    Do you believe in magic? Maybe it seems like some unattainable mystery that the universe set out just to bother us. We live in a world where nothing magical can happen for free, but it's all something we have to pay for. The universe doesn't put anything out for us that we can't pay back. But, what if magic was something different? For Solona, that's exactly what magic was. Magic wasn't just this unattainable idea, it was hope; the hope for something better. A world of freedom, flying, magic and fairies. Oh how badly she wanted the magic to be real, but that's the universes trick, isn't it? You want to so badly, but it never will be. It will always be just waiting, right at your finger tips.

    So what will it take to make you believe in magic?

    Solona woke the moon shinning on her bed. It had been the same dream for the past couple of months. She shivered. Summer had started her dreams and tomorrow school was suppose to start. Solona sighed and sat up. The same dream of emerald feilds amd satphire lakes. The sun shone down like gold on the rolling hills. Solona ran her hands through her hair. She stood and went to the bathroom in the moonlight. She put water on her face and hen returned to her room sitting in her chair by the window pulling her feet up into the chair and pushing the window open. The chilling breeze floated into the window as she pulled the blanket ober her. She curled up looking up at the stars before her eyes fluttered closed. She tried to keep her eyes open but couldn't.

    Eldon felt nerves as he and the guard moved slowly through the human realm towards the house he had looked at many times. He knew she would probably be awake for the moon kept all fiaries awake. The way if shined felt like it was giving life to everyone around him, but that wasn't what he needed to focus. He flew straight head because tonight was the only night, it all had to happen tonight. He smiled, seeing her bathed in moonlight in the window which was easy enough to open up.

    The guard waited for him outside and out of sight. He landed in room taking a minute to glance around and mock how human her room really was. He looked down at her and smiled again; she looked like the royalty she was. "Solona," he called, trying to wake her. Her body would want to be awake in correspondence with the moon so it wouldn't be hard. "Solona," he called once more.

    Solona looked at the winged man beforw her wearing medieval type cloths her green eyes where shinning like amber because ofthe moon on her. In the day they looked like little amber flakes. She had hoped for another flying dream but it semed instead she was having romantic dreams. She shook her head. "Dreaming again." She yawned and closed her eyes again as if trying to control what she thouht was a dream by ignoring it. Solona had tirned 16 in summer and she had lived in this house adopted by two very kind people she called parents. They where good to her nut all these dreams of another land, flying away and this boy. Well she didn't know what to make of it. Solona opened her eyes again and jolted in her chair because he was there and she felt so awake. But a man wih wings couldn't be possible.

    Eldon smirked at the sleeping girl in front of him and sighed softly. "No, Solona. You are not dreaming," he said, loud enough to call real attention to himself. She was so young and naive and Eldon couldn't help but wonder why she had to grow up in the human world, completely unaware of who she truly was, of what she truly was. "Solona, my name is Eldon. I think we need to have a serious conversation." He looked at the chair across from her and gestured to see if he could sit. She would be confused and she would probably think it was all a dream, and Eldon sighed with the difficult task in front of him. It would be so much easier for him to simply take her away, but she had to come willingly or she would never get her wings back.

    He looked at her dreamy and confused face and smiled softly knowing that she was the one he had to marry. His wanted to sigh again, but three sighs in the span of five minutes was excessive. She was royalty, as was he, but he didn't want to marry her. She was going to petty and honestly, she'd probably not make a very good fairy. It took practice and skill to become a good flyer and perfect your magic, and she did not have time. How was she going to rule anyone if she couldn't even truly be a fairy.

    Solona frowned and sat up looking at him confused. He guestred to sit and she raised an eyebrow. "It's not like I really have a say." She said and looked around. Her parwnts would hear him wouldn't they. "I don't know what game this is but you shouldn't be here." She whispered. She honestly wanted to know why he knew her name and how he had got in to her second story bedroom. Solona looked out the window to see another boy was was dressed just as odd but different. "He'll be seen standing there like that." She said. "Why are you here?" She finally asked. She looked nearly panicked and she shook her head. She wished this really was a dream but she reached out and touched his wing watching them flutter in response. "Sorry." She said and bit her lip. She shouldn't have done that but how was she suppose to know this was really happening.

    Eldon had expected her to be more surprised instead of giving him the third degree. He smirked though seeing as she was so tenacious. He sat down after jilting back a little at her touch. "Don't," he said, tensely. He sighed, hoping she would sit down again. "I am here to take you home," he said, but put emphasis on the word home. "You are not who you think you are," he smirked. "Sort of exciting?" He added, the corner of his mouth tilting ever so slightly.

    Her green eyes were shining and he felt that was exciting, she was suddenly exciting. It was her spunk, a quality he had not expected from the previously dreaming girl. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but a lot more had to be done.

    Solona stood now amd shook her head. "No you're wrong. I know exactually who I am and I am home!" She said and sighed. "Get out! Leave!" She forced the window open more. She backed up and pulled her robe closer over her. Solona watched his wings though with envy. She had dreamed about wings a lot like that but different. She swallowed and looked away. She would not let this boy tell her that her home was nlt her home. She had made this home. She may be adopted but they loved her and she loved her parents. "I don't know who you are to tell me who I am or where my home is but I know very well it is here. Now leave I don't want you here."

    Eldon nodded, finally getting the reaction he had expected. He wanted to sigh at her drama and the fact that this was going to be more difficult than it was supposed to be. "You don't want me here? You have a living and breathing fairy standing in your bedroom who is offering to take you into his world and you want him to leave?" He asked, smirking slightly. He shrugged, turning to the window and opening it. He didn't need the 'princess' to rule, he could rule alone. She didn't want to accept her nature, so why should the kingdom accept her?

    "Wait." Solona said standing there and shivered. "Why me? What about my parents? High school? I have friends here." She said. Solona couldn't just leave there was no way. "What is your world called?" She asked curiously. How come he was so rude. "If you are a fairy, why are you so tall? And why are you so rude?" She asked. Solona looked at him with so many questions. She had no idea that she waw a fairy.

    Eldon smirked, turning around to look her over. "What about them? Are they important? I'm offering you a magical world, Artemisa, where you can embrace your true nature. You're adopted, right? What if you were adopted from a different world and your parents have been waiting for the night that you would be taken away, since they made a deal and all." He sighed when she asked of his appearance and attitude because he didn't really feel like he had to explain that to her.

    "I can be tall or small, it's my choice. And I wouldn't say you're exactly polite either," he said, feeling the need to smirk. She has yelled at him and jumped in him with no real reason. Besides, he could only be rude for so long because soon he'd call her 'your majesty.'

    Solona lauhhed when he called her rude. "I think I habe a rightto be when I find a male fairy in my room waking me. I may not be royalty but here on earth we do respect ones privacy with a little thing called knocking." She said nodding as if it where an exceptional idea. Solona sighed. "What's the rush then if I have been her sixteen years why is it a make it or break it tonight?" She asked. Solona wasn't ready. She hadn't accepted it yet. And she wouldn't until her fairy self started to break out of the dream world and into her life. Solona was unlike any other fairy before. Because she grew up as a human girl, an ordanry girl she would be more then anyone had susspected. "So why am I adopted?" She asked and looked at the time. The sun would rise soon. She sat on her bed to be further from him.

    Eldon sighed, sitting back in his seat because he really just wanted to leave. "I just do what I'm told. Come get the princess, so here I am. I don't know why you're adopted. I bet your birth parents would know," he mumbled. "Hey, why don't we go ask them?" He added, chuckling slightly and gesturing to the window. He had to get her home before the sun rose because it was so much harder to fly underneath the burn of the Earthly sun.

    He felt his wings tingle at the thought of turning slightly crispy and he suddenly felt more rush than ever before. "Listen, if you aren't interested, stay. This is your chance. Haven't you ever done something exciting and possibly crazy? Besides, if this is a dream, what's the hurt?" He asked, motioning again for the window. "I'm not going to kill you, so let's go." He wanted to leave so badly, the veil of night was quickly escaping his grasps.

    "Wait, wait no. You're not answering any of my questions. Come get the what? And I just found out I was adopted a few months ago okay?" Solona ran a hand through her hair getting up to pace. She bit her lip looking at him, she shook her head as he asked if she had done anything crazy. Solona sighed. "I'm not sure this is a dream. And when someone says they are not going tp kill you well theey very well might be thinking about it." Solona shook her head a tear running down her cheek her green eyes looking overwelmbed with the possibility of belonging to another world. She had wanted that for so long and never understood why. Solona looked up as her alarm went off. She didn't know what to do but when Eldon jumped at the sound she hit snooze before turning it off. She turned and bit her lip. "I never even got your name." She said. Solonahad to start getting ready for school. The sun was now rising on the other side of the house. The gaurd was at the window looking panicked at Eldon. "What's going on what am I missing?"

    Eldon couldn't answer all her questions, he had said what he could and now he was running out of time. When Jorgan appeared, Eldon knew he had no time left. He sighed, knowing the knigh and queen would be frustrated with him, but he had no choice. "Sorry, princess," he said, something sort of bitter coating his voice. "Time's up. Maybe I'll see you again." He pushed open the window and stepped back, wings fluttering softly. "Names Eldon," he added before taking off.

    [on phone so this is all I can do now. I'll post about his return home when I have a pc]

    [Oh I want to add something for his return. Instructions from the queen]

    Solona frowned as he hopped out the window. "Eldon!" She called after him when he left. Solona stood at the window completly confused. She sighed and thwn closed the window and turned. It was either a really strang dream or magic was real and she just let it slip through h3er finger tips. Solona got ready for school and they headed down stai4s where her parents greated her with a hug, a kiss, and pancakes. Solona smiled knocking off the funny feeling left from the dream.

    Eldon's flight back home was fierce and pushing through the portal was difficult, but the soft sunlight in his home was far more pleasant. He turned to the guard that was with him and smiled, "Artemisa, she's beautiful. Isn't she, mate?" He asked, smirking and the guard next to him nodded. He sighed though, knowing that his enjoyment would soon be ruined seeing as he failed to bring the princess home. He flew towards the shimmering palace in front of him and landed just outside of the stairs to the king and queen. "Thanks again, sport," he said to the guard, who nodded and flew away. He climbed the stairs slowly, opting not to fly to save time from being chastised.

    "Sir Eldon, do come quickly," the queen's voice rang and he huffed. The queen and king were decorated in swirling silver and Eldon's was quickly reminded of his place; while they shined, he only shimmered. The queen's lavendar dress draped down from her throne and her blonde curls were piled on top of her smiling face. "Where is she?" She asked, craning her neck, assuming Eldon had succeeded.

    "I had some complications," Eldon commented and watched King Fern's eyes grow heavy with boredom or contempt.

    "Well, you go back and fix it, at all costs," Queen Orna. She stood, her voice booming and Eldon wondered when the power shifted from Fern to Orna. Marriage, he thought at first and then sneered. No, love. He wanted nothing to do with this entire situation because if she never returned, he took his place as king, a queen-less king. He would be in complete control without any sort of strange affections getting in his way. He didn't need a queen to make an heir.

    "What? Should I pretend to be human and woe her away?" He asked, sarcasm coating his voice.

    "Actually, that's precisely what I was thinking," she commented, smiling at him. He felt his wings flatten sharply and groaned in pain as they sat against his back. "Those can stay there until you've completed your task." She winked and his clothes were replaced with some sort of foreign and seriously lacking clothing; just a plain shirt and some heavy blue fabric for pants. At least, he kept his boots. He huffed, hating to see how much power he lacked.

    "And what exactly is my task?" He asked.

    "You bring her home, at whatever cost. You make her want it or she'll never get her wings. She has to want to follow you," Queen Orna explained, taking her seat after basically striping Eldon of his magic. He was just a basic fairy now, a fairy before his 16th birthday; wingless and lacking in magic. He sighed, knowing that it wasn't exactly the case. He realized that this situation made him sigh a lot. "So, if it means making her fall in love with you, you make her fall in love."

    Eldon nodded, tensing his jaw as he waited to be sent back to the human world. The scenery twisted around him and he was standing in the Earthly sun, standing in front "Washington Heights High School: Home of the Golden Knights." He rolled his eyes, his intelligence already surpassing every human in this retched place. He didn't realize that there was a bag on his shoulder until now and he took it off to inspect it. There was a schedule, car keys and two addresses: his own and Solona's. The bell tolled and he looked down: "Great, I have to take Anatomy and Physiology this early."
