When arriving at Periwinkle's home in the deepest part of the forest in the Winter Woods. Lord Milori hand in hand with his Queen stopped at the front door.
"Milori?" Clarion let go of his arm and stepped in front of his gaze.
"What are we going to say, Clarion?" Clarion sighed and pondered his question.
"I don't know Milori. We can start with saying we are sorry." Clarion smiled at her lover. Grabbing his hand to help calm him. Nodding Milori reached his hand out to knock on the door. With his outstretched fist, he knocked on the solid ice door three times. Then took a step back. They waited at the door for what seemed like an eternity, but no one answered the door.
"Periwinkle?" Milori called out to her but still, there was no answer. Milori walked to the door and turned the knob.
"Milori you can't just let yourself into her home!"
"Clarion, I am worried about our daughter. Besides I am the Lord Of Winter. I can do as I please." Clarion sighed, knowing she was not going to win this argument the flew into Peri's house after him. The pair searched the entire house but there was no sign of the young fairy.
"Maybe she is with Tinker Bell…" Clarion thought out loud.
"Your right, let's go."
"Milori you can't cross the border!"
"Yes I can and I will. I am not letting anything happen to our children. I lost you once and I won't let that happen again. I have more of the Dust Tinker Bell made so I could cross the border. I will be fine." Milori hugged her tightly. Clarion returned the hug in full, she missed the feel of his embrace. Together they made their way crossed the border and into Tinkers Nook. On the way there Clarion and Milori ran into Fairy Mary.
"Clarion! MILORI! WHAT THE SPRING! How?! What?!"
"Mary, please! Calm down! I will explain everything later. Have you seen Tinker Bell?"
"Oh, you better explain! Tinker Bell? I thought she was in the Winter Woods with her sister. She's not in her house and she didn't show up to work today."
"Mary, we can't find Periwinkle." Milori and Clarion became worried for the wellbeing of their children. Queen Clarion, full of worry now, went to the Pixie Dust Tree and called Nix to her study.
"Yes, Queen Clarion?"
"Nix I need you to send out a search party. Tinker Bell and Periwinkle are missing."
"Yes, my Queen. There has been a spotting of Pirates by the cove, but they have not found Pixie Hollow and are nowhere near us."
"Pirates? Are you sure they couldn't have taken them?"
"No, my Queen, But I will have my scouts look into the matter immediately. Nix left the room with a bow. Clarion turned to the now pale Lord of Winter. The thought of his little fairies in the hands of pirates scared him more than imaginable.
"Milori…"
"Clarion don't even think it. They are fine."
"But Milori what if those horrible pirates have my babies?!" Clarion began to cry into his arms. "Please tell me everything will be alright."
"I promise you, Clarion I will find them."
"You?" Clarion looked up into his deep brown eyes.
"Yes, I am not going to let anything happen to them. I am going after them. I will fight off one hundred pirates if I have to."
"Then I am coming with you!"
"Clarion no. If anything happened to you Pixie Hollow wouldn't make it past the winter. I will go after them, stay here." Milori placed a figure under her tear stained chin. Lifting her to meet his gaze he gave her a kiss goodbye. He was off to save the day alone… Or so he thought.
With only a few hours of air left Tinker Bell and Peri began to worry that no one was coming. Captain Hook came clambering back into the chamber they were captive in. With his evil grin, he laughed at them.
"Still no answer, aye? Well, that's not a problem! I can just tell me' men to go get some more of your little friends." Tink let out a gasp, she flung herself at the glass with Pixie Rage.
"Ha! That won't work, dearie! Tick tock, tick tock! Time is running out. You bested me once but that won't happen again." Hook left the room and slammed the door behind him. They could hear him scream at his men.
"Soon we will have the Fairy Dust! Soon we will be able to pillage and plunder the entire world!"
"ARRRRR!" Screamed his crew back at him. They all cheered for their Captain and clinked their rum bottles as they toasted to gold and riches. Little did the evil pirates know, the Lord of Winter was on his way and he was not happy. They would soon regret taking a fairy from their home.
