Isis
Isis humbly nodded at Kyo. She hated war like all faries, well all fairies with the exception of Kyo. She did not want to start an alarm unless there was just cause, but Kyo insisted that she had to leave to warn the others. "But Kyo, I just got here!" He gave her a glare that made her be quiet. She hated how distant he had become once they severed their kissing. Kyo was fluttering around as if he were planning and shooing her off. She had no choice. "Can I come and see you tonight? Please. I do not get to see you much."
She left the cave flying to the vale of the fairies. The sun was high in the sky, the trees casting long shadows on the ground below. By the time she reached the fairy village, she was covered in sweat. She tried to get some of the fairies to pay attention to her, but they simply told her they were busy and flew away. No one acted like there was war upon them. No one seemed to really care what was going to happen if they did not stand up and fight. Isis gathered her courage and made one of the fairies to look at her. "Listen to me! We are all in danger. The humans plan to destroy the forest in which we live. We all know this is the birthplace of our religion, so we need to protect it, no matter the cost." The fairy's eyes grew big and flew with her to inform the fairy King and Queen. Now that she found someone who listened, she felt better.
At court, the King welcomed them and told them to speak what was on their minds. After she spoke, the King scoffed. "This is folly. What you heard is only rumor. You cannot expect us to retaliate with no probable cause." I tried to tell him otherwise, but he did not believe me. He asked if she had proof, but she realized that she had none. She was only going by what Kyo had said. She suddenly felt very foolish.
"But sire, the humans have ruined many of our past homes. You know how they are always seeking more land, so why do you not believe me now?"
The King sighed. "My dear, the humans are a selfish lot, but that does not mean that they are coming here. This wood has been well protected. As far as humans go, they believe this wood to be haunted. I have my scouts relay information about the humans, and they have heard nothing about cutting down this wood. Many people tend to hear silly rumors and overreact. I feel this is what you are doing."
The fairy king is stupid! Isis left the throne room with dread. She had failed Kyo. She headed to a stream on the outskirts of town and dived in the cold water. She splashed around cleaning the sweat off her arms and did her best to clear her mind. She did the best that she could, and she hoped that Kyo would understand.
That evening, she went back to the caves to tell Kyo what had happened.
