Truth over the horizon

Chapter 1

I was just a young innocent child when I was made this way, it all happened on a mysterious, abandoned island (isolated for years) on the edge of my mothers kingdom...

I'm Aria (14 years old), daughter of Esmeralda but you address her as Queen Blossom. She is Queen of Volicani also known as the fairy kingdom. Esmeralda admires wildlife and protects as many species as possible(hints the name Blossom). I get my ash green hair from her and my elegant emerald eyes from my astray father who disappeared when I was barely born. Given to me by my great grandmother, I have one photograph of father with mother at a very young age(23). Mother wears a long leaf green dress with polar white fur round the brim,  an exquisite flower tiara and glistening golden wings on her back. Whilst I wear a turquoise, fragile mermaid crown, a cherry blossom pink petal dress and transparent green wings; the mermaid crown is significant as my father gave it to me just before he disappeared, it is the only item I own that belonged to him.

My best friend is Omro, my pet dragon, daughter of Mallynylth with ombre jade and sapphire scales he represents sea and nature - both his parents elements. He has gills on his neck, a fin as a mohawk, flowers and twigs on his wings and dark bark on his chest. My mother gave him to me when she realized Mallynylth was expecting a baby which will be 'the young one'. We now share a special bond and discover new islands over the horizon. We never stay for long as mother states that it's too dangerous but I record every island I visit on the map I created.

Our kingdom is on what you call the coast. As soon as you fly in you see a flash of glitter and sparkles - there is always magic in the air. Our kingdom is located on the edge of the forest with sky-high oak trees and wild flowers within . No other creature knows about us except the citizens living in our kingdom. Each of our houses are made from overgrown toadstools and mushrooms either on the ground or above ground connected to a tree. There are many markets and miniature shops where fairies work and earn silver coins. Mothers palace is in the center ; it is what keeps the kingdom alive and well. It's three times as big as a regular fairies home and reflects light to all the kingdom with crystal clear windows. It has two towers either side and a main section where you walk in and has a pastel orchid glow. At nightfall the kingdom gleams with fairy lights and lanterns hanging between the trees and across houses.  The palace is surrounded by a petite moat and overhead is an enchanted band of colour ending with a pot full of pure gold in the undiscovered leprechaun territory.

Leprechauns are mysterious, intelligent creatures with an admiration for pure gold. Each of them have a similar personality and style. The long ginger beard gives them wisdom, their heavy black boots remind them to not leave the territory and their forest green suits and hats remind them that they belong. 

The leprechaun territory was one of the many places me and Omro have visited on our short travels. When we flew over we saw dazzling green grass and the sky was full of rainbows. It was beautiful scenery and the modern houses were unmistakable but we couldn't stay long as we thought we could be a threat ; no non-leprechaun has ever entered the territory so we were the first. But during the visit we had an interesting message leading us to the sea on the edge of mothers kingdom...
