Colette

Chapter 1

I am Colette Alexandria. A sky fairy. The princess of our place, Devalia. We, sky fairies live in the clouds. We are the ones who change the weather. And there are beings living below us, they are called humans.

We have this thing called the watcher. By using it, we can see how things are happening down there. Though I am a princess, I have never been allowed to see through it.

I have always been curious; why are we changing the weather? Is that our only purpose in this world? What is living below like?

My mother said that we, sky fairies, are very grateful towards the Great King so this is the way to repay his kindness. It is said that the Great King is the one that made Devalia and let us transfer here.

My mother is the one who rules Devalia. My father is not with us anymore. So my mother gets all of the work here.

"There's a problem, your highness.", the guard said to mom.

My mom stood up quickly and ran to our veranda to see what happened. I also stood up and went with her.

The WeathBalls machine stopped working. The machine is working because of the Great King, his power is the one that makes it work. WeathBalls are the ones used to change the weather.

"What just happened?", my mom asked.

"It just suddenly stopped working, your highness."

The WeathBalls are very important because they are the ones that give the Devalia power and they are the ones that make us food.

And if the WeathBalls machine is not working, it means that something must have happened to the Great King.

"Call the leaders.", my mom said to the guard. The guard bowed and walked away quickly.

Devalia is divided into 4 parts. The leaders are like the managers of each parts.

My mother went to the meeting room. I am all alone now.

I took my coat and went outside of the palace. "Your highness, why are you here?", Jini asked.

Jini is my friend outside of the palace. She is the only one I know outside.

"Geez Jini, who are you kidding?", I smiled.

She laughed. "Hey, do you think something happened to the Great King? And what will happen to us? We only stored WeathBalls that would just last 2 months. What will happen if the Great King's condition worsen?", she asked seriously.

I slapped her forehead. "Stop being negative. My mother will always find a way. Besides, it's the Great King we're talking about here. He'll be fine.", I said.

"You don't need to slap my forehead you know?", she said. We laughed.

"So how's Mr. Handsome-suitor-guy?", Jini raise her eyebrows while grinning maliciously.

She means my suitor. Casper is his name. He may be handsome but I don't like him. He may be smart, kind, a gentleman—no I don't like him at all.

"Pssshh. That guy won't last long. He'll get tired of me.", I smirked and laughed.

"Uh huh? Just say the truth, you like him don't you?"

"Me? Like that Casper guy? Pft. As if.", I scoffed.

"You're turning red.", Jini elbowed me.

"No I'm not.", I held my cheeks as she keeps on teasing me.

That night, me and my mother were really quiet.

"Um. Mom, is there anything I can help you with?", I asked.
