The Travelling River {ON HOLD}

The Pixie Village!

Chapter 6: The Pixie Village!

"How exactly do we save her?" I asked Zoren and Calista. "I might have something that can help!" Calista said, rummaging through her bag.

She threw out powders, books, empty glass bottles, riches, potions, scrolls, food, clothes. Still, she could not find the items she was looking for. "Zoren! I was certain that I packed some before we left! A few flowers of serendipity!"

Zoren looked anywhere but her, and Calista noticed. "Zoren, please don't tell me that you traded them for food when we were at the village!" Zoren looked like he was about to be killed. Zoren laughed nervously. "I might have done just that."

"ZOREN!" She practically roared. Zoren ran off and Calista followed, leaving a trail of beautiful lavender flowers behind. "Hey, wait!" I yelled out in attempt to get their attention.

"Arghhh!" A squeaky woman voice cried out. A bird with long colorful feathers flew at me. "Stay away from our land, puny human!" A pixie yelled and flew up in front of my eyes. Her pointy ears were red, like she was angry.. Her hair was short, dark brown and on the tips, it was baby blue. Her eyes were red too. "If you have business here, tell me!" She yelled.

"My friend was devoured by a Devouring Devil. My name is Caspian." I said, hoping she would believe me. She tilted her head in confusion. "Petunia, go get some purification powder for me." The pixie said to the bird." The pixie got off the bird. The bird flew off.

Shimmering wings sprouted from the pixie's back. "I'm Corona, a pixie soldier. You're awfully close to our home and the villagers were getting worried since you haven't left yet." It explains her outfit. She wore bronze armor and she had a sheath by her side that held a sword. She had a few scars on her face.

"Well, Ms. Corona, I will be on my way once I have my friend back. Do you mind helping? I don't know how to get her out of there." She nodded. "Just wait. I need purification powder."

I sighed. We waited in awkward silence, not complete silence but it was close enough. The sound of the trees, the wind, and the little critters could be heard. A few minutes later, Corona's bird friend, Petunia, flew back holding a little bag of purification powder.

"Stand still, Caspian." She said, opening the bag. She threw it at me and I blinked a few times before realization hit me. "Did I forget to mention I'm cursed and I'm trying to find away to break the curse? Did I also forget to mention that I'm a prince?"

She looked shock, then confused, then angry. "You could have saved me some time and tell me you were Prince Caspian?!" She yelled angrily. "It's not like you would believe me." I muttered. She sighed and said, "I'll shrink you, then take you to the village." I furrowed my eyebrows. "Why are you taking me to the village?" She looked like she was ready to rip my head off. "Are you saying you don't want our help to save your friend?" She yelled angrily.

"Okay! I'm sorry, you don't have to get so angry, I was just confused." I said. "We're going to run out of time if we keep talking. Follow me." She flew away so fast that I had to run in order to keep myself from getting lost.

"Can you please slow down?!" I asked while running and breathing heavily. She stopped for a short while. "Pathetic humans. It's your fault for being so slow. Keep up, slowpoke. We can't lose any time, you're friend is in agony, we have to get her out of there as soon as possible." Then, she flew off again, leaving me in the dust. I tried following her but I found myself lost. A few minutes later, Petunia rested on my shoulder. "Ms. Corona has told me to accompany you to the village. Ms. Corona also said to hurry. Mr. Kol absolutely hates tardiness and is losing patience every minute. Let us hurry, Mr. Caspian." She flew off at a pace that I could follow and soon enough, we were at the village.

Pixies were everywhere, on the trees, on the ground, and in the sky! It was a magnificent sight for sore eyes. It was like a new world that was camouflaged. Everyone wore clothes of green and shoes or boots of brown. Their eyes are either red, green, or blue. Their hair is the color of green, brown, or red. In a way, it really was camouflaged. Green, brown, and red are the colors of the leaves on the trees.

In the middle, the largest building in the village stood. The roof was made of leaves. Not just any leaves, they were the color gold! It was sparkling and shining. It was the same as when you were looking at the Sun. If you were to look at it any longer, your eyes would be damaged. The house was the color blue, it was shiny, that's for sure.

"Where have you been?" Corona flew up to me and yelled angrily. A confused look took over my face. "What do you mean? I've been here for more than 5 minutes waiting for you." She exhaled. "Whatever, drink this to shrink yourself. We are going to see Kolten at his house." She threw a tiny bottle at me. It was at least bigger than my thumb. The liquid inside of the bottle is yellow and bubbly.

I asked her to open the freakishly mini bottle. She obliged and told me to hurry up and drink it. I closed my eyes and hoped that it would not taste as horrible as it looked.

Unfortunately for me, it tasted horrible. I couldn't really explain it but it was sour and it had my mouth burning. When I opened my eyes, my feet were on the ground and Corona looked like she was about to assassinate me. Then, she grabbed me by the arm and started dragging me towards the house of blue and gold. Now that I am the same exact size as Corona, I could clearly see that the house was made of diamonds.

Whoever lives there must be a wealthy person or someone of high rank in the village.
