Clarion was surrounded, black Pixie Dust engulfed her. She tried to run but it was no use, she couldn't feel her wings or her legs. She looked down horrified to see she was standing in a pool of her own blood. She screamed as a dark yet familiar figure came toward her. He came face to face with her and smiled, showing his perfectly white teeth.
"I'm coming for you Clarion, and there is nothing you can do to stop me. You sealed your fate long ago. And to think… you were my wife." Clarion awoke in a cold sweat, Milori sat upright in bed and held her close. "It's alright Clarion, it was just a bad dream." Clarion was in tears, it was almost dawn, the sun was about to rise for her for the last time. She knew this dream was not just a dream, she wanted to treasure every moment she had left with the perfect family she had only for a day. Tinker Bell and Periwinkle flew into their parent's room without knocking, when they saw their mother in tears they went her side and hugged her close.
"Are you ok mom?" Tink asked her mother as Milori wiped Clarion tears away.
"Yes, sweetheart. Much better now that my family is with me." Clarion smiled at her little family and gave them all a big hug. "I love all of you so much."
The day went on after the quick start the Royal family had to their day. Clarion secretly had Nyx double the guards around her Fairies and Sparrowmen. She knew if Sebastian was indeed bad and out to kill her she was indeed doomed, but she was not about to let anyone die with her. Clarion stood in her elegant study gazing out her window, she memorized every inch of her beautiful kingdom. She memorized everything about her families face and heart. She was knocked out her trance by a rather urgent knock on her door. Before she could answer Lord Milori can racing in.
"I'm sorry Queen Clarion he wouldn't wait."
"That's quit alright Viola." Viola closed the door behind her before Milori embraced Clarion and Kissed her like it was the last time he was going to see her.
"Clarion why have you doubled the guards? What's going on?"
"Oh, Milori…"
"Clarion, you can tell me anything."
"Milori I…. I was married once before I knew you… He turned against me… He wanted to take over Pixie Hollow with dark magic and enslave everyone." Milori was taken aback, what else did he not know about her?
"Clarion, I have been around for a long time and I have never heard of this." Clarion gave a small sigh and continued her story.
"Milori, it happened over ten thousand years ago when Pixie Hollow was just born."
"What are you talking about?!"
"I am the only Queen Pixie Hollow has ever had… Sebastian and I planted the Pixie Dust Tree, Milori."
"But that would mean- "
"That I am over half a million years old…" Clarion could barely speak, she had never told a soul about what had happened all those years ago. "Milori, Sebastian was going to kill Fairies… I had to stop him, and in doing so I had to kill the First man I ever loved. I have lived with these demons within me for all these years. I was afraid to tell anyone."
"So why are you telling me now?" Milori cupped her head in his hands and stroked her face. She stared into his deep brown eyes not wanting this moment to end.
"Because… He has come back to kill me." Before Milori could utter a sound, the entire room started to shake violently. Clarion's stain glass window to her study broke into a million pieces and the pair were pulled through the open window. "MILORI!"
"CLARION!" Milori reached for her but she was taken from his grasp and thrown out of the window. "NO!" He screamed as he too was flown out of the window, he hit the ground hard in the center of the Pixie Dust Tree. The ground continued to shake as Fairies and Sparrow Men flew to the Tree in fear.
"Dad!" Tinker Bell and Peri flew up to their father who was face first on the arrival platform. "Daddy are you alright?! What happened?! Where's Mom?!" The fairies looked around frantically, searching the crowd for the glow of their mother. Milori managed to stand and the family searched for their Queen in the crowd of fearful fairies. Suddenly the air when dark and a figure appeared hovering over everyone. In his hand was the Queen, his fingers clenched around her throat.
"Clarion! Get your bloody hands off her!" Milori raced toward the man who had the woman he loved his daughters in tow. Black Dust shot out of the evil man's hands and immobilized every Fairy and Sparrow Man in Pixie Hollow. Milori tried his hardest to move, his daughters were frozen to his left and right.
"Hello, Fairies and Sparrowmen. Let me introduce myself, I am Sebastian King of Pixie Hollow and Husband to this pathetic excuse of a Queen." Sebastian gestured toward Clarion as he dropped her from the sky. She hit the tree just a few inches away from her family. She was in immense pain but she didn't want her daughters to see her in pain. She looked up into her family's eyes one last time before Sebastian landed only a few feet away. "I love you," Clarion said to her family as Sebastian picked her up by the back of her neck.
"Saying Goodbye to the ones you love before I kill you for killing me all those years ago. Clarion my dear, we could have had it all. But you were weak! You even gave up every ounce of magic you had to get rid of me! But I have risen from the depths, of Hell for one reason, to kill the woman who took everything away from me! For you see little fairies your queen is only a fairy because I made her one when we planted this Tree. She is a filthy human and she will die as one!" With that, he turned Clarion into a human taking her wings and immobilizing her legs. Her crown fell from her head and transformed into a glowing dagger. "Oh, look a dagger to kill you with, forged from your own crown! Oh, this is just too perfect." Clarion grabbed her dagger and whispered under her breath "I give my life for my kingdom." Then she plunged the dagger into her chest, Pixie Dust of all shapes and colors came out of the wound in her chest and attacked Sebastian.
"No! NO!" He screamed as he turned to dust, as he did his spell was broken. Milori ran to Clarion's side and held her dying body.
"No Clarion. Don't you dare leave me."
"Mom." Tinker Bell came to her mother's side, she and Peri held her hand as they cried. The dagger turned to dust and flew into the sky. Her entire kingdom was now around her family in tears as she bled out on the Pixie Dust Tree.
"Oh, girls… I am so sorry. You have to be brave for me."
"We will mommy. I promise." Clarion kissed their hands and turned her eyes toward Milori.
"Milori…"
"Shhh… Clarion you're going to be fine."
"I Queen Clarion take you Lord Milori as-"
"Clarion, what are you doing?"
"I want to marry the man I love before I die..."
"No, Clarion don't say that. You're going to be fine."
"Oh, Milori…" Clarion sighed as a tear fell down her cheek, she could feel herself leaving Neverland but she could feel it travel somewhere she hadn't been in centuries.
"Milori…"
"Yes, Ree?"
"Take care of our daughters… I love you all so much…" Just as those words left her lips she fell limp, the entire Royal family held onto their faded mother and sobbed.
"Mom…" Tinker Bell wept with her sister, Tink's friends held her while they all sobbed with their friend for their fallen Queen. She had saved them all. Through intense sobbing Milori clutched Clarion's body and said "I will… I promise my love."
Little did they know Clarion was far from dead. She was reborn, passed out in the falling snow just outside Dr. Griffiths home. They're she would lay until she awoke only a season later in the care and love of the family she left behind.
