Chapter 22: she would be proud of you
The battle is still raging on in petaloúda. the atmosphere is fierce. The enemies are starting to scatter and are falling back. Just a little more and tooth and the gang will surly win. In the ground the last of the enemy lines where cornered by North, and his allies. Since they were surrounded and with no place to run, the enemy surrendered and the little fairies came with shackles and tied their hands. Up in the sky, tooth defeated her last opponent before the enemies retreated and flew away. She felt relieved that this was over with no big Consequences. now that the enemy was gone, she had time to observe the sword. The sword is an Indian style like the ones she used to use before discovering that her wings are razor sharp and can use them instead of swords. the hilt was golden and decorated by small rubies, emeralds and sapphire. The blade was silver with dark swirly imprints similar to the imprints that decorated the sister of flight weapons. In fact the sword looked like a weapon of the sisters of flight. Maybe that's the reason why she felt comfortable wielding the sword like it was a part of her. But if this was a sword of a sister of flight how did Titania get a hold of it ? what is it doing with her?.
A hand on her shoulder snapped her out of her thoughts
"are you okay?" asked hiccup
"yes, sorry I was just thinking" answered tooth.
"come on let's go down, north is waiting for us"
The duo flew down and toothless followed soon after. Immediately when they touched the ground, toothless ran to hiccup and started to lick his face.
"oh come on bud!, you know that this doesn't wash out"
And toothless in his own way started to laugh at hiccups misery so did North with his booming laughter.
"I'm glad to see you all good and well" said North
"us too North" replied tooth.
Titania the fairy queen then descended next to the group.
"thank you" said the queen " I appreciate your help"
"don't mention it" said hiccup.
The queen smiled and turned her gaze towards the prisoners.
"take them to the dungeons" the queen ordered.
The little fairies nodded and led the prisoner to the dungeons for small little creatures they're actually pretty strong.
The queen turned to toothiana and reached her hands towards her
"may I have the sword back?" said titania.
Tooth gazed down to the sword in her hand, she couldn't let go of it and it troubled her. She only fought with it for a few hours how could she get attached to it that fast!.
Tooth looked back to Titania who was waiting patiently for tooth to hand her the sword back. Tooth slowly stretched out her arms towards the fairy queen and it took all of her will power to let go.
Titania took the sword away and placed it back in its sheath.
"you must be all tired" said the queen "please come to the palace and allow me to repay you"
The group followed the queen to the rose palace, as they walked the group took their time admiring the city. It was even more beautiful up close. houses and shops made of flowers were everywhere, which gave the city a lovely mixture of flower aroma, causing the group to be in dazed state picturing themselves in the most beautiful and happy places.
"we arrived" said the queen
The group were brought back to reality and found themselves already in the palace. Titania chuckled at her guests' confusion.
"the flowers here are quiet unique" said the queen "each giving a stronger aroma than other flowers in other places, the mixture of these aromas gives the affect you experienced to those who are not accustomed or familiar with the mixture. It was able to hold the enemies for a while before they became accustomed to it".
"so it's like a natural defenses mechanism" concluded Hiccup
"yes it is" said the queen
"your palace is beautiful" said tooth while looking at the rose palace. The walls are all made of red petals that overlapped on the top but not enough to block the sun rays. The floor was soft but not hard to walk on.
"thank you young one" replied Titania then turned towards some servants.
"please escort our guest to the infirmary and tell the cook to prepare a feast"
"a feast?"
"yes, as to show our gratitude"
"this is very flattering" said Hiccup "but we are really busy and I'm sure you're wondering why we're here right?"
The queen looked at Hiccup with silence, which he took as his cue to explain.
"we're here for the key that was entrusted to you by the high king and queen"
"I see, but at least allow us to treat your wounds"
the queen lead her guests to the infirmary, North was first to be checked on, while hiccup and toothless waited.
"ow you are wraping bandages to tight" yelled north
"no I'm not mister North" said the nurse "now please stay still"
Hiccup and toothless laughed at north's misery while tooth looked away and struggled to hold hers. It was then that she noticed that the queen wasn't in the infirmary.
'I wonder where she went' thought tooth.
She headed towards the door then hesitated, 'it is her palace of course she can go wherever she want' thought tooth, but there was a nagging voice in her head that begged her to search for the queen and she listened to it. She walked through the corridors and searched many room, but didn't find the queen in any of them. She decided to check one last room before heading back to the infirmary, she opened the door and went inside. She looked around but didn't find a sign of the queen. Losing hope she was about to head back when something caught the corner of her eye. It was a portrait of a battle between fairies and some other beings that she didn't recognize. She walked towards the portrait to have a better look when she realized that the fairies where not all fairies. Those wings she recognize them anywhere in fact she has the same wings, they were the wings of the sisters of flight. Tooth's eyes then caught two figures fighting side by side in the portrait. One of the figure was Titania while the other. ….. the other was her mother Rashmi holding the same sword that tooth used today.
"you shouldn't wander around in places you don't know young one, you could get lost"
Tooth almost jumped out of her feathers from surprise and turned around to see Titania looking at the portrait with sad eyes. tooth didn't say anything her heart was still beating fast from the surprise. The fairy queen walked closer to the portrait till she stood next to tooth her eyes never left the portrait.
"you look so much like her, your mother" the queen said while looking at the portrait. Tooth looked at the queen with wide eyes, she wanted to say something but Titania spook first.
"my kingdom and the sisters of flight were allies for a very long time, whenever we needed aid in battle they would always help us without a second thought and vice versa. …..That's how I met Rashmi, she once saved my life from an enemy that snuck behind me and I saved hers in the next battle. She became my battle sister, …my rival, and I admired her spirit and skill. The sisters of flight were proud of what and who they were and so are we. so when she gave her wings and immortality for the sake of a mortal human, I was so distraught of what she did. I never trusted humans. I tried for many centuries to trust them but every time they would break my trust. I went to Pangam Hy loo to convince her to change her mind but she was so stubborn both she and I had an intense 'disagreement', and then I left. After a while she called for me, back then I thought that she would tell me that she left the human or that he had back stabbed her, instead she told me that she became a mother to a baby girl. I was conflicted I didn't know if I should be happy for her or angry for still trusting the human. She explained that you were born with no feathers or wings and because of that they would move to a human village. She entrusted me with this sword,….her sword, and told me to keep it till the time was right. …. Then I heard that she was ….gone.
Titania looked at the floor in grieve, her eyes collecting tears.
"and when one of the sisters die all of them die. For a long ,long time I grieved for the loss of my sister for the loss of our allies, I didn't noticed that centuries passed by while I grieved and when I did it was too late.
A dead silence fell on both queens, a deep suffocating silence, seconds felt like hours. Titania sighed
" she was wingless, she was mortal, but she was happy, I've seen it in her eyes the last time I saw her.
Titania turned towards tooth, emerald green eyes locked with Amethyst eyes. in her hands Titania held rashmi's sword and stretched out her hand to tooth. The guardian of memories looked at the sword for a while before looking back at Titania.
"now the time has come for the sword to return to its mistress" said Titania with a soft smile.
Tooth slowly reached for the sword and didn't dare to turn her eyes away as if it would vanish if she did. This sword, this sword in front of her belonged to her Mother. The only things that were left for her from her parents after they died was a letter and her baby teeth. To have something else that belong to one of them or both was just…., she was so happy, tears started to cascade from her eyes. she hugged the sword close to her body as a life line then looked at the fairy queen with teary grateful eyes.
"…t-thank y-you"
Titania smiled, her eyes were tender and soft, then she placed her palm on tooth's cheek wiping her tears with her thumb.
" you're welcome dear"
Titania reached for her neck and took of her necklace and place it on tooth's palm. The necklace was silver with golden floral imprints with a big ruby at the centre.
"this is the key that Mother Nature and father time entrusted me with" said titania "keep it safe" then she closed tooth's hand over the necklace.
"I will" replied tooth.
Break…
"thank you for your help your majesty" said hiccup
"you're welcome autumn king" replied Titania.
After having their wounds treated and the sleigh fixed the group were getting ready to head back. North was already on the sleigh, hiccup and toothless are heading towards it.
Titania turned her gaze from the Autumn king to Toothiana, who seems to have something to say or do. Before the fairy queen could ask what's the matter, she found a feathered head brushing over her neck. Tooth was hugging her. The queen was a bit shocked by the gesture, her hands stretched out before relaxing and hugging tooth back.
Both of them then let go each looking at the other in the eye.
"your mother would so proud of you" said titania
Tooth smiled at the queen with a wide toothy smile that turned into a grin.
"see you soon auntie" said the tooth fairy.
"see you soon little niece"
Tooth then got on the sleigh and North threw the snow globe and all of them then headed back to Mother nature's castle
