Demelza wondered again how they could be at Nampara Cove and no one saw them. Maggy, Melza and Demelza all headed to the cove. Once there so noticed there it was completely bare. Demelza said, "is it to be just the three of us, there is no one on here." Melza said, "no child all fairies are welcome tonight since it is the summer solstice. Since our lineage is from the water this is perhaps the most important celebration to us. Even though we here in Cornwall have rain all the time in some regions summer brings the rainy season." Demelza thought for a few minutes and looked at the fruit and berries the two older women had brought with them, "we haven't brought very much food?" Demelza had gone to itch her head. Maggy and Melza had put many wildflowers in her hair, she was wondering if they put some wild thistles in there. Melza smacked her hand away, "do not itch you will knock your flowers around you look beautiful to leave it be. To answer your question, we will have plenty everyone brings something to share," she chuckled, "and to drink, the pixies will bring their honey wine, oh what a taste I can hardly wait. As for no one here, I would say they are all waiting on you, Princess." Demelza's brow furrowed did her grandmother have a twitch of bedlam in her brain.

They got to the cove and the three joined hands and all the fairies from the area were there:

Pixies – these are considered to be made from the elements of the earth. Which are Fire, Water which Melza was a guardian of, Air, Earth

Brownies – the helpers of the farm tending to household items but will also help in the barns and farming in general. They seem to help the hardest of workers and the most deserving. They are usually small wing creatures like we have seen in the Caves. But since I am a guardian, I am taller and have more powers and magic, Melza explains.

Elves - Elves are closest to humans in size and stature. They're a bit slimmer but are a similar height they have high cheekbones and angular features compared to humans. Their mesmerizing eyes much like Demelza's

Kobold – These are the elves working in the mine. If you remember from the chapter where Demelza went into Grambler, she heard knocking this is how they communicate with the miners. They can help find new loads and warn of impending disasters

Devas – are the fairies that look like dragonflies, they love being around well-cared-for plants. Which Demelza has seen time and again in her garden.

Dryads – love anyone taking care of trees and nature including its animals. They particularly favor Demelza for her kind spirit for all animals and her care for the land. Their lives are tied to trees if their tree dies or is chopped down, they die with it.

Gnomes- Extremely connected to nature just like Demelza, they too are elementals that care for animals and are natural healers, although they tend to use their powers for animals and plant life.

Sea Witches – Guardians of the sea or water such as Melza, Demelza's grandmother can make it rain or storm on que.

Merfolk – well not land dwellers they can take human form for small amounts of time. They are beautiful men and women and can sing like angels which many are derived from. They commune with humans mostly to save the ocean from being destroyed.

Nymph – there are many different types of these fairies all dealing with nature, but they are beautiful females and are extremely sensual. Many marry humans and once they have their mate, they are committed to them fully. Demelza's lineage showed this type in her lineage.

Seeley Court – Arbiter and judges of fairies disputes. They are benevolent they help humans with their kindness and are extremely beautiful. Demelza is of the Seeley Court she is a princess. They help guard against the Unseelie Courts' harm to both fairies and humans.
