The Seven Realms

Transition.

It felt strange for Keira to return to the land of the Fae, the world was far more saturated with colour then the world she knew. Bright, fluorescent colour filled the flora filled land scapes. The creatures were also far from ordinary, a small pond near to wear they stood, instead of fish it had tiny sprites flying around it, blurred coloured spheres of light to the naked eye. Keira could hear their whispers of the pretty girl standing near the pond. Alistair had told her never to trust sprites, so she simply ignored them.

Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a tiny person like thing, "ah King pullulant, your highness" Alistair bowed, "you need not bow to me, we are allies here, I'm hoping you received my message?" As Alistair picked up the tiny figure Kiera saw him, a small human like man, old, tired, wearing fancy leaf robes, adorned with gossamer, he looked magnificent, his crown was made from silver sticks, he was not quite what she expected. "I did, I'm on my way to the castle now, the pixies have done us a great favour and we are in your debt" "thank you, young prince, we serve humbly under your name, and we only wish that in a time where we seek great aid you are there to assist us." Alistair nodded, "I promise you, the Fae will always to come to your aid."

Keira and Alistair walked, he wanted her to see the landscape, that and she couldn't exactly nor did she want to fly yet, "those mushrooms are huge!" Keira exclaimed getting a slight fright from the towering mushroom forest they'd now entered, the mushrooms were as tall as or taller then tree's that surrounded them, deep in the thicket, they illuminated like glow worms in a cave, Keira found this incredible, Alistair stopped, "what- why are we stopping?" "I'm expecting someone." "You're what-"
Keira heard a sound above them, it was like the heavy wings of a- dragon, she remembered the two she encountered the first time she'd entered the wood, "Alistair-" "late as always Lupin." Alister smirked as the dragon landed right in front of them Keira ducked behind him, a beautiful gold glistening, magic it must be magic Keira thought, it came in streams, transforming the dragon, he became a boy, the same age as her and Alistair, at least she thought he was, she couldn't really tell.

"That's why you love me, I keep things interesting." The tall boy laughed, he was tall, his coppery skin shone, it sparkled in the fluorescent light of the mushrooms, his eyes looked like dying embers, cooling  from red to a golden brown, he ran a finger through his thick reddish brown hair, his hand, adorned in glittering rings, so it was true what they said dragons had an infatuation with gold.
