The New Home

Ivy and Tobias led the way to the new forest and soon the pixies caught up to them all. "You went from a sad person to a hero to us all. We all never stopped loving you but we knew that you had to leave," said Kevin. "You may of done things what we thought was the wrong way of healing but it all worked out in the end Ivy." Ivy smiled and thanked him. "So you all go ahead. You will see the forest soon so just go in and tell them that Samantha asked you to come and live with them and there are sprites coming too," said Ivy. "Samantha said the pixies there are very friendly and love to play." "Well playing will be nice to do again," said Kevin. "It has been a long time since we have been able to do that also." Then off Kevin went with all the pixies following him. In a bit Ivy could see the forest dead ahead. "Okay everyone we are almost there," said Ivy. Kendra came up beside Ivy. "You are like our queen you know. Look at everyone following you," said Kendra. "Well I am already the queen of the forest and all the plants in Fae Land," said Ivy. "Well you are our queen too," said Kendra. "At least we can talk back to you in English and play too." Ivy smiled. "Okay every one, here we are. Make your self at home and we will go find Samantha," said Ivy. They all flew into the big forest then Ivy and Tobias went to find Samantha."

They saw a big place with three smaller homes close to it. "That is probably their place. Mom likes big nice things," said Tobias. They flew down and Tobias walked in without knocking. "Hello Mom, Dad are you here?" shouted Tobias. They both came out and saw the two of them standing there smiling. "Well hello son welcome to our new home," said Dallas. Nice place don't you think, your mother did all the decorating." "Yep your father is not much on decor," said Samantha. "My my is this Ivy, the girl your mother told me so much about?" asked Dallas. "Yep," said Tobias. "Nice catch son," said Dallas. Samantha elbowed Dallas in the ribs. "That is no way to talk to Tobias's girl friend," said Samantha. "Yes you are right but look at her she is beautiful," said Dallas. "Well yes she is gorgeous but still be civil," said Samantha. "Yes dear," said Dallas. Ivy was being a bit quiet seeing Tobias's father for the first time but had to get down to business. "Okay Samantha, a promise is a promise and I am not one to break a promise so I kept my promise," said Ivy. "Um what are you talking about dear?" asked Samantha. "The sprites and pixies, I brought them all here and they are in your forest now," said Ivy. "Really they are all here now and sprites also!" said Samantha. "Yep, lots of them," said Ivy.

"Well Ivy you never cease to amaze me. You are a true queen of the forest," said Samantha. "Well all the sprites here are now telling me I am their queen too," said Ivy. "All I did was take them from a bad place and bring them to a better safe place." "Well yes and you should be a queen to them. You did exactly what it takes for people to want you as their queen," said Samantha. "Making people safe and happy is very queen like, just like Alieta. You have learned a lot form her and you did this for your friends not even thinking twice about it. You see Dallas, Tobias is dating royalty." "Yes I see that now, okay let me round up the other three and lets all greet the new arrivals," said Dallas. He went out and got Rasta, Merri and Soni and told them the good news then they all flew over to the forest. There was a lot going on in the forest with laughing and talking plus lots of pixies and sprites flying around playing. "Well they all seemed to have gotten to know each other fast," said Samantha. "Yep, all a pixie needs to know is if you like to play and if you say yes then you are a friend right away," said Ivy. "Wow wish the rest of the world was like that, said Rasta. "You did a very good thing for us here. We will never forget it." Some of the sprites saw them all standing there including Kendra. "Look everyone it is the amazing five," said Kendra. All the sprites flew over over to see them. "Wow there are quite a lot of them," said Samantha and a few forest sprites too. "Look, Samantha looks really strong, said Kendra. She must be a great warrior. "I wish I could be like her," said another sprite. That gave Samantha an idea. "Well welcome every one to our new land, sprites and pixies alike. We will do our best to keep all of you safe from anything bad. There is no hunting allowed in this forest but humans are allowed to come in to explore and play if they want," said Samantha. "Yeah, we all love to play," all the pixies said at once. "Told you, playing is the ticket in," said Ivy. "Yes I see that," said Samantha.

Now can I talk to you three sprites in private?" asked Samantha. "You three can pass on what I say to the others." The three sprites followed Samantha to the edge of the forest. "Okay now there is a special offer I would like to give the sprites for those that want it. Those that wish to train and become protectors of this land will be rewarded with a new house of your own or share one with a friend. You will be trained in how to use a bow and arrow and taught basic skills in air combat. Now do not worry if things look grim at times because Alieta, the queen of Fae Land has promised to help us at any time. Just one very fast pixie can give her the message then her massive winged army will be here to help with in minutes. Fae Land is not far away," said Samantha. Wow that sounds good but what is a house?" asked a sprite. Samantha smiled. "Well it is a home that has walls and a roof to live a sleep in like the houses Merri, Rasta and Soni have over there, said Samantha. You never have to worry about getting wet when it rains and it has a thing called a kitchen where you can cook real food and not just nectar and candy cane," said Samantha. "Wow that does sound nice, they said and started talking among them selves then flew back the the rest of the sprites. "You know, the only thing missing is a party," said Samantha. I know Alieta would have one but I don't have the food and resources she has." "Um if I can get a few fairies to come here then maybe we can have a party," said Ivy. "Yes that would work. Are you sure they would come?" asked Samantha. "Yep I am sure, they love doing magic for everyone," said Ivy. "Okay then go now and I will get things started here," said Samantha. Ivy took off and Samantha asked Rasta, Merri and Soni to let the human farmers and builders plus the rest of the people on our land about the party and tell them it will be something they will never forget. "Okay boss" and they took off. "Okay everyone, in celebration of you all coming here, Ivy is going to throw an amazing party for every one out front of our house. She has many friends and some of them are real fairies with magic wands," said Samantha. "Yeah!" they all yelled even though most of them didn't know what a party was.
