Becoming Kelly

Faerie of Knowledge

I am walking up to the gate. I look for a lock. None. I put my hands on the iron gates. I pushed the iron gates back and forth but it didn't bulge. I stepped back, when suddenly , the black iron gates opens. Most gates I have encountered make a creepy squeaky noise; these didn't make a sound. I stepped off of the concrete that lined the outside of the ever stretching gated walls and about two yards into the land of the Faerie of knowledge's property. I noticed immediately, Marble. Something very much adored by the Faeries.

The windy road to the home was a never ending sandy colored marble. So beautiful. And I, a Superior Cycle felt a touch of awe. The home itself had warm colors. I felt drawn to it. As I got closer to the home. I smelled lavender and roses. I walked up to a stoop. And before I could take another step. I could hear the locks turning. Someone was behind the tall oak doors.

A man with shoulder length hair and extremely light brown eyes stared back into my mine. He had a chiseled face like many Male Faeries. My heart did a flip flop. And I could feel my hands getting wet? I dont remember wetting my hands. And when he finally broke the silence with his voice, all I could do is look at his features. Over and over. I did not understand why the Faerie of knowledge made me feel emotions of all sorts.

"Well, if it isn't the taller, older, more mature.. physically of course, but not very wise Cycle of life." The Faerie of knowledge said as he crossed his arms. A guarded stance. With a smile on his smooth pale stubbly face.

I froze and Lifted my head, proudly, which I'm pretty sure was ruined by the visibly shaky breathe I just took in. I looked into the Faerie's eyes. He was still smiling.

"I'm not sure whether or not I should feel offended." I say to him.

"I'm sorry Cycle of life. Its a little hard to be optimistic about your presence when you," he paused and scrunched his eyebrows. "You manage a planet and don't take advantage of it. There is so much I would do if I had a world of my own."

"Trust me I would too Faerie of knowledge if I had the information of planet earth that you do."

"Is that so?"

"I'm guessing you know how I ended up here."

"And?"

"I was hoping you'd help me. If you'd give me the information on what people my age know."

"How do I know that you'll put it to good use cycle?"

"I'm stuck here. I'm not allowed up there. Probably for a long time. I want to know how to make a difference. The humans deserve my attention. I've realized that."

"I'm glad you feel this way. Come in Cycle of life. You have quite alot to learn by the end of this hour."

I walk up the steps and into the Faerie of knowledge's home on earth. It was grand and elegant. Dark woods lined the banister up the stairs.

"Lets go to my study. There we will talk."

"You have a beautiful home Faerie of Knowledge."

"Thank you Cycle. But please you and I are past formalities. Are we not? Call me Savoir."

"Savoir?"

"My human name, Cycle."

"Oh, of course. Savoir why did you prohibit Amos, I mean Delia from your home?"

"Did she tell you this?"

"Yes."

"She didn't believe the home I created was beautiful. She wanted to twist my home into her definition of beauty."

"Doesn't she know what she's talking about? She is cupid. A-"

"Exactly! she's Amos. Love, affection, and," Savoir looks me in the eyes as he takes his seat. His eyes roam over me."and desire. You know about desire? Right Cycle?"
