It had been 30 years since the war, it was all still very fresh in the minds of the fairies in the forest. They all still jump and hide from me when I walk by, I don't blame them. The demons had attacked the goddess realm and started a never ending war against each other. Though many other races joined the goddess race......giants, fairies, and even humans, everyone had been working together to stop the demons. It's been on going for over 100 years now....and now it has finally come to an end....at least for now.
I had been here a few years before this horrible war. I was fighting against one of the archangels, mael. During our battle he had struck me in one of my hearts, I could honestly say that that was the worst pain I had ever been in. I didn't pass out but I had a harder time healing myself. Before he could do anymore damage, the silver haired demon got between us and killed mael. Before their fight finished I fled to some trees to finish healing myself. Somehow I stumbled into the fairy kingdom, that's when I met gloxinia, the first fairy king.
"Alicen!!!" Pulling her from her thoughts and memories as the fairy flew to the white haired girl sitting by the stream. "Gerharde!! You scared me" smiling at the fairy, who was catching her breath like she had been flying around the whole forest. "We are gonna celebrate the new fairies arrival, would you like to join us?" She was always so kind and compassionate, even with all she has lost in the war. "It's okay, I think I'll just stay here and enjoy the sun and water" I have become accustomed to their way of life here. They celebrate each new birth of fairies or if a new king is found. "If you say so hun, just know your always welcomed" she had a sad tone in her voice, I know she means well but I also know that I could never be apart of the fairy forest. I'm a demon, I couldn't be apart of them, though many make it clear they don't want me here, I already know I don't belong.
I hadn't even noticed she left, my head has been all over and I can't think straight. Laying down in the grass, letting out a heavy sigh. I don't think I'll ever return to the demon realm......I have nothing there anymore. Over the last 30 years I've done nothing for my race, I have stayed in the forest and never left. Of course I hadn't started like this, I was fresh off the battle field, all I had in mind was returning to my people. Of course I never did and once I found out about the fate my people had taken, the seal that entrapped the Ten Commandments, I never wanted to return again.

A soft breeze rustled the trees enough to shake loose leaves, had woken me from the nap I had taken. I don't remember falling asleep, but the slight pain in my lower back tells me I've been here a long time. Looking up at the sky as the sun had began setting, creating beautiful orange and purple colors in the sky. I have always loved the sun sets in the realm, they were always so amazing and beautiful. Sitting up from the grass and stretching, wincing at the slight pain in my back, "damn it....gotta stop sleeping on the ground". Smiling and speaking to myself before standing and beginning my walk back to the sacred tree.
Almost an hour later, I had finally made my way to the top of the sacred tree. To the spot where gerharde watched over the fountain and over the forest. "Alicen! Your back! You missed the ceremony" she had floated to me smiling. "Yea, I suppose the day had been so nice I had just fallen asleep" I returned the smile and twisted to crack my back. "Well the new fairy king has been chosen by the forest" she seemed sad about that, her tone less cheerful. "Does this mean the fairies forest will turn to normal?" She looked up at me and smiled, "the forest is normal, now we have our king" she didn't understand my question, but I suppose I'll have to bring the topic up again on a later date.
I hadn't noticed when gerharde left or returned, she was back and forth helping the new king Dahlia. My mind had been racing through everything that has happened. I've been like this for months now. I haven't slept in weeks, all I can think of is what happened to the demon clan. They were all killed, very few survived, the rest sealed in the coffin of eternal darkness. The one thing that comes clear as day to me was seeing him. I always saw him as a brother, he was always nice to me even when we fought. But that day, he had met his end, and so had the goddess he loved so much.
"Alicen!!" The girls eyes shot open, her black eyes searching for the fairy who called her name. Dropping her gaze down to see her,
standing there with her hands on her hips glaring at her. "What is up with you?....I've been standing here for ten minutes yelling at you" had I really not been paying attention? "I'm sorry gerharde...." sitting up on the large tree branch, both legs hanging on either side of it looking down at the fairy. "I need you to watch over the fountain tonight" she had crossed her arms over her chest looking up at me. Nodding to confirm I had heard her, "okay.." she then turned on her heels and started to the edge of the tree and flew the rest of the way down. Leaving Alicen alone on the tree branch.
The night had been bland, the stars covered the sky, a single large full moon shined spreading light through the forest and trees. It was a usual night, nothing happening as the whole kingdom slept. Gerharde hadn't returned since she left that afternoon. Being alone for most of the day left me a lot of time to think what I'm gonna do. Only time will tell.
