on our way." Kaleb called out to the girls.
"But we just got out here!" Celina said annoyed, turning to face Kaleb.
"I know and I do apologize, but there is something that Tristan and I need to do." Kaleb said as he and Tristan turned their horses in the opposite direction.
"I’m sorry, maybe next time!" Tristan called over his shoulder, glancing at Leda.
The boys’ nudged their horses and they began to gallop like there was a dragon behind them.
"What do you think that was about?" Leda asked, obviously confused.
"I don’t know, but it better not have to do with another faerie." Celina responded bitterly. Celina had dreams of being a princess, or as she saw, being above everyone else. Just as she always felt she should be.
The dark thick wings of the horse sprouted as if from nowhere. And the boys were suddenly whisked into the air, on their way to find the makers of that enchanting music. The sky was filled with hues of orange and red. The Prince and his friend reveled for a moment in the cool breeze that blew through their hair.
"Let’s go Kaleb, or we’ll miss the party!" Tristan called out, as he leaned onto his horse making him go faster. Kaleb manipulated the winds around them propelling them forward.

Soon into the dancing that had been taking place amongst a small circle of friends, other faeries appeared with food and wine.
“A feast!” One fae cried out.
The small circle of friends began what seemed like the liveliest feast and celebration since the day Princess was born.
"Mother, Father. How long have you been watching?" Alannah had stopped dancing and walked closer to her parents.
"Long enough to be reminded that he have the most beautiful faerie in the world for a daughter." King Cavalon responded proudly.
Alannah stepped closer and embraced her father.
"This has turned out to be quite a feast!" Nalani said looking around a smile on her beautiful face.
"And to think, we just felt like dancing a little." Alannah turned to her mother, smiling.
Alannah’s adopted sister walked closer to join Alannah and their parents. "Hello father, mother." Evyette said inclining her head to them. "I suppose things got a little carried away, did they not?"
"Doesn’t it always dear? We’re faeries." Nalani responded in a chuckle, as they walked closer to the gathering laughing and watching the revelry among the fae.
Evyette and Alannah were raised as sisters since they were babies. Weeks after Alannah was born, a faerie baby was left at the doors of the castle, with a note begging the King and Queen to watch after her. The note stated her gifts and that she was a special child, but it never made a mention to her parents or lineage. They tried to decipher her lineage through her family crest on her wrist, but it had been burned and was not readable. Feeling sorry for this child that was abandoned and had no link to a family, the King and his wife took her in and raised her as their own. Evyette and Alannah spent most everyday together, whether it was venturing to areas of the forest where they were not supposed to be, or merely searching for flowers with the best nectar to drink.
Having left their parents with the guards, the girls continued walking through the crowd and talking, all the while hearing small footsteps behind them.
"Greer, must you follow us?" Alannah complained, as she and Evyette turned to face the tiny goblin looking creature walking no more than a few feet behind them.
"You know the rules." He said, raising his hands as if freeing himself from blame.
Alannah and Evyette sprouted their wings and flew over to a sit on a nearby fallen tree to watch the festivities.
"I heard father yelling at you this morning for being out without the Greer." Evyette smirked, nudging Alannah with her elbow.
"I think the whole kingdom heard father this morning." Alannah responded rolling her eyes. "I do not understand what his problem is. It is not as if I was doing something completely crazy.
"But we just got out here!" Celina said annoyed, turning to face Kaleb.
"I know and I do apologize, but there is something that Tristan and I need to do." Kaleb said as he and Tristan turned their horses in the opposite direction.
