Chapter 10

Artemis flew straight back to her house, as she knew Fawn was supposed to come get her, and got there just as her friend had landed by her door. Landing also, she was greeted by Fawn's usual smile.

"Wow you're up early for once. You ready?" Fawn asked, not questioning what the other fairy had been up to.

"Actually Fawn, I wanted to ask if I could have the day off." Artemis sheepishly says and was received with a confused look.

"Why?"

Artemis for some reason felt like she couldn't give the full reason yet, so she choose her words carefully as she explained "I was thinking about having Clara teach me how to heal an animal with a broken bone, you know, in case the animal is in too much pain to get it to the healing fairies."

"That's their job though and if it comes down to it, we always use pixie dust or one of the tinker fairies contraptions to get the animal to the healing fairies." The animal fairy states.

"Please Fawn, I really want to learn how to do this." The blonde fairy pleads.

Seeing the determination in her friends eyes, Fawn knew she couldn't stop anyone when they've set their minds to doing something, so she gave in "Alright, you can have the day off. But Clara's not going to be much help."

"Why not?"

"Because healing talent fairies only use potions to heal their patients. If you're needing a bone to be fixed, then you need the nursing talent fairies and there's nobody better than my good friend Elixa. Come on I'll take you to her."

Without waiting for a response, Fawn took off into the sky, making Artemis have to catch up. They flew to a spot in Spring Valley known as Neverberry Thicket, where a few trees stood on a hill that were made into fairy homes. Fawn led Artemis to one home in particular that had the smell of various animals with a hint of daisy. The inside was filled with various stuff such as bookshelves that were filled with books, different fairy made jugs on separate shelves, a nest, and other décor. In a corner of the room, a fairy with tanned skin and reddish brown hair was tending to a ladybug who's wing was crooked. There was no doubt that this was Elixa.

Looking up to the approaching fairies, Elixa gave them a warm smile as she tended to the ladybug and said "Hey Fawn, long time no see."

"Sorry Elixa, I've been busy with my new protégée Artemis." Fawn states, nodding her head in Artemis's direction.

"Ah, so you're the new famous fairy I keep hearing about." The nursing fairy replies, her eyes that were a mixture of green and blue looked at the fairy in question.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable by the staring, Artemis tried not thinking about it as she said "I didn't realize I was so popular."

"Honey, coming to Pixie Hollow after escaping from the clutches of pirates is no easy feat and can definitely get you talked about. However, when you took on that hawk yesterday, you've certainly became one very popular fairy." Was Elixa's response as she finished fixing her patients wing.

Artemis wasn't sure how she felt about the statement. She didn't go after the hawk as a means of being famous for scaring it away, but that's how it turned out to be. Dash helped her make sure everyone was safe and she wondered if he had gotten the same treatment.

Clearing her throat to discuss why they were there, Fawn said "Well Elixa I'd love to stay and chat, but I have work to do and I'm only here because Artemis has been telling me that she wants to know how mend broken bones. So I figured, who'd be better to ask than you.

"I'm flattered Fawn, I really am, but I don't know if it's a good idea. I seem to recall you trying to help Tinkerbell do your particular talent and failing badly." Elixa warily states.

"Okay I'll admit that was a total fail, but I'm not asking you to teach Artemis your healing magic. Just show her the other way to fix broken bones by using sticks and a cloth, you know, the more painful way."

"I suppose I could."

With excitement in her voice, Fawn hugged Elixa, and prepared to leave. "Great! Well I gotta go, I'll see you later ladies."

Once Fawn left, Elixa turned to the other animal fairy and said "Well, shall we?"

Elixa began teaching Artemis how to fix bones by using herself as a substitute for an animal or any other fairy in Pixie Hollow. Soon enough however, a couple of garden talent fairies brought in a mouse with an injured tail and then eventually more and more animals and insects were being brought in as the day went on. The nursing talent fairy multitasked from doing her job and teaching the new animal fairy how to do it. Artemis considered Elixa to be a good teacher as she was patient and made the process of healing easy for her to understand.

Soon enough, it was late afternoon and Elixa had Artemis go fill an empty acorn with water. There was a small stream across the tree where Elixa's workshop and house stood, and Artemis was glad she didn't have to go too far. Bending down next to the water, she began to fill the acorn with water. As the acorn began to be filled, the animal fairy noticed that the water began to become a little brighter. Looking down to see what the stream was reflecting on, she noticed that it was coming from her wings. Quickly, Artemis turned and saw that her eyes were not deceiving her. Her wings were indeed glowing and then just like that, they stopped. Before she could contemplate what had just happened, she heard Elixa calling for her and began to bring the acorn back to the house.

"There you are, I was wondering when you'd arrive." Elixa says and then notices the look on Artemis's face. "You okay? You're turning a little white."

"I think I'm going crazy, I just saw my wings glowing." Artemis answers.

Greenish-blue eyes opened wide and Elixa began to study the wings in question as she mutters "Incredible, I've only seen a fairies wing glow once and that was Tinkerbell's."

"Really, why did hers glow?" The animal questioned, curious to know.

"Nobody is quite sure why it really happens, but if your wings glow, it could only mean one thing."

"What's that?"

"That you have a sibling." Was Elixa's answer, and all Artemis could do was stare at her in shock.
