Evermore: Return to Evermore

A Pixie's Home

The place was still dark, yet the sky began to give way to light in this strange world. "May I ask what Evermore even is?" asked Prisma quite confused. She had never heard or seen a thing like what just happened a while ago.

"This is Evermore," said Silverbrook with delight. "But if you want me to speak plainer alright. But I won't say everything because I don't know what has happened around here. Maybe Verona has some spies around, but Crysta please hide the gem in your bag." Crysta hid the gem in the bag where they hid Silverbrook. But when they meant by getting home, they were not expecting this.

"Spies!" gasped Nathaniel but Silverbrook ignored him.

"Let's get to Aleniya Grove that's where I live," recommended Silverbrook. "As for the spies. There are many in Evermore, but I think there were many spies. It's all changed now though. But Aleniya Grove is just a mile or two south. It's almost sunrise by the way."

"Aleniya Grove, isn't that your home with the colored lights and everything?" Lilia asked excitedly.

"Yes, Lilia," smiled Silverbrook, "at least someone didn't bore about my stories."

The others still confused about the situation followed Silverbrook. So far Silverbrook only gave them the answer about what "Evermore" is. Silverbrook said that they would get to Aleniya Grove later. She still didn't say why she called them "your Highnesses" but didn't dare to talk for when she said "spies" it frightened them. It was five o'clock in the morning when they began their journey which made them hungry. At seven o'clock they saw some trees and had breakfast there.

"This is only the beginning of Aleniya Grove," said Silverbrook. "But maybe by noon, we'll get to the Great Oak. If I remember the directions, we pixies make winding paths so we wouldn't be easily hunted by men. Only the elves and rulers of the Eight Kingdoms know the way here."

"Could you make things clearer?" asked Brianna.

"For sure," said Silverbrook, "but remember I won't tell you everything until we arrive at the Great Oak. Because the thing I'm about to say is quite a secret worth keeping. In the Great Oak lives the Fairy Queen Lyetta and the Great Oak doesn't look like an oak at all. Here now Evermore is the place where we live. Many creatures dwell here elves, dwarves, men, fairies, nymphas, hybrids, mages, and many more. Also, my friends needed to fight a war which is why they led us to the portal. Sunshine and Florabell's father told me to look after all of you and hide the past. But if we return, I must reveal your story."

"And what is our story?" asked Sunshine who was getting interested in the tale.

"Didn't I say that not everything is to be heard until we get to the Great Oak," questioned Silverbrook. "Now let's continue our journey to the Great Oak."

After packing and setting out again. Made their journey through the cheerful woods. Birds were singing and the wind was blowing with a cool breeze. The trees were swaying in the wind and sunlight was shining through the leaves. Silverbrook said that they would arrive at the Great Oak by twilight or midnight. Silverbrook taught them a song that she loved to sing.

"These woods look a bit familiar to me," said Florabell, "it also looks like we're heading north."

"Oh dear, I must have taken a wrong turn. No wonder I still haven't seen the Gilron Falls," said Silverbrook.

"Well good news I do hear water maybe it's the 'Galion Falls'," announced Brianna jubilantly.

"It's the 'GILRON FALLS," corrected Silverbrook.

"Show us where you heard it," pressed Sunshine.

Brianna led the way through the woods along with Florabell. Brianna and Florabell were best friends and made an excellent team leading the group. Brianna would lead them to the sound while Florabell would help them through the thickets and trees. They came closer to the sound and saw the beautiful waterfall. Its waters were clear as crystals and the place was surrounded with grass and flowers. When the rays of the sun touched the waters, it was like a mirror but clearer. No animals but birds and deer roamed the place but on the top of the falls hung a big stone yet there was a symbol on it. The image of a fairy (or pixie) holding a lily and two men who looked to be kings one holding a leaf and the other holding a drop of water cupping their hands. Both were facing the pixie and holding up the leaf and the drop of water in their hands cupped together.
