Ch. 3
Clarion sat still with Mary as a cold air filled their hiding place.
"Clarion,are you alright?" Mary asked.
Clarion faked a smile.
"I'm fine..." she knew her tone stated differently.
Mary glared at her.
"Is it seeing Milori again?" the tinker asked.
Clarion's eyes clouded with sorrow.
Mary took that as a yes.
"Clarion,it will be fine.
I will be right there at your side the entire time," she comforted the queen.
Clarion smiled weakly at her friend.
"Thank you,Mary."
Half an hour passed.
Mary and Clarion saw a ray of light shining into their whole in the tree.
The queen stood up and flew out of her hiding place.
Milori and the winter fairies all stood waiting and the warm fairies were
coming out of hiding.
Clarion flew to the Pixie Dust Tree,it was coated in ice.
Everyone gathered around her and Milori stood at her side.
As Milori approached Clarion,he longed to wrap his arms
around her waist and kiss her for comfort.
But all he could do was stand beside her,waiting for the gold
pixie dust to flow freely again.
'Please work,if the pixie dust doesn't flow,the tree will die and so will Ree...'
Milori thought,looking at his long lost love.
Clarion glanced at him,catching him staring at her.
'Oh,Milori,you haven't changed one bit.'
Just then a bright glow filled the hollow as pixie dust flowed from the falls.
Everyone began cheering and flying around in excitement.
Clarion turned to Milori and about threw her arms around his neck.
She had her hands raised,when she stopped herself from actually doing it.
Milori noticed and frowned at this.
The two then heard Periwinkle speak.
"Tink,come on!"
TinkerBell stood on the ground gloomily.
"Tink?What's wrong?"
Everyone watched as the tinker took her coat off,revealing her wings.
One had a tear in it.
"Oh no!" Peri said,covering her mouth.
Clarion's heart dropped.
"Oh no..."
Memories of Milori's broken wing flooded her mind.
"Milori,this is all my fault," Clarion had tears streaming down her face.
"No,it isn't,don't blame yourself for something you didn't do."
"We can't let this happen again," the young queen said later that day.
"What are you saying,Ree?" Milori asked,worry in his voice.
"Lord Milori,i decree that no fairy will ever cross-"
'No!Don't you dare come back to haunt me!' Clarion screamed inside her head.
She suddenly felt a cold hand touch her shoulder.
"This happened because we tried to keep them apart," Milori said sadly.
Clarion then decided she was going to go back on her law.
"But never again,you two belong together," the queen said.
Milori looked stunned at his love.
'Does this mean we can be together?' he thought.
Tink and Peri's faces brightened slightly.
"Hey,i'll see you tomorrow at the border," Tink promised her sister.
Peri smiled.
"Sisters?"
"Sisters."
The two then put their wings together.
"Ree..." Milori whispered in Clarion's ear.
A shiver went down her spine as he said her name.
"Jingles!"
The lord and queen jumped at the sudden outburst of Peri and Tink.
The sisters laughed and their eyes fell on Tink's ripped wing.
"Woah..."
The two girls looked at their rulers as Tink's wing healed slightly.
Clarion's face brightened.
Tink and Peri stood wings to wings and let their wings line up,
creating a blinding light.
Clarion crossed her fingers and Milori's grip on her shoulder tightened slightly.
Before she knew it,she was in his arms and his lips were pressed against hers.
The queen came out of her shock and kissed him back.
It turned into a fierce,hungry kiss.
The two wanted to stay in that moment forever,but the light was fading.
"Milori...i've missed you..." she whispered.
"Not a day has gone by without you on my mind..." he answered.
The light was fading quickly now,Clarion parted from him.
The light was now gone.
Standing beside her friend,Mary thought,
'Did i see what i thought i just saw?
Hmm...naw...'
"Tink!Your wing!" Peri exclaimed excitedly.
Tinkerbell fluttered in a circle.
Her wing was healed!
"Woo-hoo!"
"Yay!"
"Yes!"
"Ah!"
"Hooray!"
Pixie Hollow shouted.
Everyone was patting the tinker on the back,when
they noticed their rulers were standing in front of them.
Everyone turned their attention to the two.
'Now...' thought Milori.
Clarion smiled lovingly at her overjoyed fairies.
She had her hands folded nicely,but felt a hand slip into hers,pulling her closer.
Everyone gasped.
Milori's cape fell from Clarion's arms as she ran her hands up his chest.
The queen,without hesitating,reached up and kissed her lover.
Everyone gasped again,then cheered.
"Oh,Queen Cla-rion!" exclaimed Mary with a smirk on her face.
"Oh,i didn't know they would do the smoochety-smoochy.
Guess they're tellin people now," Dewey winked at the couple.
Everyone cheered and happily flew around in celebration.
Clarion felt Milori's hand rest on the small of her back
and he leaned to her ear.
"You are now mine,forever..."
