blue. My boys are going to start getting sick soon."
"Perhaps you should give them back to their parents." She suggested.
Peter chuckled, "Will bringing them home fix my island?"
Blue thought for a moment. "The only ones old enough to know are mermaids and perhaps some of the fairy council. I will ask around and return to you once I know more. Until then, I would begin taking the boys home before they starve or get sick."
"Will bringing them home fix Neverland?" He asked again, with more force.
"This sounds like an upset in the balance. Using your magic to take boys from worlds where magic doesn't exist, it could have been a final step in sealing the fate of your island."
Peter chuckled. "I've been doing this for far too long to believe that's what's happening. I will think on your suggestion, Blue, while I wait for you to ask your council."
"And if they reiterate what I've suggested?" She asked him as he walked away from her.
"Then I return the boys from places without magic."
