Tales of a Fairy

Twilight has fallen on this land of mythical beings. The sun may rest peacefully on the horizon but many creatures have awoken. Amongst all the plant life lives a creature only known by the innocent imaginations of the young; there are fairies fluttering around the blooming flowers in the look for sweet nectar. Their wings flutter almost silently creating a soft hum, their small faces bare happy smiles whilst emitting a striking glow, like a little light hidden within. A jingle can be heard as they fly amongst the vibrant colours provided by numerous flowers; they seem to bounce to flower to flower, many say it is their laughter but some say it is the sound of their fairy dust being sprinkled onto many forms of life. From time to time, a humble fairy will travel beyond its home, peering into many windows looking for that one special being to bestow a gift. It flutters into the dimly lit room and sprinkles its magical fairy dust upon the brow of a slumbering child; a slight glow appears momentarily. It leaves without a single thought but a smile spreads from cheek to cheek; a wish will be granted when dawn breaks. As the child dreams many strange images appear; unknown sounds resonate from places unknown. Dawn begins to break and the child glows golden; suddenly they are small and adorn wings of an array of colour. As the sun rises the new-born fairy is ready to discover a world that was once beneath their feet, a world that was once out of reach; a world of magic and discovery.
