A World Without Feeling

A feeling is an emotional state or reaction. Its a belief, especially a vague or irrational one.
To fall inlove with something incomprehensible or devious. Acting out of pure love or anger and putting your life and others in danger by the choices you make based off of these feelings, but at the same time without these feelings, how would we deal with situations in which they are needed?

That's the world I live in. My name is Ender. I live behind the walls of Algaryon.
And someone took our magic away.

I sat inside the house. I wasn't allowed to go outside for 3 days I was told by my mother. The last day of my punishment is suppose to be the day I leave to see that woman in black. In a way she looked desperate for my help, but maybe I shouldn't go. The Tesseract Realm is a place no one dares to step foot on. I was told it was dangerous and full of black magic. Why would she want me there? Not to mention I am on punishment.

I had nothing to do, but to sit in the dinning room and tap my fingers on the table. I decided to use this time to make my decision on what to do. Risk going out to the Tesseract Realm and disobey my mother's orders or stay home where no harm is to come and stay oblivious to what the woman has in store for me.

"Ahh!" I heard a scream come from the kitchen and ran towards the source. "Mom?! What happened? Are you ok?" I ran over to her. She was sitting on the ground holding her wrist and shaking violently. Blood covered her hand and trailed down her arm. "I-I'm fine. Ah, just... just a minor cut from the knife while I was cooking." She looked as if she was in so much pain and a lot of blood was coming from her so the wound might of been fatal. How can so much blood come from a minor cut?! "Where are you injuried? Please, tell me quickly!" I almost panicked. Ok, I am panicking. "M-My wrist.." She said.

Quickly I moved through the junky kitchen and grabbed three towels and pain medicine. It was very little medicine that we owned, but there is no way I'm going to let her suffer and die.
Die.
That word real upsetted me.

I damped one of the towel and opened the medicine. I honestly wasn't sure what I was doing. I cleaned up enough of the blood on her to find the wound. I poured the substance onto the cut and she screamed out in pain. I was really panicking by this point. I grabbed a dry towel and pressed it onto her wrist to stop the bleeding, but it only seemed to be getting worse! The towel was completely soaked in blood and I even had some on my clothes and hands up. I was trying my best not to let any tears fall. I wore an intense frown upon my face. I took the last towel and it seemed to do nothing for her as well. She seemed to be getting quieter and quieter. Running out of options, I tore my sleeve and wrapped it tightly around the wound. I looked up at her to see her eyes closed and my own widened.

I held her wrist and hand and tilted my head down. I began to cry. How am I going to tell Bun-Bun and Red about this? How are we going to survive with out this woman to guide us? I sobbed.

"Ender?" I quickly looked up to see her looking down at me. "Your.. your alive?" She smiled. "Of course, I just passed out from all the pain." She lifted up her hand and looked at the poorly wrapped wound. "It's numb now thanks to that medicine and you. It's already beginning to close. That's amazing! We need more of this medicine." I stared at her in shock. I was speechless for so many reasons. She looked back at me happily. "Thank you Ender." She touched my cheek. "You've saved my life."

After that little incident, we cleaned up before anyone got home. She was still questioned on her wrist and my sleeve wrapped around it though.
Last time I looked at the wound, it was completely opened. The medicine was meant to numb the pain only. I didn't know it also healed so quickly as well.

I paced back and forth in my room before completely stopping and sighing. All this stress was unhealthy I'm sure. "Ender! Ender! Dinner is ready!" I heard Bun shout out happily from the other side of the door. I smiled. With all that has happened to her, this place and this afternoon, she still manages to keep her bright warming smile. "Be right there!" I shouted back before removing my shirt and pants. They had mother's blood all over it. It was so red and warm. Now, it has lost all its life. I pouted a bit.

I through open my door and sped down the stairs to the dinning room. I threw myself into my chair causing myself to fall over from doing soon. Mother giggled softly and Bun-Bun laughed. I sat up from the floor scratching my head embarrassed as my fake smile showed. "Someone's ready to eat." My mother smiled kindly and Red scoffed, rolling his eyes and looking away. I payed him no mind. "Sorry.. I-I just couldn't wait for dessert I guess." I chuckled a bit. "Sorry to disappoint, but your gonna be waiting a little bit longer until everyone is done!" Bun-Bun giggled. I sighed and got up.

The food was amazing! It was tomato soup she told use and it was delicious! I wanted seconds, but I'll have to save room for her pie. I had to resist and so I did.
It was worth it..

I laid down on my bed for a while trying to fall asleep, but for some reason I couldn't. I sat up with a frown. For some reason my head turned to face the window next to my bed. It wasn't curfew yet, but close to it. I got the sudden urge to go outside. "No, I am on punishment. Mother's words." I told myself, but before I knew it, I found myself opening my window and sneaking out. "Ohh~, I'm an idiot."

I walked cautiously through the woods. Looking around for anyone or anything that may be watching. Soon after a good while of walking, I came face to face with something familiar.
The Walls of Algaryon.

I began climbing. I needed to get over again. "Maybe its that woman again. Maybe she wanted to talk once again for my answer." I said to myself.
I made it over the wall and saw no one. I looked around. The area before had dead, tall yellow grass. Now, its beautiful with green grass and tall trees and it seemed to be dew drops everywhere. The dew seemed to glow. I subconsciously walked into the outside woods and explored. "Whoa." I said aloud. The place looked so new and wonderful.

I raised my finger up to a amazing colorful butterfully I saw and it landed on my finger. I observed it. It was definitely not a normal butterfly as butterflies do not tend to glow either and have such odd patterned wings. The forest was definitely magical. "Hello!" I yelped a bit as I swiftly turned around and fell down. No one was behind me. "No, over here!" I turned my head. "Yes, yes! Now, come over here! Hurry Ender! Oun!" I stood up. "Oh great, another stranger knows my name.."

I ran a bit deeper into the forest. "Closer! Closer!" I heard the voice shout out. They were closer. "Ah, ah! There, there! You made it!" Before me, was a huge cage and it was not empty. "Yes, yes! Now open this cage! I've seemed to of locked myself in by mistake, Oun." I saw a woman with long Orange hair in a beautiful tanned dress. She had pointed ears and large, narrow shinning wings, almost transparent. "Oun! Hurry! Hurry!" I shook my head unaware I was just staring with my mouth agasp. I quickly worked the latch on the cage until the door opened and the woman flew out. "Oh, oh!" Why does she say everything twice? "Thank you so much!" She gave me a back breaking hug. "N-no problem." I struggled to say. She let go and stood in front of me. She chuckled and bowed. "Fairy Spindle, at your service, Oun!" I stared confused and dumbfounded. Spindle seemed to of noticed my expression and chuckled. "Sorry! Sorry! I called you all the way here just to free me. Sorry! Sorry!" She waved her head at me. I shook my head. "Who are you exactly?" I asked. She looked at my confused for a moment before smiling brightly and wide. She smiles like Bun-Bun. " I! I am Spindle the Fairy! I am a Light Fairy and live only to serve my master!" I looked at her side ways. This woman was nuts! I leaned back as she flew into my face and grabbed my hand. "You! Master Ender! I live to serve you! Oun!" She continued to smile. "I go where you go! I do as you say! I live where you live! Anything! Anything!" I nodded slowly. "Um, ok..." I really didn't know what to say. This woman really was psychotic. Are all fairies like this? Or only her?

"Spindle, how do you know me?" I said curiously. She looked at me with soft narrowed eyes and small smiled. "Well master, I've known you ever since you were born. My propose is only to protect and serve you." She said in a soft low voice this time. My eyes widened. "Wha-?" I looked up for a moment. "Dammit! It's pass curfew!"
