PURPLE HYACINTH

POWER OF A FAE

"Can you see us, A-Zhan?"

The two ancient looking people standing in front of me are looking at me with hopeful and curious eyes. They're oddly familiar but too unknown to me at the same time. What am I seeing right now? Is it real? Or am I dreaming? Just like I've been having for the past year. Which is one of the reasons I came back to China to settle down and focus on something else for a bit. But that dream is right in front of me and it feels to real!

"It is real my dear. It's not a dream." Mrs. Jiang or better yet, the woman looking like Mrs. Jiang told me with a little smile gracing her lips. She looks too out-of-the-world.

"Did you just read my mind? Who are you?" To say that I'm shocked will be an understatement. I'm beyond shocked. I'm stunned, stupefied.

"So you can see us. Good. And no she didn't read your mind. You said it out loud my son." The green eyed and green haired Mr. Jiang said.

Their voices are familiar. But I feel really hesitant to approach them or to believe them. Can I?

"Zhan, say something."

"Mrs. Jiang, I-" I couldn't finish it.

It feels overwhelming to know that the people you've been staying with are not who they seem.

"I don't know. I feel like I don't even know you guys. Who are you? Why do you look like this? Why do you look like the people I've been seeing in my dreams?"

Mrs. Jiang looks at Mr. Jiang and as if they talked and understood each other. It looked like they had a conversation with each other just by looking at each other.

"You've been having dreams?" Mr. Jiang starts coming closer to me and I took a step back. "It's ok Zhan. Were the same person we were. We're the same person you know us as."

"What is happening? I have too many questions I don't know the answer of." My distress couldn't be more evident. I've been growing up with them and it's natural I have questions, a lot of it, when I see them as these ancient people. "What are you?"

"We are faes. And you are too, Zhan."

"The snow fae queen to be exact. At least a rebirth of her."

"Snow fae queen?"

"Yes, my son. The Snow Fae Queen, the last of her kind. Our daughter." Mrs. Jiang's eyes starts glittering with drops of uncontrollable tears. Tears of hope maybe. They think I'm their daughter? Rebirth of their daughter? Who was also the last snow fae queen?

"I am?"

"You are, Zhan!" Mr. Jiang comes to me and this time I felt a familiarity. I didn't move away. Instead I let him wrap me up in a warm embrace and it felt like home.

"A-Zhan! Let's give you back your power."

"My power?" I look at Mrs. Jiang who suddenly has a bubble looking like an ice, out of nowhere. "But I need answers first?"

"You'll have all your answers when you touch it." She guided my left hand touch the odd looking orb of ice after keeping it settled on a wooden stand. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jiang touched it with their left hand with me then connected all our right hands together.

Mr. Jiang started chanting some ancient unfamiliar tune and Mrs. Jiang followed suit. And slowly, the ice orb started getting colder to touch. I didn't know what I should do but my body started functioning on its own. Slowly the ice orb started glowing bright and the room filled up with cold mist. I can't keep my eyes open and involuntarily they close and I find myself somewhere I don't even know, somewhere I've never been before.

I see a tattered hut in the middle of a blizzard and a icy glow covered it saving it from any harm from the raging storm.

The scenes change fast. It turned into a boat where a little girl is sitting with another little girl. One is in pure white outfit and another in a light pink outfit. When the little girl in white looked back at me I felt an electric current running through me. And I don't know why, but I instantly knew that's me, somehow. She turned away instantly and the scene faded.

Next, I saw a green meadow, filled with wild flowers and a teenage girl is running around with a young pony with her. It's the same girl that looked at me before. The teenage girl has her hair undone running wild. She is playing with the flowers and the pony. She's making snowflakes from her fingertips. She's teasing the pony with the snow. And her eyes are ocean blue. And in a distance a teenage boy with red hair is following her every move, sitting on a branch of a tree.

As the scene changes suddenly I find myself in a battlefield. A raging battle is underway and in front of a jade palace stood a crowd of people with hair in the shades of fire. And in front of them stood two people. The man in red hair, and the woman in icy hair. What is happening?

Then a chaos of scenes started flashing in front of me. Jumbles of pictures all flashing at a time. And then it all went still.

The scene in front of me is the same meadow where the snow fae queen was playing with snow and flowers. The red haired man had a jade knife through the snow fae queen's heart. And she has a sad but satisfied smile plastered on her face.

I don't know why I feel this way. I feel all too many emotions at once. My life started flashing in front of my eyes. My childhood, my teenage years. I remembered how one day I just waited and waited for my father to come back home but he never did. I remembered sleeping unfed that day. I remembered going asking for food at people's door. I remembered going everywhere looking for him.

The struggle of not being wanted. The pain of having nowhere to go. Having nowhere to call home. Holding onto hope that someone will take me in when they say it, but nearly being sold at the end.

I feel pain in my chest. Why is it always me?

Why?

Just why?
