It's almost late afternoon and Anna keeps glancing at the willow tree from her bedroom window. She is waiting for Caspian. She plans to tell him about her past even if she herself does not fully know everything. She just needs to share to him this important thing about herself.
It feels strange that Caspian hasn't visited her for a week since the morning when he joined her family for breakfast. That was the day when she found out from her parents their secret about her.
Caspian stares intently at Anna for a long while. He seems to be deliberating on something.Anna glares back with a questioning look, waiting for Caspian's response. It feels like eons of time passed with both of them gazing at each other.
"How did you know you can't go inside?" Anna asks Caspian with disbelief. She is about to open the blue door but turns to face Caspian instead."I just know. Please trust me, I tried!"
Anna stares at the trail deep in thought. She woke up very early this morning, much earlier than Popsie Reed. No one wakes earlier than him. But this morning is different.
Sally's is a bit crowded this morning. It seems like most of the people in town decided to have brunch today than exactly coming for breakfast time.Sally's is a little Diner that is originally a minimart. Mr and Mrs Goodman runs the minimart way back but when both passed away, their children decided to turn it into a Diner.
Caspian cannot recall how he got to the valley that quick. He is just so relieved that Popsie Reed did not insist on driving him there all the way from town. If he did, Caspian might have taken longer to reach their place. At the same time, it will be harder to arrive there with someone not knowing the state of things upon their arrival. Popsie Reed is a very perceptive person so he has to have a sound explanation. His mind is already imagining worse-case scenarios when he heard the explosion. He needs to be exactly sure first w
Shortly after Aramir left with the rest of the rangers for their realm to consult with their Queen and King, the rangers have inspected every area of the valley thoroughly.Caspian and his companions are just staying around for the possibility of the townspeople’s arrival any time soon.Tru
Crossing the enchanted part of the realm is where the gate to Green Haven lies. If one looks back towards the valley, the fields are still visible but will appear like a thin layer of fog is separating it from the Haven. This is the enchanted mist. It conceals the realm of the Earth fairies beyond the valley.There is a bridge that they crossed to get to the Green Haven.
It is almost twilight when Caspian reaches the willow tree. He is so lost in his thoughts on the events in their realm that he does not notice that he has reached the end of the trail from the forest. He is even surprised that Anna is waiting at the willow tree, staring straight at him with a frown on her face.“Caspian, are you alright? Popsie said everything is back to normal in the Valley. But you still look worried?” Anna starts to inquire.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all of you who took their time to give my story a chance. It is my very first written work and it means so much to me that I was given the opportunity to share my imagined world of fairies in a version that combines contemporary and fantasy. Thank you for joining Arianna and the rest of my characters in their journey to the world of fantasy and reality. I hope my characters would stay in your memories forever as a source of inspiration as well as an escape from the bustles of daily living.I am also grateful to my editor Inker.
Arianna smiles to herself when she sees the wooden swing still attached to the Willow tree. It has been almost 10 years since she had it done with the help of Bran and Caspian as a surprise for her best friend Jo who is returning home from Alaska.Now, the wood color is already faded but still sturdy as ever. The roses remain in bloom with the magical enchantment they have casted so it’s a combination of blue and green.Caspian is by her side carryi
The snow falls beautifully on the trail. Princess Aria marvels about it as soon as they magically appear at the trail that she has often tread when she is still living in the human world. She previously planned to return here without using any magic so she can see and feel once more what she misses in this world.
The wedding of Aldar and Melandra is one that would be remembered in the history of the Four Reams. Both rangers serve as an inspiration to all the fairies because their love gives everyone a positive feel of a happy life despite being destined to be the protector of the realm. This is yet another sign that a long lasting peace is achievable when the fairies are at ease to live their days without fear.
Princess Aria sits beside her best friend Jo who is presently amazed by the busy scene. This fairy wedding is really fascinating for them. Seeing a lot of fairies dressed formally in real life is like a dream come true. This is one of the fairy tale scenes from the books that these two girls read over and over again when they were young. They adored the lovely dresses of Cinderella, Aurora and all the other princesses in fairy tales.“Look at that Anna…I mean Princess Aria. I like that blue one your aunt is wearing. It is classy and not too feminine.”
The reality of Alirion’s end takes a while to sink in amongst the fairies of the four realms. After so many years of fear and uncertainty, the fairies tend to expect that Alirion would come back from his final death with stronger dark magic than ever.However, in the passing of days, the fairies of the realms begin to breathe easier. Finally, peace is achieved.The first act of the Kings and Queens of the four fairy realms is to pardon the creatures
Caspian's temple hurts terribly when he regains consciousness. He finds it difficult to open his left eye, as if something is blocking his vision. However, his right eye seems fine and when he finally opens it, the first image he sees is Princess Aria's worry-stricken face.“Princess?”Caspian is bewildered but relieved at the same time to finally be with his Princess once more. He senses the soft lap of the Princess beneath his pulsing head.
The orcs are ready with their maces. They show no fear though they are aware of being outnumbered. Is it bravery or just plain arrogance?Cleo and Caspian strike with their swords at the orc in the middle. The other two orcs are busy attacking their other fairy companions.The fight is more of a test of strength and not of magic. The fairies battle with the orcs using their weapons.The orcs are very noisy as they fight with gr
Jo is finally conscious and appears to have no permanent damages from the physical assault by the orcs who kidnapped the princess combined with the magical burning done by the Dark fairy’s message spell. Nurse Zella healed her relatively quickly.“Thank you for healing my friend immediately.”Bran says in a serious tone.
