Song Bird

A Fae in the Life

Fae stands outside Blake's door. She looks at it for a brief moment before walking away. Eventually, she stares down at the gates standing before her.

Walking into a lower level, the smell of fruit and pies fills her nose immediately. The several apples in the architecture drawing Fae's eye "Geez I forgot how much the people of the gates LOVE fruit" Fae thinks to herself a small chuckle escaping her lips as a smirk forms only for it to fall seconds later as screams of pure terror fill her ears "PLEASE STOP!" A young girl's voice screams out. Fae's eyes fill with black, her wings shifting to six points, her hair falling out of her buns as she runs towards the voice only to see two royal guards holding swords to a small orange hair girl with green wings who cries in pure terror suddenly Fae's voice cuts through the air "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING" she yells the two guard's weapons fall the guards fleeing Fae crouching down to the girl holding out her hands helping the girl up "Honey what happened" Fae says her hair falling as one eye returns to white looking at her with concern "Honey?" When the girl doesn't respond, Fae says, ".. it's okay, you don't gotta speak. I'll introduce myself, okay?" Fae says, the girl nodding. "Well, I'm Fae, the queen's personal guard," Fae explains. "I- I'm Autumn," the girl responds. "Okay, Autumn. It's nice to meet you," Fae says with a smile. "Why don't we get out of here together?" Fae asks Autumn, walking away from the crowd. "Okay, sweetheart, what happened?" Fae asks, crouching down to meet the young girl at eye level. "They... they thought I was stealing," Autumn says, her voice barely above a whisper. "But you didn't.." Fae says, very understanding, "Well, I believe ya, and honestly, seems in character for the guards. After all, being a presumed thief got me my name," Fae tells Autumn, who looks at Fae in confusion. "Okay when I was younger, my name was Celeste," Fae tells the girl.

"And when I was younger being a mythos, people looked down on me," Fae tells Autumn. "people didn't like that I was in the gates. After all, a mythos wouldn't be in the gates in their minds, but there I was, so they called me 'The Fa,e' which I took o," Fae explained, Autumn looking at her in slight confusion. n "Got a b carried away there, I guess," Fae tells herself. "Tell ya what, you come with me, and you'll get a permanent home," Fae tells her. "Deal," Autumn accepts, a slight grin on her face.

Standing besides Fae Autumn stares at the stairs towards her new home a hopeful look on her face "Well what ya saying ready to go home hun?" Fae asks, holding Autumn's hand and walking out of the gates
