King Robert and his family had just finished packing, and were about to leave for Pixie Hollow. Elizabeth heard that James was staying at Pixie Hollow, so she thought they better pack a few things just in case they stay longer than expected. The king had already informed about his trip to his advisors and closest colleges, so he had someone to look after his people. The twins were beyond excited for their visit to the 'Land of Seasons' and Alice seemed somewhat enjoying the situation. Robert packed his human navigator as asked by James. The human navigator was a special device as it could connect and fairy to the human it was created from. They left the Forbidden Souls and flew to Pixie Hollow.
Once they arrived, James, The Queen of Pixie Hollow, two winter sparrowmen and a young arrival, which Robert suspected was Grace, greeted them. Robert stepped forward and bowed before the queen. "Its an honour to meet you, your highness." The queen smiled at his gesture.
"The honour is all mine, King Robert." Clarion bowed her head in respect as she spoke. "And thank you for arriving so quickly."
"It was no trouble at all, Queen Clarion." Robert assured her. Clarion smiled before introducing everyone.
"This is King James, but I presume you already know that." Clarion said smiling sheepishly. Both kings let out a chuckle.
"I do. Its good to see you again, James." Robert shook James's hand. "How are things?"
"Everything is quite alright. And you?"
"As myself." Robert replied. Clarion then continued with the introductions.
"This is Lord Milori of the Winter Woods." Clarion said gesturing to her lover. Milori stood forward and shook the King's hand. "This is the Keeper, the smartest fairy there is and Lord Milori's trusted advisor." Dewey nodded his head, acknowledging the king's presence. "And this is Grace, the arrival you've heard so much about." Grace smiled shyly at the king. It was a lot to take in when meeting a king or queen, and Grace had already seen two kings in the few days she's been in Pixie Hollow.
"How are you doing, Grace" Robert asked politely. Grace smiled and stayed close to Clarion.
"I'm good, thank you." She replied quietly to the king. Her quietness reminded him of Alice when she was a young girl. It then hit the king that he never introduced the four people standing behind him.
"Well, this is my family." Robert said, gesturing to them. "My wife, Queen Elizabeth, my daughter Alice and the twins Mathew and Harry." The family gave warm smiles to Clarion and Milori. "Now, should we get started now or would you rather later?" Clarion and Milori shared a glance.
"It depends." Clarion replied. "How long do you think finding her 'clumsy' child will be?" Robert thought for a moment.
"It shouldn't take long, that is as long as I have her exact date of birth and her talent." Clarion nodded in understanding.
"What do by mean by exact her exact date of birth?" Clarion asked.
"Well I'll need the date, time, hour, minute and if possible the second to narrow down the search." Robert explained to the queen. This wasn't a problem for Clarion at all. What not many people knew was that when a new fairy arrived a certificate was printed with the exact date of birth with the talent the fairy has been blessed with.
"Grace?" Clarion asked. Grace turned to her queen. "Would you please get your arrival certificate?" Grace nodded and quickly flew to her home to get the piece of paper, which would eventually answer all her questions. When she returned, she handed it to Clarion.
"Well here is her exact birth date along with her talent; healing." Clarion said handing it over to Robert. The king smiled.
"This will be quite easy then…" He muttered to himself. He then took his human navigator out of his hold all. This caused curiosity to shoot up Clarion, Milori and Dewey.
"If I may, what is that device?" Dewey asked, as he jotted notes down. Robert gave the wise man a kind smile.
"It's called a human navigator. It allows me to track the human in which the fairy was created from, even if the human has passed on." Robert explained. Dewey nodded and wrote some things down. Robert opened up the device, which looked a lot like a laptop, and placed it onto a small wooden table. He allowed Grace, Clarion, Milori and Dewey to see what he was doing. "All I need to do is type this information in…" Robert said as he typed Grace's birth records. "And I should be able to find him or her…" He pressed the 'enter' key and waited for the page to load.
"So this will help me?" Grace asked Robert. The king smiled and nodded.
"Of course it will…and if this doesn't work, we'll just have to hit the books. Also known as the longer and harder way!" Robert joked. This caused everyone to giggle. Finally the page loaded. It had a link of a human child on it. "There we go!" Robert sighed. He clicked the link and it opened.
It turned out that Grace's 'clumsy' was also named Grace. She laughed for the first time when she was six months old, and created Grace in the process. It was no surprise that the baby also had Down syndrome but there was another unexpected surprise within the text. The baby died only hours after she had laughed. She was already been admitted to hospital the week before and the reason she laughed was because her father was trying to cheer her up. It took a while for everyone to process this, especially Grace.
"Wow…" Grace said softly. "I had no idea…" Clarion placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Neither of us dear, neither of us." The queen said just as softly. Clarion then realized something. "Wait shouldn't Grace be affected in some way?" James thought for a moment.
"Well, the baby died only hours afterwards…so maybe Grace hadn't arrived yet so she wouldn't have been affected." James suggested, but he honestly didn't have an explanation.
"But a fairy is born as the baby laughs and it only takes two minutes to get to Pixie Hollow, which means she should have been affected." Clarion said, utterly confused.
"She must be a…"Robert trailed off, not even believing himself. Grace was extremely anxious with all the silence and her anxiety grew with every passing second.
"I must be a what, your highness?" Grace asked, desperate to know the answer.
"You must be a miracle, my dear." Everyone gasped at Robert's comment. Was it possible?
"I am?" Grace asked, beaming. She couldn't believe it herself and she couldn't wait to tell Marla. Robert nodded, still speechless.
"I haven't seen this happen in years…" Robert said. "But don't raise you're hopes, I'm not an expert at this so I'm not one hundred percent sure, my dear." Grace nodded as her reply. "But I do know someone who does…"
"You do?" Grace asked curiously. Robert nodded and took out a small notebook from his hold all. He flicked through the pages until he came across a certain name he wrote down.
"Her name is Queen Dania of the Never-Miracles. Her and her people study the rich and deep history Neverland has to offer. They look into the oldest myths and legends not only from here but they also study the ancient miracles of the mainland, allowing all of us to have a better understanding of human life." Clarion just sat in awe of what Robert just said, still trying to process it.
"Woah…" Grace whispered, amazed herself. Never in a million years would she think she was a miracle. "How would she know if I'm a miracle?" Clarion smiled at her question. Grace was very similar to Tinkerbell as she was always very inquisitive. Robert sat in thought.
"Well, I'm not sure to be perfectly honest with you." He said.
During all this, Milori and Dewey were still speechless. Dewey was scribbling down notes like a mad man and Milori was just staring out into space. It's as if time had stopped for him as his brain was trying to make some sense of the information he had just received. One thing Milori definitely didn't like about being a ruler was the fact that what ever situation you were put in, you were meant to have the brains to comprehend it. Unfortunately he wasn't like Clarion, it usually took him a good's night sleep and he would do anything to have a pillow right now.
"I'll write Queen Dania a quick note saying to come here and check for you." Robert smiled. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind besides, I know she adores children; she has two of her own to prove it." Robert took out a pen and paper from his hold all, and wrote a note quickly for the Queen. Milori took it and gave it to Avalanche, who flew away to deliver it.
"King Robert would you mind staying until Queen Dania gets here? It would be easier on everyone's behalf especially since you have a human navigator." Clarion asked nervously. She would hope he would say yes. She knew she wasn't good at explaining things and Milori wouldn't be the least bit of help, judging from his facial expressions during all of this.
"I don't see why not?" He turned to his family and saw all of his children nod feverishly and wife give him a loving smile. "But do you have a place where we could stay?" Clarion nodded.
"The pixie dust tree." She replied simply. "If we can just have the age of your children, we can get you a place which is practicable."
"Well Alice is fourteen and Mathew and Harry are six." Robert replied, grateful that the queen could offer them a place to stay. Clarion nodded and wrote it down on a piece of paper.
"So we'll get you three rooms. One master bedroom for you and your wife, one for Alice and one for the twins." Clarion said confirming it.
"We don't need three rooms, your highness. I don't want to make such a fuss." Robert quickly said. "Alice will be content sharing with the twins."
"No I wont be…" Alice muttered to her father, but Robert chose to ignore the comment. Clarion shook her head.
"Its quite alright." Clarion replied. "Besides she's a teenager now, she needs her space." Clarion said smiling at Alice which Alice returned.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed. "There is finally someone who get's me!" Everyone laughed at the teenager's comment. Clarion wrote everything down and handed it over to one of the housekeepers.
Authors Note: Thanks for reading! I hope now its quite clear about Grace's history and all. This chapter and chapter four revolved around Grace because I felt like we didn't know that much about her. I want to make Grace seem like an inspiration to some people out there with disabilities. Whenever I watch Tinkerbell, I always wonder why there isn't a fairy that is disabled as all the fairies are born healthy. I'm trying to make the idea of the Tinkerbell movies a bit more realistic in these few chapters.
Please review this chapter! I really want to see if Grace's story is believable and her personality reflects who she is. You don't know how much your reviews mean to me, they make my day! Oh, and sorry there isn't much Milorian but I tried to portray them separately because they both have different approaches to the information; Clarion is calm and collected and Milori just needs a pillow! I'm definitely like Milori!
