Realm Of Fairies : Arret

Chapter 1 On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, in the summer of 90, the last of July to be exact, a new post-communist, a special little girl, who was the seventh generation of a magical being, came to this world. She is a blonde girl with clear blue eyes and white and smooth skin, like her great-grandmother. The girl was named Agnes ("purity" or "chastity"), a name chosen by her nanny, a special name that would protect her but also define her life later. Abandoned in the hospital from her mother at only three weeks, without a father, she was raised by her grandmother and aunt, who became her mother, sister respectively. She was a wonderful little girl, and although her childhood was difficult, she felt that she had something unique, especially, because she had moments when she saw different things in this world, normally hidden from the human eye, but the certainty that it was not just imagination would be confirmed by her one evening before the moment of becoming a woman, namely her first menstruation. Although until then she had dreams in which she was in a wonderful country, full of flowers, with sun, warmth, and light breezes, or snow with huge, fluffy flakes, that was the place where she felt, without knowing why, home. She felt that she belonged to that world completely, but at the same time, she was aware that dreams are just dreams and reality is the world she lives in and the one she grew up in and thought she knew. *** one month before the 15th birthday *** When everything had calmed down and she had finished her first year of high school, she was thinking about whether to look for a job or just take care of the household chores. She wanted to be useful and help her family as much as she could, so on that day, after she finished watering the garden, sweeping the yard, and cleaning the house, she looked in the pantry to see what she could make for food... Phew, here was the eternal problem... he took a basin with which she went into the garden and gathered some bean leaves, some lettuce, and green onions, took out some red radishes that were overgrown and made a salad, then beat some eggs with some diced cheese and salami and made an omelet. She waited for Anca from work to eat together when she finished everything. Anca: Hey, why did you stay hungry until now? Didn't mom drop by the house? Agnes: Not today. I wasn't even hungry... Anca: Don't lie, I don't want you to be hungry, and that's how thin you are... Agnes: Leave me alone, I'm OK, and what if I'm skinny? I like it the way I am! Anca: I was joking, be healthy because it doesn't matter if you are thin or fat. After eating and talking about what they did during the day, they went to bed. Anca: Good night! Agnes: Fluffy sleepy! and after she finished saying the prayer she fell asleep deeply until she began to dream. It was again in the same beautiful place, in a Japanese garden, this time with white and pink blooming cherry trees, and among them, there was a cradle full of flowers. The smell was delightful and she was trying to find out where a discreet vanilla scent was coming from. Walking among the cherry trees, she meets Amelie, a Fairy Guide who will introduce her to that magical world and then help her discover her powers, inherited powers, and those she will acquire over time. Agnes: Hello! Amelie: Hello! Do you like it here? Agnes: It's wonderful, I think heaven... she said with a slight sigh... Amelie: Not really. Agnes: Then what can be so beautiful? I have never seen anything like this on Earth. Amelie: If you want to listen, I can explain. Agnes: Please do! Amelie: - Two thousand years ago there was only one world on this Earth, a world in which all magical beings lived alongside ordinary people and there was a lot of harmony and understanding as long as the cultures and traditions of each species were respected, But this harmony was interrupted by a fairy who fell in love with a man. The problem was not the love between the two, but how the product of their love was treated, namely a boy who could not integrate, not being human enough or magical enough. After the great disappointment, he started to cry, and he cried, and he cried for 7 days and 7 nights until his tears turned into blood and he still didn't stop. In the place where they fell, a lake was formed. A lake so red and b****y, but because of the pain of it, the water in that lake was poisoned and anyone who touched it or drank from it would die of great sadness and grief, without any known cure. The people blamed the magical beings for poisoning that water and some magical beings believed that the people were to blame. After a long war that increasingly threatened the lives of magical beings, the elders decided to divide this Earth in two, thus creating a wave and separating magical beings from humans, forcing them at the same time and those who lived in harmony with humans to leave, as their love was too great. They didn't want to leave, but a price was needed to be able to stay, so it was decided that every magical being that was going to be born in the land of humans, would be trained and then taken to live in the magical realm, keeping it alive this way, otherwise a terrible disease would appear in any of the family members who did not comply. Agnes: -You mean??? What kind of terrible disease? Amelie: -Unfortunately, there will come a time when you will realize exactly what I am talking about. Agnes: seriously? Are you talking to me now in parables? How cool, I feel like I'm in the movies. You're really funny, Amelie. Do you want me to believe that everything I dream is true? Unfortunately, there is no magic except in movies, and now I must be dreaming that you are far too beautiful to be real, and my brain in REM sleep is debating nonsense... Amelie: Tomorrow evening you will go through the New Moon ritual and then you will believe me and understand, and when you wake up drink some sage tea and it will help you with the pain. Agnes: Ritual??? Do you want me to believe you??? She didn't have time to start laughing because she woke up tired and with terrible cramps and the first thing that came to her mind was sage tea. She barely managed to get off the bed, took the fluffy pink slippers with butterflies sewn with silver sequins on her feet, and went to the kitchen where her sister was already making the coffee. Anca: Good morning, Sun! Did you wink? You're a bit disheveled, you said you ran all night. What's up? Shall I make your coffee? Agnes: My stomach hurts a lot, I have some strange cramps in my back. I don't know how to explain it to you. Do we have sage tea? Anca: sage tea? Where did you get it??? We don't have any, only mint, lime, cherry, and bellflower, and this is black with bergamot. Yes, I say drink a coffee and stay in bed. Maybe you just need to go to the bathroom and then calm down. Agnes: OK girl, what do you say, I'm too sorry to contradict you, you see it's already half past ten and then you're running around the house because you're late for work... Anca: I have until 14, leave me!!!!
