The Fairy's Poison: FD 2 (Pokemon) ||Complete||

Chapter 34: Retrieving the Queen

Hi everyone, SK here.

First off, a note: this chapter is probably going to be short, just like with the last chapter I've been having writer's block despite me having planned out each chapter with *very specific* bullet points, so my apologies if this seems a bit rushed.  Hope these chapters aren't disappointing for you guys.

Also, not sure if you've checked my bio recently, but I've updated the total chapter count for this book.  The final chapter will be chapter 46, meaning we're nearing the end of the book pretty quickly.  

Anyway, enough of my rambling.  Let's start, please try to enjoy despite my lack of motivation probably showing.

(If you guys wonder why I'm forcing myself to write it's because in April my school schedule switches meaning I no longer have a spare.  So I'm trying to save my reserve chapters for the weeks when I actually don't have time, rather than no motivation.  Also sorry for the ridiculously long A/N.)

So it seems that while Heliux and the others are laying back at the Colony trying to figure out a war plan, I'm tasked with bringing my daughter home.  

A sigh escapes me.  I don't know the whole story as to why she left in the first place, but I do know that her leaving was completely unnecessary.  She herself agreed that she was going to take the Queen's tests as soon as possible (even if I don't want her to do them) in order to cancel the spell she put on the humans.  

"Whatever," I mumble.  What's in the past is in the past, it can't be changed- or at least, it shouldn't be anyway.  She needs to come home and I will do everything short of slapping her to get her back to the Colony and the Queen's Castle.  

The skies are a little cloudy as I set out on my journey.  Long black hair (mine, obviously) finds its way in front of my face as a cold, empty wind blows past.  No matter what, something drastic is going to happen today.  Valerie is definitely going to take the first test, which is world-changing enough; the sky changes to be crazy colours and everything.  

My wings flap and I begin to fly- it's faster to do that anyway.  The sooner I bring her home the sooner all of this ends.

I shiver.

Some part of me doesn't want her to come home.

If she does, she has to take that test.

Potential successors have died during the tests before.

Well, the first test at least.  Less the second.

No, if I think about the dangers surrounding my daughter than I'm going to be slowed down. I need to act quickly, I remind myself as I zip past trees and shrubs.  I'm still in the fairy side of the forest, but I'm going to have to cross over soon- not using the Route, obviously.  The second they see a fairy come out of there the Colony might as well disappear.  We can't have that happening.

An odd thumping noise sounds through the forest, which is strange because the only living creatures in this forest are fairies.  Not even Pokemon live here, so what...

My thoughts trail away as I see human faces poke out of the trees.  I hide behind some trees with large-ish leaves as my breath hitches.  Humans in the fairy forest.  This can only mean- did they find the Route?  Well of course they had to have found the Route, duh, there's no way a fairy would randomly teleport malicious humans here, especially on the verge of war.  Besides, the only person that can really do that well is Heliu-
