The Secrets of the Fey

Prologue

Millions of years ago, before dinosaurs, the world was a beautiful, peaceful land ruled by fairies. Elegant, beautiful fairies, who ruled across green meadows, scattered with perfect white daisies embroidered with pink at the tips and tiny green trees, full with green, bright leaves. Child fairies were educated in a pretty, kind, generous environment, where the tiny babies were looked after by their mothers at home or they were sent to a nursery so their mothers could work.

Many years passed and the fairy land stayed the same; it was peaceful, calm and innocent. However evil was at work...

Deep in the depths of the underground something was plotting, something dangerous, something that could damage the fairy land forever...

One sunny day, Vella (a woodland fairy) danced barefooted across the soft green grass then galloped carefully into the turquoise, clear water. It lapped gently against her feet and she sank onto the river bank leaving her feet dipped into the water. She closed her eyes and fell into a sleep. She woke up, shivering and looked around trying to take in the dark sight around her. The green grass was now a dull grey, and the soft, fresh feeling of it was not there. It was now crisp and spiky.

Suddenly the church bells rang. '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10'. '10!' Vella exclaimed. She had come by the river at 8.00am so she had slept for for only 1 1/2hours. Yet time did not worry her, for the most unnerving thing was the fact it was dark and cold at this time! She raced back to her little cottage and greeted her anxious mother. 'Dear, we need to hide, something's coming, something bad.'...

That day a group of terrorists destroyed the land and everything on it. That day something terrible happened. That something wiped fairies off the face of the earth forever.Or so legend says...
