Fira
“So your saying that we have to go to Celestial Towers to save your mother?” Nia questions.
“That, or we let her go insane.” I reply. Nia rolls her eyes.
“Fira I want to help you but this book says that it might not even exist… what if we find nothing.” I look into her eyes. This isn’t the Nia im used to.
“We have to take chances. This kingdom needs a queen. And im not ready for the job. Im not being selfish Nia. Believe me. We need to do this!” She looks at me suspiciously for a few seconds and then smiles giddily.
“Alright. I’ll go.”
“Thank you!” I hug her. “We should leave tomorrow” She raises her eyebrows.
“The sooner the better I guess.” She says.
“Exactly.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hear nia at the door and rush down. Im wearing a satin cape and I have one in my hand for her.
“What are these for?” She asks as soon as she sees me wearing them. I shrug.
“A disguise. We want to sneak out with style, right?” She grins.
“Sure Fira. Whatever you say.” We both slip on the capes and hurry out the door. The town is quiet this early in the morning and I feel so sneaky as we head towards the back exit of the kingdom.
We reach the gates just as the sun begins to rise. But right before I slip over the gate I hear Opal.
“Fira, Wait!” I look behind me to see Opal, Dorn, Shatter, Blitz, and Shala. And of course Tice, Shala’s dragon.
“What are you guys doing here!?” I ask in astonishment.
“Blitz spotted you from high in a tree in the forest and came to get us. What are you doing?” Replies Dorn.
“We are going to, well, long story. But we have to save my mother. And that requires saving Shade. And saving Shade requires a journey.” Dorn looks hopeful but suspicious.
“Fira- do you really think you can save a Shadow fairy?” Asks Dorn.
“I don’t know- but I have to try.” They all nod and take in what I’ve said.
“Well we bid you farewell Fira. And good luck.” Shala says. Me and Nia both go around and hug everyone goodbye and they say good luck and then we are back standing near the gate, ready to leave.
“Take care of my mother.” I say. And with that we fly up and get ready to leave.
“Good Bye!” They all call, and with that we are on our way. Nia is next to me. Her wings reflect the light beautifully and the long scarf she has tied around her tail cascades behind her. It’s all because of the light. Nia is a light fairy.
After about half an hour of flying I finally see the silhouette of a tall brick castle ahead.
“We’re here!” I gasp and I pick up speed. The air feels so good as it quickly brushes against my face. We finally see the castle clearly. It’s a medium sized castle made of black bricks. Its actually very beautiful- surrounded by thick green grass and rainbow colored wild flowers. Nia and I land in front and take in the sight.
We approach the large double wooden door to the castle and I have to fly up a few inches to reach the knocker. We stand for a few moments before the door creaks open. Standing there is Violet Roil. Not that I actually know what she looks like but I know its her because of her wings. She stares wide eyed at us for a moment and then shakes the shocked look off her face.
“Hello” She says, obviously very surprised.
“Hi. I’m Fira. We’ve come from Misty Mountains.” I say cautiously… not exactly sure how to introduce myself.
“Oh, Hi!” She steps forward for a moment as if considering to hug us but doesn’t. “So… not to be rude but… why are you here…?”
“We might want to talk in private about it.” Says Nia before I have a chance to respond. I just nod in agreement.
“Ok… do you guys mind if I take you somewhere a ways away?” she pauses, “Well its not that far I guess considering you guys can fly. Usually I have to wait for the ones on foot.” I imagine being the only fairy around and being so… different.
“Sure. As long as its private.” I reply.
“Oh, its definitely private.” She responds. She exits out the castle and slowly closes the door behind her. Then she takes off into the sky and we follow. “Its so nice to be able to travel by air for once. Its just so much more efficient.” She laughs as she cascades through the air.
“I can’t imagine. Having to wait up for them all the time!” Nia says- taking the words right out of my mouth.
“So, Violet,” I come up beside her, “Where was everyone? They weren’t in the castle, right?” I ask.
“Oh no. They went out to swim and catch fish. Well, Jake pretty much dragged mom along.” She laughed, “I don’t know why he was so excited. I mean, he never really fishes. But of course I couldn’t go- I mean with my wings and all.”
“Umm… Jake…?” I ask- not really sure who jake is.
“Sorry- Jake’s my brother.” We are all silent for most of the rest of the trip- just not sure what to talk about. I stare at Violet the whole time, she has beautiful magenta wings and light tan fur. I suddenly wonder something,
“Violet!” I rush up next to her, “What element are you?” She looks surprised at first.
“Element? Well… I have no idea. I can recall talking to the queen one night…”
“My mother.” I reply.
“Oh. Princess Fira then.” She giggles.
“Nia you’re the only one who isn’t royal here.” I tease- she shrugs.
“I got over that fact a long time ago.” She smiles.
“So back to the element,” Continues Violet, “I can’t remember anything of that night. I remember arriving and talking to her. But I can’t remember any of the details!” I’m surprised at this comment. Especially because it seems as if you’d want to know what element you are.
“Are you sure you don’t remember anything?” I ask.
“Positive.” She says. That can only mean one thing. My mother has told me this before, but I never thought it was real. She told me there is a special type of fairy. A very rare type of fairy. An immortal fairy. They can die- but they always come back to life somehow. But the thing is, they are very powerful. If they know they are this type of power they know that they have all the elements. And that is when they can use their power. When they know.
But they can’t know. So my mother must have erased Violet’s memory from that night. Concluding that the only possibility is that Violet is one of the most rare fairies in the world.
We reach a place in the forest and lower to the ground.
“Here we go.” Violet says as she walks into the treehouse. It’s a well-built house within the trees made from cedar wood which smells wonderful. Inside theres a fireplace and furniture.
“This is amazing!” I say, eyeing the whole place.
“Thanks,” Violet blushes, “I spent weeks working on it.”
“You made this!?” Nia asks with amazement. Im just as surprised.
“Yeah.” Says violet matter-of-factly.
“You have an amazing talent Violet, how did you..” I ask but Violet cuts me off.
“… I don’t know. I’ve always had a knack for things in nature.” She grins, “So, what did you need to talk about?”
“A flower. It’s only found here. I read about it in a book, it cures evil. Its like insanely powerful. Do you know anything about it?” Violet looks shocked.
“And may I ask why you are looking for this flower?” She says rudely.
“Its really important.” Nia says, leaving the rest for me to say.
“My mother, she has lost her husband twice and shes going crazy. She wants him- she needs him. Or else she will go completely insane. And then our kindom will have no queen. And without a queen, well, im sure you know what will happen.”
“I understand, but how can this flower help?” By the way Violet’s saying all this, I can tell she knows something, and she’s suspicious.
“My dad- he was turned into a Shadow.” At that note the whole room falls silent. Its as if the whole forest is listening in. Even the birds stop chirping.
“Never say that word in the forest. It knows more then you think.” What is she talking about? What is it? The forest? The forest knows more then you think? “And Fira” She looks at me, “Nia.” She looks at Nia, “If we are going to talk about this we need to be in private- without even the forest listening.”
Author's Note:
Sorry this took so long! But I finally finished it and... well... heres chapter two! I probably wont post the next chapter for a while. We are leaving tomorrow on vacation and we will be gone for two weeks, and I doubt ill have the time to write chapter three down there- but who knows?
Also, Gylfie101/frost is writing the story from the POV of Shala, Dorn, Opal, Shatter, and Blitz and what is happening to them right now. Its really cool O3O http://planetdobutsu.blogspot.com/

Chapter One- The Flower
I am proud to announce the sequel- ~FLOWER OF LIGHT~ Is its name. I have titled the first book ~QUEST FOR THE SHADOW~. The series' name is MISTY WINGS.
Fira
For months now mother has been going nuts. She hasn’t actually gone psycho yet- but im afraid if I don’t do something soon she will. I’m not sure what has gotten into her. We were peacefully running the kingdom when I suddenly found her one day curled up in her room, tears in her eyes, the vile of shade in her hand, muttering unnecessary things to herself while blankly staring into the watery dust of whats left of her husband.
I guess when I put it that way, you can see why shes sad. But she went so many years without him I don’t see why she is suddenly so sad. Maybe after finally seeing him- no matter what state of mind he was in- she just couldn’t bare losing him once again. And she still hasn’t really lost him, because theres something left of him in the bottle, we just don’t know how to get it out.
I slowly walk up the steps, trying not to make much noise. Im not sure why but everything seems slow today and I don’t want to be loud. I hold some food for my mother, whos been huddled up in her room for a few hours now and refuses to come out for dinner. I carry a tray with fresh rasberries lightly coated with sugar, and large walnuts with some sort of seasoning on them. Everything we eat here is always gourmet, with our lovely cooks who want to impress us. But my mom hasn’t been eating much anyways so I haven’t brought her much, ill bring her more if necessary.
I reach her room, the plate still steaming with cooked walnuts. She lays curled up on the padded windowsill staring blankly out of the window, her paws clutching the vile so hard they’re shaking. Her fur is so pale- even more so then it usually is. She turns her head when she hears me enter.
“I brought you something to eat.” I say, setting it down on a small wooden desk next to the windowsill. She doesn’t say anything, and keeps staring out. I don’t expect her to reply, she hasn’t been talking for a few days. She mutters to herself, but wont make any direct communication with anyone. She reaches for a walnut and sucks on its rough coating. I make my way towards the exit of the room when I hear her say something.
“Wait” I turn cautiously, not sure if this was directed towards me. But I meet her puffy red eyes and I know shes ready to talk. “Fira I cant take it anymore. This feeling I have- we need him back. This kingdom needs him. And the thought of having him so close but never doing anything- never trying- never giving thought to him- to bring him back- Fira, I just don’t know what to do…” She breaks down in a flood of tears and sobs her emotions out. Within minutes she sniffles and stares blankly out the window again, as if she had never said anything to me. I don’t see a reason to say anything back to I exit the room, slowly shutting the door behind me.
What does she mean? She wants me to find a way to bring him back? I think about it. Shes on the verge- barely hanging on to reality. Soon she wont be able to handle herself and it will be impossible to change her. At this point- the only choice I have is to try to find a cure- something to bring a shadow back.
The library is the first place I look. Probably the only place here that I have a chance of finding something in. The librarian probably knows something too. He’s very wise and I trust him.
I enter the library. A few people from the kingdom are hanging around- I see Nia looking at one of the bookshelves and she waves. I wave back, but gesture for her not to come over. I’ll tell her what’s happening soon enough.
I see Clark organizing some books not far away. Clark is a handsome fox- with jet black fur and green eyes. He is so strong and his wings are almost golden. But he was a love for books. Hes the wise librarian.
“Clark!” I call to him as I come up to him.
“Hello Fira, its been a while!”
“Theres something I need to talk to you about. Something… umm… very important…” He looks a little shocked but very amused.
“Follow me.” He flies towards the back of the library. I follow. We wind through bookshelves and finally stop in a book isle with books about plants. Hi touches the ground thoughtfully and a small door appears. He slides it open and we both descend into a little room. Its empty and smells like it hasn’t been used in a while.
“Now you can talk.” He says.
“Well… You see… Its my mother. She wants Shade back. But its more then just want… it more like need. As if she doesn’t get him back she wont be able to go on.” He looks surprised at the thought. The strong queen backing down at the thought of her long lost husband not by her side.
“Bringing a shadow back is more then just a thing you find. It will be hard to get and will require a journey. Stay here.” She quickly flies up and within seconds is back down with a book.
“Read this. It will tell you everything.” He says.
“Thank you.” I nod and fly up and out of the library.
In my room I ly on my bed and almost rip open the book im so eager to read it.
THE FLOWER OF LIGHT
NOBODY KNOWS IF THIS FLOWER EVEN EXISTS. SAID TO CURE EVIL. USING THE FORCES OF LIGHT. IT IS THE FORCE OF GOOD. SOMETHING BARELY ANYONE HAS SEEN. IF THEY DO SEE IT THEY DO NOT KNOW ITS VALUE. THE FORCE IT CAN HOLD. THE MAGIC IT BARES.
THE ONLY KNOWN THING ABOUT IT IS IT GROWS ONLY IN THE FORESTS OF THE KINGDOM OF AIR AND LIGHT. CELESTIAL TOWERS.
After I read celestial the rest of the text fades, but I know what it talks of. My mother has told me about a fairy from their kingdom who was from here. She now lives as a princess there. Violet. From the kingdom of Celestial Towers.

Sequel Updates
Hi guys- I updated the sequel because I need to take out Willow and Alice from it. Im sorry Willow/Alice- its just that since your no longer part of CT I just don't think I can have you in the story.
Nix is intent on finding a way to bring Shade back- not the Shadow fairy- the old shade. After looking for weeks, Fira thinks she might have actually found a way to bring a shadow fairy back into what it used to be. But to do this, it requires a journey. Celestial Towers is a kingdom that beholds a flower in its forests that is said to be able to turn evil to good- shadows to fairies. Fira is determined to seek this flower down. But until she travels to Celestial Towers she has no idea that there are only one of these flowers left and it hasn't been seen for years. But Fira still thinks she might have what it takes to find this flower- I mean she found her long lost father. Violet, who was the last one to see the flower (and knows the forest better then anyone else in the kingdom, except for maybe a few citizens), leaves the kingdom with Fira in search of the flower. Bringing Oakfire and frost along the gang sets out to find a flower that is said to be non-existing.
What Fira doesn't realize, is the Shadows aren't letting her take Shade without a fight. They have been tracking the gang down and soon meet the shadow clones (could someone tell me more about shadow clones?). It soon becomes a race to who can find the flower first. And if Fira doesn't find it she will lose her chance to bring Shade back. And secretly, Fira isn't just doing it for her mother, she wants to meet the father she never knew.
Faced with impossible challenges, Fira, Nia, Oak, Violet, and Frost begin the sequel to Misty Wings.

Chapter Nineteen- Return
Fira
My mother held the bottle of Shade in her hands carefully.
“Do you think it would be possible to transform him back?” She mused. I gave a slight smile, knowing that she was hoping for the impossible.
“Just be happy he’s gone for now… we can think about stuff like that when we’re back. For now we need to get out of here, and we can’t leave without Nia and Shatter.” We both looked over at them. They both looked so embarrassed. Opal and Blitz had already transformed back but Opal hadn’t found a way to transform them back. But we knew there had to be a way. But how?
Suddenly Blitz screamed. I whisked around to see her back paw stuck in a crack in the floor. We all helped her out. The crack began to spread, and parts of the floor crumbled into the room below. We looked down, and Dorn let out a sharp breath. Below there was a pool of green slime. It was bubbling and let out a stench that was more then most of us could handle. We took a few steps back and flew high to get away from the smell. But Dorn didn’t seem phased.
“I know what this is. I read about it as a kid. But I never knew that it was… this.” He exclaimed staring down at the mass of green slop. “I think we’ve found what we were looking for.” He conjured up an ice cup with his hands and flew down, scooping up some of the green slime in the ice. He looked over at Nia and Shatter. He set the bowl down and looked intently at them.
“Cover yourselves in it. It will work.” Nia flew farther away from it, not sure if she trusted him enough to bathe in bad smelling green slime. But shatter had a bond with Dorn, and willingly flew forward. She dipped herself in the goo and rolled her round minion body around in the bowl until she had a thin coating of green on her messy fur. She flew up, barely able to stay stable with the heavy slime coating her. Suddenly she dropped to the floor with a thud and within seconds she was Shatter the fox- still covered in green slime. She looked at us with a shocked look.
“I feel like that pond.” She exclaimed and stuck out her tounge for enthusiasm. We all laughed, and now it was Nia’s turn.
After Nia had transformed back, Nix washed the goo off them with some water and we headed out the castle. We decided to just fly out the windows.
After Blitz creaked open a window we started our journey home. We stopped a few times but eventually reached the gates.
Misty Mountains- my home, my kingdom- looked like an old deserted town. Every house had its curtains and shutters closed and there was no movement in sight. Not even a flutter of wings. My mouth gaped at the sight.
“Where is everyone!” I exclaimed, baffled. My mother looked just as surprised as me.
“They must be here-they-I don’t know….” She trailed off, too stunned to talk any longer. As we flew through the kingdom we saw a shutter open in one of the houses and a face look out. They looked surprised, shocked, relieved, and happy all at the same time. They closed the shutters again and then all at once the whole kingdom awoke. Doors opened from all over and fairies rushed out and flew over to us. Within minutes it was as if the whole kingdom was crowded around us, talking wildly and asking questions. My mom looked surprised but then she took a deep breath and spoke to her kingdom.
“Much has happened in this past week! But we are alright now. We have no king, but a new leader. My daughter Fira will help me take care of our kingdom!” Cheers surrounded me as thoughts raced through my head. But eventually I put together my jumbled thoughts and ideas.
Much has happened in this past week. We saved my mother. Me, Nia, Shatter, Dorn, Opal, and Blitz. We defeated Shade. And now we were holding him in a bottle. But everything was alright for now. And me and my mother will lead the kingdom, me, my mother, and I.

Sequel!?
Well, I don't know if you guys have noticed but I have changed the name of the blog to 'misty wings- a series by adbout'. Its exciting to be nearing a new book in the misty wings series. Im sorry I haven't posted the next chapter yet, I am almost done but I probably wont post the chapter until tomorrow so I can let you guys read this post. I have come up with an idea for a sequel. Willow- I really liked your idea of merging Celestial Towers with Misty Mountains. I give Willow credit for that idea.
Also I will probably write a few more chapters before concluding the first book- although im not sure. Anyway, heres my idea for the sequel:
Nix is intent on finding a way to bring Shade back- not the Shadow fairy- the old shade. After looking for weeks, Fira thinks she might have actually found a way to bring a shadow fairy back into what it used to be. But to do this, it requires a journey. Celestial Towers is a kingdom that beholds a flower in its forests that is said to be able to turn evil to good- shadows to fairies. Fira is determined to seek this flower down. But until she travels to Celestial Towers she has no idea that there are only one of these flowers left and it hasn't been seen for years. But Fira still thinks she might have what it takes to find this flower- I mean she found her long lost father. Violet leads Fira to Willow, who was the last one to see the flower. Bringing Alice, Oakfire, Willow, Violet and frost along the gang sets out to find a flower that is said to be non-existing.
What Fira doesn't realize, is the Shadows aren't letting her take Shade without a fight. They have been tracking the gang down and soon meet the shadow clones (could someone tell me more about shadow clones?). It soon becomes a race to who can find the flower first. And if Fira doesn't find it she will lose her chance to bring Shade back. And secretly, Fira isn't just doing it for her mother, she wants to meet the father she never knew.
Faced with impossible challenges, Fira, Nia, Opal, Alice, Oak, Willow, Violet, and Frost begin the sequel to Misty Wings.
How do you like it? Im sorry I cut out so many of the previous characters. But I figured since most of your characters from CT are in it you wont mind. Please leave your comments!
Also I will probably write a few more chapters before concluding the first book- although im not sure. Anyway, heres my idea for the sequel:
Nix is intent on finding a way to bring Shade back- not the Shadow fairy- the old shade.

Chapter Eighteen- Nix
Fira
Her front paws were chained to the wall but she still had room to move around. She struggled in the chains as she stood looking at shade sternly.
“Im back!” Shade teased in a mocking tone, “Are you happy to see me?”
“I have no other choice.” Grimaced my mother. She turned her head away from him. He walked over to her and turned her head to face him.
“You will love becoming queen.” She coughed as dust hit her in the face from his hands. He was like a tornado in the shape of a fairy. Suddenly I felt shatters hand yank me and I fell back behind the corner in the wall. I sprawled out, letting go of Shatter’s hand. I looked over and saw that Shatter had hit a minion and fell back, sending Nia, Dorn, and I sprawling to either side of her. It took me a few moments to realize that I wasn’t invisible anymore. A few minions had noticed us and they were staring wide-eyed. If only Opal were here. She would be able to turn us into minions. But she was out the door with Blitz. Had Shade heard us?
Yes. He had. He turned the corner just as I stood up. He grimaced and looked so angry I thought he was going to kill me.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?” He yelled. I stepped back a few inches away from him. He came forward. I flew up, my wings going as fast as possible. My wings were flaming, literally. It’s what happens when I go fast. Flames flew behind me as I flew as high as I could in the tall room. Shade appeared in front of me. Oh no! I had forgotten that Shadow fairies could disappear and reappear anywhere they wanted. I backed away from him but he flew forward. He tackled me and I found myself sprawled out on the ground, spitting dust out of my mouth. He appeared above me, practically flaming with anger. I prepared a fire ball behind my back and whipped my paw in front of me, sending the fire ball straight at him. It shot through his stomach, leaving a scorching spot in his cloak. His body quickly repaired itself, but it made him even more mad.
“Who ARE you?” He bellowed. What was I supposed to say? Quickly, Nia covered for me.
“Why do you care!” Screamed Nia, “Leave her alone!”
“You want to interfere, do you fairy?” He grimaced and shot a ball of dust her way. It encircled her and suddenly she was on the ground fighting the litter of dust that was encircling her. When it subsided she was sprawled out on a ground. He had turned her into a minion.
“What did you do to her!” I screamed.
“I can do the same to you!” He yelled, threatening me.
“No!” I heard Nix scream from around the corner.
“What do you care!? We don’t want these fairies ruining our plans!”
“They aren’t my plans! And that’s my daughter your talking to!” He waved his hand and chains appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around my paws and attatching me to the wall.
“Well in that case welcome to the family!” He muttered enthusiastically. My mother put her head in her paws and started to cry.
“This isn’t the Shade I once knew.” Dorn muttered to himself from across the room.. Shade turned his attention on Shatter. He turned her into a Minion too and caged them both up. I felt helpless, but probably nothing compared to what they felt, being caged up. I set my fiery eyes on Shade. He rolled his eyes.
“Looks like I’ve already defeated you. Now what to do, what to do…” I suddenly remembered Opal and Blitz. Where they ok? Had they ran away? Where they waiting outside? They needed to come in now. As if on que two minions creaked open the door and lazily flew in. I knew it was them. Shade barely noticed them but Opal flew to where Nix was and released her chains, but Shade kept his eyes fixed on me. He shook his head.
“Brave little princess thought she could defeat me? Well that’s a shame.” Nix flew above shade without him noticing and pummeled him with gallons of water. He collapsed into a puddle of dust, stuck within the water. My mom came over and hugged me. She released the chains and looked at me, her eyes filled with tears.
“Hello Fira.” Was all she could make out before she embraced me in a big hug. Opal and Blitz transformed back. And Blitz quickly transformed a leaf into a bottle and collected Shade’s remains.
“Is he dead?” Asked Dorn, completely mystified. Nix smiled.
“Shadows never die, yet they never really live.” I finally got the chance to study my mother. Her light tan fur looked completely untouched and her light blue eyes were sparkling. She wore a pendant around her neck- a blue gem given to her as a gift from Shade long ago. She still wore it to this day. She must have really loved him.
Authors Note:
One thing I struggle with is the Climax's in books. I just cant seem to make the Climax exciting. At least not as exciting as I wish. I am going to write one more final chapter and then im hoping to write a sequel. Alice, I think I will have Drayven enter the story in the sequel. I want some ideas on what the sequel should be about. I still have some ideas but I want to hear from you what would interest you the most. Leave your ideas in the comments! I will wait for a few comments before the next chapter.
Some of my ideas:
- The kingdom has gone into chaos when they return and the story revolves around that.
- One of the subtopics in the story could be Dorn and Shala (Have you noticed them flirting? XD)

Chapter Seventeen- Shade
Chapter Seventeen- Shade
Fira
Something inside of me knew it was a shadow fairy. Not because he was made of dust, or because he was all black. It was because of the way he moved, the feeling that came along with it. It gave you chills. As he passed you, you could sense the darkness about him. It gave you shivers and you knew that something about him wasn’t right. But when I saw that he really was a shadow fairy, I knew we had found him. We had found Shade. We had found my dad.
I glanced at the others. They looked shocked and their faces were pale, which didn’t really seem possible since we were big black balls of fur. But somehow it was.
Nia glanced over at me and we both got the others attention. Silently we all sort of nodded at each other and decided we were going to follow him.
We slid against the wall a few feet behind him being as quiet as we could. The air wreaked of a sewer-like smell and dust from his body kept blowing behind him. I wanted so bad to turn back into a fox. I felt so gross and I wanted my power back. I had already figured out that I couldn’t use my power as a minion. I would have to turn back into a fox.
He finally came up to a room. The door looked exactly like all the others we had passed- dark green with moss growing around the corners. Was this the room where my mother was?
When he opened it there was light inside. We all ducked behind a wall as he entered the room. He glanced around to make sure nobody was watching him and his minions going into the room. What was in that room?
He shut the door behind him and we were finally all alone in the hallway. Everyone stared at one another, unsure of what to say. I was the first to speak.
“Nia can you turn us invisible? I’m going to go in the room.” I asked. Nia looked worried.
“Well… the thing is that I have to be touching the person to make them invisible.” Nia said.
“Could we link paws? You aren’t touching us all but we are touching each other…” I proposed.
“Hmm…. Well… I guess it would work. It would take a little more energy but I could do it.” She looked hopeful.
“Wait!” Cried Blitz, “If we’re going to be invisible then can’t we turn back into foxes? Please?” Opal nodded.
“Sure!” And within moments I was a fox again.
“Now Lets Try!” So we linked paws. I was on the front end with Shatter next to me, then Dorn, then Nia, the Blitz, then Opal. Nia closed her eyes and suddenly I felt a tingle through my body and suddenly I couldn’t see Shatter anymore, but I could feel her.
“You disappeared!”
“So did you!” She replied. I couldn’t see anyone else either. But within a few minutes I could see them. I guess it took some time. Since I was invisible, I could see others who were invisible.
“Lets go in.” And so I neared the door, dragging everyone else with me. I pulled on the handle and it creaked open. I hurried in without looking at what was inside the room.
“Minion! Close that!” Yelled Shade. He looked mystified.
“Y-Y-Y-Yes m-master!” The minion scurried over and shut the door, cutting Blitz and Opal off the chain and out of the room. I took some time to look around the room. The walls were gray brick and there were chains everywhere. Many minions were around making sure everything was doing ok. Shade turned a corner in the large room and I rushed to follow him. I almost screamed when I saw what was in front of me. We had found my mother.
Author's Note:
Eeeek!! So suspenseful! I thought it might be cool to suggest what is happening to her mother. Comment what you think is going to happen next or suggestions on what should happen next. Your idea might just become the story! I will wait for a few comments before I post the next chapter.

Chapter Sixteen- Minions
Fira
Shala looked at us.
“I’d better get going. I would love to help further- but I can’t risk it. If something happens to me the forest is at risk. And I can’t let that happen.” We all nod. She flies over to Dorn and gives him a slight kiss on the cheek and whispers something into his ear. And then she waves to all of us and flies away into the forest. We all look at one-another.
“The question is,” Dorn asks, “How are we going to dress like those creatures.” The creature had already went back into the castle but we all knew what he was talking about. Opal looked at us, she looked a little scared, and a little intrigued.
“Why dress like them when we can be them?” She proposed.
“Nice idea sweetie, but we can’t just be them…” Dorn drifted off in thought. I felt bad for him. Sometimes he seemed lonely. But Shatter looked after him, as he looked after Shatter. After our conversation we had had earlier I knew we couldn’t be afraid of Shatter anymore…
“But how, How could your curse just be gone?” Nia Wondered.
“It had something to do with the smoke. I went in. And without meaning to I helped Blitz. Maybe helping a fairy broke the curse? I don’t know. But I feel different. Heck, im actually talking to you.” We all laughed. I knew that Shatter hadn’t totally changed, but at least we knew she didn’t want to kill us.
“Im more powerful then you think.” She winced, as if this was hard for her to admit.
“I can help you guys to shapeshift.” We all raised our eyebrows.
“Oh really?” Dorn questioned. Opal narrowed her eyes. Suddenly we felt a gust of wind and Dorn disappeared. Within a second he popped back into view- he was one of the creatures!
“What have you done to me!?” He screeched in a high-pitched raspy voice. We all started cracking up. Opal grinned.
“Now who’s next?”
Within a few minutes we were all black balls of fur with wings. It was weird. I felt like I was too heavy for my wings, and it was a miracle that I could keep myself flying. We heard someone scream from inside the castle.
“Minions! What are you doing? Get back in here!!” We looked around for the minions but as far as we could see, we were the only ones here.
“I think we’re the minions” Whispered Nia. We all nodded, knowing that she must be right. We heard the person who had yelled earlier say something to someone else,
“Go get them back in here!” And we heard the door creak open and a big minion with dark eyes and ruffled fur bursted out. He made weird screeching sounds as he neared us and hurried us all back into the castle. We flew awkwardly towards the castle. I knew that we looked like minions, but I was still scared that we were going to get caught. The minion shook his head in disappointment as we neared the castle.
“What do you think you guys were doing?” Thankfully, he continued talking before we had time for reply. “No leaving the castle. And that’s FINAL.” We all nodded and I looked over at Blitz the Minion (just regular blitz except she’s a minion) who looked like she was on the verge of cracking up. The minion led us into a room with shaded in windows and a bunch of old weird furniture. The minion turned around.
“Well what are you following me for? Be off!” He must have been the lead minion because he seemed like he thought he was the boss. We all fluttered out of the room into a dark old brick hallway. We needed to blend in until we found a plan.
“Umm…. Should we just fly around?” I asked our group. I had seen a few minions just flying around the hallway.
“I guess so…” Opal said. So we just started flying around. But we all stopped when we heard talking coming from down the hall. We ducked into a corner just before they came by.
2 minions were guarding a thin and tall fox. He wore a large cloak that drooped all over him and his eyes were dark. But I almost screamed when I saw a glimpse of his body. It was completely made of dust.
A shadow fairy.
Author's Note:
So I made a picture of all the characters in the story, excluding Nix. I would have put Nix, the queen, in except there were only a certain amount of people I could put in. I posted the picture under the 'about' page. Tell me if you like it! :)

Chapter Fifteen- The Castle
Fira
The hole kept getting deeper and bigger. It spread through trees and trees fell into it. I wasn’t sure what was happening but I flew higher for safety. I could see that the hole was probably about 20 feet big now and it just kept getting bigger. For many long minutes we waited for the hole to stop getting bigger and deeper. It finally did but by that time it was about 100 feet each side. We were so high up and the hole looked like a huge black spot in the middle of a beautiful green forest. Nia almost flew down into it but I clutched her arm.
“Wait.” She looked up at me and nodded. We waited for something to happen.
“Fira, are you sure we shouldn’t go down into it, I mean it might be a—” A loud rumble from below us cut her off and we all stared down as a huge black mass began to rise from the hole. It rose and rose almost up to where we were and as it rose I knew it was a castle. A jet black, old castle. We heard a piercing scream and then the forest was silent and still. The castle stopped growing, the birds stopped chirping, even the trees seemed to stop their leaves from blowing. But within a few seconds it all went back to normal again. We all stared at the castle. Blitz was the first to speak up.
“The smoke, the cracks, the noises, the darkness. It all adds up. The Shadows are trying to rise.”
“Or the Shadow.” I muttered, reffering to my dad. Blitz looked confused but I waved the thought off.
“Now what do we do?” Asked Nia. But at that moment a thought came to me. A memory…
“Mother!” I screamed. We had just been talking a moment ago and now she was lying on the ground moaning and groaning and holding her stomach. Her eyes were rolled back in her head and so now they just looked white. Blood was slowly seeping out of her mouth. I had no idea what had happened. She had suddenly fallen off her chair and started flailing around. She screamed. It was as if an invisible force was trying to kill her.
I cried. “Mother!” I screamed, “What happened! Mother! Mother!” She looked up at me with a look of agony.
“Fira… I…I…” Her voice was weak and I could tell she was having a hard time talking.
“Mother!” I cried. My face in my hands. I felt helpless. What was I supposed to do? Suddenly I looked up. There was black smoke circling my mother.
“No! Mother! W-whats happening!?” I screamed between sobs. The smoke circled her faster and faster and soon it filled the whole room and I couldn’t see anything. “Mother!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. The smoke subsided and I was all alone in my room. She was gone. And I had no idea where she had gone. I put my face in my hands and cried. (chapter 4)
The day my mother had disappeared. She had screamed when she fell. And the smoke- I suddenly knew something for sure. My mother was in this castle. The scream we heard was her scream. She didn’t have much time.
“Guys this is where my mother is. If it’s a shadow fairies’ or not, my mother is in there. She was the one who screamed. And we need to help her.” Everyone nodded.
“But Fira.” Dorn consulted, “We cant just go into the castle. Someone will catch us.”
“But Dorn!”
“Fira. We will have to create a disguise.” At that moment we looked down to see something come out of the door to the castle. It had fast rustic wings and it hung in the air awkwardly. It had really long arms and matted, black fur. It was like a big black ball that had wings. We all looked at eachother and nodded, silently making the decision to somehow get into the castle dressed like those things.

The hole kept getting deeper and bigger. It spread through trees and trees fell into it. I wasn’t sure what was happening but I flew higher for safety. I could see that the hole was probably about 20 feet big now and it just kept getting bigger. For many long minutes we waited for the hole to stop getting bigger and deeper. It finally did but by that time it was about 100 feet each side. We were so high up and the hole looked like a huge black spot in the middle of a beautiful green forest. Nia almost flew down into it but I clutched her arm.
“Wait.” She looked up at me and nodded. We waited for something to happen.
“Fira, are you sure we shouldn’t go down into it, I mean it might be a—” A loud rumble from below us cut her off and we all stared down as a huge black mass began to rise from the hole. It rose and rose almost up to where we were and as it rose I knew it was a castle. A jet black, old castle. We heard a piercing scream and then the forest was silent and still. The castle stopped growing, the birds stopped chirping, even the trees seemed to stop their leaves from blowing. But within a few seconds it all went back to normal again. We all stared at the castle. Blitz was the first to speak up.
“The smoke, the cracks, the noises, the darkness. It all adds up. The Shadows are trying to rise.”
“Or the Shadow.” I muttered, reffering to my dad. Blitz looked confused but I waved the thought off.
“Now what do we do?” Asked Nia. But at that moment a thought came to me. A memory…
“Mother!” I screamed. We had just been talking a moment ago and now she was lying on the ground moaning and groaning and holding her stomach. Her eyes were rolled back in her head and so now they just looked white. Blood was slowly seeping out of her mouth. I had no idea what had happened. She had suddenly fallen off her chair and started flailing around. She screamed. It was as if an invisible force was trying to kill her.
I cried. “Mother!” I screamed, “What happened! Mother! Mother!” She looked up at me with a look of agony.
“Fira… I…I…” Her voice was weak and I could tell she was having a hard time talking.
“Mother!” I cried. My face in my hands. I felt helpless. What was I supposed to do? Suddenly I looked up. There was black smoke circling my mother.
“No! Mother! W-whats happening!?” I screamed between sobs. The smoke circled her faster and faster and soon it filled the whole room and I couldn’t see anything. “Mother!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. The smoke subsided and I was all alone in my room. She was gone. And I had no idea where she had gone. I put my face in my hands and cried. (chapter 4)

Chapter Fourteen- Pain
Blitz
My eyes felt like they were on fire. My hair fanned out around my head. I lay coughing on the ground, not really sure what had just happened. My wings were smoking and my leaf-dress was charred on the edges. I couldn’t see straight, but I could make out the figures of 5 fairies. As my vision started to clear I could look at them more closely. I recognized 2 of them- Opal and Shala.
When they saw that I was waking up they rushed over.
“Blitz!” Cried Opal. And that brought back a memory.
I sat in the tree, staring at the charred ground below me. Smoke was seeping out of the cracks in the bare ground. It billowed around the ground under the tree, and I held on tight to a branch on the tree, as if I was going to get pulled in. I stared around the forest, wondering if anyone could see me. I ducked closer into the shadows of the tree, receding away from the smoke. But before I got very far I felt someone grab my wings, and push me forward. As I fell from the branch into the smoke I screamed. The last thing I remembered before I went unconscious was the sound of Opal’s voice crying my name. “Blitz!”
“Are you okay?” Opal asked, jolting me back into reality. I nodded, too tired and surprised to speak. Shala came up from behind Opal. She whispered something into Opal’s ear and Opal took a few steps back as Shala talked to me.
“Im not sure what happened to you Blitz. But I think I have an idea to help.” She flew away into the forest. Opal came up again. I tried to smile, but it hurt to move. Opal set her hand on me.
“Its ok. I know your in pain. Just watch and listen.” She beckoned one of the other fairies over.
“Blitz, this is Nia.” Nia smiled but I could tell she was really worried. She had long blonde hair that was in a long braid down her back. She looked tired and her pale cream-colored fur was dirty. (I know that this doesn’t all add up- hair and fur and stuff- but just go along with it. They are sort of anthro foxes I guess). Her green eyes glittered but she looked tired. She is probably a light or air fairy.
Opal waved over another fairy. Another girl, probably about the same age as Nia. Her strawberry-blonde hair cascaded in wavy heaps over her back. Her fur was a light brown color, and she had stern dark blue eyes.
“This is Fira.” Informed Opal. Fira? That princess of the kingdom so far from here? What was she doing in the forest?
“I know your probably wondering why we’re here and whats happening. Well the thing is my mother disappeared. And we think its my fathers fault. You see, he was a fire fairy. But we have reason to believe he has turned into a shadow fairy. Its hard to explain- he disappeared so long ago. But Opal said that you might be able to help us- you might know some things about nearby shadows.” As she finished explaining, Shala came flying up to us. She held a leaf filled with some type of green liquid.
“This probably won’t taste good blitz but it will help you feel better and ease the pain.” Why was Shala helping me? We had never really liked each-other that much. I had always been a sort of rebel, living by myself and causing trouble. It irritated Shala and she had never really cared for me. I was afraid that she had done something bad to the green liquid. But I figured whatever it was would be better then feeling this pain. I nodded and she dipped the leaf in my lips and the green goop slided down my throat.
I suddenly felt very tired and drifted off to sleep, hearing the sounds of the forest around me.
When I woke up I felt much better. A tall male fairy was talking to opal by a nearby tree and I found myself propped up by a rough pillow on a tree stump. Opal heard noise and turned around to see me awake.
“Feeling better?”
“Much.” I replied.
“Good. Let me introduce you to someone else. This is Dorn.” She held out her hands and gestured toward the tall male fairy. He came up and leaned against a tree. He was very pale all around- pale hair, pale fur, pale eyes. Definetly an ice fairy.
“Hi. Im Blitz.”
“Dorn.” He nodded as he said his name. I suddenly felt something rumbling under my feet. Fira and Nia came rushing over with a purple fox running beside Nia.
“Guys, do you feel that?” Fira said.
“And it started to rumble right after shatter’s amulet began to glow!” Nia added. Shatter must have been the purple fox. She wore an amulet that was glowing red at the moment. When the rumbling began to feel more intense Opal yelled.
“Guys! Everyone get off the ground!” Nia grabbed shatter and her, Fira, Dorn, and Shala all flew up. Opal helped me to stand up and she gave me support as we both flew off the ground just in time. The ground caved in.
Authors Note:
Sorry this chapter took so long! I was writing it last night and then a few hours later I went back to work on it some more and to my surprise my work was deleted and hadn't saved. So I had to start all over again on this chapter. Anyway- I hope you liked it. 2 comments for next chapter! :)
