Evena looked back down at the grand staircase before her and took slow steps down. Her sandals were quiet under her long flowing elegant blue dress which mimicked the slow comforting music. 

The crowd hushed and Evena was covered in a warm feeling. This was like the moment where all eyes were on the beautiful girl with long blue hair and a decent delicate long blue dress and flawless white skin that complimented her mesmerising blue eyes. But no one but Cherry and Zemma could see that intense pain haunting her eyes. No one but Cherry and Zemma knew that the smile was fake.

Evena reached the end of the steps and Cherry flew over to her and killed her with a huge hug. "You came!" Zemma pulled Cherry away before Evena choked. Evena smiled, "'Course I did."

The chatter and noise of the pixies continued but the males were making sure they could dance with her.

Evena was led by Cherry and Zemma to the food. A table, thousands of metres long was covered in all sorts of delicious food. Evena, Zemma and Cherry helped themselves to it.

But another hush fell over the crowd. As the Queen appeared. She was on a balcony, not too high, but high enough she could see everyone and everything from the tree. Evena took one look at her and she knew she was the definition of beauty. 

She looked a bit like Cherry, but not exactly. She has flawless glowing smooth light bronze skin and beautiful plush brown lips. She had a strong nose and defined jaw and collarbone. Her long waves of perfect messy yet neat golden-blondish-brown hair complimented her wide sparkling golden eyes. She wore a sleeveless golden dress and a transparent white cape with gold and silver patterns. On her forehead sat proudly a golden tiara. She looked just beautiful. 

"Queen Zinnia!" someone announced formally

"Queen Zinnia!" someone announced formally. 

"Wow," Evena breathed. "Yep, Inca is wow," Cherry said. "Inca? I thought her name was Zinnia?" Evena said, confused. "Oh Evena, Inca is how we say "Mama" in Pixay. I don't speak it much around you or other fairies, but i must around some people, like Inca," Cherry giggled but no one dare hush the princess. "Inca helps grow life," Cherry explained. "Uh oh, I'm supposed to be in the kitchens helping with the food, gotta fly!" Zemma said and fluttered away. 

"Hello everyone," Queen Zinnia started. Her voice clear and loud, sweet and flowing like the river. It was like melodies with soft tunes. So sweet. Evena hadn't seen the Queen in such a long time. "The Blue Moon shines upon us, and it is time now to celebrate, after dear Altaira reminds us of the story of real beauty." With that, the Queen was gone.

"The, story" Evena whispered as she remembered. Suddenly leaves came from the trees and gently lifted pixies off the ground and the pixies sat on the floating leaves. Altaira, a respected pixie, loyal to the Queen sat on the largest leaf at the front. They were 10 metres above ground. Altaira flipped her fiery short red hair over her shoulder's as her glistening smooth dark brown skin glowed in the Halo of the moon.
