The Tale of the Fairy and the Witch
Chapter 1 – The Perfect Fairy
Once upon a time, there lived a witch named Griselda, she used to be a beautiful, kind fairy, but a different witch cursed her and now she was just like her! She had dark, frizzy hair that shot out like lightning bolts, her eyes were dark brown, and she had cracked, broken wings. Everyone called them sisters, but Griselda didn’t mind. Meanwhile, there lived a very different fairy named Arietta, she had long blond hair that shone in the sun, and eyes as blue as the sky, she was loved by all fairies, she was known to be a perfect heir for the fairy princess. This little fairy didn’t hate many things, she hated gilthead (a special fairy drink), Kiki Mountain (one of the color mountains), but the thing she hated most was: WITCHES. Arietta was always brave enough to lure away any witch, but she never met Griselda, and Griselda was different from other witches.
Chapter 2 – The River of Courage
One day, Arietta came across a beautiful river that she never saw before, it flowed gently and the crystal clear water sparkled in the sun. Arietta decided to cross it and see what waited on the other side. Arietta sang a little spell that would make the water still so she could fly across:
Water stay put,
Stop flowing, now,
Take all the pressure away,
And make the whole river stay STILL!
Arietta smiled as the water gradually stopped flowing. If water touched her wings, her wings would wilt and wither away. She happily flew across, not knowing what was about to come. It was a fairly long and wide river, ‘I hope I can make it across before the spell wears off’ Arietta hoped. Soon, the water started rushing again, “What’s happening?!” Arietta cried as she looked down from above. Only a few seconds passed, and the spell was supposed to last at least 3 minutes! Arietta tried again:
Stay still, little river,
Be calm and kind,
Water obey my thoughts,
And please stop the rush!
The spell wasn’t working! “Maybe I should go back home”, Arietta thought. No, she couldn’t, she was too far away from land, and she didn’t want to risk her wings getting wet. Arietta decided to call her animal friends to help, Arietta whistled a light tune, and soon, out of nowhere, birds and pixies appeared. The bird’s job in Fairy City was to control the wind and weather. The birds flapped their wings softly at the river to produce a calm wind to stop the river from rushing, but the river didn’t stop. Arietta groaned then looked at the three pixies hopefully. The pixie’s job in Fairyland was to mix potions and sell them in fairy shops. The pixies were puzzled, then one of the pixies with light blue hair and a pale pink dress on, flew in front. “Have you got an idea, Bell?” Arietta asked Bell. Bell nodded, then whispered something to a pixie named Hunt with dark green hair and a brown top and green pants. “Bell, Hunt, what is it?” Hunt finally said something, “Arietta, Bell suggests we make a potion of Wing Protection to protect your wings from the water” Hunt said. “But isn’t Wing Protection supposed to protect your wings from those witches that come at night?” Arietta answered. “It’s worth a try” Bell encouraged. “Ahem” A little fairy with lavender hair and light yellow dress choked. “Is there something wrong, Spark?” Arietta asked the pixie. “That will cost fairy dust, you know” Spark answered with annoyance. “Yeah, okay” Arietta shrugged. “Plus 6 more fairy dust since we have to come back to deliver it” Spark continued. “Uh, sure why not” Arietta answered. All the pixies nodded and flew back to their workstation. Arietta sighed; she wished she were a pixie, at least their wings didn’t wither away when they touched water, they were also really fast so they can easily pass the river.
A few minutes later, the pixies came back with a potion in Bell’s hand. “Here, drink the potion, then you will feel your wings get lighter and lighter, then fly across the river slowly” Spark instructed. “What if it doesn’t work? This potion isn’t used for protecting your wings from the water, after all” Arietta said. “Just try, we’re here to help if anything goes wrong”, Bell said. Arietta took a deep breath and drank the potion. Suddenly, she felt light and bouncy, Arietta giggled, the feeling was amazing. “Alright, now make your way across the river very slowly” Bell ordered. Arietta flapped her wings slowly, making sure she didn’t go too fast. “Alright, good, good, you’re almost there, OH NO!” Spark screamed. “What? Nothings wrong!” Bell said cheerfully. “I just realized we made a sixty second potion, not three minutes!” Spark cried. Everyone groaned, “Don’t give up, there must be a way back home! I’m almost there!” Arietta encouraged. The birds and pixies looked at each other, Bell shrugged, “Come on! We got to have some hope!” Arietta said. “Maybe you could just try fly across without the potion, it’s already worn out, it’s not very far, just a few meters!” Hunt suggested. Arietta shook her head; she wasn’t going to risk getting her wings wet. “We could make another potion!” Bell said. “I don’t have enough fairy dust” Arietta complained. Everyone looked at Spark, and Spark shook her head. “We spend time on those potions, it’ll always cost something!” Spark said angrily. “Well, I guess I’ll be here for the rest of my life, I wonder who will fight those scary witches…” Arietta said, winking at Bell. Bell giggled, “Oh, I’m so scared now! Arietta is like the fairy princess, we can’t continue without her!” Bell said, winking back at Arietta. Hunt smiled, “Yes, and who will fight those scary witches? I suppose, YOU will, Spark?” Hunt asked. Everyone laughed. Spark blushed, “Well…” she started saying. “No no, I understand, you will just get eaten up by those witches, oh well, at least I’ll be safe here” Arietta said. Spark looked at Arietta, then looked at Bell, then Hunt. “Okay, you can have another potion for free” Spark said flatly. “Thank you SOOOO much! I really appreciate it!” Arietta exclaimed, “Ooh! A message from Zyper!” Arietta whipped out her phone.
Where ARE you?
I am stuck!
What?! The people are wondering where you are, need help?
No, it’s too dangerous, I’m at a big river and can’t get back home!
You must’ve passed the River of Courage, don’t worry about it, have faith and be brave, just fly across!
Really? I’ll try it! But I’m blaming you if it doesn’t work
Ha ha! Trust me, it’ll work. There are other rivers like this, River of Friendship, River of Knowledge, yeah.
Ok, cya!
Bye!
“Zyper says it’s the River of Courage, I have to be brave and just fly across apparently!” Arietta explained. “Who’s Zyper, your boyfriend?” Bell giggled. Arietta’s cheeks flushed a deep red. “It isn’t like that!” Arietta lied, even though she knew she had a HUGE crush on Zyper.
“Its okay to like someone, plus, who wouldn’t like YOU?!?” Spark said. “Anyway, that means we don’t have to make another potion, do you believe you can do it?” Bell said, trying to steer the conversation to something else. “If Zyper can do it, anyone can” Arietta said truthfully. It WAS true. Zyper was the most adventurous fairy in Fairy City. “Alright, I’m ready” Arietta said. Arietta laughed as she flew across the river swiftly, it felt so nice for the wind to touch face again.
“Well, that worked” Hunt said. Arietta was embarrassed; if maybe she listened to Hunt earlier she could be home much quicker! “Arietta! I was so worried about you! Thank goodness you’re okay!” Zyper let out a sigh of relief. “I was worried too! That was dangerous but in the end, with your help, I managed to feel brave and fly across easily!” Arietta exclaimed.
