Fairy Rock

Chapter 65: Tevin's Sorrow

The clouds stop raining. All the purple in the atmosphere has evaporated, and the sky returns to its baby blue color. The lone orange star shines again throughout The World of The Fairies.

All the demonic spiders crawling on the ground freeze in their place and keel over, turning into ashes as the wind blows.

At the mountain's edge, Tevin stands over Queen Vanessa's corpse as she lies near thousands of dead insects. He pulls Serenity's sword out of the queen's back, and she shrinks to the size of a bug-sized fairy. He quickly picks the injured Sparkle up. His minuscule fairy friend rubs her sides.

"Tevin, my ribs are broken, and I'm out of pixie dust," Sparkle mentions.

"Don't worry; you are going to be okay. I'm going to pray for you," Tevin replies.

"Ouch," Sparkle whimpers. "Is my mother dead?"

Tears roll down Tevin's freckled cheeks. "Yes, I'm so sorry I killed your mom. Please forgive me."

Sparkle frowns. "Tevin, I'm not mad at you. You had to do it."

A pair of dark red eyes and a big, black shadowy spirit appears across the mountain's wall before the two.

Neither Tevin nor Sparkle flinch this time.

"It's Spencer the Demon Ghost King," Tevin says.

"Mo ho, ha, ha, ha! Congratulations, Tevin Jenkins; you are now a murderer. I knew you had it in you," Spencer laughs.

Tevin vigorously shakes his head. "I'm not a killer. Queen Vanessa was possessed, and she was going to wipe everyone out. I had to stop her."

The Demon Ghost King rapidly flies up and down the sky and then appears before Tevin again. He wags his long red tongue, showing his yellow fangs, and breathes his bloody breath in the young hero's face.

"I'm going to ask you one last time. Let me devour your soul and own you. I will make you the new king of this fairy world, and you can have Serenity as your wife," Spencer demands.

Tevin closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. I must calm down. I know The Demon Ghost King is a big fat liar and a manipulator. I resisted him once, and I can do it again.

"Away, Spencer, in the name of Jesus," Tevin declares.

Abruptly, the soft sound of the harp begins to play.

"No," Spencer says.

The mellow, low-pitch noise of the sacred music causes the cells inside of Spencer to tear apart as his body turns gray, becomes blurry, and splits in different directions.

The Demon Ghost King's face stretches, and his head swells to the size of a hot air balloon. He exhales black magic powder out of his mouth, spilling around the sky, making a snapping sound, and a black magic portal forms.

"Until next time," Spencer states.

The Demon Ghost King slithers into the portal, and it closes.

The music stops playing, and Tevin pauses as Sparkle rest on his shoulder. He looks down the mountain, noticing the black magic river has dried up, and the remains of skulls and bones of humans, ogres, dark wolves, and dragons are lying on the muddy ground.

Tevin turns to his friends. Serenity, Pastor Johnson, Leon, and the Elves sit up with their hair, skin, and clothes drenched in dried-up blood.

Tevin squats down and puts his hands over his face. "It's finally over. I'm so sorry I got everyone killed. My parents, Richard, and everyone's gone. They're gone."

A brown light flickers, and thousands of Angels with harps fill the sky. Denise reveals herself before him.

"The Demon Ghost King escaped from us again. Angels, we will continue to search until we find him," Denise says.

"I'm sorry for my actions of seeking help from Queen Vanessa and for all this destruction. Will God forgive me?" Tevin asks.

"God has already forgiven you. God loves you, Tevin," Denise replies.

Tevin wipes the tears out of his eyes. "I just wanted to date Serenity. Sparkle transformed me into Rock, this amazing, super guy she loves. I realized God made me Tevin Jenkins, and I'm proud to be Tevin Jenkins. If someone doesn't love me for me, then it's just not meant to be."

Denise smiles at the young man. "Congratulations, you've learned your lesson."

Tevin gently rests Sparkle on the rocky, warm black mountain surface and stands back up, putting his hands on his head as he paces back and forth. "Was this whole experience just a test?"

"Life is a test, Tevin. You jumped off Fairy Rock with low self-esteem, searching for answers from an ungodly queen. Through this experience, you become more confident, found Jesus, and yourself. Luckily you have Angels on your side. God is proud of you; every human who died in this fairy world will return to life. You are going home, Tevin Jenkins," Denise says.

Denise and the Angels gently pluck the long strings of their harps. A soft, metallic sound goes throughout The World of The Fairies.

Tevin gets one last glimpse of the blue sky and the fluffy white clouds. The black, orange, pink, red, green, gray, yellow, and rainbow-colored trees have miraculously regrown as the river refills with clear water.

A brown aura surrounds him, Sparkle, Serenity, Pastor Johnson, and the Elves.

Tevin gazes at Sparkle in her tiny, beautiful rainbow-colored eyes.

"Goodbye, Tevin Jenkins," Sparkle says.

"Goodbye," Tevin replies.

Tevin sees his hands and fingers starting to fade as white-light flashes before his eyes as he disappears.
