Everyone stood still. It was as if time itself had stopped. Jazz, Danny, Sam and Tucker were just confused. Timmy was on the verge of tears. I was wondering what was going to happen next. So was Liz.
"Who…are…you?" Danny asked, staring at the fairies.
They began to reply when I suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, you mean you don't know? They're fairies. Fairy godparents to be exact. I would have thought you would have come across them in you ghost fighting, Danny Fenton."
The friends of Danny gasped in horror and shock. Everyone, including myself was surprised by my remark. I continued, unable to stop.
"Yes, I know who you are. Danny Phantom, a.k.a. Danny Fenton, son of Jack and Maddie Fenton, ghost hunters extraordinaire. Also clueless as to the fact that his one and only female best friend loves him. Yes, Miss Samantha Manson, I know more about you than you do about me, like the fact that you love Danny here. Tucker Foley, well, you're an open book. A techno-geek. Ah, Jazz. Thinks she's an adult when in reality she has a long ways to go yet. Timmy Turner, ah Timmy Tiberius Turner. You are the greatest enigma of all. You I know most about. You have a crush on the most popular kid in Dimmsdale Elementary, Trixie Tang, who is also a tomboy."
I turned and advanced towards Cosmo, Wanda and Poof. Everyone was still frozen, surprise pasted on their faces, including Liz. I was still confused. What am I doing?
"Ah, Cosmo, Wanda and little Poof. Wanda, the fairy godmother of Timmy. Can be a nag at times, but means well. Cosmo, Fairy World's least intelligent fairy. The opposite of Einstein in every way. Poof, child of Cosmo and Wanda. Wished up by Timmy for his godparents. Also the source of some very unstable raw power, which is why the Anti-Fairies and Pixies are after it. Ah, yes. I know that and much more."
As soon as I was done, the room shook. A man-sized mushroom cloud formed in the middle of the room. Everyone turned. Everyone except me shrank back. The person who stood there held a large wand and a fairy neuralyzer.
"TURNER, VERDE AND RANDALL!!! YOU HAVE REVEALED THE SECRET OF YOUR FAIRES!!! THEY MUST NOW—!!!"
"—Go away forever. Yea, yea, yea. Don't waste you breath, Jorgen von Strangle. I'd imagined you to be quite taller than you are." "Yeah, the fairy who watches the girly soap opera All My Biceps."
He became terrified and backed away. I laughed and rushed forward with inhuman speed, snatching Jorgen's wand and neuralyzer. I flipped over him and landed on the bed. Still laughing, I twirled the wand over my head with no effort. It felt like it weighed next to nothing. I threw it in the air across the room, jumped over, caught it and threw it back to Jorgen. He tried to catch it but failed. He landed on the other side of the room, unconscious.
I looked back at everyone. What I had just done in those couple minutes finally hit me. It was as if I had been in mental contact with someone else, or had someone else's abilities. I fell backwards to the bed and closed my eyes…

Images and visions of another person's life crossed before my eyes. A fairy's life crossed through my mind in a matter of minutes.
I lived the life of Mav, a fairy scientist who lived around eleven billion years ago. That number was vaguely familiar, but in my semi-unconscious state it didn't register. He lived in the Pre-Earth Era. He had been the fairy who discovered the world that fairies drew their power from. He had discovered Æther World, a world of immense power. The Big Wand was an invention of his and because of him, all fairies evolved to become powerful beings capable of almost anything. He was celebrated during his life as the greatest fairy of all time.
What no other fairy at that time knew, however, was that he also discovered an even more powerful world, which he named Sueñalon. He named it that because it was the legendary Land of Dreams that the fairy race talked of like humans talk about Atlantis. He was able to make a way to draw power from Sueñalon by way of a necklace and two rings. The necklace was the conduit that connected Sueñalon to the wearer and the rings emitted the power.
When he approached the Fairy Council about this, they warned him to keep it silent because if word got around, the fairies might revolt. He complied with their request.
However, there was a fairy on the Council who grew jealous of Mav. Her name was Ivy. She grew obsessed with the power of Sueñalon and tried every way she could to steal the Sueñalon items.
Finally, her obsession boiled over. She grew desperate and captured the Big Wand, she channeled all Æther through her body and demanded the surrender of the Sueñalon items or Fairy World would die. By that time fairies had become so dependant on Aether that they couldn't survive without it.
Mav had no choice but to use his Sueñalo powers to fight her. They were pretty evenly matched.
The fight lasted for three days. During this time, many fairies got sick and almost died.
Eventually, Mav defeated Ivy and cursed her. If she was ever reincarnated, she couldn't come back in an intelligent being's body. She died, but swore that she would return.
Mav had won, but he was on the verge of death as well. He was taken to the hospital. He survived for three days. During those three days he did nothing but write the visions that he had begun to receive in what came to be called as the Hope Prophecy, where he described vaguely how he and Ivy would fight once again in the far future for the fate of Sueñalon. It became to be his greatest work. Ever since he has been considered the greatest fairy of all time…

My eyes opened again. I saw blurry outlines of heads staring at me. I heard voices, but not intelligent voices.
I sat up. I was feeling dizzy and the room spun. I shook my head. Eventually the room steadied and I was able to see and hear clearly.
"Are you all right, Morb?" Liz was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at me with a concerned expression.
"I…I think so. I feel like I've been asleep for a million years."
They laughed dryly, and then they told me that I'd been laying there for about five minutes. I moaned and rubbed my eyes again. They pestered me with questions like what was going on, how I knew all that I knew about them and others.
Finally Liz told them to leave me alone. She told them to leave, which they did. She came back to me and sat down on the bed again. While I was dressing, I told her everything, even the parts that I had hidden from her.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I…I don't know. It was as if someone was holding me back."
Suddenly the building shook violently. By this time I had gotten dressed. It started to shake continuously. Liz and I rushed out of the building to see what was going on.
When we got outside, the first thing we saw was Danny flat on his back, groaning.
"Danny, what are you doing? What's going on?"
"What do you mean, 'What's going on?'? Look!"
He pointed up. We looked to where he was pointing. My jaw dropped.
"Oh my gosh…"
There! I hope I haven't kept anybody waiting and that this chapter is a decent one. Also, I hope everybody had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
