"Whoa… It's so beautiful. " I said as I gazed upon the fairy realm. There was a bright blue waterfall in the distance that had a beautiful steam floating around it, and many tall trees with little lanterns shining above sets of stairs that were carved from the trees and many flowers blooming from every corner of the realm. I could see a giant tree in the middle of the realm that had a shimmering glow to it. There also were many creature like insects, amphibians, rodents, and birds everywhere, except they were their original size that a human would see, but to fairies, they were either the same size or bigger than them. And thinking that Lorelai was the only fairy, I thought wrong. I saw many, and I mean MANY fairies flying everywhere. There were some fairies holding flowers by the stem and holding them above their heads like an umbrella. There were also fairies carrying supplies, piles of paper, and there children playing around with the critters. The sunlight that shined through the realm gave warm orangy, yellow pigments, and made the place feel warm, cozy, and pleasant. "Lorelai! This is amazing! It's so beautiful here."

"You think so?"

"Yeah! I would live here any day." I stated. "Oh, Lorelai. Why am I here exactly?"

"Well, I want you to meet someone."

"You want me to meet someone? Who?"

"C'mon! I'll take you to them!" All of the sudden, Lorelai lifted me off the ground again and flew over the spacious realm. The air felt so fresh in here, like I could never get enough. I don't know why, but I feel at peace. Even though Lorelai is carrying me, I just feel so calm and collected, like there's a sense of tranquility here. I closed my eyes for a moment to just breath in the air, then opened my eyes and I saw that we were getting close to the giant glowing tree and there were many fairies gliding around the tree. Lorelai then landed onto a platform and let go of my stomach. "Here we are. Follow me." I followed behind, and realized that there were many fairies following behind us. Some looked very confused, some looked curious, but most looked very excited. I wonder why... We reached a large area that resembled a ball room, but only out in the open with wildlife everywhere. At the end of the path was a large throne chair that had steps leading up to it. As I followed Lorelai, all the fairies filled up the room behind us. Lorelai then came to a stop in front of the throne. Sitting in the chair was an much older fairy with long red robes, lots of wrinkles, long white hair and beard, and a tall silver crown with silver tree branches that twisted around atop his head. He had a wooden staff next to him with a giant crystal in the middle, and had giant fairy wings that resembled a monarch butterfly. He then looked up at us, and Lorelai went to bow down on one knee. Everyone else around us went to bow down on one knee. I didn't want to look awkward, so I went onto one knee and bowed down. Lorelai then stood up, "Elder."

"Lorelai, where have you been my child?" asked the old man.

"I was out exploring the Sacred Ivory Woodlands for supplies and-" she paused for a second. "I also stopped by the Old Birch."

"My child, you know you're not supposed to go into the Old Birch."

"I'm sorry Elder."

The old man then looked at me. "And who are you my boy?" I looked up to the old man that was now in front of me. "Please stand." I stood up to face the tall elderly man. "What is your name, son?"

"Um… my name is Adrian. Adrian Kent, your highness." I responded.

"Adrian. That is a very strong, manly name." he said. "My name is Fludien. I am the elder of the fairy realm. Welcome to our home."

"Thank you, your highness." I said as I bowed again.

"Elder is fine, my boy." The Elder turned to Lorelai. "My child, why have you brought a human into our realm?"

"Elder, I think he may help us." Wait…what? "I saw him defeat many goblins in the Old Birch today. He is a very strong man! He can help bring prosperity back to the realm!" What is she talking about? "I feel that he is the chosen one!" The fairies surrounding us were whispering loudly behind us.

"The chosen one?" questioned the Elder.

I then turned to Lorelai and said, "Lorelai, what are you talking about."

"It's our realms history." she said as she turned to the Elder. "Elder?"

"You may." he responded. Lorelai then fluttered over to the throne and lifted large book, as another fairy fluttered over to grab a tall stool for the book to sit on. The other fairy set the stool in front of me, and bowed to the Elder. Lorelai then placed the book onto the stool and opened it to a certain page.

"Here we are." She pointed to a section on the page. I couldn't read what it said, I think it was written in fairy language. She started to read. "The kingdom of Okapi was a pure and prosper realm. But, there was one fairy that wanted to learn more about the human world. His name was…" she paused. "Grewrick. He was curious about the human world, he wanted to explore it, but he was stuck in the fairy realm and wasn't able to leave. He wanted to leave, but before he did, he studied the human world from all of Okapi's history books. He also studied magic, but not healing magic, not memory magic, but darker magic. Darker magic interested him more than other magic and he started to use it, but he went way too far. The dark magic had taken over him, and he started to destroy the realm. He started to kill-" she paused for a second. "fairies. Grewrick went to face the Elder, but the Elder was just too strong for him. So the Elder banished Grewrick from the fairy realm forever. Grewrick cut off his fairy wings and became an evil wizard and had placed a curse upon the realm far too strong for the Elder to break. The curse made the Elder weak, and much older than his real age. The fairy realm was falling apart, and fairies started to leave the realm because of its ruin. But the Elder has provided his power to keep the realm falling into despair and tragedy." She then turned the page. "Tales of old tell a tale of a warrior saving the realm from past tragedies. This warrior was no fairy, but a human, who shrunk down to the size of a fairy. He defeated an old, ancient enemy of the realm and saved the fairy kingdom. This warrior was said to be a strong man, and that he was a swordsman. He was a tall, masculine figure that showed power. He had long brown hair that represented wisdom. And he had shamrock green eyes that showed courage. The warrior could only defeat the ancient enemy if he was granted the power of flight. So her was given a pendant that held the power to give him wings, to soar above the trees and clouds. Legend says that if the realm is ever harmed again, a human warrior would come to their aid and save the kingdom from their curse." As she finished, all the fairies turned to me and started to whisper to each other.

"Uhhh…" I was so confused.

"Adrian, the legend speaks of you! You wield a sword and shield, you're human, you're tall, you have long brown hair, bright green eyes, and you carry a pendant. It has to be you!" said Lorelai.

"Is this why you brought me here? So that I can help your kingdom?" I questioned. "I didn't intend to help your kingdom. I was just to passing by, trying to leave home."

"Why did you leave your kingdom, Prince Adrian?" Everyone looked at the Elder with confusion and shock. I froze up. How did he know?

"Uh, what are you talking about sir?"

"I'm saying that you ran away from home, the kingdom of Brellomore." the Elder stated. "I know this because of your shield, it has the Brellomore kingdom's symbol on it, and Kent is the last name of the royal family.

"Adrian, you're a prince?" Lorelai asked.

I then sighed and said, "Yes. I am Prince Adrian of Brellomore." I could hear more gossip from the fairies around us. "And yes, I ran away from home, Iredale castle. I couldn't stand it there. I've lived there my whole life, but never saw the outside world. So I escaped. The kingdom is probably looking for me, but I don't want to go back. Not now at least…" It was silent for a few seconds.

"My boy, how about I make a deal with you." I looked back at the Elder. "Please help save our kingdom from the evil Wizard Grewrick, and we'll let you live here, so that your kingdom will never find you." Whoa… should I take the deal. I mean, I won't have to go back to Iredale, but then I'll never see my parents ever again. What do I do?

Lorelai touched my shoulder, "Adrian?"

"Well, do we have a deal?" asked the Elder. I looked at Lorelai, then at the Elder. I then stook my hand out.

"Deal." The fairies behind started to cheer and jump for joy.

The Elder began to speak, "Now, your highness…"

"Oh no please! Just call me Adrian. There's no need for formalities." I said.

"Okay, my boy. Now that you have agreed to this deal, we'll let you stay here before you embark on your journey to where Grewrick lives, at the Crimson Firelands. But I don't want Lorelai to have to carry you everywhere. So please, show me your pendant."

"Uh, okay." I pulled out my pendant that I kept under my cape.

"Now take off your cape and your weapons." I did what he said. "I'm going to grant you the power of flight." The Elder held his hand over my pendant around my neck. Suddenly, a bright light surrounded me. Everyone around was in amazement. Lorelai stepped back a few steps and cover her eyes for a moment. I felt my body being filled with power. What's happening? Then the light flickered away, and I felt a slight weight on my back. I turned around and saw shades of green and black on giant petals connected to my back. No way, I couldn't believe what I saw.

Lorelai then said, "Adrian! You-you have-"

I then said with awe, "Wings!"
