Chapter Eight

The next day, Musa searched high and low for someone who might know where Timothy's fairy kingdom may be located. Finally, she spotted a squirrel and a chipmunk fighting over the last acorn of a tree for winter food.

"Excuse me?" Musa began politely. The two fighting animals looked at her, very agitated.

"What do you want?" the squirrel asked.

"I'm looking for the fairy kingdom." Musa continued.

"Why don't you ask a fairy then." snarled the squirrel.

"Do you know one?" Musa asked hopefully.

"No, but he might." the squirrel pointed to the chipmunk, who was not speaking to either of them.

"Excuse me," Musa began again.

"Get lost!" the chipmunk swung his paw at her, and she flew backwards through the air and collided with a tree.

"Ow… oh man, I have a thorn in my wing." Musa tried to move it, it hurt, but she hoped she'd be alright.

"I hope I can still fly." She fluttered her wings to test them, successfully yet painfully, she could still fly, but only for a short while before the pain set in. Then she realized the leaves were slowly beginning to change color.

"Oh man, I have to find Timothy, fast. Tecna can't be out here when the snow starts falling." despite the pain, Musa flew as fast as her wings could carry her.


Meanwhile, Timothy sped through the sky like a rocket on his hoverbike, continuously calling Tecna's name. Suddenly the wind picked up, and blew him off his bike. He landed in a puddle of mud, and once he got his bearings, he took the keys to his hoverbike from his pocket and pressed a bottom. The bike came straight for him and lifted him off his feet. Timothy then noticed a log, where the pixies lived, they all stared in astonishment to see the dashing young prince.

"I'm looking for an enchanting girl, with magenta hair and teal eyes." He began, imagining the beauty that was Tecna.

"Are you Timothy, the prince of the fairy kingdom?" Amore asked.

"Yes, yes I am." Timothy answered.

"Oh thank goodness you're here. Another man fairy took her. We know him, it's Brandon."

"Oh no." Timothy uttered, even he knew about Brandon's lack of respect for girls, if he had Tecna, chances are she'd be humiliated in from of all those guys. That was the worst that could happen.

"And there's another guy named Riven after her too." Chetta added. Timothy jumped back on his hoverbike and started it up.

"Thank you so much." he told them as he sped away to Brandon's fairy village.

"I need to find Tecna fast, the snow's going to fall soon and I do not want to know how sick and cold that could make her." he panicked.


A while later, Riven dragged Brandon by the caller of his shirt down a cold dirt path.

"Listen." Brandon choked, "I don't know where she would be. I let her go, she wasn't gorgeous enough for my image, ya know." Then Riven punched him in the stomach, and he winced in pain.

"Don't you dare tell me that Tecna isn't gorgeous, she is beautiful!" Riven snapped.

"Okay, okay, she's beautiful. Moving on, I heard that she loves the prince of the fairy kingdom, right?" Brandon asked, and with that, got a kick in the shin.

"I don't care, that delicate girl is going to be mine if I have to crush that prince into the ground!" Riven yelled.

"Just shut up and listen, will ya. What if we kidnap the prince, then get her to come to us."

"Kidnap the prince?" Riven pondered.

"Yeah." Brandon answered.

"Why don't you kidnap the prince?" Riven asked, and with that, snatched the wings right from Brandon's back.

"Yow! You took my wings, why'd you do that?"

"I'll give them back once you trap the prince." Riven told him.

"Fine, fine. I'll do the dirty work." Brandon marched away to find his team and set the trap for Tecna.
