I've seperated it. I had it in chapters but when I typed it I put it all together. So I hope you have enjoyed it so far.

Chapter 1

Centuries later in the small village near the waterfall lived a peasant boy, truly twenty years old, but he acted as if he was still a child at times. He had been the blacksmith of the village since his parents' death three years earlier. Almost everyday he was covered in black filth from the shop. He still lived in the house he grew up in. Even through he was a good smith, he hated being one. All he truly wanted was more in his life. Little did he know that an adventure was coming his way.

One day as he was taking a rest after he had finished shoeing his own gray Percheron stallion, a brilliant snow white Arabian looking unicorn with a flowing mane and tail ran by the shop being chased by some townsmen. He watched the unicorn run from them. His horse was saddled for he was about to leave to get something from the neighboring village. He jumped on it and out ran the unicorn. The unicorn ran toward the forest outside the village leaving the townsmen in its wake. The blacksmith followed the unicorn into the forest. The unicorn walked to las Catarastas de Colors. It went behind the falls. The blacksmith followed it on his horse and found a massive stone had been moved. Slowly he rode through the doorway. When he was inside, the stone moved back covering the doorway. He rode on until he reached the lake in the forest. As he looked to his left he saw an old worn tree with some thing glistening on its surface. After he dismounted, he walked over to the tree. Once he reached the tree he pulled out a magical rosado crystal. As he turned back toward the lake, the sun disappeared. A glow came from the lake. He watched as it disappeared and where it had been, stood a woman with auburn hair in a flowing light blue gown. She walked toward him. His horse walked behind him. She stood a yard away from him.

"Who are you?"

"Garrett."

"How did you get here?"

"I followed a unicorn that was in my village."

"Oh, Nueva, come here."

"Yes, My Reina?"

"What have I told you about leaving la Selva Mágica?"

"Not to, but I was trying to get help."

"Oh."

Garrett looked at her. She was a queen. She looked at him.

"You don't have to be formal with me. Just please call me Deirdre. Aren't you the blacksmith?"

"Yes."

"Could you see if Nueva shoes? I've been worried about her."

"Yes, of course."

Just then Everard appeared.

"Well, well who do we have here?"

"Go away, Everard."

He raised his hand and a bolt of red lightning when toward Garrett, but it did nothing because the crystal protected him.

Everard knew something was wrong, but did not know what.

"Leave, now Everard."

"You may rule the night, but no one is here to protect it during the day."

He left as quickly as he had appeared.

"What did he mean by 'no one is here ruling during the day'?"

"Well, I should tell the story to you."

"Why should I know the story?"

"Because you have the Rosado Crystal.'

"The what?"

"The crystal that you have in your hand."

"Oh, I see."

"So where should I begin?"

Deirdre told Garrett her story. He listened to it.

"That's terrible. I wish I could help."

"You can."

"How can I?"

"The Rosado Crystal."

"What about it?"

"It's magical. It protected you from Everard's magic. As long as you have it, you are safe."

""I see, but I still don't understand something. Who rules when you are a swan?"

"Well, really no one, but the creatures obey my orders, but I'm really not safe from his magic. Could you stay and rule for me during the day?"

"I have to get back home."

"Please, Garrett, I need your help."

"I'll do what I can. Would you please show me around?"

"Of course. Please follow me."

So Garrett followed why did she need someone to rule in her place now after so long.

Deirdre did not know that if a man fell in love with her and marries her she would be freed. But Everard knew so he watched the two as Deirdre showed Garrett Lago Unicornio. She then took him to her castle, la Catilla de hadas. She gave him a room and he slept. He awoke a little before dawn. He dressed and went down to the main hall. He walked out to the stables to check on his horse.

"Well, Boy, how do you like it?"

"Come on I'll let you out."

So he took out the gray stallion. He let him run and roll in the grass. Garret noticed that the fairies were watching him. He didn't say a word and went to Lago Unicornio. He watched its surface. Then he saw her as the swan. Even through she was a swan she still had a beauty to her. He laid down beside the lake and watched the sky and fell asleep. A young boy awakened him at noon or what he thought was a young man.

"It's time to eat, Your Majesty."

"I'm not your rey."

"You are during the day. The Reina rules at night."

"Oh."

Garrett didn't understand that when he promised to rule during the day he became a rey. After he followed the fairy to a picnic, he sat down and began to eat foods such a great taste. When he had finished, he walked around the castle. He walked around the castle exploring and found the Library. Sitting in a chair in front of the large picture window over looking the lake, he fell asleep again. Someone shaking him awakened him. It was Deirdre's hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, it's you."

"Sorry, I didn't know you were asleep."

"It's all right."

"Hungry?"

"Yes."

"Come to the Dining Hall."

So Garrett followed her to the Dining Hall and sat to her right. Fairies brought in the food. As they ate, Garrett stopped and began to watch her.

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh, no."

She didn't understand why he was watching her. She didn't look that much different from the night before, did she? She looked at him and noticed something different about him but couldn't put her finger on it.

Garrett and Deirdre went back into the Library. Garrett sitting back into the chair he had been in earlier and Deirdre sitting on a footstool facing him watched the flames of the fire in the grand fireplace.

"Garrett, aren't you sleepy?"

"Not really."

"Maybe that's because you slept way most of the day."

"I have had a few naps today."

"Yes, I know.'

"How do you know?"

"I maybe a swan during the day, but I remember every thing that happens during the day and the night."

"Oh, you've been watching me."

"Well, yes, I have but I mostly slept."

"You sleep during the day?"

"Sometimes."

"Garrett, why is it that I feel like I've known you before?"

"I don't know."

Deirdre had long ago fallen in love, but he had been killed and she had erased all memory of him and now the spell was wearing off because she was falling in love again. Garrett, of course, did not know this, but he was the reincarnation of the man whose name has been lost to tome, but not to her memory.

Later, Garrett went to sleep in his room. Deirdre went back to Lago Unicornio. She stood by the lake and watched the moon until dawn. She then turned back into a swan. This were changing in the forest for the better the fairies and animals.
