Hey guys, it's me once again. Enjoy ! And this chapter (scene of Snowflake and Ria, is done according to the request of my dear reader and reviewer Effie Janeway! Get well soon Effie, I hope you like this)
Melda P.O.V
I went back to my room with a troubled mind about my unusual talent. I have already met healing fairies and they told me I could practice in every noon and in evenings, I could work as medical bookkeeper because of my scribe talent. They've always needed a one. And at night, I would take my duty as the guard of her highness, the queen. And in morning, I'd rest and have time to do anything I want. I straightened my hair and uniform and headed out to meet the queen. But Lisel told me her highness still hadn't returned from her meeting with the winter lord, at winter woods. So I went back with many thoughts filled in my head and I collided into a person. "Sorry" I mumbled. "Melda, so bad of you, you never came to meet me" a familiar voice ranged. I lifted my head to see an angry looking Ria." I'm so sorry, Ria, I never meant to. But I had to meet healing talents about my working and training times."
"Never mind that, already forgiven," she said with a smile, holding my hand. Now what are you doing all the way up here? Meeting the queen? She giggled. "Um... Ria that's what I am here, it's about my talent, so, what are you doing in this part of pixie hollow?" I wanted to change the subjects and it succeeded.
"No, nothing special, I wanted to meet you, come up to my room let's talk. Do you know the story of queen Clarion and lord Milori s' love?"
"No. who is Lord Milori?" I questioned.
Ria slapped her forehead. "I forgot. He is the lord of winter. Come, I'll tell you their story. It is famous around all pixie hollow," she said while we started walking towards her room.
Sometimes later….
"Oh my goodness" I gasped almost dropping the mug of chamomile tea I was holding. I never thought one could be that much strong and selfless to be separated from his/her beloved in sake of others. "Then what happened?"
"Thousand years later, one fairy named tinker bell broke the law and crossed the border, but she found her twin sister, a frost fairy named Periwinkle who was born of the same laugh. Tinker bell didn't want to be separated from her sister and made an ice machine to bring her to the queen and beg her to bend the rule of Lord Milori."
"But it was queen Clarion who put the rule" I argued. "They didn't know it, but in the attempt to cross, Peri almost broke her wings, and lord Milori and queen Clarion had to explain them …"
"STIRIA" an ice –cold, steel-sharp voice ranged through the room with the loud bang of the door. We both turned to the door to see a tall lady, whom I recognized as the minister of winter, glared at us. I looked down at the floor, unable to look into her ice-cold eyes.
"I ordered you to report to me about arrival of snowflake and frost fairies safely in to winter woods, and how dare you to ignore it. Who do you think you are?" she barked at poor Ria who was now shaking in fear.
"But Snowf..." Ria tried to speak but minister cut her off. "I have told you to not to call me by my NAME" she shook her frightened apprentice.
"I'm... I'm sorry my... my lady, but, when I went to ice palace..." Ria breathed. "You were not there; I came here to report..."
"And do you think that I'm a fool? You were ignoring your duties and I have never seen a careless fairy like you. Do not ever think that you will be the minister of winter only having your talents. Stiria, let's finish this in ice palace." Snowflake dragged poor Ria by her arm, throwing an icy glare over me.
I shivered. I couldn't think how one could treat Ria or any other fairy like that. I couldn't stop but comparing the queen and the minister of winter in my mind. How kind was queen towards me, a strange and odd fairy, and how Snowflake treated to her own student. I closed the door behind me and slowly flew towards the queen s' quarters.
In the chambers of the queen Clarion… (Third person P.O.V)
Melda bowed to the queen who was standing near the window, facing the winter woods. Queen turned around and smiled, "yes Melda, what is it?"
She explained the happening with Nathan and showed her scar in the wrist. Queen gracefully fluttered over to her and placed a comforting hand on clearly troubled Melda s' shoulder. Suddenly the blue light sprang up from her hand and Melda could sense that the queen was surprised. Before even she could speak, Melda felt a headache was forming in the back of her head. It became unbearable within seconds and she clutched her head, tears threatening to pour from her eyes. Soon it died down, and Melda looked into the astonished queen, in the eye. "Your highness, please forgive me if my statement offend you, but I feel another life force within you." She muttered.
"You are right Melda, there will be an heir born within a year for the throne of pixie hollow or to rule winter woods. However, I need to keep it a secret at least for another season. Therefore, you aren't supposed to mention this to any other fairy including healers. You, as my personal healer, should remain this as a secret". Queen stated.
"I understand your highness, may I leave now?"
"Yes Melda and one thing..." Melda turned back. "Never use you talent unless one's life is in danger. I never want to see any of you suffer because your talent or selflessness" the queen ordered.
