ILYSM~ TY FOR READING
Father insisted we watched the first training session held by the ALPHA's.
Kriss was sitting beside me at a table shaded by a large umbrella while Father and Mother were sitting on another one.
"PARA-DE REST"
Guards neatly got into their position, standing straight with their feet slightly apart and their two hands, leveled with their chest, clasping each other at their backs.
With a tantalizing look, General "Titania" walked around the ranks they've formed. Her gaze right now might resemble of another person's, but the gentleness of her voice and the softness of her orbs last night were surely not an illusion.
Once she's scouted every last person, she went back up her small podium to get a bird's eye view of the whole group, below her, were her four comrades, also in the position the guards were in.
She was about to say something, but she closed her mouth again. A strange looking butterfly flew in the ranks. Other guards began to tense, some nearly stumbled. What's wrong with a harmless, orange butterfly?
Then it hit me. The butterfly was too big to become a normal garden butterfly. It was as large as my palm.
And it had a pair of legs.
It was struggling to go in front because of the soldiers constantly swatting it every time it came near. It seems to know the general, but she stayed in her position.
Suddenly, a soldier from the further rows successfully hit the strange insect and it ended up landing in Kriss's tea cup.
"Oh god!" she screeched and quickly stood up, knocking her chair in the process. She tried to walk backward, but the chair behind her caused her to trip on the grass, exposing the garter of her panty stocking.
I stood up and tried to help her, but the orange insect, now drenched it tea, shook her body like a dog to dry itself and ended up knocking the whole teapot on my dress shirt, which was almost boiling hot. I slightly doubled over and yelled in the process.
The maids ran to try and help us but the general was faster, with her comrades trailing behind her.
She approached us, and I thought she would offer her hand, instead she picked up the insect on her palm.
"Bella, we talked about this."
Surprisingly, the insect answered, "I'm sorry Tania... I just had to tell you something really important..."
The others helped us up, the maids came in with napkins for me to wipe of my shirt, though I'm pretty sure it would make a stain anyway.
"Marcus, go back to ranks and check if everyone's still in line, you go with him Portia."
"Yes ma'am" and they sprinted towards the front.
Father was just sitting there, staring at the scene, while Mother helped Kriss straighten her dress.
The insect, 'Bella', flew towards Kriss and I after completely drying off.
"I'm sorry Your Majesties. I didn't mean to fall on your teacup or drench your shirt with tea..." her voice was high-pitched, like bells ringing on a sleigh.
I smiled and said, "It's fine, it's fine... I'll just have this washed off. And the princess looks fine as well."
"No bruises, no scars, we're fine," Kriss assured.
Kriss, forgetting about the scene earlier, went closer to General Titania and her orange companion. "Is she a pixie?"
"A fairy," the general said. "Pixies are far smaller, and more hyper..."
"Where do they come from?" she asks once again.
"We were born from different kinds of flowers that just have been pollinated by butterflies in Creta. I, for example, was originally as Cosmos flower pollinated by a Monarch butterfly..."
My fiance stared at amazement. I couldn't help but smile along with her.
General Titania cleared her throat, "What was that you wanted to tell me Bella?"
The orange fairy turned around and spoke, "Not all the guards are here. Some guards and having a really small party in this big vacant room at the second floor. It's getting crazy inside and I thought you might want to take a look."
