The forbidden love

introduction to the fae

Chapter one:

The town of Luminae is hidden deep within an ancient forest. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating a soft, constant glow. The people who live there are white faes, magical beings with pale skin and silver hair. Their eyes, which shine like moonlight, show their wisdom and kindness.

The white magic of the faes is everywhere in Luminae. It creates a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. This magic is used to heal, protect, and help the land grow. Gardens are full of colorful flowers and plenty of fruits because of this magic. The white faes themselves are calm and comforting to be around.

The center of the town is the Great Grove, where the oldest and most important tree, the Heart of Luminae, stands. This tree is the source of their magic. The faes gather here for important events and meetings. The tree glows softly, and its branches reach high into the sky.

The white faes use their magic to communicate with animals, heal injuries, and help plants grow. Their society values harmony, knowledge, and kindness. Everyone in the community helps to keep the town healthy and happy.

Even though Luminae is peaceful, the faes protect their home carefully. The outskirts of the town are guarded by magical barriers that keep intruders out. People with good intentions are welcomed, but those with bad intentions get lost in the forest and cannot find the town.

Valerie woke to the soft glow of bioluminescent flowers outside her window, their light filtering through the delicate leaves that formed her home’s walls. The gentle rustle of the forest greeted her ears as she stretched, feeling the familiar hum of magic in the air. Luminae was waking up, and so was she.

Her home, like all in Luminae, was a living structure, crafted from the branches of ancient trees that wove together to create rooms and pathways. As she stepped out onto her balcony, she inhaled the fresh, earthy scent of the forest, her heart swelling with a sense of belonging.
   "Good morning mum" Valerie said with a smile
   "Morning Val, how was your night?" Her mother replied with a smile
   "Perfect, I'm going to the great grove for morning ritual" Valerie said
   "That's good, I'll meet you there, just need to finish preparing the meal" Her mother said and Valerie nodded.

She descended the spiral staircase that wrapped around the trunk of her tree home and made her way to the Great Grove.

The Great Grove was bustling with activity. White faes of all ages gathered for the morning rituals, their alabaster skin and silver hair glowing in the early light. They greeted Valerie warmly as she joined them, their moonlit eyes reflecting kindness and familiarity. Today, like every day, they would perform the rituals that maintained the balance of their magical world.

Valerie took her place beside her friend Elara, a skilled healer whose touch could mend both body and spirit. Together, they closed their eyes and focused on the Heart of Luminae. As they chanted softly, a gentle breeze stirred the leaves, carrying their words throughout the forest. The ritual was a prayer, a thank you to the land that sustained them, and a promise to protect and nurture it in return.

After the rituals, Valerie and Elara walked through the town, their footsteps light on the moss-covered paths. Luminae was alive with the sound of laughter and conversation. Children played with animals, their innocent giggles blending with the chirps and rustles of the forest creatures. Adults tended to gardens, coaxing vibrant flowers and lush fruits from the earth with their magic. The entire town was a testament to the harmony between the white faes and their environment.

Valerie and Elara stopped by the healing grove, a serene spot where the fays practiced their craft. It was here that Valerie had first discovered her own healing abilities. Under Elara’s guidance, she had learned to channel her magic to heal wounds, soothe pain, and even revive wilted plants. Today, they would tend to a deer with a broken leg, ensuring it could return to the forest strong and healthy.

Valerie knelt beside the injured deer, her hands glowing softly as she focused her energy. The deer’s eyes, filled with trust, met hers as she whispered words of comfort. The magic flowed through her fingertips, knitting bone and muscle, restoring the deer to its natural state. As the animal stood and tested its leg, a sense of accomplishment and joy filled Valerie’s heart. This was her purpose, her gift to the world.

As the sun reached its zenith, Valerie joined the other faes for a communal meal. They gathered in the Great Grove, sharing food and stories. The meal was simple yet abundant, with fresh fruits, bread, and cheeses, all made from the bounty of the forest. Conversations flowed easily, filled with laughter and warmth. It was moments like these that reminded Valerie of the deep bonds she shared with her fellow faes.

In the afternoon, Valerie visited the learning glade, where the young faes were taught the ways of their people. She loved sharing her knowledge, teaching the children about the plants and animals they coexisted with, and showing them how to harness their magic responsibly. Their bright eyes and eager questions always brought a smile to her face.

One of the young faes, a boy named Caelum, tugged at her hand. “Valerie, can you show us how to make the flowers bloom?”

Valerie knelt down, her eyes twinkling. “Of course, Caelum. Watch closely.” She cupped her hands around a budding flower, and as she focused her energy, the flower slowly opened, revealing vibrant petals. The children gasped in awe, their excitement contagious.

As the day turned to dusk, Valerie returned to her home, her heart full from the day’s activities. She sat on her balcony, watching as the bioluminescent flowers began to glow brighter, casting a soft, magical light over Luminae. The stars twinkled above, and the forest sang a lullaby of rustling leaves and gentle breezes.

Valerie knew that life in Luminae was a gift, one that she cherished every day. As a white fay, she was part of something greater than herself, a community bound by magic, nature, and love. She closed her eyes, feeling the pulse of the Heart of Luminae in her own chest, and whispered a silent thank you to the forest that was her home.
