I am sooo sorry for not posting in forever! I had just started school again and I'm having a hard time going back into routine and all. And sorry for not replying your guy's reviews. I hope you like this chapter!
P.S. Again the chapter title is Latin for earth.
Chapter 29 Terram
Peter's POV
My surroundings were familiar, comforting. I felt right at home with the lush green scenery that surrounded me. Gale's idea to go all over the world and talk to creatures was a brilliant plan, but very dangerous. I said bye to my coven for the last time and we all split up to our separate directions. I turned into a cheetah and ran west until I hit the coastal edge.
I felt my tail disappear and my fur turn into skin again. My paws turned to hands again and my clothes appeared on my body once more. I grew my dark green wings out of my back and flew across the Pacific Ocean to Şavşat, Artvin Province, Turkey.
The pixies are the first creatures I was going to visit this morning. I swooped down closer to the trees trying to find the pixies. I dropped down to the forest floor and by foot found the pixies. They were scattered around, flying through the trees. The floor was covered with white small flowers in clumps. The trees were covered in vines and some pixies sat on them, others sat on the flowers on the ground. (Picture on Profile).
I turned into a pixie as my disguise and flew around the trees. The pixies are small like the size of a baby bird. Every pixie had a different color wings and long hair.
"You don't belong here." A pixie said getting in front of me. She had red fiery hair and wings. She had pointed ears and her eyes were pointed upwards at the temple.
"I'm not staying long I just need to talk to someone." I said.
"I'm someone. Talk." She said looking at her long black sharp nails.
I look at her large black eyes thinking what am I going to say. "Do you know what the Leader's have been up to lately?"
"No."
"At all?" I asked perplexed.
"Why do you care? We're pixies, we don't care about other creatures problems, they are suppose to care about ours." She said crossing her arms.
"That's a little selfish don't you think?" Its been a while since I've talked to any pixie and I remembered how suborn and rude they can be.
"Are you even a pixie?" she hissed.
"Yes, I am. I better get going. Bye." The pixie turned around, her back to me, and flew away to the rest of her kind.
I flew far away from the other pixies and when I knew they couldn't see me anymore I turned back to my fairy self.
Pixies will always be pixies. I thought to myself as I took off into the air again. Hoping I have better luck with my next creature.
With my lack of information from the pixies I decided to visit the Monopods in Columbia-Shuswap B, BC, Canada.
The afternoon sun beamed down on me as I walked over the boulders. The ground was rough and bumpy underneath my shoes. In the distance long skinny trees covered the landscape. (Picture on my profile).
"Peter is that you?" Aleser said. I turned around and smiled at the Monopod. I have known Aleser from previous missions and I was always very found of him. Monopods are dwarf-like creatures with a single large foot extending from one thick leg centered in the middle of his body, but they are able to leap with surprising agility.
"Yes it is I, Aleser. How have you been doing?" I asked formally. He had sun kissed skin from being outside so much and long black hair that reached his shoulders. He had lines of aging around his eyes and mouth but with the eyes of a newborn, full of energy.
"Very good. What brings you here to my home?" He asked. Aleser hopped on his one leg over to a shaded spot under a tree, I fallowed behind him sitting across from him.
"Well I'm sort of in a predicament- "
"Sort of? Do not add words that are not true, young Peter." He said cutting me off.
I nodded and continued. "And I need to ask you some questions. You are a good friend of mine, Aleser but if it is alright with you I would feel better not telling you my current situation."
"It is fine with me, I will not question. I do not like keeping secrets." He said with the wave of his hand.
"I have heard that there has been some talk going on in Zenonia and I wonder if you know what it is about." Aleser eyed me silently before answering.
"Yes I have heard of some things. A coven has revealed themselves to vampires. The Leader's are taking action in ending this friendship immediately and bring the coven back to Zenonia for further questioning." Knowing the Leader's there wont be much talking. "That is all I know my boy." He said.
"It seems like the Leader's are trying to keep this to themselves as much as possible." I said more to myself then to Aleser. "Thanks for your time, Aleser."
"No problem. How is your mate Nina doing?" He said changing the subject.
"She is very well, I must get back to her." I said standing up.
"When you have your own children, you must bring them here to see me." He said.
"I will. Goodbye, Aleser." I waved to him before flying up into the air again.
"Take care Peter!" He yelled up at me. I'll try. I thought weary as I headed off into the distance.
The sun was just starting to set once I got to Qiongzhong, Hainan, China. It was nice to visit Aleser again and I wish I could have stayed longer but I was on a mission and I had places to go before the sun rises again.
Night Elves are nocturnal, so the only way I could find one was in the middle of the night. They live in tribes around woodland areas. Their skin color can range from deep lavender to marble white, and they have extremely long ears, and hair in various cool-toned shades including blue, purple, green, white and black. They eyes of Night Elves glow with a bright silver light. The race is tall, with the men standing around 7.5 feet. The men are always of a slim-waist yet rock-like with extremely muscular build. The woman are very different, having slim, athletic, and voluptuous build, but still standing around 6.5 feet tall. Unlike most Elves, Night Elves are fierce and intense and don't do well with outsiders.
It was nearly dark by the time I was walking around in the forest. I had turned into an owl in search of the Night Elves. After a few minutes of searching I found them. The ground was covered completely by green plants. (Picture on profile). Some Night Elves were standing around talking. Groups of woman Night Elves were making tools out of bark and leaves. The children were running around playing in the trees or on the ground.
I turned back to fairy and walk closer to the night Elves.
"Stop!" A male Night Elf said putting his thick hand on my chest. I look up to see two other Night elf men flanking him on either side.
"I am an Earth fairy and I will do you no harm. I am here just to talk."
"Me and my tribe have done nothing wrong. Why must a fairy talk to us?" He asked. So he was the leader of the tribe. Perfect. The one in the middle had dark navy blue skin with snow-white hair. He had no facial hair except for his small white eyebrows.
"If it makes you more comfortable we can talk in another place of the forest, but you are not in trouble."
"Is this a trap!" He shot his fist out aiming for my face. I lifted my hands up on either side of me. My palms were facing the trees. The branches came to my control and twisted around the Night Elf's hands before his fist could come closer to my face.
"Get these branches off of me!" he twisted around trying to break his hold but with me controlling the branches there was no way of him getting loose.
The other two Night Elves advance towards me but I commanded the roots in the ground to curl around the Night Elves feet.
"I do you no harm. I am only here to ask a few questions, that I know you have answers to."
"We will do nothing you say." The leader hissed at me. The other two look at me not as certain as him.
"Okay then. Have a nice life stuff in those branches." I said walking away, testing him. It only took me five steps before the Night Elves were asking of me again.
"Answer my questions first, then I release you." I said a smirk in my eyes. The night Elves looked at me murderously.
"I've heard a coven has revealed themselves to vampires, do you know who it is or what the Leader's are planning?"
"Vampires? I thought it was humans…" the one on the left said to himself. He had lime green skin and small white freckles with long light brown hair.
"The Leader's are keeping everything a secret from all the creatures, but I don't know about other fairies. The only thing I have heard was a coven is in trouble and the Leader's are going to kill the vampires and possibly most of the coven."
"What do you mean most of the coven?" I asked.
"I heard there was important fairies in the coven and they obviously don't want to kill them."
"That's all you know?"
"Pretty much. Zenonia is in complete lock down. You can't get out and you certainly can't go in."
I compared what Aleser had told me and what the night Elf had said. Some information wasn't the same but like he said the Leader's have everyone guessing. Especially us.
"Okay. That is all I wanted to ask."
"Get these branches off of us now!" he growled trying to pull free once more. I gave the branches their own control back and I flew up into the air before the Night Elves could get me.
It was the middle of the night, and I was tired and hungry. There was a city not far from the forest. I found a hotel and quickly paid and got to my room. I took a quick shower and ate the fruits and nuts Nina and Alice had packed in my backpack.
I went into a deep sleep but all to soon I would have to wake up once more.
I woke up still half asleep and walked into the bathroom with my eyes closed. I splashed cold water on my face trying to get myself to waking up. I gasped and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My short dark blonde hair was matted and my blue eyes had no green in them this morning. I yawned remembering Nina saying yesterday morning "I wish fairies could drink coffee." At that moment I wished that also.
I got changed, brushed my hair, ate and gave my key back to the woman behind the desk. She looked as tired as I felt.
I went to the back of the small hotel. I looked around to make sure nobody could see me before I changed into a blue bird and flew off into the sky once more.
Once I was out of the city and flying over the Atlantic Ocean I turned back to my fairy form.
I heard a beeping sound coming from my back pocket. Confused I pulled out my phone and looked at the screen. It said, one new voicemail: Nina. Worried that something could have happened to her I pushed the button and listened to the voicemail quickly.
"Hey baby I just wanted to tell you that yesterday went okay and I'm getting ready to leave to go out again. I hope your doing well. Love you." The voicemail ended and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Tonight I would see her again.
With that thought in my head I flew faster to my first destination today. South Fork Montana, US.
Sprites are one of the first creatures we fairies created. They are known to live in deep woods near ponds and streams. Sprites live in communities and are responsible of taking care of all plants. For example Sprites are responsible for helping trees to shake off the winter's snow, budding leaves, bearing fruit, which they tend to snack on, turning the leaves in the autumn, and plucking the leaves away once they've lost their radiance. There are more Sprites then any other creature on earth. You can find them in all parts of the world.
Once I was deep in the forest I went on foot and searched for the Sprites. When I finally found them there were many flying around everywhere. Others were in the water and a lot of them were either up in the trees or in the ground by the flowers and grass. There were rocks pilled up on top of each other around the steam. Huge trees were scattered around behind the rocks. (Picture on my profile). The Sprites were all working really hard on different types of tasks that they didn't even notice me.
"Hello?" A female Sprite asked from behind me. She had a high voice that reminded me of a bell. I turned around to face the female Sprite.
Sprites are tiny, even smaller then pixies and their wings are dazzling in color. They were flower petals or grass. The Sprites are great craftsman and you can't even tell that they are wearing flower petals.
The Sprite that was in front of me was a young woman. She had magnificent large dark lavender colored wings and had a lighter shade of lavender for her dress. She had striking red hair that curled down to her shoulders and was caring a basket filled with powder.
"Hello I'm… Alex." I said deciding it would be best if I changed my name.
"Nice to meet you Alex. I'm Elisa. Why have you come to visit us?"
"Can I talk to you alone?" I asked.
She looked at me hard for a few seconds before answering. "Okay but we must hurry I have lots to do." She said flying away from the rest of the Sprites. I fallowed right behind her and turned into a Sprite as well to make her feel more comfortable.
"So what is it you need to talk about Alex?" She asked putting her hands on her hips. She strangely reminded me of Nina for a second.
"I have heard rumors that a coven had exposed themselves to vampires, do you think it is true?"
"Of course it is!" she said sitting on the stem of a leaf. "The Leader's declared this a few days ago. The word has not spread to everyone but to us it has."
"Declared what?" I asked confused.
"The Leader's are going to go after this anonymous coven and bring them to Zenonia for further questioning and kill the vampires."
"When are they going to do this?"
"At the latest, a week but I'm pretty sure in a few days."
"Oh, okay."
"With autumn coming soon we have so much to do. The leaves aren't even painted yet and the flower's are giving us a hard time…" Her words were a small hum in the back of my head as I thought of something that could change everything. I had to leave. Now.
"Why do you care so much?" she asked randomly bringing my attention back to her and my surroundings.
"About what?"
"This coven that exposed themselves to the enemy."
"I don't care and they're not the enemy."
"Yes you do. Its written all over your face." She said getting up, but before she walked past me she stopped and whispered. "That coven needs to pay for what they have done. It is a mistake, the vampires are mistakes. But mistakes can be fixed. You just have to have the right tools." She flew away back to work with the rest of her kind, leaving me pondering her words longer then I should have.
Once I had left the forest I headed to St Maries, Idaho. But the whole trip there I kept thinking of what Elisa had said. "…Mistakes can be fixed. You just have to have the right tools." I didn't know what she meant by that.
I always have an interesting conversation with the tree spirits, so I decided I would visit them for a while before I went back to Forks.
All trees are the same. With the same emotions to everything and everybody but tree spirits have their own character. They were originally from a different planet but the planet slowly died out so we had to move them here to earth. They are millions of years old and only earth fairies can speak the language of the trees.
A thin layer of fog was in the air when I got to the field where the tree spirits were. (Picture on my profile).
Hello. I am Alex. I said concentrating and clearing my mind of all thought.
I waited a while until I heard a response.
Hello.
I came here to ask you if you know of the situation that is happening in Zenonia.
Yes I do know.
Can you tell me?
Why would you like to know?
For curiosity.
There is always a story before the curiosity. What is yours?
I have no story.
You are lying.
Please can you tell me?
You are not meant to know yet.
Know what?
You will know when it comes.
Well if you don't tell me I won't know!
You will know when it comes. He felt him leave my body and go back into his tree. I flew away from the field and headed back into the sky.
I was frustrated and perplexed at the number of things that were running through my mind at the moment. My energy has left my body and I just wanted to go home. And I don't mean to Forks Washington with the Cullen's but back in Zenonia with Nina. I was starting to wish this all didn't happen and I would wake up in a few moments. But the moment wouldn't come. And I was becoming more and more desperate by the minute. And I had a feeling I wasn't the only one.
Let me know what you think of this chapter! I promise to get the next chapter in faster and all the links to my pictures (like places and people) are on my profile if you want to have a look.
Have a good rest of your weekend
