A lone fairy walked swiftly through the castle hall until he came to a set of massive, wooden doors. The doors were decorated with intricate carvings and were adorned with gold and jewels. On the top of the right door, there was a carving of a slim fairy whose wings were wrapped around a piece of land. Her hair was a dark brown color and her skin was beautifully tanned. Her wings were decorated with tiny gems of all colors, creating an iridescent effect. On the left door was a second fairy who was hovering behind the figure of a human. Her hands were outstretched towards the mortal and her wings were fanned out behind her. Like the first fairy, her wings were covered with jewels. She had light skin and golden, blonde hair. In the center of the two doors was a third fairy. She was carved higher than the other two. Her face was angled towards the sky and her arms and wings were stretched out as rays of light shone down on her. A large crown was perched on her head. Her hair was as white as snow and her skin was very pale. Out of the three fairies, she was by far the most beautiful. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56PEpdma46
The hall was lit with balls of light that floated high above the fairy’s head as he stopped just outside the doors. Two guards were standing outside the doors. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXUtnPEAe9
    “You’re not granted permission today, sir,” the fairy on the right said gruffly. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVHiZOT6xg
    “Excuse me?!” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxtCTLHlHZ
    “Per the Queens’ requests, no visitors are allowed. They have very important things to do, Othan. Just because you’re their favorite doesn’t give you the right to intrude on their business,” the guard sneered. Othan glared at him, then looked at the second guard. He avoided Othan’s gaze. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGMFYWUkVD
    “I have something important to discuss with their majesties, so if you will kindly move-” he said, trying to push past the two guards. They grabbed his arms. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJgB1K7ad
    “I said you are not allowed to enter! Stand down Othan!” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYINodEpUK7
    Suddenly the doors began to open. The three fairies scrambled out of the way so they wouldn’t get hit. As the doors swung open, they revealed a tall, pale-skinned woman. Her iridescent wings were relaxed behind her back and her snow-white hair fell down over her face slightly. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxXZuSqee
    “Your majesty!” the three men exclaimed as they fell to their hands and knees in a deep bow. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFPW04HyAe
    “Othan…I’ve been expecting you,” the woman’s silvery voice said, ignoring the guards. Othan raised his head to meet her gaze. The guard grabbed his head and forced it down. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3N91bg1qy
    “How dare you look her directly in the eyes!” he hissed in his ear.       60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzpHNE0R9j
    “Let him go, Jael,” the woman commanded gently. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvg2DbAsmd
    “Yes, your majesty!” Jael responded instantly, letting go of Othan’s head. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6kiY0AMw
    “Stand up, my children.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInobw4NVOD
    The three men stood, keeping their heads bowed. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzMZOkKls3
    “Come in, Othan, and tell me what is on your mind today,” the woman said, motioning for Othan to follow her behind the doors. He entered a large room after her and the doors shut behind them. The room’s ceiling was very high and was decorated with tiny balls of light that resembled stars. A large fountain was standing in the center of the room; all around it was a huge garden. Tiny streams ran from the fountain and provided the indoor garden with water. Trees and flowers of all kinds were growing inside the room. The atmosphere in the room was perfect and it relaxed Othan’s nerves. A small dove flew down from a tree and perched on the woman’s shoulder. Othan followed the woman down a small, stone path that led to the fountain. She sat down on the edge. Othan sat beside her. “I’m glad you came to see me, my child.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjVGOnHzWw
    “As am I, your majesty. I have missed talking to you,” Othan replied. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqw0cKvjR
    “I am always with you, you know. You can talk to me whenever you feel you must. I will always listen.” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGJam1GuQQ
    “I know, your majesty. But I don’t want to burden you with my troubles all the time,” Othan sighed. The woman smiled. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bDnwLAsV
    “You are never a burden, Othan.” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjEKaYUqQy
    “Thank you.” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8pj6XWuy1
    “What is it that you wanted to talk about today?”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxgh6DJdte
    “It’s about what I said earlier…” Othan began. A pained expression suddenly flashed across the woman’s face. She stood up. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxTLg5k6BZ
    “I have told you to forget that foolishness, Othan,” she said quietly. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaIj2A00cr
    “It’s not foolish! I'm determined to do this! It’s for your good, your majesty! Why don’t you see that?!” he cried. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH5OoGiDie
    “I can see all, Othan. I know your true intentions. You wish to be above me and my sisters. That is one thing I can not allow. I love you, Othan, but if you continue like this, then I’ll have no choice but to cast you out.”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYugnOAb2EI
    Othan stood up angrily. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FzWp5mDUL
    “My intentions are true! I mean no harm!” he answered. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvn7o82zOC
    “That may be so, but your lust for power greater than ours is unacceptable. Continue this and you will be removed from our kingdoms forever,” she said sternly. Othan sighed angrily. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFa659Y6fO
    “Yes, your majesty,” he muttered. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgErhbNb6JN
    “You may leave now. This conversation has caused me much distress.” 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHr1stpKH
    Othan bowed to the woman and turned back towards the direction of the doors. Once he’d left the garden and entered the castle hall again, another fairy approached him. Her short brown hair glistened under the floating lights and her piercing blue eyes glinted with anticipation. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUHr3xBMnC
    “How did it go?” she questioned. Othan shook his head. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRkAvxrrmA
    “She’s onto our plan. Any hope of taking over peacefully will not work. We will have to go with our second option,” he answered as he walked past the girl. She followed close behind him. 60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2V8bKpMoB
    “Oh goody! I was hoping we’d get to follow through with that plan. I’ve been craving some action in this boring place lately!”60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFXUTNGSgr
