"The porophy calls
For snow of the heart
The flames of hate
The leaves of sorrow
But the last no one can find
For the stars of love are gone
And no magic can bring them back.
The sister of stars holds secrets untold.
A frozen heart holds the stars.
The star child must hold the mark of rose.
The flames of hate grow dimer as time goes on.
Sorrow no longer comes form leaves, but rather a brother unnamed.
Stars will come and banish dark when mother is gone."

After telling me this long, Story?
Levi stopped for a breath.

"So, what does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

"You will understand in time, but all you need to know know is that you are the leaves of sorrow, and your brother has stolen them." he said standing up.

"That makes no sense. like. at all."
I informed him.

He chucked a little. "are you ready to go?" He said.

I nodded.

He grabbed my arms and took off.

About half an hour later he stops in front of a forest.

"Here we are." he says.

I look around.

"It's just a regular forest." I say, a little confused.

Levi began to walk to a tree. and then walked through the tree.

I stood there, staring at the tree in awe.

Levi's head popped out of the tree.

"Are you coming?" He said.

I walked through the tree.

"What the hell." was all I could say.

We where now inside of a city. well it wasn't really a city, the buildings where made out of giant trees, and everything was covered in flowers.

People with huge wings and tiny bodies walked by. none of them stopping to look at the people who had just appeared out of the trees.

"Welcome home Sara." Levi said, his voice soft.

When Levi said my name one of the people near by stopped and stared at me.

"Wait Sara? The Sara?" they whispered.

Levi nodded to them.

The man suddenly burst into tears.

"Everyone! Rejoice! Sara has come home!" He yelled.

Almost instantly everyone within earshot came running, there faces smiling.

"WHAT DID I DO!" I said hiding behind Levi.

Levi turned his head to me and said "like I said your the leaves of sorrow, your their saver."

"I don't know what that means, but can we please go." I said.

"Fine." he said, and lifted me into the air.

We flew through the city, passing over the heads of people, who all seamed to not notice us.

Eventually we reached the heart of the city.

How did I know it was the center of the city?

Because there was a giant statue of a woman in battle armer.

We flew into one of the buildings and landed.

It looked like an apartment.

It was beautiful. there where soft moss rugs, the floors where made of branches that had grown into floorboards, huge stumps carved into chairs and tables, flowers along the wall that glowed, and the best part was the window.

The window had a view of the statute.

The way it was positioned made it so the face was looking through my window.

"Where are we?" I said, stairing in awe.

"This is your mother's old house. but it's yours now. your mother will never come back." said Levi, a bit of sadness in his voice.

He put his hand on my shoulder.

"but anyway, You missy are very lucky.
Only Alfhiem's best get to live this close to the statue." He said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

Levi walked over to the window and said "because, that statue, is the only physical embodiment of the first Fae."

"So the first person with wings." I said.

Levi shook his head. "No not with wings." he said.

"Wait a hot ditly darn minute. you mean to tell me that there
are other... things, out there." I said, almost shooting out of my chair.

Levi chuckled and nodded his head.

I let that sink in for a moment.

Levi stood up and said "anyway, I have to head beck to my place. I'll come check on you tomorrow, and in one week your starting school."

And with that he was gone.

For the next hour I wandered around the apartment.

There was a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms, one bedroom, and one room full of plants.

Weird.

I'm the bedroom I found a dresser full of old clothes.

There where silk shirts and dresses. black leggings and pants, and oddly, lots of clothing dating back to the early 1800s.

Thankfully they where all around my size.

There was also a book shelf.

I skimmed through the books on the shelf.

The Harry Potter series, a guide for flying, history of the seasons, spells for beginners, Ender's game, curses 101.

"This needs some Percy Jackson." I muttered to myself.

Eventually the sun began to set, so I headed for bed.

I tryed to make myself comfortable but the bed was to hard.

After an hour of tosing and turning I got up any went to the living room.

As I walked the moss I stepped on glowed different shapes of blue and green.

I say on the window and stared out at the statue.

In the dark she seamed to glow a soft white color.

Eventually I got creeped out by her staring at me, so I got up.

As I was leaving I thought I heard someone whisper.

"Please don't go. I want you to stay."

I turned around be no one was there.

No one but the statue.
