Life never felt fleeting, fast, never felt as if it was beyond its reach. She supposed it was because of her lifespan, if that was what anyone would call it. While some fairies lasted up to thousands of years.. Royal fairies could live even longer. Live until killed, that is. Why worry about your time, about your lack of care in the world- if you knew you'd have eternity to do so? Most fairies felt like that, with Dahlia's rulership. His strength protected the forest for hundreds of years, no fairy had a worry of time, how much they had left. The demons were gone, and that was it.

But at the first sign of the Holy War, the great king Dahlia fled. He left her all alone, his little sister to defend the fairy tribe. Suddenly, her life was fleeting. Everyone's life was, and in the palm of her hand. She did what they asked of her, killed the stranded demons- whatever egotistical angels came their way. But she scared them. And no kingdom, no matter the race- would keep a child of chaos in their care.

Y/n wondered if the grass beneath her feet wept, knowing they'd be dried up by winter. She wondered if a bear mourned her cubs during hibernation, losing all that time felt.. Hopeless.

Y/n had felt hopeless now. The wretched queen of chaos was dead to the world. Or to others, sealed away in a pearl. Somewhere within the dried up river stix of the decayed fairy kingdom below Liones.

She lost everything. Her home, her people, her brother, her vision, her time. Everyone she knew was dead, she felt a lack of their auras around the land. 2,000 years- gone. Because she studied the ways of chaos, because she followed the one woman who showed her kindness in this world. It wasn't fair. She didn't want to become queen, and she didn't want to kill anyone. She did as she was told- and got persecuted for it. Time felt long in that pearl prison, darkness everlasting across every point of sight. Y/n had gotten so used to it, that when she finally opened her eyes again.. It was much too bright. Even if she wanted to see the sacred tree again, it would only be a blur.

Anger swept through her, anger for those long gone from this realm. And despair for what she had lost. Nothing her mother could say would aid her now.

Leaves fluttered around the forest, footsteps coming her way. "Are..you alright?" Suddenly there was a lime blob facing her. Her eyes drooped, all that came was a shrug. The boy frowned, "That won't do.. What's wrong?" He took a seat beside her. She held her legs lightly, almost grasping upon her will to continue. Percival watched the saddened girl shrug again. His frown grew longer, "Is it.. That it's too sunny out? It isn't raining? The sun is in your eyes?" He shoved his hand in front of the sun's light. The girl quickly flinched out of his hand's shadow. "Oh- I'm so sorry! I thought that might've been what was bothering you!" He waved his hands, "But wait a minute.. Could it be that you're scared of the dark?" Y/n's eyes tried to adjust to the forest around her again. Percy stepped closer, before intertwining his hands. He offered the fairy a glowing sprite. The glowing blur in front of her peeped and smiled, like the first time she had conjured her own creature of chaos. She knew this boy had none of that in him, but just that little sprite was enough to get her to stand up again.

"I'm Percival." He spoke, a smile visible on his face. Y/n squinted, "Are you.. Perhaps a bird?" The boy laughed, "What? A Bird?! No! I'm a boy!" She tilted her head, sprite in hand. "Are you sure? Percival seems very bird-like. You feel like a bird too. You can tell me, you know." Y/n leaned closer. "You do look like one." "Hey!" Donny popped out from the bushes, kicking another twig to the side. "And who's this girl anyway? You can't trust anyone you find in the forest, Percy." Percival shook his head, "Nono- I'm sure this is a good one."

A smile grew on her face, this boy had thought she was good? Nor wicked or vile. "Well, what's your name- Forest girl?" She hesitated, "Y/n." The little percival sprite jumped in her hand, multiplying in half. "She's not lying about that, at least." Suddenly there was another woman behind her. "Should I be? Is this a game?" "No, but Anne here can tell if you tell any lie- so keep your act straight okay!" Percy put a finger over his lips. Y/n smiled again, the bird boy was charming in a strange way. Maybe that's why she liked him, because he was so strange.
