Fillina went to Ivy's house and knocked on the door and Viridian answered it. "Hello Fillina, how are you on this nice bright sunny morning?" asked Viridian. "I am good," said Fillina. "Is Ivy up yet?" "Yes she just finished her breakfast and is just talking to her sister," said Viridian. She turned and called for Ivy. "Ivy, Fillina is her for you". "Okay, I will be wright there," yelled Ivy. "So you two are going to that Sun Palace God told us about yesterday?" asked Viridian. "Yep, he was here yesterday?" asked Fillina. "Yes we had tea and ice cream together," said Viridian. "Ya God loves his tea, that is for sure. He drinks it all the time in heaven," said Fillina. "Okay I am ready," said Ivy. "God told me a bit about the place last night. It sounds very interesting." "Oh it is more than interesting," said Fillina. "You will see." "Okay, I will take pictures of it with my cell phone for you Viridian. It is pretty far away." "Okay, thanks Ivy, have fun," said Viridian. "Okay Ivy, I will take you to the front gateway first then I will give you the grand tour," said Fillina. Then they disappeared. They reappeared on the ground in front of the palace. "Okay from here you can see the entire Palace," said Fillina. You see the globe on top of the big arch, it is gathering the light energy that is powering the four towers that make the magic." "How do the towers make the magic?" asked Ivy. "That I don't know. God created them to make white magic and that is what they do," said Fillima. "This place is pretty looking", said Ivy. "I have to take a picture from here first." "Okay lets fly to the front door and go inside," said Fillina. She showed Ivy all the rooms on the first floor then took her upstairs to the chapel. Okay this is very God like looking," said Ivy. "So people can come to pray in here? "Yes and people can get married here. Angels can bless new borns and and do what ever the family believes in, said Fillina. There are a lot of different religions so if there is a special ceremony that needs to be done then this is the best room to do it," said Fillina. "What is up these stairs?" asked Ivy. "That leads to the games room and a few other big empty rooms. I am still working on that section," said Fillina. "So come out on the deck with me and have a look around." They both went out the door and Ivy looked around. "Wow this place is so cool and even has small pools up here," said Ivy. Fillina smiled. "That is holy water blessed by God himself. It is used for a variety of different things by different religions like purification, protection from evil, baptism, blessings, some people drink it to clense their soul. Mostly for humans and their children." "Wow sounds like powerful stuff," said Ivy. looks a bit like Jessica's hot tub." "Who is that?" asked Fillina. She is the candy lady and makes lots of very good candy in her factory, said Ivy. "I will introduce you to her later." "So what do you think of all you have seen?" asked Fillina. "I don't know what to say, I have never seen a place like this before," said Ivy. "Ya God is best at making structures," said Fillina. "He just puts out his arms then instantly the entire building appears. He leaves the inside for me to decorate and furnish." "That fast! Wow," said Ivy. "So how long will the magic take to expand all over Paxon?" "That will depend on how many people move here and if pixies show up in the forests and spread their pixie dust around," said Fillina. The Sun Palace will eventually spread magic out in all directions but pixie dust would speed things up." "I can talk to Pippa about that," said Ivy. "There are more than enough pixies in the Fantasy Pixie Forest. Should be getting crowded in their now plus they can cover a lot of area very fast." "So where do you want to go now?" asked Fillina. "I think I will fly around Paxon a bit and see what is all here," said Ivy. "I know there are some towns and a big farm, plus my old forest and Samantha's land but that's it. Then I will go to the cove and see what is going on with the fairies." "Okay I will be in heaven," said Fillina. "Just call if you need me."

Back at the palace Alieta had just finished reading the sun dial and God appeared. "Good morning Alieta. Hope you slept well," said God. "Yes I did," said Alieta. "So what are you up to today?" Well I am going to meet some of the people that is on Ivy's list," said God. "She named off a few and the one she mentioned first was Pippa." "Yes I would say Pippa should know you are here," said Alieta. "If it wasn't for Pippa, Ivy may not be the girl she is now." "So she lives in those woods to the west right?" asked God. "She tends to move around a lot." Yep Pippa ia always doing something, at least that is what she tells me," said Alieta. "Would you like me to call her for you?" "What she will hear you all the way from the palace?" asked God. "Yep, seems it doesn't matter where she is or where I am she always comes when I call," said Alieta. "Interesting, that is something that must of evolved in her over the centuries," said God. "So I know she is very old," said Alieta. "Oh yes, much older than you Alieta. Just Zan is a bit older but not much," said God. "Call her for me, I want to see if she comes." She will, watch, "Pippa, please come to the palace. I have someone for you to meet," said Alieta. "That should do it, sometimes it takes a minute for her to pop over." "Pop over? She can teleport now too?" asked God. "No it just seems like that," said Alieta. She flies so fast when she is small, she just appears in front of me. "Well she must be far away then," said God. "No Pippa yet." "Let me try again," said Alieta. "Pippa, it is important, come to...." "I heard you the first time, I was busy doing something, well not busy actually I may of been sleeping a bit," said Pippa that just appeared. "You always have someone for me to meet. Why can't you call when you just want to sit and chat? Oh a new couch, we could sit and talk and munch on snacks there, that would be nice for a change." "Yes it would be, said Alieta. "Well you know I am a very busy girl all the time usually," said Pippa. "Well most of the time, actually not that often any more. I made some captains and they look after things for me now. I get to sleep in now!" God giggled. "Who is the very big handson guy Alieta?" asked Pippa. "Is he your new boyfriend? He is kinda big for you though. I could look for a nice sprite for you. There is a bunch in Samantha's woods." "Pippa, you haven't changed a bit," said God with a big smile. "The very first pixie I created as a test and look at you now, exactly the same, except for your hair, looks better now." "Umm, who is this guy Alieta?" asked Pippa. "This is God the creator," said Alieta. "Ya right and I am the queen of the pixies, wait I am the queen of the pixies so everyone tells me," said Pippa. "Yes you are Pippa and you deserve that title," said God. "There is not one pixie alive that hasn't heard of you and what you have done over the years. Pixies love to talk and gossip by nature and news moves very fast among them." "Yes that is true," said Pippa. "We can talk very fast and other people think we are nutty because they can't understand us but we are very smart. Well kinda nutty too and like to play all the time but we are smart you know. If you are God like Alieta says and I usually believe anything she says but this is a biggy, prove it by telling me something that only I know," said Pippa. "Hmm well let me see, there are so many things," said God. There is the time you went the wrong direction my mistake and ended up lost, four thousand miles away from your home. I made batches of sugar cane along the route back home until you reached familar land. And then there is Lily that you and Quinn met a very long time ago and are keeping her secret. Pippa's eyes opened wide. "How about the time you died after saving Zatsuky's life. Your soul was rising in the air and Garbiel was crying out to me over and over not to let such a good and loved person die. You made the ultimate sacrafice and gave up your life for another. There was no way I was going to let you die so I put your soul back where it belonged and repaired you just enough so death was no longer on the table." Pippa's jaw dropped and for the first time she was speachless and couldn't move a muscle.

"Pippa, are you okay, I have never heard you so quite before," said Alieta. "Umm, umm, I'm stuck. I can't talk or move," said Pippa. "Oh I guess I can talk. Let try and move my wings. Yep they work. Try my arms. Yep they work now too. Your God! Alietia this is God, No one knew about me getting lost and following the sugar canes and he wasn't there when I was in Gabriel's arms and definately know one knows about Lily." "Well I told you, this really is God," said Alieta. Pippa flew up nice and close to God and poked him on the chest. "Yep he is solid and is really here so eyes are working properly too." Pippa looked into God's eyes. "Your eyes, I can't beileve what I am seeing," said Pippa. "What Pippa, what do you see?" asked Alieta. "It's like I can see the entire universe in his eyes. It's beautiful," said Pippa. God smiled. So do you believe I am God now?" Pippa stopped flying and looked up at God. Who was that person I saw doing stuff with you?" asked Pippa. "That my friend is my helper and I guess my girlfriend as Ivy puts it," said God. "Really you have a girlfriend, is she cute?" asked Pippa. "Well Ivy says she is the most beautiful woman she has ever seen," said God. "Ivy has seen you already? I have to go talk to her, she is my best friend in the world, the entire universe, well you know what I mean," said Pippa. "You are my second best Alieta. Sorry but Ivy is smarter and much funnier. She makes me laugh all the time and loves playing with me. I got to go talk to her now. It has been an honor meeting you God." "How are you going to find Ivy?" asked Alieta. "She could be anywhere. "I always know exactly where Ivy is," said Pippa. "She is flying around in Paxon right now heading towards Samantha's place. See you later," then Pippa vanished. "How can she know where Ivy is all the time?" asked Alieta. "They have a friendship bound that is unbreakabe," said God. "They both are very magical inside that makes it possible to keep track of each other. "The good thing about her going to talk to Ivy is that she will tell Pippa that pixies are needed to spread pixie dust everywhere in Paxon. That's right and pixies will do what ever Pippa says even though they usually just do what they want, said Alieta. "Not really, pixies are very smart and if it makes sense to do something you tell them then they will do it, if not then they won't unless Pippa tells them. She has away of convicing other pixies, even the new young ones," said God. Okay so who is next on the list?" asked Alieta. Alexa, said God. She is the child I made in heaven." Then God vanished. "Alexa was made in heaven, I thought she was born by a human woman then adopted as a baby," thought Alieta.

 God appeared at Alexa's front door and knocked. "The doors open, come in. I'm in the livingroom", yelled Alexa. God walked in along the hall and found Alexa on the couch reading a book. "Did you know that people actually went to war because they had different religions," said Alexa. "Why would there be different religions, I don't get it." Alexa looked up and saw God. "Whoah, who are you? I have never seen you before. Is there something I can do for you?" asked Alexa as she stood up. "No I just came to see you and talk," said God. "Really, normally when a stranger comes to see me they need my teams help with something," said Alexa. "No we won't be needing your team today," said God but they are quite the group that you lead." "Okay so what do you want to talk about then," asked Alexa. God made himself a bit smaller then sat on the couch across from Alexa. "Nice trick," said Alexa. "I wish I could do the opposite and get bigger." "You are perfect just the way you are my child," said God. Alexa looked at him strangely then sat down. "So Alexa, do you remeber what you saw when you opened your eyes for the first time?" asked God. "Oddly I do, my mom and dad," said Alexa. "Later I found out they adopted me after finding me in a basket on their door step." "Yes that is correct," said God. "Did you ever search to see who you blood mother was?" asked God. "You bet, I went through all the records in the hospitals in Paxon," said Alexa. "I even talked to the nurses and doctors there but all babies born around the time I was, all had parrents and were accounted for. I gave up after a while and just moved to Fae Land when I got older and became the look out girl." "Yes and that is where you first met Alieta and started to form the team of heros," said God. "The reason you couldn't find a blood relative is because you were made in heaven." "How did you know that? Gabriel told me how God and herself created me in heaven," said Alexa. "I kept it to myself so people wouldn't think I was going crazy." "Good thinking but your one of the smartest girls in the world. No one would consider you crazy. Crazy smart maybe." "Okay so what what is your name?" asked Alexa. "You still haven't told me." "You can call me Father," said God. "Father, my Father Lives with my Mother in Paxon," said Alexa. Yes and so they will for a long time once the Sun Palace I made spreads the magic to their area," said God. "Okay Ivy told me that God wanted to talk to me when she came here with Fillina. I really didn't expect you to show up in person," said Alexa. "What did you expect?" asked God with a smile. "I don't know, a voice from above or something," said Alexa. "I certainly didn't expect God to knock on my front door and walk into my living room." God laughed. "Well I was just being mannerly," said God. "So all that Gabriel told me is true then," said Alexa. "Yes, I gave her permission to tell you everything when you called out for her in Alieta's den,: said God. "Wow, now this is a very good day," said Alexa!

"So can I get you anything?" asked Alexa. "No, I am fine, I had three cups of tea already when I was in heaven," said God. "Okay a lover of tea, I will remember that," said Alexa. "So you must be an expert about religion, can you explain to me why people would go to war just because they had different beliefs. That doesn't make sense to me." "Yes and it doesn't make sense until you dig deeper and see what is really behind the conflicts," said God. He picked up the book Alexa was reading. "Yes that was a very sad time back then for me and the angels," said God. We called it the Dark Ages. Luckily Fillina spent all her time here in Fae Land's reality were there were no religion wars. She knew about what was going on in Granada's reality but I told her to stay out of it. That girl is capable of doing things that I didn't want her to do. The people back then were very supersticious and the great leaders lied to their people saying that God would strike them down if they didn't fight the non-believers. The thing is everyone believed in me, they just didn't agree on some things like what I looked like and the type of worshiping that was needed to keep me happy. Other dumb things that I cared less about." "So why did you keep Fillina out of it like you said?" asked Alexa. "Well you just met her once and haven't seen what she can do," said God. I gave her free will but isn't restricted to interferre like the angels. She would of scared the heck out of them all by showing them how powerful she is, creating mountains and turning their farm land into deserts, stuff like that at first. She doesn't put up with stupidity very well." "That doesn't sound so bad," said Alexa. "Maybe at first but primative people back then scare easily," said God. "If you saw Fillina, fourty feet tall with black wings waving her arms around, making lightning bolts fly over their heads and making the clouds race through the sky and threating them or else she will put and end to these wars herself, wouldn't that scare you? They would of started to worship her instead of me." "I guess but I have seen worse than that and I didn't get scared," said Alexa. "What you and your team saw were evil wizards and demons using the black magic and nothing like the power Fillina or I have. She is a God and Gods can control the weather world wide, create huricanes and many other things, If she saw that people were worshiping a statue od her and not me, she would open up the ground and swallow the entire town or empire then close it so that life could start over there again." Wow so don't ever get Fillina mad, I will remember that," said Alexa. God smiled. "You are a nut at times," said God.

Pippa saw Ivy on the ground ready to go into the woods on Samantha's property. She flew down to see what she was doing. "Hi Ivy what are you up too?" asked Pippa. "Hello, I was just going into the woods and talk to some of the pixies and see how many there are now," said Ivy. "A little over five hundred," said Pippa. "I have been gathering them from far and wide to come here," said Pippa. "The woods has grown a lot and is now a small forest." "Wow five hundred, that is good," said Ivy. "Is there more around that can go in the other woods in Paxon?" "Yep, pixies are everywhere," said Pippa. "Why do you ask?" "Well God made a Sun Palace here in Paxon that makes white magic like Eden. We need pixies to go out at night like in Fae Land and spread pixie dust everywhere and not just here but everywhere," said Ivy. "Really, how many wooded areas are here in Paxon?" asked Pippa. "Three big forests and seven woods not counting this one," said Ivy. "I flew all over the province looking for them." "You know why don't I get a couple thousand from the Pixie Forest in Fae Land. It is getting crowded in there now plus the monkeys are making some little monkeys now," said Pippa. "That's what I figured but there are more monkeys already now?" asked Ivy. "Yep but just little ones, cool thing is they are family like and raise there own children," said Pippa. "I will go in this forest and tell everyone to spread out more at night then I will go to the Pixie Forest. Okay, tell them these are all fresh forests and woods," said Ivy. "Just small harmless animals like rabbits and squirels. Lots of room to move around." "That will get them wanting to go," said Pippa. "Okay, I will go see Samantha and talk to her about the sprites," said Ivy. "We need them to start patrolling all of Paxon now. Avan and Tara are going to be doing it but if the sprites do the patrols then they can come back to Fae Land where I am sure they would rather be." "Okay Ivy, see you back at the palace at supper time," said Pippa.

Ivy headed over to Smantha's place and saw her coming out of her house. She flew over and landed in front of her. "Ivy, how nice it is to see you again," said Samantha. "What brings you here?" "Well a few things," said Ivy. "I was wondering how many trained sprites you have now. "Thirty two, that's all of them, why do you ask?" asked Samantha. "Well God created a Sun Palace in the center of Paxon that makes magic like Eden does," said Ivy. "Pippa just went into that forest to tell all the pixies to start spreading their pixie dust every where now and not just around here, plus she is bringing a couple thousand pixies from Fae Land to populate the other forests and woods in this province," said Ivy. "Okay so what does that have to do with my sprites?" asked Samantha. "Well shortly all of Paxon will be emitting magic and that attracks evil creatures," said Ivy. "Tara and Avan are out scouting the western plains right now seeing what is going on outside of our borders. We need you to tell your sprites to start scouting all of the west, south and north borders of Paxon now. Sometimes magic comes at a price. If something happens we always got the heros and the she devils to take care of things but advance warning is a must." "Wow so things are going to be changing here now then and you said God created a Sun Palace?" asked Samantha. "Yep, he is in Fae Land right now," said Ivy. Do you want me to tell him to come visit you too?" "Umm, I think I will wait a bit Ivy. Meeting the creator is a big deal. I have to make sure I look good," said Samantha. Ivy looked Samantha up and down. "Ya right, like you have to worry about that," said Ivy. "Alieta will probably be sending some of her sprites to help out too. I will ask her when I get back to the palace." "Okay Ivy, you seem to be in charge of all of this, so I will talk to my sprites for you. "So how are you and my son making out. We are on a break right now," said Ivy. I gave him heck for being so lazy but he has his own business now so I check on him all the time to make sure none of the other girls hit on him. Tobias is my man and no body elses." Samantha smiled. "You are a very clever girl Ivy. A bit sneaky too like I was when I was younger," said Samantha.

After Sakura left the palace she flew home to see if her mother was home yet. She landed in the backyard and yelled for her. "Mom are you home yet? I have exciting news," yelled Sakura. Yeanny came outside. "Yes I have been home for a while," said Yeanny. "Why didn't you just come in the house?" "Um I don't know, it is nicer out here," said Sakura. "Okay so what is your news?" asked Yeanny. "Well guess who I met today," said Sakura. "Well maybe you should give me some clues first," said Yeanny knowing that Sakura liked to play athe guessing game. "Okay, let me think," said Sakura. "Okay he is very big, bigger than anyone here and has nice muscles but not as big as Hercules." "Nope, I still don't have a clue," said Yeanny. "Okay how about this then. He is new here but very very old. Older than anything but made everything plus very handsome and people call him Father a lot," said Sakura. "Well nobody in Fae Land is like that so must be a traveller," said Yeanny. "Where is he from?" Sakura pointed upward. "He is from the sky?" asked Yeanny. "Nope higher I think," said Sakura. "Okay so from space somewhere, is it Quazar?" asked Yeanny. "No not that high I think," said Sakura. "Well I don't get it." "What is between space and the sky?" asked Yeanny. "One more clue please." "Okay just one more then you will have to wait and see him for yourself," said Sakura that was getting frustrated. "He lives were the angels live." "Okay so he lives in heaven so he is a spirit or saint?...Wait, he is new here but older than anything and made everything, people call him father. Oh my God!" "You got it Mom, I met God today at the palace." "You met God at the palace? What how did that happen?" asked Yeanny. Well when I came out of the palace I saw a very big man talking to Alieta. I started asking him a bunch of questions then after he got down on one knee I got him to prove to me that he was God then told me how good and important I am here. He knew I end up loving everyone I meet here and he said it keeps the magic strong in Fae Land. That part I didn't understand but he is a very nice man with a soft voice and beautiful bright blue eyes. You can ask Alieta if you don't believe me," said Sakura. "Well you have never lied to me before so I believe you. How did you get him to prove he was God to you?" asked Yeanny. "Well he just told me how he let me share your soul and then later Cindy and him spit it so I wouldn't fall asleep all the time when you went away plus made you a wizard, said Sakura. Plus he knew what I prayed for every night before falling asleep before I got through all the names I wanted him to bless. Only God would know all that stuff. Yeanny smiled. "Your wright, so where is he now?" asked Yeanny. "I don't know, said Sakura. "Maybe with his girlfriend Fillina. She is his helper too and just as beautiful as Ivy. They are tied for being the prettiest." "God has a girlfriend?" asked Yeanny. "Yep and a very sexy dresser too," said Sakura.

"I have to go inside and tell Zotac," said Yeanny. He won't believe this. Can I have some ice cream please?" asked Sakura. I only had one bowl at the palace." "Sure come inside. Zotac may have some questions to ask," said Yeanny. They both went inside and Sakura had a seat at the table and Yeanny gave her a bowl of ice cream. "So what did Sakura want you to come outside for?" asked Zotac. Yeanny sat down. "Well you won't believe this but Sakura talked to God today," said Yeanny. "That's nice, it's good that she prays to him all the time," said Zotac. "No not praying," said Yeanny. "She talked to him in person at the palace." "No way. Nobody can see God. He is a magical being that stays in heaven and watches over us," said Zotac. "Well not anymore and Alieta was there too," said Yeanny. "Well I find that hard to believe," said Zotac. Sakura was being very quite while eating but kept her eyes on Zotac. "Have you ever heard Sakura lie about anything?" asked Yeanny. "Well no but I am not here all the time," said Zotac. "Well she is uncapable of lying," said Yeanny. "Watch this. Sakura. I want you to lie for me," said Yeanny. "Why, lying is bad," said Sakura. "Lets just call it a game then," said Yeanny. "Okay, I like games," said Sakura. "Okay, Sakura, tell me what colour an orange is but lie," said Yeanny. "Umm...purple," said Sakura. "See she she can lie, everyone can lie," said Zotac. "Just wait, said Yeanny. "Why did you say purple Sakura." "Because when a orange goes bad it turns purple and gets fuzzy, said Sakura. They are green too before the are ripe. "You see, she didn't lie at all," said Yeanny. "She just picked a different colour that an orange can be." "Hmm, that's interesting, said Zotac. "I don't like this game, can I just eat my ice cream please. If Zotac doesn't want to believe that God talked to me then tuff. I did and I talked to his girl friend too. She is awesome and very powerful too," said Sakura. "Yes dear eat up," said Yeanny. "God has a girlfriend too?" asked Zotac. "Yep it seems that way," said Yeanny. "Makes sense though. Sakura said he created her to help him and she is beautiful." "Yep, she makes beautiful landscapes," said Sakura. "Alieta told me that. What are landscapes?" "Mountains and forests and pretty gardens are examples of landscapes," said Yeanny. "Oh okay then maybe she made some here already," said Sakura. "Why else would the ground shake twice like it did yesterday." Yeanny, looked at Zotac. "Do you want to do a fly about and see if anything new is here?" asked Yeanny. Okay, at least it will be good exercise," said Zotac. You stay here Sakura. we won't be long. "Okay Lulu will be here soon anyways," said Sakura.

Yeanny and Zotac took flight towards the grassy plains first. It did'nt take them long to find something out of place. "What is that down there?" asked Yeanny. "I know for sure that was never here before. I fly by this area all the time." "Okay lets go down and check it out," said Zotac. They flew down and couldn't believe their eyes. "It's beautiful," said Yeanny. "There is no way fairies made this." "Your right, this was created by someone with great power. Even I couldn't do anything like this," said Zotac. "Look down the path, that tree has red leaves and lots seem to be swirling around the tree," said Yeanny. "Okay, lets check it out," said Zotac. "As soon as they reached the first step. The first set of lanterns on either side of them turned on. "Okay magical lanterns too," said Zotac. "Lets keep going. They kept walking along the stone path and lanterns kept coming on and going off when they passed them. They reached the tree and Yeanny looked at Zotac. "Can you feel the magic?" asked Yeanny. "It is so strong here." "Yes I do. This tree seems to be the center of the magic here." "Look the leaves, they are heart shaped," said Yeanny. "I have never seen a tree like this before in Fae Land or anywhere in Granada's reality either and I have traveled the world there," said Zotac. Suddenly Fillina appeared. "Hello Yeanny and Zotac. Welcome to the mystical garden and wishing tree. Pretty nice looking isn't it," said Fillina with a smile. "Almost as amazing as the Fantasy Cave I made though it is even better in my opinion."
