Welcome To Fairy Land

Okay Ivy, just follow me and we will be there before you know it, said Pippa. Okay, said Ivy. They got up nice and high and Pippa was flying almost at top speed at her normal big size. Why we going so slow? asked Ivy. Can't we go faster? Really, you can fly faster that this? asked Pippa. Yep, watch this, then Ivy took off way ahead of Pippa. Holy, that girl can move almost like a pixie, thought Pippa. She had to shrink down some in order to catch up to Ivy. Night time came and Ivy asked if they should stop and sleep some. Nope we cannot stop. You never know what might be down there while you are sleeping, said Pippa. We are way too fast for anything to catch us up here. Ivy smiled and they both kept flying through the night but slowed down a bit. Ivy saw the sun rising and said to Pippa that she hoped they will be there soon because she was getting real tired. Okay Ivy, lets slow down a bit more now. We are almost there, said Pippa. They flew for another hour and Ivy could see a huge green spot in the distance. Is that it up ahead? asked Ivy. Yep that will be Fairy Land, said Pippa. They got closer and Ivy noticed it was huge, bigger than any forest she had seen before. It looks bigger than the last time I was here, said Pippa. They both got there and landed just outside of the forest. So how do we get inside. The forest looks so dense, said Ivy. Is their a secret password or something? Nope but it can be a bit tricky seeing the entire forest is protected by magic, said Pippa. Magic! I love magic, said Ivy. Okay come with me and I will show you, said Pippa. She led Ivy between trees until they got to a bit of a path then started to follow it. All of a sudden Ivy stopped. What is wrong? asked Pippa. We are not going to get in this way, said Ivy. If we keep going we will be back where we started. How do you know that? asked Pippa with a smile. I can feel it, said Ivy. The trees want me to go this way. Ivy touched a tree and a bunch of trees opened up a path for her. Well I guess Alieta was right, said Pippa. Even this forest loves forest sprites. Just then a head popped out from behind a tree. Pippa! she yelled then came running to her and gave Pippa a big hug. Hi Pippie, really nice to see you again, said Pippa. I missed you so much silly. You got to come by more often. You know every one loves you here, said Pippie. Who is that with you and how did she make the trees open for her? Oh this is my best friend Ivy and she comes from Fae Land the place I told you about. She is a forest sprite and a very special one. Is she okay, asked Pippie. Yes she is the best, said Pippa. Yes she must be special for the trees to like her, said Pippie. Okay Ivy the forest sprite even though our forest likes you and will let you in you still have to be approved by my mom. Okay I will wait, said Ivy. Pippie whispered to Pippa, Does all the girls in Fae Land look as pretty as Ivy? Pippa smiled. Every one in Fae Land is pretty but Ivy is the prettiest of all the girls, said Pippa.

Mom, Pippa is back and she brought a friend, yelled out Pippie. Your Mother is in charge of who can come in the forest? asked Ivy. Well ya she is the queen and all, said Pippie. In a few moments Guen emerged from the forest with a big smile on her face. Oh Pippa, it is so good to see you again you have been away for so long this time. Well I have been busy, taking care of things, there are a lot more pixies in the woods now and we have to start sending some to the east woods now, said Pippa. Guen looked up at Ivy. My goodness you brought a beautiful forest sprite with you. I haven't seen one of them for ages. Is she friendly with people or likes to stay hidden in the trees? asked Guen. Pippa smiled, this is Ivy my best friend from Fae Land Ivy and Ivy this is Guen Queen of Fairy Land. Ivy is loved by everyone she meets in Fae Land. Nice to meet you Guen, my you are so pretty, said Ivy, I wasn't expecting to meet a queen today, I must look horrible after flying all day and night to get here. Is there a place where I can wash up? Guen smiled. There is a place but you look perfect to me, said Guen. Mom the trees opened up for her without my help. Of course dear, trees love forest sprites as much as forest sprites love trees. Come lets go to the cove, it will be interesting to see how the pool reacts to Ivy. Guen turned to the forest and yelled open wide. Suddenly hundreds of trees moved making a very long path. Now we can fly there, the cove is in the middle of the forest and that is very far from here. Come Pippa, I am dying to hear what you have been up to in Fae Land and what new stories you have to tell, said Guen.

They all flew along the path that kept opening up far ahead of them and Ivy noticed that the trees closed not far behind her. When they reached the end of the path Guen asked Ivy to come forward. Lets see if the trees will open for you at the cove, said Guen. Just touch any tree and ask if you can enter. Ivy looked at the trees in front of her then spoke softly something on old eleven then the trees opened wide for them all. My God, you didn't even have to touch a tree. What did you say, I could barely hear you? asked Guen. I just said please let us all in, trees like a soft voice plus I could feel the trees all around me are very happy right now, said Ivy. My you are a very special girl if you can sense how trees feel, said Guen. Go ahead step into our cove. Oh you have a pond in there can I go in it and rinse off a bit please, asked Ivy. Sure if you wish, said Guen. Ivy ran into the cove and jumped in the pool, Suddenly the entire cove got very bright and the pond began to swirl. Ivy sat down in the water and began getting handfuls of water and pouring it on herself. Pippa, Pippie and Guen watched as they could actually see the magic from the pool swirling around Ivy as she stood back up then stepped out of the pool. The cove dimmed a bit then Ivy shook her self off. Wow that was even more refreshing than at Sandy Lake. I feel great now, said Ivy. That pond has very strong magic in it! I wouldn't suppose you have any ice cream here somewhere. I need to recharge my wings now. Does that happen when you go in the pond? asked Pippa to Guen. Nope never, said Guen. What is ice cream?

A fairy came flying into the cove very fast and went to a device that was up against a wall beside the pool. Is everything okay Tulip? asked Guen. Looks like it but just a minute ago in the forest all the trees were moving around and waving branches up and down. Scared everyone in the forest. Looks like the forest just got bigger again though. By how much? asked Guen. Not a lot, about twenty yards in all directions, said Tulip. Looks like you had a positive effect when you went in the coves pool, said Guen. You think I caused all that to happen? asked Ivy. I am certain of it, said Guen. That pool is the source of all the magic in this forest and controls everything. You going in the pool just told every tree and plant here that a forest sprite is here and a very unique one it would seem. Yep Ivy is special, Alieta told me she has a very strong inner energy that is still growing, said Pippa. I see so she is not a regular forest sprite then, said Guen. I feel normal, said Ivy, just nice and clean now. I am sorry Ivy I shouldn't be talking about you like this and yes you do look much better now, said Guen. Tulip do you know how to make ice cream? Nope, never heard of it, what is it? asked Tulip. Come over here and meet Ivy. She will tell you, said Guen. Tulip flew over. Hi Pippa, good to see you again. Is this your girlfriend? asked Tulip. Ivy is my best friend back in Fae Land, said Pippa. Nice looking girl, please meeting you Ivy. So what is this ice cream? asked Tulip. Well it is cold and tastes amazing plus is real sweet. I like chocolate ice cream the best, said Tulip. Okay so it is a food, I can make food but I will have to touch your arm to read you a bit to see what it looks like and what it tastes like first. Okay, make a chocolate ice cream cone for me please, said Ivy then put out her arm. Tulip held Ivy's arm for a minute then let go. My goodness that is some amazing food you have in Fae Land, said Tulip. Okay hold out your hand please. Tulip made her wand appear then created a perfect ice cream cone for Ivy. Ivy took a lick of it. How is it, did I do it right? asked Tulip. It is perfect, said Ivy. Make me one, said Guen. Heck make everyone a ice cream cone, it looks really good. Tulip made them all a cone plus herself. Everyone started licking it like Ivy. This tastes great, said Guen. Why didn't you tell me about ice cream the last time you were here Poppa? I just learned about it lately. Ivy got Alieta to get me some when I was hurting real bad and was laying on a bed. She calls it happy food. You got hurt, how did that happen, asked Guen. I saved a heroes life by pushing an evil wizard but he grabbed me and threw me to the ground, said Pippa. Yep Pippa almost died but God let him live, Pippa is a hero, said Ivy. My you do have some new stories to tell me don't you. I want you to tell me everything and don't leave anything out this time, I know you didn't tell all the things about Fae Land last time you were here, said Guen.

After they finished their ice cream cones, some of the other fairy princesses flew into the cove and saw them standing at the end of the pond talking so they flew over to see the new visitor. Hi I am Sunflower, I am Lilly, I am Chestnut, what is your name? This girls is Ivy, a forest sprite from Fae Land and a good friend of Pippa's, said Guen. Wow, a real forest sprite, is that why the forest got really happy a little while ago? asked Lilly. Yes, trees and plants love forest sprites, said Guen and Ivy is a very special one. Where is your other sister Roseberry? She is still sleeping, I tried to get her up but she just said go away I am having a good dream, said Sunflower. I see, well girls show Ivy around while I catch up with Pippa, said Guen. Can I stay, I want to hear Pippa's stories too, said Pippie. Sure you can, said Guen. Okay the rest of you have fun and show Ivy this amazing forest that we all built. The five of them flew off to the other end of the cove then disappeared. Guen made three chairs then they sat down. Now what have you been up to Pippa, almost getting yourself killed and all? asked Guen. Well that part is bit of a long story, said Pippa. I don't mind a good long story, said Guen. Start at the beginning then telI me how you met Ivy. I bet there is a good story about that too.

Well in order to know about how and why I got hurt you have to heard about how I met Ivy first and before I tell you about that I would have to tell you about all the heroes in Fae Land that keep it the safest place in the world. Safe from what? asked Guen. You know, dragons, creatures, Evil kings and there armies trying to invade Fae Land. Even evil wizards but they have no chance against the team of heroes. So does this type of stuff happen often there? asked Guen. Not anymore. Word got out that Fae Land can not be beaten by anything be it man, wizards and even demons now because of Apollonia. Who is that, she has a funny name, said Pippie. Well she is an angel with black wings, some say she is a dark angel but she is really nice and is good friends with Ivy plus the twins that are very pretty teenage human girls. So this angel can scare away demons then? asked Guen. No, she kills them like they are nothing. God made Apollonia not long ago to be his warrior angel with no rules about not interfering and stuff. So does she look scary? asked Pippie. Nope, she is very pretty and kinda looks like a teenager too, said Pippa. Except with big black wings of course. Well so lots of things have been happening in Fae Land, said Guen. Just start with how you met Ivy, that is what I am most interested in then how you got hurt and became a hero, like Ivy said. Okay, that is when all the pixies everywhere came to help me get better and told me I was their queen, said Pippa. Well about time they figured out how important you are to them. No wonder you haven't come to see us for so long. Your a queen now and that has responsibilities, said Guen. Don't I know it, said Pippa.

Pippa told Guen and Pippie all the stories she figured they needed to know. When she was finished Guen seemed quite content. So now is there still a lot of pixies in Fae Land, said Guen. Yep and more keep on coming every day. Soon we may run out of room, said Pippa the east woods is bigger but there is not enough sweet food in there like in the west woods. Us pixies can get very small but we don't like staying that small all the time. Being our normal size is better for playing and flying around at night. I may have to start turning them away. Oh that is no good, said Guen. Why doesn't Alieta expand Fae Land then? Well the land outside of the west is mostly desert and rough terrain. Oh dear, that does seem to be a problem then, said Guen. Ya we have Ivy that could make things grow pretty much anywhere but Mother Nature put her in charge of all of Fae Land that is a very big place so she has her hands full seeing she is the only forest sprite, said Pippa. Well it sounds like Fae Land needs a few fairies but we never leave the forest, said Guen. But I would really like to meet Alieta sometime and see this magical beautiful place she rules over, said Guen. I am pretty sure she would like to meet you also, said Pippa. The two of you are very similar in the ways you do things... The fairies were giving Ivy the grand tour and showed her their latest creation. Here is an amazing waterfall that took a couple of days to make but was worth it, said Lilly. It is beautiful, said Ivy and bigger than the one at Sandy Lake in Fae Land. So much green here and lots of colours from many different types of flowers. It is a paradise here, said Ivy. Thanks, that is what we were going for here. Ivy put her head up and said there is trouble over there outside of the forest. I think some people are trying to get in and they are bad, said Ivy. Oh just probably more people trying to get in again, but they can't. They are not that bad just curious, said Tulip. No these ones are definitely very bad and have help and they are very bad too. said Ivy. How do you know that? asked Tulip. I can sense evil from a long distance, it is a talent I have, said Ivy. Oh dear, I better go back and tell Mom, said Tulip. She should know what to do. I am coming too, said Ivy. They flew back to the cove and Tulip told Guen what Ivy sensed. Are you sure they are that bad, asked Guen to Ivy. Yep, they are, Lots of evil creatures and something else, said Ivy. If Ivy senses that they are very bad and evil then you best believe her because she is never wrong, said Pippa. Oh dear, come with me to the overviewer, there I can see better what is going on outside of the forest. They both flew over to the right wall where there was a device on the wall filled with water. Guen touched the surface of the water and it lit up. Oh no, I have never seen that much red before outside. Can we fly up above the forest and have a look at them? asked Ivy. Yes good idea, said Guen. When they were well above the forest they could see a very large army of creatures that were now running toward the forest, Those look like troglodytes said Ivy. Apollonia told me about them, said Ivy. They are ruthless and very strong. Oh no we cannot defend ourselves from things like that we can't hurt anything even if they are bad, said Guen, God won't let us. I know who will fix this for you, said Ivy.
