In a kingdom far away, a long time ago, there was a little girl. She had light brown hair cut short and emerald eyes and her name was Robin. Robin came from a peasant family with little money. Her parents worked almost all day and night, leaving her alone a lot. Robin didn't talk to most of the other children and had few friends, but told herself she was content being alone.
One night as Robin sat up on her bed, in the light of the full moon shining through her window, she sighed. As much as she told herself she was fine being by herself, she couldn't help but think of how good it would be to have friends. Hanging her head down, staring at her lap, Robin heard a noise. Like he faint sound of bells ringing. She looked up to see a man, a tall man. A man in all-white attire, from his hat to his shoes.
"Who are you?" Robin asked the man.
"I go by many names," he replied "but you may call me Camgi." Camgi tipped his pearly hat.
"Why are you here?"
"To keep you company." Camgi placed his hat on the window sill and took his coat off, hanging it on Robins bed post. He cracked his gloved knuckles and smiled. "Watch this."
Robin watched closely as Camgi stretched his arms out and suddenly, colors of all kinds filled the room. Robin smiled wide as little winged girls came through the window, trailing sparkles behind them. They began dancing around her, bells were ringing again. Robin leapt off her bed and began dancing with the small girls in her nightgown. Camgi created beautiful designs on the walls that changed on their own. Suddenly, Robin was picked up and swung around by Camgi, who smiled as she laughed.
They danced for a while longer, until Camgi noticed the time. He stopped dancing and to Robin's dismay the colors went away, the winged girls began flying away. The bells faded.
"Wait, no!" Robin cried, jumping out of Camgi's arms and chasing the girls as they flew to the window. Camgi picked her up again and placed her back in bed. "Please don't go." Robin said teary eyed.
"I'm sorry but it's almost midnight, I must go." Camgi said sadly. He went to pick up his hat and coat. He was about to leave until he heard Robins voice.
"Robin." She said then saw his confused face. "You told me your name but you didn't know mine. It's Robin." Camgi smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll visit again." then, he went out the window.
The next day Robin tried telling her parents of the magic man that visited her but they didn't believe her. 'Stop making up stories' they told her. She tried telling the other children in town but they wouldn't believe her either. Robin felt lonelier than ever.
Years passed and Robin grew to be a very nice young lady. Her family was able to to get enough money so her parents didn't need to work all the time but she still decided to work at a produce stand in town. She still was alone most of the time except for the few customers that she chatted with regularly.
One night during a full moon, Robin sat on her bed unable to sleep. She still wished for friends but everyone thought she was odd. When she heard the familiar sound of bells from so long ago she perked up and before her stood Camgi, dressed in the same white clothes with the same smile on his face.
"I told you I'd return." He said. Robin got up and hugged him.
"Oh how I've missed you." Robin said, "You should have come sooner I've been so lonely."
"Well, have you tried talking to others?" Camgi asked as Robin released him from the hug. "You can't always count on them to talk to you first." Robin looked down at her feet.
"Everyone thinks I'm odd, no one wants to talk to me."
Camgi laughed. "My my, you poor thing. That is far from the truth. Why, you could have many companions if you put yourself out there. You're much to insecure." Robin wasn't sure about what Camgi was saying but she felt she could trust him. She looked up at him.
"Now, before you say anything," Camgi said, taking Robins hands and sitting her down on the bed with him. "There is a boy in town that fancies you, the shoemakers son. You really should talk to him, he's just waiting for it. Now, how have you been these last years? You look beautiful." And the two talked on and on. Camgi was polite and listened to Robin, giving his opinion every once and while. He declined on talking about himself though. Soon it was almost midnight, Camgi made a small blue flower appear in his hand and placed it on the table by the bed. He instructed Robin to wear it when talking to the shoemakers son. Robin didn't argue and laid back down in bed and Camgi left once again.
The next day Robin went to the shoemakers shop. The shoemakers son saw her and shyly approached. He complimented her flower, as it was his favorite kind. Soon the two were talking and laughing until the shoemaker came and scolded the boy for not working. Robing left and that day she knew Camgi was right about putting herself out there and talking to the shoe makers son.
After a number of years, they fell in love and got married. They shared a small house and Robin had gotten pregnant. She hadn't seen Camgi since the night he told her to talk to her now husband. She thought of him often though.
As she lay next to her husband, light from the full moon shining on her face as she stared at it. Robin did this every full moon, hoping her magical friend would show up. Just as Robin was about to give up and sleep, she heard a faint ringing of bells, she got out of bed and walked to the source. Coming out of her room, she saw him. Sitting on a chair, smiling at her with his hat in his lap, looking the same when they first met.
"My my, you've been well these last years haven't you?" Camgi said, "Come, sit. We have much to talk about and little time." Robin gladly sat and like the last time talked on and on, like good old friends. Eventually, Robin noticed they didn't have much time left. She gave Camgi a tight hug and said almost sadly,
"Thank you Camgi, for everything."
"Oh my dear, I merely pushed you in the right direction. You did all the work." Camgi replied smiling. He started moving his hands around, creating a small ball of light between them then out of the light came a small toy mouse. "Give this to your child and I'll visit them. Sadly, I cannot say I will ever see you again."
Robin nodded and took the toy. While examining the beautifully crated mouse, she didn't notice Camgi leave and was disappointed to look up and see her friend was gone.
Months later, Robin gave birth to a lovely baby girl. Every night Robin placed the toy mouse next to her child to sleep with and every full moon Camgi visited, keeping his word. And every time he visited he would light up the room with color and the fairies would come, and Camgi would smile seeing the baby's entranced face. Then, as usual, would leave at midnight with the baby girl sleeping soundly.
