20th Jun 2009 20:00 this is my story and please don't steal my work.... thanks and enjoy my story
ok i was always an adventrous girl. i explored everything from the branches of my trees to the cracks in my attics. I loved stories but i never knew that some could exsist. Magical stuff.
but there was one place that i never got tired of exploring. whenever i got out of school i would got to this cave that was about a 1/2 mile away from my school. I called it the Black Cave. I don't know why but its been its name since i was 10. And the cave leads to a small patch of forest. Well then it wouldn't be a cave, but the name of this place won't go away.
so i got home from school, and finally it was the last day of school. no more school ment more time to do my Ester Exploration, as my dad called it. So as i was walking home i decided to visit the Black Cave. I needed the peace and quiet , and maybe i would find another trinket or something. So finally i make it to the cave and i always get that sense of relief when i get there. So my steps are slow and steady as i reach the cave. I touch the walls and take in its cold touch. But then i here a crack. i know its not close to me so i run to the end of the cave, and find a broken branch with leaves on it, the leaves were orange, but it wasn't fall yet.... was it? then i realize the leaves weren't orange , they were gold!?so that kinda made me feel crazy so i run to the forest. but the forest was different. It looked different. it kinda had the scifi , forest kinda look. But nobody comes here, im the only one who knows about here. just as im about to go back a voice comes out of no where and says
" hello"
that made me jump but when i looked around no body was there. but then something landed on , my shoulder and said
" wow for a human you don't talk much"
" i can talk..... and what are you?" but i knew what she was, she was a fairy.she was about 6 inches tall, and she was wearing a red rose dress that hugged her figure, and to top it off she had a pair of black slipper like shoes.she was really pretty with her brown hair and golden eyes. I always wanted to see one, even now being 13.
" ok good, cause if you couldn't talk, then we'd get worried. And you should know what i am silly..... oh and I'm Iris, and its nice to meet you Ester."
" How do you know my name? And where am I?"
" Us fairies know names and life stories just at the site of the person. And you should know this place, welcome to Magica Dreamia, my lady."
" Woah, and wait , what? Magica Dreamia? Ain't this -"
" from your dreams? yes, this place is real as you want it to be."
" this place is real alright, but why can i see it now? ive been here many times before..."
" thats right but its time you should why"
" im waiting........"
" We are under monarchy, we have never been that way before. But the cyclops ...... Ok let me tell you the story. Long ago, the Cyclops was just a village member like myself. But then we were ruled by a priestess, she was a very kind a gentle girl, she was just as old as you. She would put her people first before her. She was like the cook at one of those human banquets you humans had.She served the people befroe her. But one day the people decided that someone should be by her side, help take the load off.So then all the men in the land ; from centuars to prisoners even came to see if they had what it would take to be the Priest of Magica."
"wait what prisoners? don't they stay in a cell?"
" a cell ? NOO. we let them run free, they only work for a short period of time."
" how long?"
" oh only a month.the longest was a year, but he learned his lesson."
" ok so what about Cyclops?"
" Oh yeah.Well, when it was his turn , he was so entranced by her beauty that he even forgot where he was. But the preistess was so in disgust with him the she sent him away. After 2 year of being told away He got mad, he wanted revenge, so he kidnapped the priestess and held her prisoner. And now he is our king"
" oh no. Wait what was her name?"
" her name ? Only her closest members knew it. Her name was Rian."
" so i guess you knew her?"
" not closely but i knew it. so would you like to take a walk to the village with me cause you need to ...um..."she pointed to my American eagle tee and ripped jeans and converse.
" oh.....ok . but um...." i pointed to her .
" don't worry i can fly , DUH!" i laughed.
the village was very..... unique.there were people everywhere.well there were creatures as well. I saw centuars, pixies, fairies, gnomes, trolls, everything.They all were in shock at the site of me and then they bowed there heads. I don't know why, but they did.They all came and greeted me and gave me a trinket, they were so beautiful, the colors were like nothing ever seen before, i was about done when a little fairie came up to me and said
" hello my lady. its a pleasure to meet you"
i pointed to my hand and she gladly walked on it. she was so tiny , even tinier than Iris. Her hair was a long blonde and her eyes were a crystal pink.she wore a dandelion outfit that made her look like a ballerina.
" and its a pleasure to meet you, what is your name?"
" my name is Rosalie and i have something for you" she took out of her pocket a little gem, and it was glowing a bright purplish pink and it was in the shape of a rose, it was so tiny i had to have her put it on my necklace for me , i didn't want to break it.
" oh, my gosh. Rosalie this a very special gift. "Thank you"
i gave her a hug and sent her on her way.
Iris came to me and she was crying . i got up off my chair and everybody was surrounding us both.she landed on my shirt and i genlty picked her up as gently as i could. i was about to cry myself as i said
" Iris what's wrong? and whats with your hands?" i held her red hands up and tried to make them feel better, but i think it helped.
"The Cyclopes! He is coming! He is coming to capture you!" and then i saw a gash on her chin.
" Oh no! that can't be good. And what is wrong with your hand? And your chin!?"
" he had his minions captured me.... and that isn't fun to have happen, and i told i would never say a word and this happened.And i spit at him and he smacked my hands. Oh i can't let this happen, we just got over the drought of '96' and he didn't do a single thing and-"
" calm down Iris its ok." i gently touched her chin and then out of the blue, the gash was healed.
" who did you-?" then a little gnome yelled,
" Our next priestess ! she will save us!"
" Priestess? No, i can't be, im only 13!"
Iris was looking at me in shock and then she fluttered off and grabbed a small brown bag.she opened it up , grabbed a handful of dust and blew it on me.And just then i had this some sort of trnsformation, my hair had grown longer , and there were curls any girl would dream of,My blonde curls , turned a very dark brown, my blue eyes turned a very nice color of violet,and my very tall body of 5'10" shrunk down to a normal height, and my jeans and a shirt turned to a very beautiful dress, it was very flowing, and the color was so remarkable and the sleeves were very .....puffy and they opened and closed every few inches or so. and were every i walked plants would form and grow. i looked at myself in a mirror and i almost passed out. my face was so much different and and i had the a flower that wrapped around my face. I looked at everyone and they all just looked at me with ah, and then i screamed
" someone just say something!"
they all stared at me with dagger like eyes. i went to each person and walked around , and as i walked roses popped up and then wilted.Then it hit me. i went to Iris and said
" for a fairy you don't talk much"
" yeah i do , more than you" then everyone started to talk.
" ha ha funny. now you have to train.lady groo will teach you now."
" come along my lady a few friends will help you learn if you want to be preistess.we only have three days."
and for the next few days i had tatar the centuar help me shoot bow and arrows and within hours i was a pro.I had Malaga show me some healing potions, how to make them, stuff like that, And Iris always was helpful. And by the three days they all became family and i was ready.lady groo had taught me the old legends and stories that i should know. This was my true family.
I looked at everybody i know , Tatar , malaga , LaLa, i can't beleve she let me call her that , cause she is like my grandma now. And maybe its cause she was once priestess.
so i turned to Iris and said
" when will he be here?"
" i don't know , but i think you will."
" what?"
" yeah he has a way of finding out that only priestess's know he's here, but i think we all will know when that happens"
" oh..." that scared me.
Then all of a sudden LaLa starts screaming and i do it shortly after. I knew what he had done, Cyclopes chopped the head off a form priestess. Oh god, that really does smell!
" don't tell me......" Iris said
" yeah ...... its..... that " i struggled to say. I was trying so hard to not scream or to throw up.
Then out of the blue a big Green and black Cyclopes starts to come down from the forest , and out comes his minions, a story i never want to hear again.THey were all so ugly , its so hard to describe it.ugh...
" oh its nice to see you Groo, LaLa, Oh and my my we have a new priestess, she would make a lovely editon to my collection" he bounced his bag up and down and made the stench even worse.
he came over and patted my head and srathed my face, a thin line of scarlet came running down my cheek, it hurt, but not alot. i stopped his hand before he could touch my shoulders, and i decided he needed a thorn braclet to match his disgusting behavior.
" never call her that again", i was just about to stick another thorn through him when he said
" stubborn little girl, do you have no manners for royalty?"
" royalty? hmm you must of been mistaken for me. cuz last time i checked i was priestess, not you, and you were some scum trying to be something.huh typical" i looked away.
" what are you doing?"iris screamed
" what?"
" are you asking for a death wish?"
" i guess.... but that will change." i looked back at Cyclopes
i took out a bow and arrow, i tried to imagine it covered in thorns, and when i opened my eyes i got more then i bargined for.hey at least it'll work. i aimed at Cyclopes while he was turned around. i let it go and he screamed louder than a normal being can be able to . It was a screeching pain. Oh i regreted it but i had to.
" How dare you shoot me you.. you mortal!" then he ran to me , and boy did things rumble.even the trees jumped , but weirdly nothing was harmed.
he got to me in a nick of time and then grabbed a knife and sliced my cheek . i didn't feel anything. which was a shocker , cause right about now id be screaming bloody murder. but then he stepped back, and he dropped the knife.he saw that my face healed up easily. Thank heavens for that.
" i... i ... thought."he looked pale
" you got all of them? that they preistess's were extict? well i guess not. now you leave and spare your life or i just start my planting now."
" planting?" "yeah planting. what would like to be covered in, poison ivy, cacti and poison oak, or a bunch of rose bushes? "
" neither.ill leave and take your fairy friend with me."he laughed a sinister laugh and that was really creepy.
he walked over to Iris. She was sitting on a branch. She was scared and she tried to fly away but it was no use. He grabbed by the gut and i even heard an 'umph' from Iris, And then he turned to me and said " when you learn how to treat royalty," he pointed to himslef," like roylaty, you can come get your fairy friend back. You may be a preistess but you sure are doing a ratty job at it."
then he turned around and his ugly minions were right behind them. ugh they were disgusting.I got so mad, i screamed
" iris! close your eyes" and she did,
i tried to imagine one of the arrows covered in flames, to see if i was that preistess from the stroy LaLa told me; the priestess who could control things much more than earth, such as water and wind and fire, i may be that one. So i put as much effort into it and within seconds the arrow was covered in flames. I aimed it at cyclopes. I let go , but sadly enough it hit one of his mionions, stupid minion! you had to save your master!But then i saw that the minion went up in a green flame. Cool!
And all i heard was a faint scream " Ester!"
but within minutes they were gone, i failed, Iris is gone.
i turned around and went back into the tent , i started crying and but which was really cool was that my tears turned pink, and fell to the ground. I saw tatar And LaLa, and malaga. I fell to the ground, and all around me we were surrounded in desert, then tatat came to me and said " preistess, please get up , or we might end in a pool of water,"i got up, as he told me to, then i said " I-I failed! I failed Tatar! He took Iris! " i put my head on his shoulder, well his torso, and felt his silky soft black fur,i looked up into his baby blue eyes and said " shes gone...."
he took me up and grabbed me up by the shoulders just enough were he wouldn't have to get covered in thorns. because that is probably what would of happened. he said " please priestess, snap out of it. WE WILL get her back. " i was able to snap out of it. i took a deep breath in and looked around and saw that we were in a desert. " oh come on!"
" what?" tatar said
" we are surrounded in desert."
" oh, you might wanna fix it ....."
" yeah..." so i knelt down down to the ground and touched it. I tried to imagine a meadow full of exotict plants and goreous colors. when i opened my eyes i got what i imagined. It is so beautiful. i can't explain it.
" oh my...." i looked at LaLa , i ran to her
" what is it LaLa?"
" its beautiful , you're a true priestess......"
