The other sister

Once upon a time there was a baby girl who possess the eyes that can see through the ordinary. Creatures no human eyes can see. Creatures of magic and power. But despite this babes incredible gift she was plagued with a sickness no human medicine could cure. She was to live a short life. She grew up seeing the supernatural making her different than any kids, so she was closer to the faeries than any human children.

She was also gifted with an affinity with medicine. Can cure anything but herself.

On her sixth summer her sickness made her weak, dying. The faeries took pity on her and plead her case to the king and queen of the forbidden forest where all magical beings reside.

The king and queen agreed, but there is a price she would use her talent to heal not only humans but faeries alike. To be the mediator of both worlds.

Her parents and she agreed. They took an amarilys flower. A magic flower that only blooms every hundred years.

When she drank its nectar her fair skin was  covered with ancient Markings of the magical world. Every part of her body was tattooed. Her once blonde hair turned silver, her once blue eyes turned a bright blue green.  Her talent to heal, was amplified by the magic flower.

But no one can see her as she is, an abomination. So she had to hide her true form from human eyes. A small price to pay for such a gift.

They rename that little girl after the flower that saved her.

"Of course he would, you are as beautiful as a flower. Just like your Mama."

"Can I excuse myself father?" She was never fond of crowds. People gossips about her mask and look at her funny.

"I am sorry Darling, but it was a decree. All maiden shall attend I know you dislike such gatherings. But I cannot disobey the King." His father said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"All will be well my child. Let your sister handle it." Her mother said.

"My little sister, don't be afraid I will protect you." She smiled at her family.

"Okay Papa, I will go."
