Moonstruck
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 115668
|
Since there were so many moon fairies, not all of them could lead groups, but the entire population was broken up into many small sections scattered around the canopy of home tree. Frita and Arion, of course, made a point to gravitate towards Celeste's group. "Know that participation is not required, but highly encouraged," she said near the beginning. "Start by looking at the moon." Smiling at her friend's theatrical flair, Frita complied. And immediately, the silver disk in the night sky filled her vision and her mind. Her expression went slack, her jaw falling slightly open. Its whiteness covered everything in sight and left no room for thought in her mind. The only other thing that reached her was Celeste's voice. "Good," she was saying. "Now, I want you to picture this scene. It's a lazy afternoon, and you're engaging in your favorite leisure activity." Frita didn't even think. She was down at the base of the tree with Arion, and they were helping each other do their hair. Her own had started out rather short but she'd let it grow and it was almost to her waist by now--fairy hair grew so fast. Arion loved to braid and style it. At this very moment, she was putting his into a fishtail braid, singing softly as she did. She could feel how happy he was in his aura. She felt as peaceful as she ever had. "You feel relaxed, happy," Celeste's voice continued to narrate. "Suddenly, you hear music from the tree around you. Your favorite song begins to play." Frita's hands paused as energetic flute music began to float through the air. Arion sat up straighter as they both looked around, searching for the source. Finding nothing, Arion quickly waved it off and grinned at Frita, pulling her up into the air and beginning to dance. She laughed in delight, following his lead. "But it doesn't last. Danger is afoot." The music stopped abruptly, and once again they looked around. Something was wrong. "Suddenly, a songbird appears out of nowhere! It takes you up in its claws, scratching you slightly, and tears you away from home tree! From Blueleaf! You are being spirited away to parts unknown!" Frita screamed as claws ripped her out of Arion's arms, cutting into her back. She was being lifted up and away, and she felt a stab of mortal terror. "You try to communicate with the bird, but it does not respond, and you cannot wrest yourself free. On the horizon, you see where it is taking you." Frita looked. And there it was, in all its splendor. The kingdom of Allaria. Her heart stopped. She was instantly confused beyond belief. She remembered... she remembered its name. All she'd been able to hold onto for all this time was her own, but here it was again: Allaria. Her true home. Later it felt like after the bird released her, she spent hours flying up and down its streets, finding familiar faces whose identities she could not quite say, familiar sights whose meaning she could not quite recall. It felt like she had come home. And suddenly, Celeste's voice said, "Wake," and she was back in home tree, drawing in a deep gasp, and throwing herself into Arion's arms. He hugged her close, and asked in concern, "Where did the bird take you, morning glow?" "Allaria," she gasped without thinking. She looked up. "Where did it take you?" "To where I was before I came to Blueleaf...
