Author's Note: Thank you so much for all your sweet reviews! Honestly it makes me so happy to see many people enjoying this story. I had to think long and hard about this chapter and the next one so it would turn out okay. Once I finish the next chapter, I'll probably have writer's block again =( But hopefully I'll overcome it.

Sunshine, I'm hoping that I'll be able to write a couple more chapters before the 25th so don't worry. But may I ask when you'll be returning from camp? I'm going to miss your amazing reviews. Anyways, here's chapter fifteen! Hope ya'll like it!

The next morning, Clarion woke up to the wonderful winter sparrowman who kept her feeling safe during the long hours of the night. She didn't need to open her eyes to see Milori because she knew he was already there. She could feel his cold yet warm arm around her and it amazed Clarion that he had never let go of her. She continued to keep her eyes closed, breathing in his forest green scent. She felt Milori shift a bit so his head was buried in the curve of her warm neck. Clarion felt grateful to have a man that loved her unconditionally and would always make her feel safe and protected. Clarion didn't know it, but Milori was awake as well. He too had his eyes closed, silently wishing for the sun to go back down and bring out the dark sky with the silver stars that was the only light source to see. He continued to think about all the good times he's shared with Clarion. He knew she could be very stubborn and sarcastic, but he still loved her all the more. She was obviously the best thing that ever happened to him. He couldn't imagine being with any other women. A bunch of giggling interrupted his thoughts. He opened his eyes as far as he could in the sunlight to see everyone gathered around him and Clarion. Clarion opened her eyes to see her siblings. She looked up at Milori and rolled her eyes. She leaned up and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"What are you guys laughing about?" Clarion giggled. Milori laughed along with her.

"Oh nothing." Dania laughed. They all were still in fits of giggles though. Clarion got up and so did Milori. Clarion, still dressed in her pajamas, went over to one of the packs to retrieve something for breakfast. Only finding some bread, Clarion saw a nest in a tall tree. Milori saw her walking to it and immediately had a bad feeling.

"Clarion…what are you doing?" Milori asked slowly.

"Yeah, lets not have a repeat of yesterday's episode." Louise said. Clarion rolled her eyes.

"Talk about people of little faith." Clarion said sarcastically. "Some of those eggs might not be fertile, which means we could use it for breakfast." Clarion began to hoist herself up the tree because her pajama top had no space for wings.

"Clarion. Don't." Robert said. Clarion was already half way up.

"Come on Robert." Clarion groaned. "Besides there are no holes! And I won't need to use your boxer shorts to get down! That's a plus isn't it?" Robert sighed.

"This isn't a joke."

"I know it isn't…that's why nobody is laughing." Clarion said dryly as she continued climbing as the others just watched. Once she was at the top, a chicken greeted her.

"What are you doing up here, little guy?" Clarion cooed gently. The chicken just looked at her. It was odd to see a chicken in a tree. Clarion began having a full-blown conversation with it because she had the animal talent. "Are these eggs fertile?" The chicken shook its head and divided the eggs into fertile and non-fertile. Luckily, there were enough non-fertile eggs for everyone to have one. "Thank you!" She smiled as she kissed its head. She looked down. "Hey guys!"

"Anything up there?" Milori asked. Clarion nodded.

"Yeah, there some eggs we can have but I need you to get our owl to help me carry them down." Milori nodded and whistled for his owl. The owl flew up to Clarion. Clarion jumped on and placed the eggs in the bag on the owl's back. Archimedes then flew down. "Here we go!"

"Good job!" Dania said. Clarion went over and began to cook the eggs and toast the bread over a fire. One by one, everyone received a plate of toast and eggs. They chatted and ate.

"So what are we doing today?" Elizabeth asked as she took a bite of her toast. James shrugged.

"I guess we start looking for the gems." James said. "The real question is where do we start." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Wait, I wrote the gems down…" Clarion said as she got her notebook. "We need to find the pearl shaped spirit, the emerald shaped star, the sapphire shaped human and the golden shaped butterfly."

"Where do we start?" Dania asked. Clarion shrugged.

"The…uh…creature didn't say. But I think we should start from eldest to youngest, so we first should find the pearl shaped spirit." Clarion suggested.

"Where do we even start looking? We could be looking for months for all we know!" Louise exclaimed. They all sat in silence, knowing that she was right. Milori wrapped an arm around Ree and pulled her close.

"We will find those gems." Milori said simply. "As long as we work together." Everyone smiled at the hopeful Lord of Winter.

"Why don't we wonder around here?" Clarion suggested. Everyone looked at her perplexed.

"Why here?" David asked.

"Well when I was studying as a princess, I learned that the weather was sometimes a sign." Clarion explained. "Since the rain started out of the blue and the immediately stopped as soon as we landed here, maybe it was a sign to start looking here. Perhaps the weather could help us in a way." Everyone sat amazed.

"That sounds reasonable." Milori said. He looked down and smiled at her and she gave him a kiss.

They finished eating and collected their clothes from the rock that were out to dry from the day before. They were wearing something similar to what hey wore yeasterday, a top that had no space for wings with the girls wearing shorts as the men wore a pair of trousers. They had all decided to walk instead of ride the birds so they wouldn't miss anything. They continued to walk in the silence. They found that they had many 'awkward silences' during their short trip already. There wasn't much to talk about nor did they feel like speaking. They walked for what felt like hours on the crunching leaves beneath their feet before someone said something.

"So…" Robert trailed off. Clarion sighed.

"Well that just made everything less awkward now didn't it?" Clarion said sarcastically as they continued walking. Robert sighed.

"Hey, at least I'm trying!" He chuckled. Clarion couldn't help but giggling. Even though he was the eldest he could be just as immature as she could. It was funny to think that only two weeks ago that she was ruling Pixie Hollow and there were no siblings in the picture. And now she was on a journey to who knows where with people she had only known for about a week. That got her thinking even though she had just met her siblings; it felt like she had known them all her life. Especially Dania. She was so happy that she actually had an older sister. She felt like she could tell Dania all her secrets, her desires, the things that nobody would expect for the queen to have.

Clarion continued to walk side by side with Milori through the woods in the silence. Milori looked down at her. He saw that she was looking down at the floor and he frowned in confusion. "You alright?" He asked in his deep British accent.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just I hope what I think about the weather is true because it's our only hope to ever finding these gems." Clarion replied, looking into his deep brown eyes. Even though brown eyes were dominant and most people had them, she couldn't help but feel Milori's were somewhat different. Every time she looked into them, she felt as if he was looking into her mind and soul. Milori wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they walked.

"I'm sure you're right." Milori assured her. "Besides…you are the smartest fairy I know and if you don't know, than nobody knows!"

"Hey!" Milori and Clarion turned to see the others staring at them dryly with their hands on their hips. James continued. "If we all recall, I'm older than Clarion by ten years!"

"Well I'm older than her by fifteen years!" Dania exclaimed.

"What about me? I'm older than all of you!" Robert stated. Clarion just giggled at her immature siblings. They all laughed along with her and continued to walk as the birds followed them. They then came upon a small wooden cabin. It wasn't that large and seemed very cozy. It was surrounded by odd-looking devices, which looked quite scary to the fairies. They all huddled together.

"Now what?" Louise asked. Everyone just shrugged.

"I don't know…maybe someone is in there who could help us…" James trailed off, obviously not sure about himself.

"So who's going to knock?" Robert asked. Everyone immediately backed away cowardly. "Seriously? No volunteers?"

"I mean look at this place." Dania said indicating to the cabin. "Look at all these weird devices!" She and David walked over to one of them. "Look what this one is called, Evil Keeper Outer. Whoever named this isn't very good at writing."

"Look, somebody needs to knock." James said. Clarion rolled her eyes.

"If you want somebody to knock, they you do it!" She exclaimed sarcastically. James immediately shook his head side-to-side.

"I want someone to knock, but I'm not that desperate!" Clarion sighed.

"Fine! I'll do it!" Clarion said throwing her hands up. She began walking to the front porch. "Oh and what did I hear about you being so much older than me?" She said intimating her older siblings. They all sighed.

"Okay, okay." Robert sighed. "You are smart and the age difference doesn't matter." Clarion just smiled.

"And…"

"You are smarter than all of us." Robert received a nudge from James.

"Dude! What was that for?" Robert just glared at him and he immediately shut his mouth and held his tongue back.

"And…" Now Robert really didn't know what to say.

"And…uh…your hair looks pretty today!" He stuttered. Clarion just rolled her eyes.

"I was hoping you were going to give me some money…but I guess that will do." She said shrugging her shoulders.

Clarion walked onto the front porch, followed by everyone else. She looked at the sign saying 'Keep Out!' She gulped loudly before taking a deep breath. She raised her hand and fisted her palm, ready to knock…But then she turned back round to her audience making them all groan in frustration. "You guys are such wimps." They all sighed.

"Whatever. Now knock, just knock!" Elizabeth said annoyed.

"Alright, alright. I'll knock." She turned back around and read the warning sign before once again raising her hand, fisting her palm. Her hand made contact with the door but no sound was made. She raised her fist, took one more deep breath, and knocked on the door three times…

Author's Note: I know, I know…Cliffhanger! Sorry guys but I decided it would be more interesting this way. To fight off the writers block, I decided to plan two chapters at a time so give me some time to work out chapter sixteen. Thank you all for reading; I was so worried nobody would like this story!

There's quite a bit of Milorian in this chapter for all you fans out there! I just love that couple! I don't mind writing about them so if you want you can give me suggestions on what conversations they could have with each other.

Thanks for reading! Oh and please review! They make me so happy :P See you all in the next chapter!
