The Amazing Land Of Fae A World Invasion Prelog The rest of the day went by normally, and Hercules was given a big cot to sleep on for the night seeing he was too big to fit in the Palace plus he enjoyed sleeping under the stars. Alieta and Ginger were sitting on the palace steps as always watching the pixies. Hercules watched them too and told them that Fae Land was no land that he had ever seen before. Ginger was unaware of what might be coming and Alieta wanted it to stay that way and trusted what Tempressa told her. Soon they turned in for the night but Alieta had a very big problem falling to sleep... Chapter 1 In Granada Kimmy took her telescope out side and looked at the stars as she liked to do from time to time. As she was scaning the stars something big appeared in her view. She panned the telescope back and saw what looked like one big ship and lots of other ones around it. No way, she said to herself. It can't be. Alien space ships and lots of them. That can't be good. She called the the news room and told them what she saw and they first thought she was seeing things but she said call the planetarium and gave them the corordinates. They did it because Kimmy was well known in Granada and within a few minutes air rade sirens went off all over Granada. Kimmy ran back inside her cottage and turned on the TV. "Alien space crafts are approching. Everyone please stay indoors. We do not know what there intentions are at this time." Kimmy shook her head. What do you think assholes. You don't bring that many ships to say hello". She went in her bedroom and started to get ready for bed but with the sirens going off and what she saw she decided to stay up because sleeping wouldn't happen tonight. I hope Fae Land knows what is happening because that might be are only chance, she though. I hope Kendra was right what she said about Fae Land having the most powerful beings on the planet. She comes from a place where magic is everywhere. That is what we need now, magic and a miricle! 01 illustration goes here Back at Fae Land Hercules got up and looked around. Looks so peaceful here at this time in the morning, he thought. Well I suppose it is going to be another nice day he said. More than you think Hercules. They are here, said Apllonia that suddenly appeared. Okay so what do they look like, asked Hercules. Reptillian like and not that strong, said Apolloina I tried to tell the captain that they were not welcomed here and we were able to destroy them but he said, "That is what they all say before we defeat them". Then he pointed some kind of gun at me and tried to shoot me but that did nothing so I came here. Okay so how many are there? asked Hercules. One big ship and lots of small ships and I mean lots, said Apollonia. We are going to have to move fast. You make sure Fae Land stays safe and tell Alieta to get the heros here battle ready just in case. I will go get Zatsuky and Viridian plus the she devil sisters and I will be needing Rose and Banshee, Cindy will be leading them two. With this many ships they will be very handy to have. Okay how do I get a hold of Tempressa, Sara and Ivy? asked Hercules. They will be here very soon, said Apollonia. Let the battle begin and they think they are attacking just humans. Wait until they see what the power of white magic and what it can do! Then Apollonia vanished. 02 illustration goes here Over at Carman and Zutsuky's place Zatsuky saw her sword glowing bright red. Okay it must be time, thought Zatsuky and got dressed in her fighting gear. She went outside where Carmen was and told her the war has begun. Okay so you be safe, said Carmen. I wish I could help but I get it. I would just get in the way. You are never in the way, said Zatsuky. You are the best friend I have and I will make sure nothing changes that. Go to Paisley's place and bring your sword, just in case but try not to to get Sparkle worried. Hopefully no one here will know there was ever an attack. Sparkle is very special. Ya I know, said Carmen and cute as they come, said Carmen. Apollonia appeared. Oh good you are ready, said Apollonia. Yep sword is red and ready for action, said Zatsuky. Good, lets go to Granada, that will be our base, said Apollonia then they vanished. Well off to see Paisley I guess, thought Carmen. Maybe one day I will get to go to Granada. 03 illustration goes here At Ivy and Sara's home Ivy called out for Sara. What do you want? asked Sara. I was just feeding Tillia. She can eat by herself, said Ivy, They are here, I can feel them in Granada's reality. It is faint but I am sure they are bad and we have to get to the palace and see Hercules. Okay I have no problem with that, said Sara. Hercules is quite the man. Ya I know you like him but first we have a job to do, said Ivy. Okay, lets go then said Sara. He is really strong you know, even stronger than me. Ya I know silly. Come lets fly to the palace, said Ivy. Just then Apollonia appeared. Oh good you two are here, said Apollonia. Yep we were just going to fly to the palace, said Ivy. Good. I need Viridian to get ready now, said Apollonia. Okay she is inside, said Sara. Just call her. I am going to see that handsome man Hercules. You mean he is pretty right said Ivy. No Tobias is pretty, Hercules is very handsome, said Sara. Lets go Ivy. Then they flew off. That Sara has grown up fast, I suppose Hercules would be the perfect match for her though, thought Apollonia. Then she called for Viridain to come out. 04 illustration goes here Viridian came out and saw Apollonia. Hi Apollonia is it is time? Yes I already have Zatsuky in Granada waiting for you plus Avan and Tara too. Okay I will only be a minute getting changed. I will be right back and Viridian went back in the house. My that girl is tall and pretty, thought Apollonia. Viridian came back out in full gear with her spear. Okay I am ready to go, said Viridian, so you know I can go invisisble with this suit on? asked Viridian. No I didn't know that, said Apollonia. That might come in useful. Yep I figured that, said Viridian. Well I have a few more people to get in ready mode but I will be right back, said Apollinia. Dont move. Okay but will I be going to Granada? Yep you will in a few moments, said Apollonia then vanished but reappeared in a couple of minutes. Okay time to go to Granada, said Apollonia, I had to get Banshee and Rose though Rose looks a bit nervous but I am sure she will do just fine, said Apollonia. Ao lets go and we will tell you all the plan. Whi is we? asked Virdian. Cindy is helping to teleport everyone around, said Apollonia. Okay lets go save the world then teleported the two of them to Granada. 05 illustration goes here Back at the palace Alieta came out to see what the day was going to be like but saw Hercules with his club standing and looking at her. So how did you sleep out here? asked Alieta. Very peacefully, said Hercules. Best sleep I have had in years. So you should know the war has started. What all ready? asked Alieta. Yep but Apollonia has been here and she took Rose and Banshee with her plus a few more girls I think, said Hercules. So there is some kind of world war going on now but I don't hear anything, said Alieta. Well neith do I but Ivy and Sara on their way here, so talk to Ivy, she is the one that can sense stuff, said Hercules. All will be good anyways! You are talking about my dearest friends, said Alieta. And they will always be, said Hercules. Don't worry, we have this covered. That is what I keep hearing. How am I not to worry? asked Alieta. Beats me but Apllononia has everything under control and Cindy is there too, said Hercules. Then Sara and Ivy flew down. Hi Alieta we are here and ready. So what are you up to? asked Sara to Hercules. Sara is such a nut, said Ivy. She siad Hercules is very handsome but Tobias is very pretty. Alieta shook her head wondering why she was the only person concerned about this attack. Ivy Hercules says the war has started, can you sense anything ? asked Alieta. Yep but it hasn't begun yet, they are just here, said Ivy. Look up there and you will see something that looks like a star but you can't see stars during the day. Alieta looked up and saw what Ivy was pointing at. Okay Sara, take Hercules to the grassy plains. That is where most of the portals have appeared. Okay, said Sara and she flew up a bit. Just gab my legs, said Sara. Gladly and very nice legs they are, said Hercules. Then Sara flew off with Hercules. Are you okay? asked Ivy to Alieta. No I am very scared right now. Why arn't you? asked Alieta. 06 illustration goes here Ivy walked up to Alieta very close. I am very scared, said Ivy. I have never been this scared before but I have to look good for Sara and believe in what our friends can do to stop this all from happening. Sars needs to see that I am not afraid, that way she will be okay knowing everything is in control. So is everything in control? asked Alieta. I don't know but I am not going to stand around here and let some beings from another flipping planet take Fae Land and the rest of the world from me, said Ivy. I have faith in everyone and you should too. I would feel much better if you came with me though. You are the best warrior of everyone here and the smartest. Alieta smiled. You really think so? Definately, you are the queen so get ready and meet me at the grassy plains. I have to go get Tempressa. With you helping there is no way we will lose. Then Ivy flew off. That Ivy is one smart cookie, said Gabriel that appeared out of thin air again. 07 illustration goes here She is right you know and she is very scared but with you with her she will feel safer, said Gabriel. That girl looks up to you and pretty much everything she does here is for you. Really, I thought she was doing everything for Fae Land, said Alieta. Well that too but to her you are Fae Land. That girl loves you so much and what you do here. She will do anything you ask her to do without question. She trusts you, said Gabriel. But I rarely ask her to do anything for me, said Alieta. You don't have to ask, dear, said Gabriel. She does it for you because you are her queen and like a mother to her. She has no parrents now so she adopted you as her mother. Ivy is loved by everyone here. She loves Fae Land so much she would die for it. she was also correct when she said you are the best warrior here. You led a group of sprites armed with bow and arrows and managed to defeat all enemies and make Fae Land the most powerful land around. You didn't need heros with magic weapons or Avan and Tara plus the other powerful beings. Yes that is true but we did need Banshee when the orcs and creatures attacked and then sthe she devils and demons, said Alieta. Yes you did but this enemy is not them, they are weak, and not that bright beings with no magic skills. Now go get your gear on and make sure that nothing bad happens to Ivy and Sara. Those two are some of God's favorites. Make us proud once again Alieta. Then Gabriel vanished. 08 illustration goes here Alieta ran into the palace just as Ginger was coming out. Can't talk now Ginger, got a war to fight. Ginger smiled. Okay good, Alieta is going to help but what war I don't see anything going on. Just then a weird image appeared on the palace grounds but vanished fast. Okay so something is happening, said Ginger. Alieta ran out in her full war gear. Got to go Ginger. You take care of things here, said Alieta then flew off. Now that is the Alieta I remembered from a long time ago, thought Ginger. But what is going on she wondered. Ginger called down a sprite from above. Yes Ginger, what's up? asked the sprite. Alieta put me in charge and she said there is a war she needs to fight, said Ginger. But there is no reports of anything going in Fae Land. Well if Alieta is in full geat and armed then yes there is somewhere, said Ginger. This is an official call to arms to all the winged army and I want them in the air right away flying over all of Fae Land. You can do a call to arms? asked the sprite. I just did now tell Jazmen and get those sprites in the air said Ginger with a firm voice. Hkay boss, consider it dine, said the sprite then flew off fast. Hmm, I kind of like this being in charge thing, thought Ginger. Then ran into the palace. Alieta flew over to the grassy plains and saw Ivy, Sara, Hercules and Tempressa on the ground so she flew down to Ivy. Okay I am ready, said Alieta. Where do you need me. Wow, that is what I am talking about Alieta, man you look amazing, said Ivy. Thank you it's been a while since I wore this outfit but it still fits, said Alieta. So is there anything going on? Ya but stay low and look over there. You take charge now okay, said Ivy. Ya okay, said Alieta and saw what looked like some kind of a space craft not far away then another appeared out of nowhere. 09 illustration goes here Okay lets get behind those rocks over there, said Alieta.They all went behind a group if large boulders and watched as something came out of the two ships. Wow they has no clothes on, said Sara. Looks really ugly too. Looks like they are carring some kind of weapon, said Alieta. Everyone stay down and lets see what he does before freezing them. Just then a portal opened up not far from the two ships and a number of alien troops started walking out of it. About thirty came out of the portal then it closed. Okay this complicates things some, said Alieta then raised her bow and arrow and got ready to shoot. Just then arrows were flying down from the sky hitting and killing the alien ground troops. It happened so fast the two aliens that came out of the ships were unawaye of what just happened. ALieta looked up and saw about a hundred sprites in the sky. Well something must of scared Ginger when I left her in charge, said Alieta. Only a call to arms will bring out that many armed sprites. Ginger can do that? asked Tempressa. Well she did and it's a good thing or we would definately be in big trouble right now, said Alieta. The two aliens looked around then walked a bit away from the ships some. I have an idea, said Ivy. What is that? asked Alieta. Well I can read them a bit from here but it is all wierd and mixed up but they do have souls, said Ivy. If I go invisible and also translucent then I can sneak up to them and grab those weapons. Then I can go visible to him but stay translucent and get a good read and see if they has any other powers. Hmm, well Gabriel already told me they have no magic skills so why dont you take Tempressa up high and fat when they are not looking over here then fly over them then come down fast and both of you grab their weapons, said Alieta. Temp can freeze it's hand so ot can't fire that weapon before she grabs it. Sounds good to me, said Tempressa. Either that or I just freeze the two of them solid. I got a bad feeling about those two, said Tempressa. Hercules smiled. You sound like a true warrior but I think Alieta's idea is better to start with, said Hercules. Ya I know, said Tempressa but we have to do it fast, we don't want anyone to see them or those two ships. Okay Ivy, your up, said Alieta. Do your thing and be careful. Ivy went translucent and invisible then grabbed Tempressa and flew up high out of sight then came down behind the two space ships. 10 illustration goes here Chapter 2 Aliens In Fae Land Okay can you read them better now, whispered Tempressa. Ya a bit better, they ear not very strong, said Ivy. A bit weaker than humans. Lets got out fast and grab those weapons from them. Then what, we don't know how they work, said Tempressa. Just fake it until I get a good read off of one, said Ivy. Just point it at them. If he comes at you use it like Hercules club or freeze him. Ya I think I will freeze him said Tempressa, Those weapons look powerful. Tempressa ran out fast and grabbed the weapon from the alien and pointed them at him and he just stood there looking at her. Ivy did the same but she was invisible. Ivy began to read the one she grabbed the weapon from very deep while invisible. When she found out all she needed to know about him she flew up a bit out of his reached. The alien saw no one except for his weapon floating in the air above him. Ivy became visible to him then flew down and had the weapon pointed right at him. He went to grab it back from her but Ivy yelled, "Don't move Garp or a blow a hole in you". The Alien stopped dead in his tracks and stood still and said something in an alien language. Put your finger on the first trigger Tempressa but don't squeeze it, that fires the weapon. Tempressa smiled and did as Ivy said then pointed the weapon at his head. Speak english, said Ivy. I read you and you can speak it very good. Your not much of anything without your weapon are you. Should we go help them now? asked Sara. No wait and see what they do next, said Alieta. Ivy is in control now. What kind of creature are you? asked Garp. You are not like the creatures we have seen on this planet. I am not a creature, said Ivy. I am a forest sprite and a very powerful one. You can read minds and that is all. Stop trying to read mine though, your brain is too weak and I have you blocked. Why are you here in Fae Land? Ivy then waved the others over. This is what you call this place? asked Garp. I was just flying over the west countryside of a country as a scout and suddenly I just appeared here. Ya me too, said the other alien. How did you do that? Lets just say it was magic, said Ivy. You are in a very magical place now. There is no such thing as magic woman, said Garp. So you two don't believe in magic, Tempressa will show you some magic. 11 illustration goes here Do you want me to freeze these aliens? asked Tempressa. Just their feet to the ground, said Ivy. That way they can't go anywhere. He says there is no such thing as magic even though he saw I could go invisible. He is reptillian and cold blooded so those feet will thaw out back to normal. Okay, how did you know that? asked Tempressa. Alexa told me, we talked a lot when we were working on the solar cells together. Oh that figures then, said Tempressa. Okay move back Ivy just incase there is some flash back. So you don't believe in magic, why is that? Magic is everywhere. Magic is for children to believe in, said Garp. Just trickery. Well then watch this trick then, said Tempressa and she pointed her her left finger at his feet and froze both of them solid to the ground then did the same to the other aliens. Ahh, that is impossible. You must have some kind of freeze gun, said Garp. Nope just my finger, said Tempressa. Do you want me to show you again? No please don't. I can't move, said Garth. Well best you stay still, said Ivy. If you try and move your feet will crack and break up onto pieces. Okay I won't move, are you sure they will thaw out back to normal? asked Garp. Yep, Alexa is never wrong and the smartest person in the world, said Ivy. So Alieta ask them what ever you want, they are not going anywhere until their feet thaw out. This one name is Garth and that other one is Jabber. 12 illustration goes here Why did you get Tempressa to freeze his feet? asked Alieta. He didn't believe in magic so I got Tempressa to show him some magic, said Ivy. She was happy to show him. I bet she was, said Alieta. So will he be okay? Yep, cold blooded so they will thaw good as new, said Ivy. Anyways they are kinds stupid beings. They think just because they are taller than us they will be abole to overpower Tempressa and me and get their weapons back. Heck Sakura could probably beat them. So what did you find out about him? asked Alieta. Well his name is Garp and he is a low ranking soldier and without this big weapon he is pretty harmless, said Ivy. Very weak and fragile. Not that smart either. Really but look at the ship he was in. You have to be smart to come up with that, said Alieta. Well they stole the technology from another race that lived on their planet. Seems there were two breeds of reptile people living there and once they had the technology they had to leave the planet fast seeing the smarter and much stronger breed were going to kill them all. So now they travel in space looking for planets that have air they can breath and resources to make more ships. I think they have been doing this for a very long time. Okay so Gabriel told me they had thousands of ships now, said Alieta. Probably but they are very weird when it comes to reproducing, said Ivy. Really, how is that? asked Alieta. Well the female lays lots of eggs instead of giving birth like we do. They lay the eggs and leave them to hatch. No families or love involed at all. Very odd society in my opinion. Anyways go talk to him, like I said he can't move right now and even if he could you could snap him in half. Okay but it seems you found out all that is needed to know, said Alieta. Well ask one of them what is going on in Granada's reality then, said Ivy. When I read him I went deep and didn't bother with recent stuff. He knows your the queen so act like one and not so nice like you really are. Like I said he isn't that smart and will respond to a higher authority. Okay so be a mean queen then, said Alieta. Well more like bossy. Don't give him a chance to say no or not answer. Your really smart, so figure it out, said Ivy. Okay so off I go to drill these guys and Alieta walked over to them. 13 illustration goes here Hi Alieta, these guya are so boring, said Tempressa. I asked them if they knew any jokes and they didn't know what a joke was. Asked them if they had any kids and just said lots. Man what a wierd race. Anyways their feet begining to thaw so they might be a bit sore right now. Now don't try anything with our queen or I will freeze you solid and Hercules over there will smash you up with that big club of his. We won't touch your queen I am not a high enough level to attack her, said Garp. Okay then what ever that means, have fun Alieta, said Tempressa. Then she walked away. That girl talks a lot, said Garp. Oh she is nothing compaired to some of the girls we have here, said Alieta. Now I have some simple questions for you. Are you willing to answer them? I will try but I have limited knowlege about things, said Garp. Okay so first how was the war doing before you got here? asked Alieta. That I know. Before I got here I was with a squad of fighters, maybe sixty of us. I watched as this one girl that was flying high in front of us some how with no wings, send out some kind of energy charge at us. All the front ships went crashing down to the ground right away except for a few of us that were at the back. I flew off straight up but saw she also sent out beams at the other ships and blew them out of the sky. What kind of weapon did she have? asked Garp. That must of been Banshee. That was magic and not a weapon. The death wave probably killed all the people flying the ships so they crashed and the death ray she uses for desroying one or two targets at a time. Really, more magic. We didn't know there was such a person like that among the humans. Well she is from Fae Land, said Alieta. Okay so maybe those other girls are from here two, said Garp. Keep talking, what other girls? asked Alieta. On my radio I heard reports that hundreds of ships were being distroyed big winged girls. So fast our ships never had a chance even to fire at them. Reports were coming in from all over the planet that ships were being distroyed by a handful of girls. The humans didn't have one aircraft in the air that was odd seeing when we scanned the planet we found thousands on the ground in certain areas of every country. Were they from here too. Yep, those are my girls, said Alieta. Avan and Tara are she devils and can't be killed plus the most powerful beings on the planet. The other two girls are from here also. They have weapons that were given the power of the heavens. Man if we knew that we would of never attacked this planet. A few of us were sent out to scout for remote areas to regoup and make bases. That is when that bright light hit us and we ended up here. My engines all shut down and I had to land fast. I really didn't want to be here but it seems safer than the other place I was except for the ice girl and the invisible girl with the green hair. Okay so you came through a portal, said Alieta. It is bi-directional between Granada and here. Just then Garp's radio came on. Everyone retreat if you can fast as you can then it went dead again. Looks like we lost, said Garp. We have never lost a war with a planet before and so fast. Ivy yelled at Alieta. "Look way up, do you see them all". Alieta and thei two aliens looked up and they could see hundreds of ships leaving the earth's atmosphere. Can we go now please? asked Garp. Yes go and never come back, said Alieta. Don't worry about that, said Garp. They both wiggled their feet and broke free of the ground and got in their ships and Alieta stood back as they fired up the engines and took off to the sky. 14 illustration goes here Ivy walked over to Alieta and asked is that it? Are they all leaving for good? Yep sure looks like it, said Alieta. Our girls gave them a beating they will never forget. And neither will the rest of the world, said Gabriel that appeared out of thin air as usual. Hi Gabriel, they are gone for good right? asked Ivy. Oh yes, they will never be back here again, said Gabriel. Now we are not finished with them yet. God gave Quazar permission to relocate their entire population to a new vacant planet far far away from here. All the planets they took over will be rid of them and free again. Quazar will probably destroy all their space crafts too but that is up to him. So did you help the girls move around, asked Alieta. Nope not me, that was Cindy and Apollonia's job. Mother Nature help out some too to speed things up, said Gabriel. I stayed here and watched what was going on with the two aliens after the winged army wiped out the ground troops that weren't suppose to be her but portals can be unpredictable at times. You should thank Ginger for that. Ivy and Tempressa went up and beyond the call of duty and disarmed the two aliens. Tempressa froze their feet so they couldn't move and you Alieta interrigated them like the good queen you are. You all made us proud in heaven. Ya but Hercules and Sara didn't have to do anything, said Ivy. I told Zeus to send Hercules to Fae Land to help defend it if needed but really we wanted him here for other reasons. He has fought enough battles for good and has earned his way into Fae Land. Well Sara likes Hercules, said Ivy. Sara is very young and finds Hercules fasinating but she will lose interest in him over time and Hercules has someone rlse coming here very soon thatyou all will enjoy. Those two will stay friends though but Sara's biggest live is her sister that showed her how smart and brave she was today. Now Cindy will be by later and report to you Alieta. Okay so when are my girls coming back? asked Alieta. Cindy will let you know. She can teleport them just like me. Anyways I am off so Alieta get changed before anyone see's you Ivy and put those guns in the armory. So far no one here has seen anything. What about all the dead alien bodies over there? asked Alieta. What dead bodies, said Gabriel then vanished. Both Ivy and Alieta looked over where they were but not a sign of them could be seen. Okay you take that weapons and hide it in the armory, said Alieta. There is a chest at the very back where I kept the gears that I gave to Viridian a long tome ago. It has a pad lock on it so lock it up and hide the key in there also. I will fly to my room and get changed, said Alieta. Ivy took the weapon from Tempressa then they both flew off. Tempressa looked at Hercules and Sara still chatting away. Well best leave them two alone, she thought. I am going to go see Ktara and find out what she has cooking. Then Tempressa walked away. 15 illustration goes here Sara look around and saw no one around. Hey where did everyone go? asked Sara. Not sure, said Hercules. Maybe the war is over already. I guess so, why didn't anyone tell us anything? asked Sara. I bet they all went to the palace. So what do you want to do now? Beats me, what do you all do in Fae Land? asked Hercules. Lots of stuff, said Sara. I know, lets go to my place and you can meet Tillia. Then I will see if there is anything in the ice box to eat. Are you hungry? I am always hungy Sara, said Hercules. Ya me too, lets go, said Sara. Grab your club over there and lets walk to my place. It is not far from here. Then you can tell me another story. Okay I have a good one when the Romans tried to kill me but that could never happen. Who are the Romans? asked Sara. A bunch of people that used poor people to duild and do things for them as slaves. No way the could hurt me though especially with my companion, said Hercules. You have a companion too? asked Sara. Well more like a very good friend, said Hercules. You will meet him soon. Then the two of them headed back to Sara's home. 16 illustration goes here Chapter 3 Back To Normal Back at the palace Ginger was kneeling on the ground looking at a few piles of gold bars as both Alieta and Ivy flew over her and past her then went into the palace fast as for no one to see them. Look at all this gold those two girls have. Every bar is ninety nine percent pure and each bar has a stamp on them saying weight and some logo. Well this is going to take some time for the treasurer to make coins out of them. Wait until Alieta see's all of this. I wonder how that war thing she was talking about is going, I haven't seen anything war like going on anywhere around here. Just seems like a nice peaceful day, none of the elves have said anything to me and I haven't heard anything back from the sprites I called to arms. Maybe I shouldn't of done that. Well O am leaving this gold here until Alieta sees it. I am sure she is going to have some questions about it. 17 illustration goes here Ivy came out of the palace and said hi to Ginger. Got to go to work, said Ivy. Talk to you later then she flew off. When did she go in the palace. I never saw her go in and I have been out here for a while. A minute later Alieta came out and walked over to Ginger. There you are, I didn't see you go back into the palace? asked Ginger. Actually I just got here and had to change, said Alieta. I didn't want anyone to see me dressed in my war ready outfit. Okay so how did it go? asked Ginger. It was nice and quite around here. Well not so much on the grassy plains, said Alieta First two aliens appeared in spce ships first that must of come through a portal but shortly after that a large number of alien ground troops came through another portal but tons of sprites took care of them right away. Ginger stood up fast. So it was good that I ordered a call to arms then? asked Ginger. Yep it sure was and may of saved out lives and any other people that may of come by, said Alieta. You did very good, said Alieta. Giid I was beginning to think I made a mistake so did you kille the two in space ships? asked Ginger. No didn't have to, said Alieta. Actually Ivy and Tempressa took care of them mostly and took thier weapons away from them. Ya Ivy came out of the palace a minute ago and said she had to go to work then flew off, said Ginger. Ya I told her to put the weapons in the armory inside that chest at the back and lock it up. Later you go in there and make sure she hid it good enough but be careful if you see it. The two weapons in it are nothing like we have ever seen before, said Alieta. Okay so I guess that is where everyone is. Rose is missing and the two shemales haven't come out of the woods yet, said Ginger. So are we winning? War is already over, said Alieta. We won big time. Those aliens heard on thier radios that everyone was retreating so I let them get back in the space ships and fly away. Wow that was fast, said Ginger. Yep our girls put a big hurt on them, said Alieta. Cindy is going to come by later and let me know the details and when they will be back. So what is going on here? Where is all the gold from? Repellia and Phonixa have been bringing a few bars each at a time from Kandice and Karman's place for the past hour, said Ginger. They said there is a couple more piles and a few more big ones left. So does the treasurer know what is going on? asked Alieta. No I wanted you to see them first and figured I should wait until it is all here then her come out and figure how much it is worth. It will take her a while to melt down each bar and make coins from it all, said Ginger. What are those two nuts going to do with so much money? asked Alieta. Beats me but the sisters are sure having fun with them since they got back. Between the four of them they will figure something out. Ya I guess so, said Alieta. Next time you see either of them tell them I want to talk to Kandice and Karman. Okay, they should be back with another load of gold soon, said Ginger. Okay I am going to tell Jazmen the war is over and let everyone go back to just on alert again, said Alieta. 18 illustration goes here The next time Repellia and Phonixa came back with more gold, Ginger told them that Alieta wanted to talk to Kandice and Karman. Okay but there is still some more gold but we are going to take a break, said Phonixa. These bars are heavy. Then they rode off. Okay I am going in to get the treasurer, said Ginger. Guard the gold for me, said Ginger to an elf near by. Guard it from who? asked the elf. No one will steal it sitting in frint of the palace. I know, I was just kidding, said Ginger then went in the palace. Alieta came back after talking to Jazmen and saw Phonixa and Repellia riding back with Kandice and Karman. Okay thanks girls, said Kandice. Make sure you buy some ice cream, said Karman. They jumped off the back of Repellia and Phonixa's horses then the four of them made another pile of gold bars the the twin rode away. Hi Alieta, we still got more gold to bring but this is most of it, said Kandice. Yep two big bars and another pile of small bars, said Karman. Repellia and Phonixa are the best helping us but they needed a break, said Kandice. Ya so we gave them some money to buy some grocieries for us, said Karman. Yep they are the best at shopping for stuff, said Kandice. They got us to buy these two outfits and man we love them, said Karman. Yep we look sexy like them now and not like all the rest of the elves here, said Kandice. They were gone for a while so we waited for them to come back before going shopping for clothes again, said Karman. So what did you want to talk to us about? asked Kandice. Alieta smiled and remembered how these two talked back and forth and quite fast like pixies. Well I need to know what you want me to do with all this gold for one, said Alieta. Put it in your treasury like you did with the first bar we gave you and make coins, said Karman. Well that is going to be a lot of coins, said Alieta. We know but we don't need them all at once, said Kandice. Nope we will just come and get more when we run out but we still have a bunch left from last time, said Karman. Okay, we can work something out that way, said Alieta. Now with that much money, have you got any plans as what to do with it all? Well we are working on that, said Kandice. Repellia and Phonixa has some ideas of starting a business with us but we haven't figured out what kind yet, said Karman. Repellia thought maybe a clothing store but there is already a bunch of them already. Then Phonixa thought of an eatery but none of us are very good cooks so that won't work either, said Kandice. Do you have an idea for us? asked Karman. Not sure at this time but let me talk to Yeanny, said Alieta. She is thinking of building a college or university in Fae Land so the kids here don't have to travel to Cumberland or outside of Fae Land to continue their schooling. That sounds like a very good idea, said Kandice. I don't think we have enough money to build something that big though, said Karman. No Yeanny is extremely wealthy and will pay for the construction of the school, said Alieta. You two can take care of the business end of it like book sales and uniform sales. Stuff like that. You two hang around the grounds here and after I talk to Cindy I will go get Yeanny. Who is Cindy? asked Kandice. That angel over there, said Alieta. Wow a real angel! they both said at the same time. Alieta smiled then walked over to Cindy. 19 illustration goes here Hi Alieta, I didn't want to bother you while you were talking to Kandice and Karman. Arn't they adorable sisters. Sisiters, they didn't say they were sisters, said Alieta. Oh yes, twin sisters actually. Funniest elfs you will ever meet, said Cindy. Really, they told me they were slaves in a human gold mine and mint and not sisters, said Alieta. Well yes they were but it was their mother that led the rebellion against the humans and as you know elves are much stronger and smarter than humans. They soon won and they took off with a wagon of gold. So what happened to their mother? asked Alieta. She is here in Fae Land too. You just haven't met her yet. They haven't been here for very long. Her name is Angela, quite pretty as elves usually are. Wow, the things I learn when I talk to an angel, said Alieta. Those two said she died while trying to save them from something and they were just best friends. So why did they say they were not sisters to me. They sure looked liked it. Well back when they were slaves, the humans found out they were mother and daughters so they broke them up as to not let them plan against them. That was when the mother had enough and formed the rebellion. God smiled on the three of them and guided them to Fae Land and provided everything they needed for the trip and kept them safe. So how old are they? asked Alieta. Well the mother is pretty old but those two can't be more than twenty years old, said Cindy. Okay so that actually makes sense to me now, said Alieta. Repellia and Phonixa befriended them as soon as they met them. Yep as expected, said Cindy. Even while they were in Granada having fun they really missed these two knew friends they had. Other than becoming home sick they really wanted to go see the two of them more than anything. The four of them will make a good team, you will see. The mother didn't want them known as sisters and rarely leaves the house. She is still unsure about being here and didn't want her two girls separated again. Now back to the War information. Yes please tell. Gabriel told me we won big time, said Alieta. Oh yes and it was amazing to see. I never had the chance to see your girls in action before, said Cindy. Mother Nature took Zatsuky and I took Viridian. Apollonia took care of most of Europe seeing she was familar with it. That girl Viridian has power and can go invisible. When she spun with that spear, it wiped out everything in seconds then I would fly her to another main city ready to be attack. Banshee was a one girl army wiping out hundreds of ships at a time and could fly fast like you Alieta. She knew exactly where to go on her own. Tara and Avan broke up into different hemisphere's and just turned hundreds of ships into dust. There was one girl that I didn't know though named Rose. That girl has some major fire power. Almost as much as the two she devils. She would let out a huge energy burst that would engulf at least two hundred ships at once and explode them. She worked alone too teleporting all over the place. Later she told me she was Quazar's daughter. In about three hours that team of six girls and one angel had the enemy retreating back out to space. Fastest war ever on record of any kind and not one human got killed. Be proud Alieta. They did it for you and Fae Land. Alieta got tears in her eyes. When will my girls be back? she asked. Well Rose will be back soon. She wants to come back because her friends and really doesn't like the modern world in that reality. The other girls will be a few days yet. They are world heros now and every big country wants to meet them and give them medals. That world has been having wars over stupid things like land and religion for centuries. The Fae Land girls just united the entire world of nations and now there is a new holiday that every country will honor. What to hear what they are calling it? asked Cindy with a smile. Yes of coarse I do silly, said Alieta that was still crying. They call it "World Fae Land Day", said Cindy. Your kidding. A holiday named after Fae Land, said Alieta. Yep a world holiday and anyone from Fae Land is welcomed to visit anytime but I need to go back and get Rose, said Cindy. Kendra did a very good job discribing Fae Land and the people that lived here when she was there so the when the girls appeared to defend their world newsrooms all over the world had camera crews on the ground broadcasting them wiping out the enemy like they were nothing. Anyways I will be back with Rose first. She misses her friends here a lot plus you too. Then Cindy vanished. 20 illustration goes here Fairly quckly, Cindy came back with Rose. Here she is Alieta. Your amazing beautiful Rose, said Cindy. Okay got to go get back to that Granada newsroom. Then Cindy Vanished. Hi Alieta, it is so good to be home again. Not much magic there in that world, said Rose. Let me shake your hand Rose. You are one very special girl. Rose put ot her hand and Alieta grabbed her hand and shook it. You should of stayed there with the others. They all want to thank you and give you medals. Your a world hero now. No not for me. I just did what I had to do and needed to come back here, said Rose. Well you really impressed Cindy. She said you have some very powerful energy in you and wiped out a lot of aliens. Ya well at first when I saw them coming towards me I was scared but then my dad talked to me in my head. He said feel the power inside and let ot out with all you got. I felt it grow in me then pow, I let it out of both my hands and destroyed everything in sight. It felt good and I wasn't scared anymore. It eneded up being fun knowing I was doing it for you and Fae Land. No way a bunch of aliens were going to take away the new home I had here. Did Cindy say I am beautiful? Yes she did and you are so very beautiful, said Alieta. When an angel that important says you are beautiful then believe it. Rose smiled, okay but I think Repellia and Phonixa are prettier than me still. Think what you want but each person is different and they don't consider themselves beautiful just like you think, just pretty and sexy of coarse. Ya they are that, said Rose. So is Miyo around, I really want to see her and tell her what I did. I think she is in the palace, said Alieta. Go in and find her then treat yourself and have something to eat. You must be hungry. Ya I am starved Alieta. Thanks and never change, You are best, said Rose then ran inside the palace. 21 illustration goes here Alieta walked back over to where Karman and Kandice were still standing. Hi Alieta, the treasurer was here and added up what was here so far and now Ginger and a couple of elves are bringing the gold in a few bars at a time each, said Kandice. So what did the angle say to you? asked Karman. We saw you crying so was it bad? asked Kandice. No actually it was very very happy news, said Alieta. Sometimes I cry a bit when I am that happy. Oh our mom does that, I mean a good friend of ours does that when she is happy, said Karman. Never mind you two, Cindy told me all about how you two are twin sisters and your mother is here too, said Alieta. Oh okay but we didn't know what the people were like here when we first got to Fae Land and we didn't want to be separated again, said Kandice. We would never separate a family here, said Alieta. So does your mother live with you two? No she bought her own house from an elf not far from us, said Karman. We are old enough to be on our own now. So can you two go and see if she would come and talk to me, said Alieta. She is a hero in my eyes for leading the rebellion that freed all those elves. Okay, she wanted to meet you too but figured you were too busy to be bothered by her, said Kandice plus she doesn't go out much, said Kandice. Come lets go get her Karman. Would you like to borrow one of my horses? asked Alieta. No we don't know how to ride one, said Kandice. We will run. And off they ran. Funny and adorable is right Cindy, thought Alieta. 22 illustration goes here In Granada, at the news station Joanne was still broadcasting live on all international networks this time. Suddenly Cindy appeared and looked right into the camera. Hello everyone in TV land. My name is Cindy and I would like to thank everyone in Granada for taking such good care of the girls that visited here and treated them well in Granada. Now if anyone needs a new born baby blessed then just ask for an angel to come bless him or her for you. There are lots of angels everywhere and not all have wings like me. So once again thankyou all. Just a minute, said Joanne. Can I talk to you before you leave? You sure can dear, angels love listening to people, said Cindy. Okay but I have to keep the camers running until we finish up here, said Joanne. Is that okay? If it is okay with you it is fine with me, angels have no secrets, said Cindy. 23 illustration goes here Joanne walked around to the front of the desk beside Cindy. You said angels are everywhere but how come when I pray for one, a angel never comes? asked Joanne. Well first of all a person has to be deserving and not just asking to win a lottery or wanting a better life without you doing anything yourself first and you have to have a good soul but you have had several visits from more than one angel, said Cindy. Really, when? asked Joanne. Once when you were ten and got your foot caught in that train track gadget while a train was coming, a man came and freed your foot for you that seemed to come out of nowhere. You also saw him again when you were thirteen and needed to find your way home in the dark and was lost. Do you remember now? Yes he walked with me all the way to my house then waved goodbye. It was odd he knew where I lived though, come to think of it now. That was the same man. Yep sure was, said Cindy. An angel helped you to stay focus on your studies. That was Angel Angie that you thought was a school councilor but nope she was no teacher. You just think back all the times you prayed for something that was really important and you will remember someone showed up to help. You do great work here Joanne, people trust you and love how you tell the truth about the local news. You have a natural talent and you treat people as equals and you made Kendra feel very good being on TV with you. Most forest sprites stay hidden in the forest and rarely let people see them at all little on talk to them. Joanne blushed. Is there anything else dear? No I feel very good now, said Joanne. Okay everyone, bye for now and remember, angels are everywhere and were will be watching, said Cindy, then she vanished. Okay everyone you saw it here first on Granada news, said Joanne to the camera. A real angel with important messages for us all. Angels see and hear everything that is going on in the world. To all those amazing girl warriors that came to save our world from Fae Land, we all thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. Happy World Fae Land Day Everyone! 24 illustration goes here Karman and Kandice went to their Mom's house and found her in the kitchen. Oh hi girls, where are the groceries I asked you for? asked Angela. Phonixa and Repellia haven't come back from shopping yet, said Kandice. Ya we are here because Alieta wants to see you, said Karman. What the queen wants to see me, why? asked Angela. Um something about you being a hero and something else I think, said Kandice. Oh my what should I wear, I have never talked to a queen before. Well we like here and we talked to her wearing these new pretty and sexy clothes that Repellia and Phonixa picked out for us, said Karman. She is really nice, you will like her, said Kandice. Ginger is there too I think, she is getting us more gold coins from the gold bars we gave them, said Karman. Well we didn't bring them there but Phonixa and Repellia did, said Kandice. Yes they have been very helpful, said Angela. Okay let me freshen up some and I will walk over. Ikay we are going home to wait for Phonixa and Repellia to get back. They are getting us some ice cream too, said Karman. 25 illustration goes here Alieta saw Penny coming out of the palace so she called her over. Yes Alieta what can I do for you? asked Penny. Well I am going up to my sitting room but if a elf comes by can you come up and tell me please? asked Alieta. Her name is Angela and is supposed to be quite pretty. Okay will do, said Penny. Alieta went in the palace and Penny sat on the steps and watched for this mystery elf. After about ten minutes a elf on a horse rode up then jumped off the horse and walked over to Penny. Penny stood up and said hello. Hi, my name is Angela and Queen Alieta asked to see me. Wow I have never seen you before and I know everyone here, said Penny. Well my two girls and I have only been here for a few weeks, said Angela. So what are your girls names? asked Penny. Karman and Kandice. They are my twin daughters. What they are twin sisters and you are their mother. I have known them for a while but why haven't I seen you out and about. Well my girls do all the shopping for me and we came from a bad place so I am very careful, I don't go out much, said Angela. Looks like that was a mistake though seeing it is so beautiful here and my girls made new human freinds. Do you know them? Phonixa and Repellia. Of coarse I know them, everyone knows the twins and they live in the palace. Oh okay so is Queen Alieta busy? asked Angela. If she is then I can come back another time. I wasn't sure what to wear meeting a real queen for the first time but my kids said I looked fine like this. You look perfect, said Penny and drop the queen and just call her Alieta. She conciders herself an equal to everyone here. Anyways she is expecting you so stay here and I will let her know you have arrived. Okay thankyou dear. Oh my name is Penny and I work for Alieta in the kitchen and other places. Then Penny ran onto the palace fast. My such a sweet and pretty girl, thought Angela. 26 illustration goes here Penny ran into the sitting room where Alieta was sitting in her chair. Alieta, she is here and she is Karman and Kandice's mom and they are twins. Yes I know, said Alieta. I just found that out today also. Oh okay well she is not very pretty, said Penny. Really, what is wrong with her? asked Alieta. Abosolutely nothing she gorgeous, said Penny. The most beautiful elf I have ever seen. Right up there with Ivy and Mika, just more mature looking. Gorgeous long hair and green eyes plus a body to die for. Alieta smiled. Really that pretty? asked Alieta. No not pretty, beautiful, said Penny. She stays inside all the time because she is unsure of what Fae Land was like. She said something about coming from a bad place. Yes the three of them were slaves in a gold mine along with many other elves, said Alieta. Cindy told me she led a rebellion and freed all the elves from the humans. Wow, gorgeous and a hero too. So are you coming down to meet her? asked Penny. You bring her up here, said Alieta then go home. Today is a holiday. Really, how come? asked Penny. I will tell you later and tell the rest of the staff to go home too. No one works today, my orders. Alright, I will be right back with Angela the hero, said Penny. Oh she seems really nervous too. Then Penny ran out. Okay so gorgeous and a hero plus an elf mother of twins. I better stand up and fix my outfit and hair, thought Alieta. 27 illustration goes here In a minute Penny came up with Angela. Here she is Alieta. Karman and Kandice's mom, said Penny. Wow she is really pretty, said Angela quitely to Penny. Yep and really nice so go over there and meet the best queen in the world, said Penny. I got some good news to spread so see you later. Then Penny ran out. Angela slowly walked up to Alieta. My god she is gorgeous, thought Alieta. Hello Alieta, Penny told me to address you that way, is that correct? Yes it is, said Alieta. Okay so my girls said you wanted to talk to me. Did they do something wrong or get in any trouble here, said Angela. If they did I am so sorry but we are new here and don't know the laws yet. No they are just fine and perfect citizens, said Alieta. They are very delightful and always put a smile on my face. Ya they are something arn't they, said Angela. I am glad they have fitted in here so quickly. So why did you want to talk to me? Well Cindy that I am sure you haven't met yet is an angel and she told me some things about you and your history. I wanted to meet and talk to the girl that put together and led a rebellion against the humans and freed all the enslaved elves. Cindy gave me the short version but I want details. Can you do that for me, girl to girl. Angela smiled. Yes I can, said Angela. Good then have a seat and lets talk, said Alieta. 28 illustration goes here They both sat down and got comfortable. You are not anything I expected, said Angela. Really what did you expect? asked Alieta. You know a more regal look with robes and a crown and not a very pretty sprite in a sexy outfit. Penny said you consider yourself an equal to everyone here. I do but with more responsibilities and power. I prefere to have friends instead of desiples that I rule over. I don't ask much from anyone here just if they are going to build something new somewhere then they have to see Ginger my main girl and pay a small fee for the permit. Okay that is all the laws here? asked Angela. Yep but we call them rules, said Alieta. Now before you get started with your story I have a question for you. Okay what is it? asked Angela. Well as I have known it to be for centuries, when a elf gives birth to a child the mother stays with it for about fourteen to sixteen years. Then they go their own ways. Rarely an elf gets to see their mother very often but you three seem to still be a family and Cindy told me your girls are over twenty. Yes that is the way of elves but how many do you know had twins? asked Angel. Your the first actually, said Alieta. Yep and it is extremely rare also but there is a bond that was made between the three souls that can never be severed. I let my two girls live in their own home because they are mature enough now but I live very close by and we see each other and talk every day. Besides you have seen them. What mother would want to leave them and never see them again. They are so cute and funny, my heart lights up when they are around me. Alieta smiled. Okay I get it now, said Alieta. There is a magical bond that will keep you three a family forever. There is a family you should meet soon that have a similar magical bind. Yeanny and Sakura. Yeanny didn't give birth to Sakura but instead created her by accident. She is a wizard and loves Sakura very much and their souls are separate but connected at the same time if that makes sense to you. Sort of but you said created her, said Angel. Ya you can talk to Yeanny about that but Sakura met your two girls and let me tell you they are so similar and funny plus now there is Cupid's little sister living here and she is Sakura's best friend and they are exactly the same. You mean the real Cupid, the guy with the love bow and arrow. Yep that is the guy, said Alieta. Wow I am beginning too really like this place, said Angela. Fairies live here too right, I know they don't just live anywhere. Yep Fae Land is the most magical place in the world with the most remarkable people living here. So welcome to Fae Land Angela! 29 illustration goes here Chapter 4 Pegasus In Fae Land Back at Sara's place she went and woke up Tillia that was sleeping in her shelter. Wake up Tillia, I have someone I want you to meet, said Sara. Really, who is it? asked Tillia. Hercules and he is quite the man, said Sara. Hercules! said Tillia and got up fast. You mean the real Hercules with all the muscles? asked Tillia. Yep and super strong, said Sara. He is waiting for us out front. Okay, I have only heard about him but never got to meet him, said Tillia. She shook her entire body and head. How do I look, asked Tillia. You always look great, said Sara. Come on lets go. They both walked around to the front and Tillia walked wright up to Hercules. My you are a big one and look at those muscles, said Tillia. Very nice to finally meet you Hecules. Very nice to finally meet you too, said Hercules. I was told that you were beautiful and that you sure are. I always wanted to meet you but you vanaished for the longest time and even Pegasus didn't know where you were. Ya I was in limbo for a very long time, said Tillia. I missed my friend Pegasus too but now I have Sara as a companion and all is good again. Who is Pegasus? asked Sara. Oh a very beautiful white flying stallion, said Tillia. Very magical and can fly as fast as a dragon. Really a flying horse. Does he have wings or something. Yep and very big like an angel's wings sort of, said Hercules. He belongs to me now well sort of and is the only horse big and strong enough to carry me but Gabriel wouldn't let him come on this trip with me. She was afraid of his safety. So Sara, how did things go with the war. Umm not sure, said Sara. I think it is over. Once Ivy and Tempressa took the aliens weapons from them, us two started talking seeing they didn't need us for anything. Ivy seemed to have everything under. Hercules told me some of his amazing adventures. Sounds like you two like each other, said Tillia. So Hercules, where is Pegasua now? Not too far away, said Hercules. Even though Gabriel said not to go with me, he just followed me on his own. He is kinda like a pixie that way and does what he wants. More than likely he is grazing somewhere here. Your kidding, a flying horse is here in Fae Land? asked Sara. Probably, want me to call him? asked Hercules. I sure do, said Tillia. Pegasus is my kind of man we are very good friends! 30 illustration goes here Okay then you go hide behind the house Tillia Then I will call for him, said Hercules. I want him to meet Sara first then we will surprise him with you. Sara and I are hungry and she said there might be some food for us in the ice box. Okay, I already ate, said Tillia. An elf brought me a good breakfast. Then Tillia went back to the shelter again in the backyard. Okay ready, asked Hercules. Yep sure am, said Sara. Good keep your eyes to the sky. He is quite the sight to see flying and coming in for a landing, said Hercules. He put both hands up to his mouth then yelled very loud, so loud, half of Fae Land must of heard him. " Pegasus. Come Boy"! Okay now keep looking up, said Hercules. In a few moments Sara saw him flying fast towards them. Pegasus rarely flew in a straight line and swerved back and forth and even did a loop de-loop then came in for a landing. Stand back Sara and give him room. Those wings are very big and stretched out when he is landing, said Hercules. In a few more moments Pegasus landed and walked up to Hercules. You called big guy? asked Pegasus. Hope it is important, I was enjoying some of that nice green grass way out there. 31 illustration goes here Hi Pegasus, yes this is important I would like you to meet a very good friend of mine. Her name is Sara and is quite the girl, said Hercules. Wow isn't she a pretty one, said Pegasus. What is she? I am a forest sprite, said Sara. My you are magnifcent looking and nice flying too. Well thank you Sara, said Pegasus. I like her big guy, she said I looked magnificent, you just say I am a handsome winged horse. Sara giggled. So Sara I see you have big wings so I take it you can fly pretty fast too, said Pegasus. Yep and very fast over long distances, said Sara. Well we should go flying together soon. I love flying much more than running. So Hercules, why did Gabriel not want me to take you to this place. It seems harmless enough, said Pegasus. Well there was a war going on but it is over now, said Hercules. It was advanced beings from another planet that had space ships armed with deadly weapons. I suppose she didn't want you to get hurt. An alien attack, how odd. So did you win? asked Pegasus. Well the war was in a parallel reality but a bad outcome would effect this land too but seems like the heros from Fae Land that were sent to fight won. Heros from Fae Land, is this is what this place is called? asked Pegasus. Yep Fae Land is the most magical place on the planet, said Sara. Really, well one thing I know for sure. It has the best tasting grass I have ever eaten, said Pegasus. So Pegasus, Sara and I are going in the house to get something to eat but I have a surprise for you and I am sure you will like it, said Hercules. Okay, I like good surprises, said Pegasus. Sara ran around to the back of the house and told Tillia Pegasus was here. Wow he is amazing, said Sara. Ya he is something else, said Tillia. We used to hang out together before Hercules was with him. Quite the free soul, said Tillia. Well after you two chat and catch up some, take him to meet Alieta. It is the rule when someone new and special is in Fae Land, said Sara. Well it is more Ivy's rule but I am sure everyone there would like to see you two. Okay will do Sara, said Tillia. Sara then ran around to the front of the house and they both went in but Hercules had to duck down quite a bit to get in. 32 illustration goes here Tillia came around the front of the house and walked up to Pegasus. Tillia! You live in this Fae Land now? asked Pegasus. Yes and I love it here, said Tillia. So who is is your companion now? asked Pegasus. Sara is and we are amazing together. She is very smart and extremely strong, said Tillia. Really a sprite for a companion. That is a first, said Pegasus. So with her riding you how fast can you run now? asked Pegasus. Well so far we went faster than the speed of sound but we might be able to go faster but why, that is fast enough, said Tillia. With her on me my magic is very strong. Wow that is fast, said Pegasus. After you disapeared I asked some other unicorns if they knew where you were. They said you were in a place called limbo. Ya I was there for a very long time, said Tillia. Not anymore and I am not planning to ever end up there again. As long as Sara stays alive I will be with her and sprites are everlasting like you and me. Well that is great news, said Pegasus. I really missed you a lot. It was Hercules that cheered me up when we met after Olympus fell. We have been a team ever since. So Pegasus, Sara told me that it is a rule for anyone new and special coming to Fae Land must meet and talk to Alieta, said Tillia. Who is Alieta? asked Pegasus. The queen of Fae Land. She is a wonderful person and very kind. Extremely pretty sprite too, said Tillia. Okay I guess I have to then, said Pegasus. When should I go? Now with me, said Tillia. Just fly over that mountian to the south and you will see a big building. That is her palace. Lots of amazing people live in that palace and will love to meet you. Okay but what about Hercules? asked Pegasus. Oh leave those two alone, we don't need them. Lets go, race you there. Then Tillia took off like a flash. Race you? Your probably already there, said Pegasus. Pegasus took flight and headed towards the palace. 33 illustration goes here Tillia got to the palace first as expected and saw Penny coming out of the palace. Hi Tillia, how are you? asked Penny. Wonderful, just wonderful, said Tillia. Well that is nice to hear, where is Sara? She is with Hercules at her place having something to eat but can you get Alieta for me. I need to talk to her and meet my friend. Okay but what friend? asked Penny. Tillia saw Pegasus coming over the mountain. Here he comes now, said Tillia. Look up. Penny looked up and saw Pegasus flying in fast. What, Is that a flying horse? asked Penny. Yep, he sure loves flying and is really good at it, said Tillia. Pegasus saw Tillia in front of the palace and came in for a landing. Okay I am here. Man you can run girl, said Pegasus. Who is your cute friend? This is Penny and she is going to get Alieta for us, said Tillia. She is one of Alieta's top elves. Well nice to meet you Penny. Wow, your beautiful, said Penny. Very big and beautiful. I'll go get Alieta, she is not going to believe this. Then Penny ran back into the palace. I like her too, said Pegasus. She said I am beautiful. Well you are and many more things, said Tillia. So have you met a queen before? Yep, kings, queens, you see one you have seen them all, said Pegasus. Well Alieta is not like any queen you have met before, said Tillia. Everyone here loves her and she loves everyone in return. Very smart and very kind to everyone also. Okay so not your everyday kind of queen then, said Pegasus. Not at all, said Tillia. You will see. She is very special. 34 illustration goes here Penny ran into the sitting room just as Alieta and Angela were getting ready to leave. Alieta, Alieta Tillia is outside and she wants to talk to you, said Penny. Okay so why are you so excited? asked Alieta. You have seen Tillia many times. She brought a friend that she wants you to meet and wow what a friend, said Penny. Okay so she has a friend, who is it? asked Alieta. Well I don't know his name but he is white and has wings plus big, said Penny. Okay so she has new man friend that has wings like a lot of us here, said Alieta. Not a man, a horse and a very beautiful one. You should see him fly. No way, it cain't be, said Alieta. What Alieta, can't be what? asked Angela. Well the only winged white horse I have read about is Pegasus. I didn't think he really exsisted. Pegasus is here! I thought he was just a myth, said Angela. Who is Tillia. Oh Tillia is Sara's unicorn, said Penny. What Pegasus and a unicorn is outside? asked Angela. Yep so are you coming out Alieta? I got to tell Ginger about this. She will freak, said Penny then ran out of the room. So Angela, do you want to meet Tillia and Pegasus. Are you kidding, I wouldn't miss this for the world, said Angela. 35 illustration goes here Alieta and Angela walked out of the palace and saw Tillia talking to Pegasus back some from the palace. My god, he talks too, said Angela. Look at the two of them. They both are so beautiful. Yes they are, said Alieta. Come lets meet Pegasus. They walked up to them and Angela looked at Tillia. Wow a real unicorn. You are so beautiful, said Angela. Thank you dear. You are very beautiful too, said Tillia. My name is Tillia and this is my friend Pegasus. Wow, my name is Angela. This day has turned out to be very special for me. Pegasus lowered his head to Alieta. It is an honor to meet you Queen Alieta. Tillia tells me you are special. It's an honor to meet you too Pegasus, so handsom and majestic looking, said Alieta. Never in my days did I think I would meet the mystical horse Pegasus. Pegasus turned to Tillia. I like her too, she says I am majestic and mystical, said Pegasus. So Tillia tells me that it is a rule to meet you when first coming to this Fae Land. Yes it is sort of a rule but more of Ivy's rule. She is a forest sprite and Sara's sister. Very powerful and well loved girl here and queen of the forests and the land. My another queen. Should I go see her too? asked Pegasus. No need for that, she will find you soon enough, said Alieta. She controls all the magic here in Fae Land. So where are you staying? Oh I need no special care, said Pegasus. At night I will just curl up under a tree to sleep and I love the taste of the grass here so no need to feed me oats. Ya Pegasus is a free soul and requires no special food or shelter, said Tillia. He does have a thing for sugar and apples like me though. Yep, always nice to have a treat, said Pegasus. So are there any restrictions here that I must obey like where I can go and graze? Not really, said Alieta. Go where you like, I am sure everyone here would love to meet you all over Fae Land, especially the humans. Oh so there are humans here too? They can be a bit annoying at times, said Pegasus. Well they all live in the north west colony and are very nice. Most have families with children. Everyone here is very pleasant, said Alieta. Just then Ginger and Penny came out of the palace. My who is that pretty elf over there with Penny? asked Pegasus. That is Ginger, my main girl that runs the palace and many other things here, said Alieta. She is also my very best friend and has done remarkable things during her life. So Pegasus, can anyone ride you or are you like Tillia and can only have one companion? No anyone can get on my back. That is up to me though, said Pegasus. I prefere only to let deserving people to ride me like Hercules. We are a team. Well offer her a ride then for me. She has never been up in the air, said Alieta. She may like to try it. Okay I will, said Pegasus. A pretty girl like that on my back will be a pleasure for a change. Come Tillia, lets let Ginger meet Pegasus alone, said Alieta. We can watch from the steps and see what happens. Why what could happen? asked Angela. Well Ginger loves horses as much as people. If you can't find Ginger anywhere then check the stables, said Alieta. 36 illustration goes here So what do you think of your new friend Tillia? asked Alieta as the were walking back towards the palace. Oh I have know Pegasus for a very long time, said Tillia. Were used to hang out together before he met Hercules and I was in limbo. Okay then so you teo are old friends reunited, said Alieta. Yep isn't he quite the man, said Tillis. Alieta smiled. Yes in a horse with wings kind of way I suppose, said Alieta. Once they reached the palace steps Alieta saw Ginger had a big smile on her face. So what do you think of Tillia's friend? asked Alieta. He wants to meet you and said you were very pretty. Really so that is the real Pegasus? asked Ginger. Yes that is Pegasus, said Alieta. Knows how to address a queen properly, said Alieta. I think he is very, um I have no words for how much I like him, said Ginger. Then go, he is very pleasant to talk to, said Alieta. Ginger walked over to Pegasus with a smile on her face. Hi Pegasus, I am Ginger. My you are the most beautiful horse I have ever seen and I have seen plenty. None with wings of coarse but a pure white stallion. I always wished I could have such a beautiful and strong horse. Well arn't you fillied with pleasentries. Keep going, I like it, said Pagasus. Ginger laughted. Your funny too, so you are with Hercules now? asked Ginger. Well yes, we are a team when he needs me but we are both free souls and do separate things when there is no trouble, said Pegasus. Mostly I fly around and look for new places and things to discover and graze in grassy fields, said Pegasus. I love to fly and can go very fast and high. 37 illustration goes here So Alieta said you like horses, said Pegasus. Oh yes, I love horses with a passion, said Ginger. I love to ride them in the open grassy areas running fast. There is something special riding a fast horse with the wind in my face blowing my hair back. It is a magical sense of freedom. So you like riding then, how would you like to ride me? asked Pegasus. I don't just let anyone ride me but you are special, I can tell. Really I can ride you? I always wanted to ride Tillia but can't, only Sara can ride her. Well I don't have rules like Tillia and she doesn't have wings either. Come and take me for a spin, said Pegasus. Let me see how good a rider you are. Okay! Lets do it, said Ginger. So do you want to bend down some? asked Pegasus. Nope just stand still, said Ginger then she went to the side of Pegasus then took three big steps and jumped in his back perfectly. Wow you got some talent there girl, said Pegasus. So are you afraid of heights? asked Pegasus. Not sure, how high are we talking about? asked Ginger. We will see, just tell me whent we are high enough, said Pegasus. Okay hang on tight Ginger, here we go! Pegasus bucked up on his hind legs then flapped his wings hard and took off to the sky and soon they were out of sight. Well there she goes, said Alieta. I knew she would want to ride him, she loves horses and told me she wished she had a white or even a black stallion of her own many times. I tried to find her one but seemed like there only wild black stallions around and impossible to catch. Well she sort of does now. When Pegasus likes someone he will come when they call, said Tillia. He loves flying more than anything in the world. Well then, her dream may have come true then, said Alieta with a big smile. Yes and Pegasus is a very good friend to have, said Tillia. He can fly almost as fast as I can run on my own and that is faster tahn most sprites. How fast can he run? asked Angela. Faster than any horse but why run when you have those big beautiful wings that will get you where you want to go in no time, said Tillia. 38 illustration goes here Pegasus and Ginger were flying north near the border of Fae Land. Yep you sure do know how to ride a horse, said Pegasus. Much better than Hercules and a lot lighter too. So where is this grassy area you talked about that you like to ride? Oh I'll take you there, said Ginger. I have some new homes being bult there for future new comers. Ginger steered Pegasus out futher from the border then flew over the west town. Down there is the town were everyone does most of their shopping, said Ginger, There is another town in the north area of Fae Land too. Okay good to know but I don't shop, said Pegasus. You can always buy me an apple or two though. I love apples. Well I don't have to buy apples. We have an orchard and lots of apples, said Ginger. We have some fresh green ones in the palace kitchen. I will get you a couple when we get back. Okay just ahead there is Lulu's two little houses. She is a pixie and Sakura's best friend. Both of them are very funny and a bit nutty, said Ginger. Now just down there is the grassy plains. Those two big houses over there are Banshee and Mika's homes. Okay lets go down so I can check out the grass there. I eat a lot of grass, maybe ten pounds a day, said Pegasus. Okay lets go down, said Ginger. Pegasus flew down and landed in a nice green area then took a big mouthfull of fresh grass. Man the grass tastes so good here. So much flavour and thick. Very easy to get a good size mouthful and chew. Well that is because of the magic coming from Eden, said Ginger. Ivy has some of Eden's magic diverted west to help the Fantasy Pixie Forest that the fairies made. There are fairies here too? asked Pegasus. Yep a bunch of them in the fairy forest just west of the palace, said Ginger. Just then Ivy landed in front of Pegasus. Ginger, where did you find this really cool flying horse? asked Ivy. This is Tillia's friend Pegasus, said Ginger. She brought him to the palace to meet Alieta. Oh good, save me from doing that, said Ivy. My you are the most gorgeous horse I have ever seen and those wings are so magnificent and big. My name is Ivy and it is very nice to meet you Pegasus. Oh so you are Queen Ivy, said Pegasus. Alieta did say that you would find me soon. So you like my wings? asked Pegasus. I like all of you, said Ivy. Even that fluffy tail that flaps around when you are flying. Your so soft to, as Ivy began to pat Pegasus. So where are you two going? No where special, said Ginger. Just flying around showing Pegasus some spots of importance here. I have never seen Fae Land from the sky before. Now I get why you like flying so much. Take Ginger up about a thousand feet then you can see all of Fae Land at once, said Ivy. It is an amazing view. Okay I am heading home. Alieta said today is a holiday and know one works today anywhere. World Fae Land Day or something like that. Okay, see you two later then Ivy flew off. Now that is one sweet girl, said Pegasus. So nice and smart, just like Alieta. I have never met queens like those two before. Ginger smiled and didn't bother to tell him there was yet more queens living in Fae Land. So do you want a high view of Fae Land. Ivy said it looks amazing, said Pegasus. Okay that would be awesome and then we can go back to the palace stable where I can brush you down and have a couple of elves wash your coat and make it shine, said Ginger. You don't have to do that, said Pegasus. I know but I want to, you are getting the royal treatment, said Ginger. Okay but don't forget the apples, said Pegasus. Ginger laughed. I won't silly. Then off they went high into the sky. 39 illustration goes here Back at the palace Tillia was laying down on the grass and Angela was behind her patting Tillia's back. Alieta was standing beside Tillia waiting for Ginger and Pegasus to get back from where ever they went. Here they come, said Tillia. Wow look at them go, said Angela. I don't think I would be able to hang on like Ginger. Ginger knows her horses that is for sure, said Alieta. I wonder where they went, they were gone for over an hour. Ginger brought Pegasus in for a soft landing then jumped off of Pegasus. Wow that was amazing, said Ginger. You should of seen us after Ivy talked to us on the grassy plains. Oh so you saw Ivy then, did she read Pegasus? asked Alieta. Not sure, I don't think so. She just patted Pegasus and said how beautiful he was, said Ginger. Ya she really liked my wings and tail, a very nice queen too, like you Alieta, said Pegasus. Yep and she told Pegasus to take me up around a thousand feet so I could see Fae Land from high up. Man it was awesome. We could see the palace and the fariy forest all the way over to the north town, said Ginger. Fae Land looks so beatiful from above too. Now I get why Ivy loves flying so much. Anyways I got to grab a couple of apples then I am taking Pegasus to the stabbled to brush him down and get the elves in there to wash his coat. Then Ginger ran in the palace. Well looks like she had a good time, said Alieta. Yep and the very best rider I have ever had plus light as a feather, said Pegasus. She knew how to steer me and wasn't afraid of going real fast or high. Remarkable pretty girl Ginger is. Ginger came back out with tthree apples. Two for you and one for me, said Ginger. Then they walked over to the Stables with Pegasus. Well looks like Pegasus is going to get the royal treatment, said Alieta. Yep I love how the elves in there take care of me, said Tillia. Looks like Ginger has a new horse to ride. Why don't you go in there too. There are enough elves in there to pamper both of you, said Alieta. No this is Pegasus turn, said Tillia. I am sure he has never been pampered like this before. That guy deserves it. Besides I like what Angela is doing. She is a good patter. Well this has been one amazing day, said Alieta. I met and talked to my first alien from a different planet. Met a beautiful elf that is the mother of twin girls and now Pegasus. I dought tomorrow can beat this day. Well you never know Alieta, said Tillia. All your girls haven't come back from Granada yet. I bet they will have a lot to talk about. Yes that is true, said Alieta. Just then Ginger the pixie and Merlin apeared in the bi-directional teleporter. Who are they and what is that? asked Angela. Okay so I guess today's events are not over yet, said Alieta with a smile on her face. The End 40 illustration goes here
