Alexa rounded the corner of the palace and saw Ivy talking to Alieta. "Ivy, that weapon, Tara said it had plasma bombs in it," said Alexa. "Yep four left now and plasma bullets too," said Ivy. Don't know how many of those there are but looks like lots." "That is amazing," said Alexa. "That weapon is impossible to make here on earth in either reality. Just be careful with it." "I will, and don't worry I have the safety on," said Ivy. "You best put it back in that chest and lock it up," said Alieta. Ivy said nothing, just stood still. "Are you okay, Ivy? Did you hear what I said?" asked Alieta. "It's here," said Ivy. "The boss demon and it is super mad." "The three of them looked around the corner and saw Avan and Tara standing in front of a very big red demon. "My your a big one," said Tara. "Well you know what they say, the bigger the are," said Avan. "What about the bigger they are?" asked Tara. "Really you don't know," said Avan. "Did you two kill all my creatures and servant demons?" asked the demon in a loud angry voice. "Well we killed your demons but had nothing to do with the land dragons," said Avan. "She devils can't kill demons, even weak ones," said the demon. "We can and you can't kill devils," said Tara. "I can kill anything," said the demon then raised both arms. "Now Tara, trap and scrape him in between dimensions." They both put out their arms and were able to stop him from blasting them but that was all. "Ha, Ha, Ha, you two are strong but not as powerful as me," said the demon. "Harder and faster Avan, this guy is strong," said Tara. "They both tried their hardest to turn this demon to ash but all they could do was make him hurt a bit. "When I break free of this trap I am going to kill you two then go into that land of magic and rule it as promissed to me. Those angels can have the rest of this planet." Avan and Tara can't kill it and it is going to break free soon," said Ivy. "They need my help," then Ivy went translucent and flew out to join the battle.

"Ivy, what are you doing here?" asked Avan. "It is too dangerous here for you." "Looks like you need some help," said Ivy. "Don't worry, I am translucent." "Your not going to shoot one of those bombs at him," said Tara. "It will distroy the palace and everyone around it." "Nope, I am going to use the bullets," said Ivy. "They are for land combat. "Well you better do something fast because he is about to break free and I don't want to see how powerful his energy blast is," said Avan. Ivy saw the demon was wiggling and squirming, almost free of the trap. She took the safety off the bullet trigger then shot one straight at the demon, hitting him in the chest. It blew up on contact and put a big hole right through the demon's chest. "Good shot," said Tara, "That weakened him some." The hole started to close quickly. Ivy remembered something about demons that Viridian told her. She aimed for his left shoulder this time and blew the left arm right off his body then did the same to his right arm. "Perfect Ivy, now he can't blast us," said Avan. The demons eyes began to glow bright red and a energy beam shot out at Ivy but passed right through her doing no harm. "Try to hold him still," yelled Ivy. "I need a good shot at his head." They both gave a big push, enough to hold the demon still for a moment. "Ivy shot and as soon as it hit his head the bullet exploded completely shattering the demon's head and turning it to ash. The demon was barely moving now. "Thanks Ivy, that did it," said Tara. "We got it from here." They then tuned the rest of the demon to ash plus did the same to the two arms laying of the ground.

"Okay that finishes him off," said Avan. "Is there anything else out there?" "Nope, nothing evil anyways," said Ivy. "The archangels are on the palace roof with God and Fillina. Not sure what is going on there, it's not my business." "Okay Ivy, you were a great help," said Avan. "Yep, your like a super forest sprite," said Tara. "We are heading back to the woods to cool off and rest. Come by anytime." Then they flew off. Ivy flew back to the palace and over Alieta and Alexa's heads. "Ivy wait, where are you going," asked Alieta. Ivy stopped and landed by the couch. "To put the weapon back in the chest," said Ivy. They both ran over to Ivy. "Wait a minute," said Alieta. "We watched what happened out there. Why did Avan and Tara just fly back to the woods without talking to us?" "They said they need to rest and cool down," said Ivy. "I guess doing that dimension scraping made them tired and sweaty," said Ivy. "Okay so that must mean there is no more threats?" asked Alieta. "What about the archangels? "God and Fillina took care of them on the palace roof. Not sure what they did though but they are gone now. Something about giving them new jobs." "Okay good," said Alieta. "So all is safe again then." "Yep back to normal," said Ivy. Then she thought for a second. "What is it Ivy?" asked Alieta. "Umm, I need a better lock, That other one is small and an elf can break if off, where can I find one?" asked Ivy. "Now that I know how dangerous this weapon is, I don't want anyone finding it and wanting to see what is in the chest." "Yes of coarse," said Alieta. "In the armory, there is a small gray dresser. In the second drawer there are pad locks and chains. Take one and you keep the key at home in a safe place." "Shouldn't you have the key? asked Ivy. "Nope I don't want anything to do with that weapon. I don't know how to use it and don't want to know," said Alieta. "Okay, that makes sense" said Ivy. "Can I have some ice cream after, I missed breakfast?" "Have what ever you want and as much as you want Ivy," said Alieta. "Wow, so lets see. Eggs and bacon, pancakes, home fries and...Ivy said to herself out load as she walked towards the palace door. Alexa smiled. "She is going to eat all of that plus ice cream?" asked Alexa. "Sounds like it," said Alieta. "She looks so calm like nothing happened," said Alexa. "She was in her first battle and helped save Fae Land. I would expect her to be excited." "She is but to her she just did what had to be done," said Alieta. "Ivy takes care of Fae Land in many ways. To her she was just doing her job and helping her friends. Ivy is all grown up now." "Ya and just as smart as me if not smarter," said Alexa. "She just doesn't want to show it though." "Really, why do you think that?" asked Alieta. "God told me," said Alexa. "Her inner energy has stopped growing and she has an amazing imagination due to her trips to Granada and if she thinks of something that would solve a problem or help people, she won't stop until she figures it out. Her body may have stopped growing but her brain is still young looking for knowledge. She just wants to Ivy, Forest Sprite in charge of the magic here and and not people thinking she is more. So where did Viridian and Zatsuky go?" "Probably in the palace dining room, said Alieta. "You go too, I will be there shortly. None of us had breakfast today." Alexa smiled and headed onto the palace.

Alieta looked around and saw all was peaceful, as if nothing happened. Elves were going about their business as usual, The sky was clear of sprites that went back to their duties. Fae Land was safe and sound and no one got hurt. She was about to go into the palace and have something to eat with every one when God appeared. "Our girls did a great jod," said God. "Even better than I expected." "There you are," said Alieta. "Yes it was a bit scarey there for a bit though." "Awe yes, Ivy and her weapon. She would of helped Avan and Tara even if she just had a sword," said God. "Never underestimate her, she is very powerful and extremely smart." "So I just heard," said Alieta. "So Ivy said something about you giving the archangels new jobs but she didl't know what." "Yes they won't be a problem anymore," said God. "Fillina took them down to hell." "You sent angels to hell as a punishment?" asked Alieta. "Isn't that kind of harsh treatment for an angel." "No they are taking over running things in hell," said God. "All memories of what they use to do and what happened to them has been erased and new instructions were given to each of them. They are starting out fresh." "Okay but kind of hot for angels don't you think," said Alieta with a smile. "Not at all," said God. "People believe that hell is all fire and brimstone but that is not true at all. Only the very bad and evil go to that section of hell and are dealt with buy Lucifers demons. The rest of hell is different for each sinner." "How is that," asked Alieta. "Well say a compusive gambler that was mean to everyone dies and needs to be punished," said God. "He would be sent to a games and gambling hall where he could play any game he wanted." "That sounds more like a heaven to a guy like that," said Alieta. "Yes at first he would think the same but what if he could never lose. No matter what, every game he played he would win making no challenge or tallent. Throw the dice and every roll is a winner. Every hand in poker he is deal is a royal flush. Any kind of game he plays he will never lose. He can never leave the gambling hall and it is always day time plus he never sleeps. Once he has learned this lesson and repents all his sins, which usually doesn't take souls long to do, they are removed from hell and put in a holding area bellow heaven where they wait to be judged by an angel." "Wow that sounds more realistic than souls floating around in fire all the time," said Alieta. "So Lucifer has helpers now." "Well no, he is coming home and rejoining his family," said God. "Fillina is bringing him back as we speak. It will be nice to have my son home again. This will make Fillina even happier. She misses him more that anyone." "Umm I thought you and Fillina were like a couple," said Alieta. "Lucifer is kind of a flirt around the girls." God smiled. "Lucifer has created a bit before I created Gabriel. He was created from the love of Fillina and myself. I am his father and Fillina is his mother." "So you are a family? Any other kids I should know about?" asked Alieta. No Lucifer was quite the handful so nope one is enough," said God. "I have to go meet them in the grassy plains, that is where Fillina chose to make our spot to converse when on earth. Now go inside and eat. Ivy is sitting in your chair though." "And rightly so, said Alieta but just for today." God smiled then vanished.

Fillina brought Lucifer up to the grassy plains in Fae Land. Lucifer had a confused look on his face. "Why are we stopping here Mother? I thought we were going to heaven," said Lucifer. Not yet Lucifer, not until your father talks to you first," said Fillina. "Isn't he in heaven as always?" asked Lucifer. "Well a lot has changed now that God has allowed me to find this amazing place," said Fillina. I have friends here now and have done some magical landscaping. I really like Fae Land." "Ya me too," said Lucifer. "The girls here are very pretty, not like the ones in hell." Fillina smiled. "Your still the same Lucifer I know and love," said Fillina. Just then God appeared. "Hi Father, Mother was just telling me that lots has changed here in Fae Land," said Lucifer. Your looking strong and all powerful as always. I didn't realize you came down here from heaven." "I do now that Fae Land is completed. "This is the new Eden, a place that took me a very long time to make and set up. The people here are blessed with longenity and good heath. Many are everylasting. Now Fae Land has expanded to the west, Paxon is now a province of Fae Land and I have a Sun Palace there spreading the magic. Fillina along with your help will make Fae Land a place of wonder and excitement." "Sort of like our second home then," said Lucifer. "Yes, well put," said God. "Now your mother and I are going up to heaven for a bit. You go to the palace, I know there is someone there you want to talk too. Just remember. You are no longer Lucifer the devil, you are Lucifer, son of God. You no longer have demon wings, you have your angel wings back if you choose to use them like Fillina. Do not make anyone sad or scared anymore. Just show them your love." "Okay, that will take a bit of getting used to," said Lucifer but I will do my best." "Good, that is all we can ask from you, said God." Then God and Fillina vanished. Lucifer looked around. "Hmm, I wonder which way the palace is from here," he thought to himself. "Best change into something more comforming to a handsome son of God. There that is much better!"

Lucifer raised up in the sky some to have a look around. "There is that waterfall," said Lucifer. He rose up higher and saw the Palace. "There it is, not the palace I remember," said Lucifer. Things have changed here. He popped himself over where Alieta and Ginger were standing. "Hello Alieta, I thought I would come over and say hi seeing that I will be around a lot more now," said Lucifer. Ginger looked up at Lucifer for a moment then went back to looking up stuff on her cell phone. "Yes I heard," said Alieta. "God told me that you are no longer in charge of Hell now." "That's correct, no more being the bad guy anymore. Just good old me helping people again, said Lucifer. How do you like my new look?" Ginger looked up for a second then went back to her cell phone. Very fancy and disquingished looking," said Alieta. Lucifer looked at Ginger that seemed to be ignoring him. "What are you looking for Ginger?" asked Lucifer. "Ginger looked up at him and smiled. "I am trying to find a place in Granada where I can buy fresh tropical fruit for the palace but there seems to be no such place," said Ginger. "Well you won't get fresh tropical fruit in Granada," said Lucifer. "Just imported fruit that is far from fresh. Can I show you the best place in the world to get what you want?" "You know how to work one of these?" asked Ginger. "Yep sure do," said Lucifer. Ginger handed him the cell phone and watched him type very fast then handed it back to her. "Tropicana Inc. in South America?" asked Ginger. "Yep the best tropical fruit you can buy anywhere. They have there own orchards," said Lucifer. I can take you there any time you want." "Ginger smiled. That would be very nice of you," said Ginger. But not right now." "Of coarse not now," said Lucifer. "I would like to ask you a question." "Okay, what is it?" asked Ginger. "Would you do me the pleasure of going on a date with me?" asked Lucifer. "Umm, why me, there are so many pretty girls here to choose from," said Ginger. "I am just a plain old elf." "Not to me," said Lucifer. "You are the most beautiful girl in Fae Land. Lovely red hair, the best looking ears of all the elves, perfect body but most of all, your eyes are the prettiest I have seen on any being." Besides I am much older than you so you are not old to me at all." Ginger began to blush. Lucifer will be a perfect gentleman, said Alieta. We have gone a few dates together." "Well when did you want to go on this date?" asked Ginger. "Now would be good," said Lucifer. "I know this wonderful restraunt in Paris France. We could visit the art museums and the Eiffel Tower. Do what ever you want and when you get tired I will bring you back home in a snap." Ginger looked at Alieta. "Well he is the son of God," said Alieta He is a perfect gentleman plus he is dressed very nicely." "If you don't go I will." "Yes, lets do it," said Ginger. "I have to go change first. No need for that, said Lucifer. He snapped his fingers and a beautiful coloured sun dress and matching slippers plus a flower halo appeared on Ginger. "So ready to go?" asked Lucifer. Ginger was surpised but all smiles. "Yep lets go," said Ginger then took his arm and they vanished. "This is good, this is very good," said Alieta. Ginger is going to see the good side of Lucifer and an entire different culture of people. Maybe he will take me on another date sometime."

The next morning both Fillina and Lucifer appeared on the grassy plains. "Now Lucifer, God told us to work together and make Fae Land beautiful and fun for everyone here," said Fillina. "Do you have any ideas?" Not sure, Ginger told me that Fae Land needed more parks when I was showing her some of Paris," said Lucifer. "They have lots of parks there." "Yes a park would be nice, but how do we make it a fun park," said Fillina. "Well make it an amusement park," said Lucifer. "Not a big one, just something that has some tables and benches and an open area where people can lay a blanket down and have a picnic," said Lucifer. "I have a great idea," said Fillina. "A fun ride, one that does not go too fast and scares kids. A Ferris Wheel would be perfect I think. They are known to be fun and romantic." "Okay, go for it Mother. "I haven't seen you do your thing in a very long time," said Lucifer. "Okay then stand back and let me work," said Fillina. She put out her arms and raised her head then began to wave her hands around. The grassy ground flattened out then she lifted off the ground and began to create the Ferris Wheel from the bottom up. "Keep going Mother, your doing great," yelled Lucifer. Fillina began to spin in mid air and at the same time a wind spun around the wheel adding colours and lights. She stopped spinning then decorated the bottom with plastic candy canes and big lolly pops. Next she created a ticket booth and finally put a fence around the park with a big entrance plus nice cut grass and a bunch of trees by the fences. "There, what do you think? Not bad for my first time making an amusement park," said Fillina. "Just amazing," said Lucifer. "People are going to love this park. "Now you make the benches and tables you mentioned as I go tell Alieta what I made," said Fillina. I forgot God told me to ask her before I made anything new." "Okay she will love it," said Lucifer. "So where is the cave and the wish tree garden at?" Just head a bit north east, you can't miss them," said Fillina. Then she vanished. Lucifer added the final touches with round benches with covers then went to see what else Fillina had made.

 Fillina appeared at the palace and found Alieta sitting alone on the couch reading a big old book. "Hi Alieta, what are you reading?" asked Fillina. "The bible, I wanted to learn more about the archangels," said Alieta. "I found all kinds of references about them and God plus Lucifer and Gabriel but so far your name hasn't come up for some reason. Have you read the bible?" "Well I heard there was a book that was being writen by humans but no," said Fillina. "By the look and size of that book, I wouldn't have time to read it. Is it a good story?" "Well sort of but it is made up of many stories and isn't that easy to follow so far," said Alieta. "The first part is about how God created the universe in seven days then it moves on to creating earth and the Garden of Eden plus Adam and Eve. I find it very hard to follow. Well I know for a fact that it took more than seven days for God to create the entire universe," said Fillina. "Why do you think he created me to help him." "So how long did it take then?" asked Alieta. "Beats me, seven earth days is nothing compared to time in space," said Fillina. "Actually there really isn't any time as you know of it in space. All that stuff about time and space is way beyond my comprehension but why care. He did it then I helped create terrains on liveable planets." "Ya way over my head too," said Alieta. "So where would you be metioned in the bible?" "Not sure I would be in a human writen book," said Fillina. "I shaped most of earth before there were people on it. Later on I may of been seen reshaping things here and there but I would of looked like an angel to them. I never talked to a human being until I came here. Just God and Lucifer plus all the angels." "Okay then I won't find a story about you in this book?" asked Alieta. I dought it unless they talk about an angel with black wings and a sexy robe, besides I can tell you all kinds of stories that I am sure won't be in any book writen by humans," said Fillina. Just ask, I would love to tell anyone here some stories." "The angels used to love it when I told them what I did." Alieta smiled, "I bet you have some great stories to tell," said Alieta. "Yep but not now," said Fillina. "The reason I came here is to tell you I made something with Lucifer but forgot to ask you first if it was okay." "Well what did you make?" asked Alieta. "Lucifer said that Ginger thought Fae Land needed more parks so I made one in the north end of Eden," said Fillina. "That is fine, I was going to ask you to make some parks here for the people anyways," said Alieta. "Well this is not just a park, it is an amusement park," said Fillina. The basic part is done but I have to add more things for the kids yet. I just put a ferris wheel it so far. "What is that?" asked Alieta. "Kind of hard to explain but it is a fun safe ride. Can I take you there to see it?" asked Fillina. "Sure, sounds better than reading this big book and Ginger is still in bed," said Alieta. "She must of got home late from Paris with Lucifer." Fillina smiled. "Lucifer mentioned Ginger's name a few times while we were talking," said Fillina. "One thing I taught him was to be very nice and kind to the women. He is not a flirt, he just really enjoys a woman's company and Ginger is a very special woman. Okay lets go." Then they both vanished.

"Okay here we are, the amusement park," said Fillina. "I have seen lots of amusement parks and carnivals, every one always had a ferris wheel." "Wow looks very fancy," said Alieta. "How does it work?" "Well first it runs on magic instead of electricity, it will take a full day to absorb enough to make it work," said Fillina. "Each of the pods can hold four people. Each pod is filled one at a time at the bottom. When the first one is full then the wheel is turned so the next empty pod is at the bottom. When all the people that want to go for a ride are safely seated in each pod then the person running the ride pushes the start button then the ferris wheel begins to spin at a slow speed but when you are on the ride, it seems faster. Around everyone goes several times until time is up then the unloading begins. If there is a line up for the ride then as people get off the ride, new people take their place." "That does sound like fun," said Alieta. "It goes very high, humans and elves that don't have wings will get to see things from above. So you have to buy a ticket to get on?" "That is up to you, said Fillina. "Tickets can be sold for anything in that booth. "All amusement parks have at least a hot dog stand in them and popcorn or candy floss. I am sure there are some people that would love to make some money selling food. People buy tickets and can use them to get food and drinks then at the end of the day each merchant turns in the tickets they have and gets paid. I would suggest one dollar a ticket or if they buy ten then make it eight dollars for ten, that is normal for most carnivals." "You sure know a lot about this stuff," said Alieta. "Are you kidding, I love amusement parks and have gone to lots of them, said Fillina. "I have been on a ton of different rides and love them all except roller coasters. They are too scary for me. Ferris wheels are my favorite ride. Not scary at all."

 Meanwhile close to the palace grounds Safire, the queen of the Blue Fae came out from the underground tunnel and saw the new palace. "Wow Alieta must be doing very well with trade," Safire thought. "That palace must of cost a fortune." She noticed Ginger was sitting out front so she ran over to her. "Hi Ginger, I need to talk to Alieta," said Safire. "It is very very important, well important to me anyways." "Safire! I haven't seen you in ages," said Ginger. "Well it hasn't been that long," said Safire. "The last time I was above ground, I met that cute little pink girl Sakura." "Ya, and that was over a year ago," said Ginger. "Oh, well that isn't ages," said Safire. "So Can you get Alieta for me please?" "I would but I don't know where she is," said Ginger. "I just got up and came out here a few minutes ago." "You just got up? That is very odd for you," said Safire. "You are always up at the crack of dawn." "Normally but I went on an amazing date last night and not even sure how late it was when I got back here," said Ginger. "You lucky girl! It is about time some guy noticed your good looks, does he have a friend?" asked Safire. "If he does I hope he likes blue." Ginger giggled. "You are still the same funny girl I always loved," said Ginger. "So maybe I can help some while we wait for Alieta." "I guess so, you are in charge of the palace and what a palace it is," said Safire. "Business must be good." "It is but Lulu created the new palace with her magic wand," said Ginger. "Really, is she a fairy?" asked Safire. "No she is a special pixie," said Ginger. "She is Cupid's sister. She lives here now not far from town. A lot has changed in the last year. So what is it you need?" "Well I am the queen of the Blue Fae and I have been a very good queen for a very long time living underground," said Safire. "Now I set up a councel down there where they can manage things without me being there all the time doing next to nothing, just being a queen with very few duties to do. Up here Alieta gets to rule many more people and it is way more exciting with fairies and pixies, plus I really haven't seen a lot of Fae Land." "So what are you saying?" asked Ginger. "Do you want stay up here for a while?" "I want to live up here now," said Safire. "I am so sick of living underground with so many girls that have no interest in learning new stuff and going out to explore. They even argue who is going to come up here for supplies." Ginger smiled. "I think that can be arranged right now if you want," said Ginger. "You can do that without Alieta knowing?" asked Safire. "Well I am in charge of the palace and this new one is huge," said Ginger. "There is lots of room for another Queen plus I am sure all the girls would love having you here." "You will have full access to everything including the wardrobe room that the sisters take care of and the dining room plus there is a games room now. Do you want to have a look inside and pick a room plus meet some of the new girls that live with us now?" Safire got a big smile on her face then grabbed Ginger, giving her a big hug that lifted her off the ground. "Your the best Ginger," said Safire. "You were always my favorite elf. What can I do to repay you?" "Well stop squeezing so tight and put me down to start," said Ginger. "Oh ya, sorry. I forgot how strong I get when I am on the surface," said Safire. "So new girls are here," you said. "Yep, just a few and very special girls," said Ginger. "You will see. So where would you like to go check out first?" "The dininig room and have a hamburger plus some ice cream, said Safire." "We don't have good food like that underground. The last time I ate ice cream was with Ivy. Man I miss that girl. Is she still around? She sure is and has turned into a very beautiful young woman and controls all the magic here," said Ginger. "She comes to the palace every day. Come I will eat with you. There is a lot I need to tell you about Fae Land that will amaze you." "Okay sounds great, new stories will be very refreshing," said Safire. "So it is still free to eat here right? I didn't bring any gold with me." Ginger laughed and took Safire's hand. "Come silly, it is going to be fun having you around all the time now," said Ginger. 

The End...
