01 Water Drop ♒ Day 7 ♒ Introduction

[flightless_faerie]

[Having had a little time to get over the shock of her arrival, Rani decided to use this orb-thing the old man had mentioned to her. She plucked it gently off her necklace and placed it before her]

Hello? Can anybody hear me?

[She waiting for a response but it wasn’t too long before she continued..]

I’m sure this must be a various nice land but… I really must be going.

Does anyone know how I can get- [Her words started to become more halting as she proceeded, before she just outright reduced herself to tears]

[She tried to continue but all that came out was a nonsensical and blubbering mess. Without her leaf kerchiefs handy she had to use the ends of her robe to wipe her eyes. Then she just sat in front of the orb and sobbed.]]

[tatra]

Is that unusual?

I'm from the very small land of Chizeta. We don't have as many faeries as Cephiro does, but we have a few!

[flightless_faerie]

It is a bit. [Not wanting to trouble her host] .. but sometimes Neverland decides to let clumsies see fairies throughout their life.

There are fairies there too?! I wonder.. are they spell-casting, shimmering, or another type of fairy? [She did know of other types of fairies but she was always glad to be a Never fairy]

[tatra]

I don't rightly know! We didn't study them much when I was in school, and with the state of our world now there won't be much cause until things settle down. [ A lot of faeries in Cephiro died after the Pillar did and the world started to collapse. ]

Most of the faeries in Chizeta can do some magic, if that's what you mean. Although I wonder if the ones that stay near the desert springs are more of the shimmering type!

[flightless_faerie]

[She wouldn't like to hear about the faerie deaths. Lots of Never faeries used to die or disbelief all the time.. they were lucky that Prilla, the only mainland-visiting hand-clapping talent, appeared. She could get the clumsies to clap for the fairies on a more regular basis]

Fantastic! [Just that there are other faeries in faraway lands] If you ever get the chance, perhaps you can find out.

[tatra]

I'll have to remember to do that. I hate to think I'm lacking in my studies. [ As future ruler of her world, Tatra must be very well educated in matters both internal and external. ]

[flightless_faerie]

[There were such interesting people here!]

What sort of land is Chizeta?

[She knew it had a desert at least, and faeries but not much else]

[tatra]

As I said, it's very small! Quite cute! [ Yes that is its most important feature. ] It's much warmer than here, and the people are always very busy, but still kind. Everyone has time for a nice cup of tea! [ This is probably the second most important feature. ]

[flightless_faerie]

It sounds like quite an inviting place. Cozy even!

[She waved a hand over the tea to draw a small portion of it up into a spherical shape. Cradling it in her hands she drew it to her lips for a taste. This was a lot easier than trying to drink directly from the large cup]

[tatra]

Oh yes, very cozy. An excellent place to grow up. [ Not that she would know about growing up anywhere else. ]

What about your home? Tell me about Neverland.

[flightless_faerie]

[Oh! Where to start! Neverland was such a unique and precious place to her]

Neverland is an island, and it can alter it's shape however it wishes. It never stays in one place and has a will of it's own. It's the most beautiful place I've ever been.

[tatra]

Oh my! It sounds absolutely wonderful.

[flightless_faerie]

You must come visit sometime, if it allows you to.

If.. I can ever return to it. [She started to look a little moist as tears found there way to the corner of her eyes once more. Rani fought the urge to let them start flowing again]

[tatra]

[ Tatra smiles sympathetically and reaches out a hand to the faerie, gently. ]

Don't cry, dear. It'll be alright. We'll all return home, I'm sure of it.
