Safire and Casper were flying around just checking areas out from above when they saw the new amusement park that Fillina made. "Now that I need to have a closer look at," said Safire. "Okay, I haven't seen a park like this for a long time," said Casper. They flew down to the front entrance first. "It doesn't look done or finished yet, usually there are more rides and booths all over the place," said Casper. "Okay so what is that big round thing?" asked Safire. "It's a ride, said Casper. Not sure what it is called though. The rides I have seen were nothing like this one." Lets get closer and have a better look at it," said Safire. They rode into the park and got closer to the ferris wheel. "Okay looks like it spins with people sitting in those baskets, "said Casper. Looks kind of boring to me, I like riding you much better and we actually go somewhere," said Safire. "Not everyone has a flying unicorn, this looks like something Fillina would build," said Casper. "Well nothing is happening here, lets head back to the palace and see what is going on there, said Safire. "Sounds good to me," said Casper. "I wouldn't mind talking to a few mares in the stable. Maybe the elves will brush me again too. It feels so good when they do that." "I bet it does, okay lets go and not super fast this time please," said Safire. "Lets go to the stables first then I will walk over to the palace," said Safire. "Why don't you stay a bit and let the elves brush you," said Casper. "I don't want elves to brush me", said Safire. "Does it look like I have hair on my body?" "You got a bunch on your head and it is all messy from the wind," said Casper. Safire used her fingers to fix her hair some. "Hows that, better?" asked Safire. "Yep but a brush would do better," said Casper. "Just go talk to all your girls friends," said Safire then she walked out of the stable. When she reached the palace there were two girls outside that Safire hadn't met before. "Hello, I'm Safire, where is everyone?" "Inside doing stuff," said Olympia. "I am Olympia and this is Miyo. We live in the palace too." "So when they said Blue Fae, they really meant blue," said Miyo. "Yep, nothing is wrong with being blue," said Safire. "Oh I didn't mean anything by that, it is a very nice shade of blue," said Miyo. "Thanks, who wrote on you?" asked Safire. "Where, what do you mean wrote on me?" asked Miyo. "Right there on your tummy and foot," said Safire. "No silly they are tattoos, don't you like them?" asked Miyo. "They are body art". "I suppose, I guess there was no paper around when they drew on you." "Your kidding right Safire. Ivy told me that you liked to kid around a lot," said Olympia. "Ya I know they are tattoos. Nice ones too but you won't catch me with one," said Safire. "Nobody is sticking me with needles. So anything going on here at the palace? Casper and I finished flying around Fae Land." "Were is he? I would love to meet a blue unicorn," said Olympia. "Me too," said Miyo. "He is hitting on the mares at the stable," said Safire. "Miyo giggled. Sounds like there will be baby horses in a while. Probably but those stalls are pretty small for two," said Safire. "Well everyday a bit after lunch the elves let them out to graze and get some exercise," said Miyo. "Lots of room out in the meadow. We are going to to town," said Olympia. "Do you want to come with us?" "What to go shopping?" asked Safire. "No, Miyo is going to show me where the dance club is," said Olympia. That is where all the boys hang out." "Oh, I think I will pass this time," said Safire. "I'm not looking to hook up with anyone yet." "Okay, your choice," said Miyo. "Sabrina and Koko should be out soon. Tiffany is giving them a bath." "I gather Sabrina is Tiffany's little sister but who os Koko?" asked Safire. "Koko is there pet," said Olympia. "Really, what kind of pet, a cat?" "Nope, looks like a small dragon kind of," said Olympia. Really cute looking. Anyways we have to go and get our horses before the elves let them out to graze. See you latter Safire, nice meeting you," said Miyo then they headed to the stable. "Hm a little pet dragon. Who would want a dragon for a pet?" thought Safire. "Well I best make good use of this couch and wait to see who comes out first. It's a nice day, this is a nice couch, I am a nice Blue Fae that is a nice shade of blue. Of coarse it is a nice shade of blue and what is it with pretty human girls getting tattoos anyways. It must hurt a lot and bleed." "Hello, who are you talking too?" asked Sabrina that just came out of the palace. "Oh hello, you must be Sabrina, Tiffany's sister," said Safire. "Yep she just gave us a bath," said Sabrina. "Well I was just talking to myself there was no one out here so I think out loud. Don't worry I am not crazy, just a bit nutty sometimes," said Safire. "That's okay I do that all the time too," said Sabrina. "What do you do all the time?" asked Koko that just came around the corner of the steps. "Talk out loud to myself," said Sabrina. "I do that all the time," said Koko. "I talk to trees and flowers that don't talk back so I am always right. I play by myself and try to catch my tail. Haven't caught it yet but I will one day." "And what would you do with it if you ever did catch it?" asked Safire that had a look of surprise on her face. Koko jumped up on the couch beside Safire. "Well, I don't know. I never thought of that," said Koko. "I'll figure it out when I catch it. Who is the pretty blue elf Sabrina?" "I don't know but she knows me and my sister," said Sabrina. "My name is Safire. "I live in the palace now." "Oh, okay Tiffany told me you are the queen of the Blue Fae. We have the room right across of yours," said Sabrina. "Okay so that makes us neighbors," said Safire. "That means I can come over and borrow a cup of sugar then." "I guess so, said Sabrina. "I don't think we have any sugar in our room." "I'm kidding, it means we can visit each other," said Safire. "So where is your sister?" "She is cleaning the batroom," said Sabrina. "We kind of made a mess in there." "Yep we started splashing water at each other and some water got on the floor then when I jumped out I shook my body and wings and water went every where then I tried to lick it up but it tasted soapy. That is when Tiffany told me to stop and put clean clothes on Sabrina," said Koko. "Yep she told us to go outside while she cleaned up but not to get dirty again," said Sabrina. "Okay so how did you get dirty in the first place?" ask Safire. "Sakura and I were playing catch Koko's tail," said Sabrina. I caught it once but it is slippery and I couldn't hang on to it." Safire started to giggle. "So Koko, I haven't seen anything like you before. What are you?" "A Precious, Gabriel made me and sent me to Fae Land to be Tiffany and Sabrina's pet," said Koko. "They have good food in the palace and Lilly made us burgers and fries. This is way better than where I was before." "Where was that," asked Safire. "Why does everyone ask me that? Land of small fairies that just make veggies to eat I guess," said Koko. "Ask Gabriel, it's her place." "I don't care where Koko came from, I am just glad she is here now," said Sabrina. "Your right, doesn't really matter," said Safire. Tiffany came out of the palace and saw Safire talking to her sister and Koko. "Hi Safire, I see you have met my sister and Koko," said Tiffany. "Yes they are both adorable," said Safire as she got up off the couch. "Sabrina get up on the couch with Koko," said Tiffany. That way you won't get dirty." "She's just a kid, said Safire. Kids get dirty, that is just part of being a kid." "Ya I know but I have to look out for here now and at least try to keep her a bit cleaner," said Tiffany. "You should of seen the colour of the bath water when they got out of it." "Ya Koko said they made quite a wet mess," said Safire. "That doesn't bother me, I like cleaning. I never had to do it when my parents were alive. It shows I have done something good," said Tiffany. "I get it though I am not big on cleaning," said Safire. "Underground is all dirt and rocks. I would just jump in the water to clean up." "Well we can't do that here," said Tiffany. "You kinda can, all the girls here go to Sandy Lake to cool off and swim plus lay on a towel and sun bathe. The water isn't very deep at all. I went there once with Alieta and Ginger. Very pretty place with the mountain waterfall," said Safire. "Really, where is it?" asked Tiffany. "You see those small moutains over there, that is where it is," said Safire. "You can walk there and in that lake they can splash all they want." "Well she is still very young, I will have to keep a close eye on here still," said Tiffany. "I am twelve and will be thirteen in ten months," said Sabrina, "Then maybe I will grow some boobs like you." "What are boobs?" asked Koko. "Something I don't have yet," said Sabrina. "Your right, the two of them are adorable together," said Tiffany. "You never saw her before she met Koko. Never smiled and hardly talked plus stayed in the house all the time except when I made her come to the palace with me. I truley believe a Precious was created by Gabriel to bring the life back into sad people especially young ones." "And what about you? Has Koko effected you?" asked Safire. "Well when I first went to her laying under the maple tree and she opened those big eyes of her's and looked right at me and smiled, I felt my heart become lighter and nothing seemed to matter anymore for a moment. I just smiled back at her. It was like seeing a new born baby open it's eyes for the first time and looking at you. Sabrina did that to me when I was holding her in my arms," said Tiffany. "Wow, that sounds like an amazing feeling," said Safire. "Something like when I cut off the head of an orc." Tiffany smiled. "You are a nut sometimes, arn't you." "Yep, we all are here in Fae Land," said Safire. "Some more than others." "Well lets all go in and have some ice cream," said Tiffany. "Yeah, I love ice cream. We need to get some sugar for our room anyways," said Sabrina then Koko and her ran into the palace. "Sugar, what's that all about?" asked Tiffany. "I'll tell you later," said Safire. Ginger came out of the palace after helping some elves set up a few more rooms for guests. She was about to sit down and rest when a woman carrying a staff rode up on her horse. She jumped off the horse and walked up to Ginger. "I am Princess Aiko of Triland. I have traveled for three days and three nights to reach a place that I heard was a land of magic. Do you know where it is and if it exsists?" "Yes I do but do you always introduce your self like that to someone you just met with out saying hello first?" asked Ginger. "Well yes I do, that is the way I was taught," said Princess Aiko. "Do we have a problem?" "No not really, you have to excuse my tone. You see I just finished helping three of my elves set up three more rooms in the palace and was about to rest on the couch when you showed up," said Ginger. "Okay so you are a worker then," said Princess Aiko. "No I just like to help seeing I am much stronger then them," said Ginger. "I am in charge of the palace." "One person is in charge of this entire palace?" asked Princess Aiko. "I have never seen such a huge palace." "Yep just me, my name is Ginger of Fae Land. This is the most magical land in the world. Excuse me while I get someone that will properly greet you. Greeting royalty isn't my thing." Then Ginger went inside to get Tiffany. "I hope I didn't upset her," thought Princess Aiko. "She must quite remarkable to be in charge of this entire place." When Ginger got into the palace she heard talking a laughing coming from the diningroom. When she looked in there she saw Safire, telling Tiffany, Sabrina and Koko, jokes. "Sorry to interrupt you four but I need Tiffany to talk to a Princess Aiko that is outside," said Ginger. "Really, she is here?" asked Tiffany. "I wonder what she wants?" "Well that is for you to find out," said Ginger. "I am not good around royals that think they are above others," said Ginger. "She actually called me a worker! She changed her tone when I told her I was in charge of the palace." "Yep, Ginger is second in command," said Sabrina. Ginger smiled. "I did say sorry for snapping at her. I was tired and needed to rest on the couch after helping the elves." "Okay but Princess Aiko is from Triland. That is one of the clans that was attacking where I lived," said Tiffany. "I have never seen her though, did she look dangerous?" "Not really but she was holding a staff that looked magical," said Ginger. "Now if she so much starts to point that at you, the sprites above you will fire there arrows and kill her. Our sprites never miss a target." "There are sprites flying above?" asked Tiffany. "Yep all day and night," said Ginger. "Okay so should I get changed first?" asked Tiffany. "I wouldn't bother," said Ginger. "What you are wearing looks much better than what she is wearing but that tiara on her head is very pretty though." "Okay lets go then," said Tiffany. "Not me, just you," said Ginger. "If she was to say anything bad about you I would probably punch her in the nose." "Okay, you better stay here then just in case," said Tiffany. Then Tiffany left. When she got outside she saw the princess patting her horse. "Hello, my name is Tiffany. Ginger told me you are Princess Aiko." "Yes that is correct," said Princess Aiko. "I think I made her mad at me. If I did I am very sorry." "Yep she is a bit upset after you called her a worker, even though she does like to work," said Tiffany. "She is second in command here in Fae Land." "Oops, I really goofed, didn't I," said Princess Aiko. "She will get over it," said Tiffany. "So what can I do for you?" "Well like I told Ginger, I have traveled for three days to find the land of magic. Ginger said this was Fae Land, the most magical land in the world so I guess I finally found it." Her arm was beginning to relax and the staff was slowly begining to point towards Tiffany. "You best not let that staff point at me or the armed sprites above us will shoot you dead," said Tiffany. Princess Aiko looked up and quickly leaned the staff up against the couch. "Wow you people don't fool around, you must be very important here too," said Princess Aiko. "Everyone in Fae Land is important," said Tiffany. "We are all equals here, just with different jobs to do." "Exactly, that is what I tried to tell my parrents but nope, they have to be above everyone else and rule," said Princess Aiko. "Can we sit and talk? You sound like a very level headed person." "Sure, that would be fine," said Tiffany. They both got comfortable on the couch and Tiffany called over an elf. "Hi Tiffany, what's up?" asked the elf. "Could you please bring this horse to the stable and have the stable hands wash her down and brush her?" asked Tiffany. "Yep sure can, follow me horsey," said the elf but it didn't move. "Something is wrong with your horse, it is not listening to me." "Talk in elven," said Princess Aiko. "Oh okay," said the elf then said the same thing in elven. Now the horse followed her. "So you haven't told me why you traveled so far to get here," said Tiffany. "Well I had to get away from all that stupid fighting and killing because of this staff. It wasn't so bad when they were just feuding with swords," said Princess Aiko. "Someone gets hurt then they retreat and got patched up. Very few people actually got killed." Tiffany was remembering back when she was still at home and that was how it was for years. "Then my dad bought this staff off of a wizard because he decided that it was time for him to rule over all three clans," said Princess Aiko. "I saw him use it for the first time from my palace window. It scared me so much, I ran to the other side of the room and hid behind my bed." "What happened?" asked Tiffany. "Well he pointed it at a group of attacking elves then beams of light came out of the big ball on top and killed all of them instantly," said Princess Aiko. "Then he ordered his troops to advance. Elves can live for hundreds of years and he just ended them with no regard for life at all." "Okay, so how did you end up with it?" asked Tiffany, that was beginning to feel uneasy finding out it was Aiko's father that probably killed her parrents. "I stole it," said Princess Aiko. One night before I went to bed I prayed to God to stop my father. Then I went to sleep and had the most vivid dream I ever had of me stealing the staff and some gold then a voice said ride north to the land of magic. I woke up abruptly and got out of bed. I took my mother's war outfit while they were sleeping and a bag of gold coins from her dresser then snuck downstairs and saw the two men guarding the staff were asleep. I suck up quietly and grabed the staff and then went to get my horse. No one was around so I just road out of Triland as fast as I could." "So you did all of that because of a dream and a voice in your head?" asked Tiffany. "Yep, wouldn't you do the same to save lives? asked Princess Aiko. "That dream seemed so real." "I sure would," said Tiffany, "You are more than a princess, you are a hero also." "Well a tired and scared hero maybe. That staff scares me," said Princess Aiko. "Come in the palace with me," said Tiffany. "You have to tell that story to Alieta." "Who is that?" asked Princess Aiko. "She is first in command," said Tiffany with a smile. "Alieta is the Queen of Fae Land. "The Queen! I can't meet the queen looking like this," said Princess Aiko. "We can get you cleaned up and changed later," said Tiffany. They both got off the couch and Princess Aiko grabbed the septer then Tiffany took her into the palace and to the dining room. "Okay so how did it go Tiffany?" asked Ginger. "Very good," said Tiffany. "I need her to meet Alieta. She has a story to tell her. Well she is in her den right now and said she didn't want to be disturbed," said Ginger. "Ginger' I am so sorry if I offended you and made you mad," said Princess Aiko. "I was tired too after that long trip. I now know how very important you are here." "Oh okay. I had some ice cream and listened to Safires's jokes," said Ginger. "I am fine now. So she has a story to tell Alieta you said Tiffany?" "Yep one close to my heart," said Tiffany. "Well just knock on the door and let here know it is you," said Ginger. "She won't mind being disturbed by you." "Okay thanks," said Tiffany then they left. "Well she seemed nice enough," said Safire. "Pretty hair too." "Ya I guess I misjudged her," said Ginger. "Now tell us another joke." "Now Alieta doesn't like being addressed as Queen Alieta, just Alieta she likes," said Tiffany. "Okay you can drop the princess and just call me Aiko like every one did at home." Tiffany smiled then knocked on the quite nooks door. "Who is it?" asked Alieta. "Tiffany, I have someone you need to meet and she has a story to tell you," said Tiffany. "Well come on in then, I like to hear stories," said Alieta. They went in then Aiko saw Alieta then looked at Tiffany. "She's a hybreed sprite, I have only heard about them," said Aiko. "They are very powerful." "Yep and this one is very friendly too," said Tiffany. "Put that septer beside the fireplace for now." Alieta got up out of her chair. "Well who have we got here?" asked Alieta. "This is Princess Aiko from Triland but she likes to be called just Aiko. She has a story that you need to hear that hit home with me," said Tiffany. "In my eyes she is a hero," said Tiffany. "A hero you say, well please tell me the story," said Alieta. "Hero stories are the best." Then Alieta sat back down. Aiko told the entire story she told Tiffany almost word for word. When she was finished Alieta stood up again and looked at Tiffany. "Close to home you said Tiffany. Do you two know each other?" asked Alieta. "No I only heard about her back home," said Tiffany. "You heard of me, how is that possible?" asked Aiko. "Well I am Princess Tiffany. I always wanted to meet you but my parrents wouldn't allow it." "You are Princess Tiffany? I head of you too and wished I could meet you also," said Aiko. "My dad forbid it. "Well you two are together now by God's will from the sounds of things," said Alieta. "So that wizard staff is a nasty weapon then." "Yes but I don't know if it can be distroyed," said Aiko. "I tried throwing at a rock wall but didn't even scratch it." "Of coarse you couldn't destroy it but I know who can," said Alieta. "I definately don't want that staying in my palace. "Merlin, I need your help. It is extremely important". "There he will take care of it when he gets here." "Who is Merlin?" asked Aiko. "Do you know who he is Tiffany?" "Nope, not a clue," said Tiffany. "Well you two are in for a treat," said Alieta. "He is the most powerful wizard in the world and very good friend of mine. Sometimes it takes a bit for him to get here though. He is getting pretty old." "Old, who is old," said Merlin that just appeared. "Like Ivy says you are only as old as you feel and I feel young." "This girls is Merlin," said Alieta with a smile. "My my who are these two very pretty young woman you have here Alieta?" asked Merlin. "Well Tiffany is the blonde girl and Aiko is the newest member to Fae Land," said Alieta. "I see and more than just pretty girls," said Merlin. "Your both princesses. Two new princesses in the palace now." "Three, said Tiffany. "My little sister is downstairs in the dining room. She is just twelve." "Oh a little precious one," said Merlin. "Yep she is with Koko too plus Ginger and Safire," said Tiffany. "Pardon me, who is Koko?" asked Merlin. "You know a Precious, said Tiffany, she is our pet." Merlin looked at Alieta. "You mean one of Gabriel's Precious animals is here? I haven't seen one of them for about two hundred years," said Merlin. "Trigger I think it was called." "Yes we sure do," said Alieta. "Very cute and commical." "Fasinating, I have to see this new Precious," said Merlin. "What was it that is important that you need help with?" "That against the wall," said Alieta. Merlin turned around and saw the septer. "An old wizard's septer, that can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Looks like a fire septer." PIt already was in the wrong hands," said Aiko. "I stole it from my father that was killing evles with it." "Oh my, you must be a very brave princess also to do something like that," said Merlin. "We need you to destroy it," said Alieta. "I don't want it in the palace." "I guess you wouldn't," said Merlin. "He picked up the staff then said some words and waved his hand at it, and tossed it up as it burst into flames then vanished. "There, gone for good now," said Merlin. "So is there anything else you need me to do?" "Nope that pretty much covers it," said Alieta. "Okay then can see Koko now?" asked Merlin. "What kind of anaimal is she?" "A little dragon," said Tiffany. "They are probably all outside by now. I have to take Aiko to my room to have a bath and get her some clean clothes to wear." "So that leaves me and you Alieta," said Merlin. "Care to join me?" Alieta smiled. "Sure, why not, I want to see the look on their face when you do some magic tricks for them." "Yes the young ones like my tricks the best," said Merlin. Everyone left the den together. Tiffany brought Aiko through the hallways of the palace, heading towards her room. "This palace is so beautiful inside also," said Aiko. "My father's palace is nothing like this, very old and dusty everywhere." "Well this palace is fairly new but Ginger makes sure it is spotless all the time. She will even clean something herself that her elves missed." "You always say her elves, are they her servants?" asked Aiko. "No nothing like that," said Tiffany. "The elves that work in the palace are like her family. There are a lot of them and she knows each one of them personally. The elves all love her like their mother and never question anything she asks them to do. Ginger is very old and has been in Fae Land longer than Alieta. Actual Penny told me Ginger is responsible for Alieta becoming queen of Fae Land. Alieta and Ginger are the best of friends and are together most of the time when they are not working." "Okay well she seemed to forgive me in the dining room," said Aiko. "That blue elf that was telling the jokes, is that the palace jester?" Nope, Safire is the Queen of the Blue Fae and owns a blue unicorn now named Casper," said Tiffany. "What, another queen? Man I am not being very good at judging people today," said Aiko. "Good thing you told me ahead of time." "Okay here we are," said Tiffany. "This is our first day living in the palace so there isn't a lot of stuff in it yet." Once inside Aiko was amazed at how big the room was. "This is huge," said Aiko. "You could fit four of my old room in this one room." Ya the rooms in the palace are very big," said Tiffany. "Now through that door is the bathroom. There is running water here through out the palace so just turn on the hot tap for a bath." "Your own bathroom and running water! This is like a dream palace," said Aiko. "Yep, pretty cool," said Tiffany. "I will go get you some nice clean clothes from the wardrobe room." "When Tiffany came back with the clothes she found Aiko sitting on the bed with just a towel rapped around her. "Okay, I brought you a nice top like mine, just a different colour and a short skirt to show off your long legs." "Ya my chicken legs my friends used to call them," said Aiko. "They look fine to me," said Tffany. "Your friends must of all been short and jellious of your height." "Yes they were all shorter," said Aiko. "You are being so nice to me for someone you just met. How old are you?" "Twenty one, my sister is just twelve," said Tiffany. "Well I am older than you, I am twenty two, almost." Tiffany laughed. "Here put these on silly then lets go outside and see what is going on," said Tffany. "Aiko put on the top, skirt and panty then walked over to Tiffany that was sitting on her bed. "Okay, how do I look. Isn't this too sexy for wearing at a palace? My parents would never let me wear anything like this." "You look perfect, said Tiffany. "The saying here is the sexier the better. You will see when you meet the other girls that live here. Come lets go, maybe Merlin is still here."
