In a fairy land, things don't always end up in a happy ending. Not every good thing is what it seems to be."
                        ********
"King Andrew's wife,the queen is suffering from a lot of complications. I have tried all fairy magic to reduce the complications but all to no avail. " the fairy midwife said trembling in fear.

"Your Majesty we bring a good and bad news. We're afraid the queen might never bear a child again and she just gave birth to a very beautiful girl " the midwives said happily.

"What, she bore a girl. I can't believe this. Why didn't she bear a boy."King Andrew said in a raging voice.

In a haste he hurried out of the room in flight.

Young queen Eileen didn't let the reaction of the king, her husband stop her from expressing her joy of motherhood for once in her life. 
She understood him, she knew a lot of pressure was on his shoulders. He lives her but he also loves his kingdom. He has been a great king for centuries the Second King of Alvennia, son of the great goddess Tabitha. He us the most powerful fairy in Alvennia, the exceptions being the originals. His mother has gone for a deep slumber with the other originals leaving him in charge. She ordered the midwives to make arrangements for the welcoming of the first royal fairy child.

"Alvira I need you to go get Susanna to foretell the what the princess is destined for." Eileen ordered the midwife and immediately she set flight to go on the errand.

The princess was prepared along with her mother for the occasion.
                          ********
King Andrew was devastated about the predicament of wife. If only he could find someone that could heal her he will even give anything for it. He then decided to welcome his first child properly with the intention to find a solution to his Eileen's problem later. Immediately he set flight back to the palace.
                    *************
Back at the palace every where had been decorated.  The whole ceiling had been decorated with beautiful fairy dandelion flowers put in a line. They are magical fairy flowers which bloom only on a full moon light. The stairs were decorated  beautifully with different flowers that could only be grown on fairy soil. There was no sign of iron as iron is very dangerous to fairies and can kill them.  It is one of their major weaknesses.

The whole fairy nation and magical creatures such as leprechauns, merfolks, changeling, fairies had come from all over fairy land to welcome the fairy princess. 

Meanwhile, Susanna had arrived and was in the guest chambers awaiting the arrival of Eileen and the princess.

"Welcome Susanna." said Eileen. "Your fairy Majesty "Susanna said in response to the queen.

"May I see the child?" she requested. "I present the princess of Alvennia." Oscar, a changeling said. Changelings are usually the servants of the royal family of the fairies. They were created by the first queen of the fairies commonly known as goddess Tabitha, who is the first original said to descend from the heavens before other originals (they are the first fairies to dwell on Earth) descended. The changelings have only one power to transform from animals to a man - beast form. Some are very good warriors, cooks, gardeners, etc

"Hmm, she has a great destiny, she is the one to bring peace between the two worlds, the humans and fairies". Susanna said.

Meanwhile, Andrew who had been at the window frame all along said "What! Never! I will never allow her to ever set sight on a human let alone step feet into their world. They are ungrateful, selfish,  greedy,  and wicked beings". "I repeat no one, I mean no body should ever mention a human in this kingdom ever again". Andrew's last words kept echoing in the room as he stormed out angrily to prepare for the event.

The whole fairy nation awaited the arrival of their king and queen in the Great Hall as they don't get to see them except in very important occasions. Every creature that attended the event were gathered in small groups discussing and expressing their happiness for the birth of their princess, the first born of their King. They couldn't wait for the time they will finally welcome their prince and heir to the kingdom of Alvennia( fairy land). At least they were given hope that the queen could birth an heir through the birth of the princess. They were all wondering what she would look like.
