YOU SMELL LIKE AFTER THE RAIN

YSLATR

In the world of FAIRYLAND, there lives a Fairy girl named Isqesis. She is not some kind of a princess in their kingdom, but rather she is being fear, because of her unique wings. It is different from the others. It has the colour of ash grey, like a fog. Eyes are red to pitch-black. Taller than the normal height of the fairies, and so with this she lives far away from the other. There in the depth of the forest, where dangerous creatures can be find is where she confines, alone. Building her own small house on the top of the very tall tree in the middle of the forest where she can see the whole place. Branches of trees that are all huge and creepy. Whether it is morning or night the fog stays in the forest keeping it cold and empty. The king and queen of their kingdom declared that she is a threat to the Safety of the normal fairies as she possess the deadliest power, she has the entire Element in her. Fire, water, Earth, Air, Mind, and Light. It is rare for a fairy to have such power when she is not even part of the royal family. The fairy forbid her from entering the Realm of the fairyland. Isqesis had nothing to do on that early morning. She is just sitting on the balcony of her house. Watching the crows fly from there to there. The sunlight hits her gloomy face as she stares at it directly. One of the crows went to her and rested in her arms. She let it rest and she hum a song. Her voice slowly resonates inside the dark forest. The sound of the leaves dancing followed the rhythm of her hum  As the wind blows. She then flew and dance in the air, birds came and dance too, she continues to hum and she Flap her wings, particles of sprinkles in color of ash grey and green came out from her wings that even adds more the beauty of her dancing in the air, until then she heard a rusting sound in the bush under her so she stops humming and burn the bush with her mind. To her surprise, there was a Lady come out from it shouting, emitting the fire from her shirt. Isqesis quickly turn herself invincible. She is not sure if the human saw her. However, it is impossible for a normal human to see a fairy like her. She observe the Lady from a far until the fire emits. The Lady hysteria when she look up again and the fairy is gone. She look around and she smells it again, the smell that brought her into that place. She followed the smell with her eyes close. Isqesis could not move from she is, amaze by the sense of the Lady. Too stunned to take a breath. Her cheeks blush as she saw how beautiful the Lady look like. Until they stood face to face. The Lady open her eyes and then smile. Isqesis had never thought that someone would smile at her so beautifully. With that her invisibility is gone and so the Lady went more closely. She closed her eyes letting the Lady inspect her. She felt a tingling sensation on her neck. The lady kiss her neck and said, “you smell like after the rain, milady” and their eyes met.

Isqesis move away and wipe her neck. She then flew away and went to her dungeon. The Lady was confuse as to why the fairy left her there. She touches her lips and smile; she can still feel the soft short hair from the fairy’s neck. Elia walk aimlessly just exploring the forest. Insects starts coming from her since it is almost dark. She is not scared at all. She pick a stick and use it to remove the spider web when she move forward. The owl hoot and crows crook. Until the sun replace with the moon. The moonlit guided her way. She itch her arms when an insect bit her there. Even though the place is so creepy, she did not turn back to go home. There is no one looking for her though. She rather be lost in a dark forest than to be with the people who treat her bad. She found a large tree and plan to rest. She do not care if some wild animal will eat her flesh as she sleeps. The fogs did not  Succeed in covering the view of the sky and stars. She pointed the stars and starts humming the same song that the fairy hum. She then fall asleep and the fairy found her under the tree that she was staying in. how could this little human find her. She went closer to see the feature of the Lady. Her wings grow huge and covers them both as she move a little more closely. She felt something stirring in her stomach that made her wings produce shallow colors. White particles sprinkles and some landed on the Lady’s face. She quietly lick the particle on the Lady’s face. Her eyes bubble when it taste different when she tried licking the particle on her own skin. She tried it repeatedly until it went hard and the Lady Move stiff and groaned. She did not care if the girl will wake up as long as she taste her face. Then Elia opened her eyes when she smell her favorite scent. Shocked of what she saw first thing she pushes Isqesis face away from her and stand up. The fairy was in a sitting position with both of her hands on her side to support her. Isqesis flew towards Elia. Sniffing her face again. Elia did not know what to do. It is like their situation switch from earlier. Then Elia close her eyes too and sniff Isqesis neck again. Her hands move upward and touch Isqesis shoulder to calm her and for her not to move. Isqesis felt the sensation again so she hug Elia and carry her to the top of the tree where her house is. Elia shouts because it is so sudden. She hold tight to the fairy and she saw the sight as they float in the air. Breathless view. Elia face Isqesis and smile. Amaze by the small house of the Fairy, they land on the house and a cold breeze welcome her. She roam her eyes on the inside of the small house. She ask the fairy if she likes to play the flute, but the fairy only tilted her head. She sigh and touches the book on the shelves. Elia opened the book in page 18 and read the line 4,”if there is any truth in the world, it lies when I am with you”. They sit in the balcony of the house and stargazing. As the fairy look up the sky, Elia watches her. It is the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She requested the fairy to hum the song again then the fairy oblige. Elia kept up with Isqesis. They hum together until Elia fell asleep laying in Isqesis lap. Isqesis rub her hair softly and still humming. The birds dance in front of them. Colorful fireflies join in too and so Elia had a very peaceful sleep. The next morning, Elia wake up finding Herself already laying in the bed. It is her bed in the city of the human. She went up immediately and go outside to see if it is true, she is back in her own world. She hurriedly went to the forest that is far from their house, ignoring the anger call of her dad. She do not want to be in that place. She wants to be back at that magical forest. A tear came out of her eyes while running. She cannot feel any tiredness. When she reach the forest, she catch her breathed and go inside. Just as expected, the forest is far from what she saw. She did not loss hope and run deep in the forest. “Fairy! Come out, take me with you!” she shouts as she still running. She tried sniffing hoping she could smell the fairy but no; there is no trace of that fairyland. She felt the tiredness and sat on the huge tree’s roots. Crying aloud, then the rain starts pouring. Washing away her teardrop. Elia looking up but cannot see the top of the tree because of the rain and so is the fog. She stayed there unable to move. She is cold. She waited on the forest for the fairy to get her. Until the rain stops, she stood up and climbed in the tree she could only climb. Moreover, there, the wind hush letting her sniff the smell of the forest. Her eyes widened, the fairy is here, here inside the forest. She is her safe place. Elia loves the forest, and so she loves the fairy, Isqesis.
