Over the years Fairy had
decided to fade into the distance because of the prophecy; the prophecy that
had condemned not just fairy but the whole world. The fates had been playing cruelly these last
few hundred years, with all beings that inhabited the earth. But the only the humans maintained hold on
the world, and all other beings went to hide and became myths and legends. Fairies grew tired of the High Kings tirades
and choose to take the power from him, years passed and still he maintained
most of his gifts, still using them for cruel tortures and murders.
Never did it fail to amaze
Fairy at what had been created, just like in the human world there were tyrant
rulers in the countless other worlds that existed, but unlike the human world
in Fairy, once a ruler always a ruler.
High King Callus, made it known that he was king. But Fairy had made it known that it and its
power was ruled by nothing but itself.
So like the other beings of any power it went into hiding, fading into
distant memory. Until the day that the Fairies could prove themselves worthy of
living with the power again, or the day the prophecy was born.
The latter of the two
happened, and there was the prophecy child.
But Fairy knew that the child was doomed do a fate worse than death if
it survived. King Callus and his murderous daughter Katrina would make it their
goal to kill the child. So it took
matters into its own hands, and would bring Fairy back to the truly deserving;
the child of the Worlds Collide.
First it would have to
appeal to The Fates, because they played with cunning whit and intuition, also
they had a wild card up their sleeve, yet to be revealed. Something so big, all
supernatural and preternatural beings were going to either hide deeper into
their shells or choose to stand and move like the pawns they were in this game. Luckily for Fairy, it knew it was no ordinary
chess piece and thus had more power than the others, it had Raven. With the
child on its side, it was sure that what it chose to do next would make or
break how the prophecy child would bring about the inevitable.
Fairy only hoped that she
would bring peace. Meanwhile the
strongest of it’s kind were going to start a war with themselves.
Cannon Beach, Oregon
“While the weather seems to have stabilized here on the West
Coast, storms are raging all across the world.
In Italy
there is now a death toll of one hundred fifty people. It seems small in
comparison to Ireland
where a near four hundred are trapped in the rubble and debris after a tsunami
hit the Country’s costal region last night.
Meteorologists are saying the freak storms are unpredictable and
unreliable. Officials of all countries
are warning people to stay indoors and if you live on the coasts evacuate
immediately.”
She turned off the TV as the
reporter was moving on to more news.
“Well there are only two of us that can cause massive weather changes; you
and Airianna...” she looked pointedly at the man that was behind her, “Where is
Airianna now Father? I mean Your Highness…”
“Where she has been for the
last sixteen years…” His ice blue stare
reached her green with a hint of anger, “in hiding with that traitor of a
husband, course he wasn’t a traitor to us… I am sure his house is searching for
them all the same.” His rage subsided
long enough to look in his oldest daughters eyes with some sort of longing, “Do
you know where the child is? I feel a
power unlike any I have ever known… a power wild, raw, and mixed.” He said the
last word with disdain.
“No. The last I saw of the
child it was being taken away by a nice family, with no magic running through
their veins” she gave him a level green eyed stare.
“When Airianna left the
child in your care did she leave t with anything explaining what it was? Or a
name for it?”
“No father, nothing”
She felt his anger before it
landed on her shoulders. The pain ebbed
on her cheek. “Find that half-breed child and bring it to me! Otherwise you’ll be more like your mother
than just in looks alone!”
“Yes father”, as she turned
to walk away she almost refused to bow, then she turned and lowered her head ever
so slightly.
“Katrina…”
“Yes Father?” she raised a
red eyebrow.
“You will also find that
blasphemous sister of yours and be rid of her.”
“And the husband?”
“Kill him. I will have no
more unwanted heir half breeds in Fairy.”
“Yes Father.”
Katrina walked away as the
windows shattered with the booming thunder.
“You’d think the ancient bastard would have a castle with the way he
orders me around, or mistake me for a servant the way I do his bidding… but he
lost his castle because of this…Fairy didn’t want him…” She stopped the nearest servant, “I need a
car, a ticket to Rome
to leave tonight, and… have someone fix the windows that my father is so fond
of breaking.”
“Yes Ma’am” the servant said
and started to hurry off.
“Wait.”
“Yes ma’am?”
“Find something to calm the
crazy old bastard. Rain is fine but
world wide catastrophes that kill hundreds is not…”
“Yes ma’am.”
She started down the main
steps. “I’ve worked hard to keep that child from her fate. Now I will have to kill her. As much as I can’t stand my sister, her vial
husband, and the spawn that they created, no one should die at the hands of
that High King of Fairy. Not even them.”
