I do not own any of the characters of the story!

Another weird day had passed. The details were already jumbled in his head. A book; a conversation; The Keeper's strange way of quickly getting rid of him.

He pushed this thoughts away in order to do what he had really intended ever since he saw that book in the afternoon. "Clarion" Milori thought softly. He was sure this could not be a coincidence. Could it be? Perhaps, a signal? No, no way… he was letting it all get to his head.

Many years had passed, it was true, but he still loved her as if it was yesterday they used to meet at the border. Everything seemed to remind him of her now: the sky, the leaves, the Autumn Woods.

He was sitting in the very border, where spring touches winter, where so long ago they had met. He remembered every detail, still no

He had been waiting by the border to try and catch an orange leaf from the Autumn Woods. How much he enjoyed the colors! But unfortunately no leaf had left its place in the trees so he just sat there staring at the sky, wondering.

And then! She had appeared, out of nowhere, and watching him slightly surprised. She had long light brown hair that seemed to shine with the sun, and blue eyes that reflected the snow sow beautifully.

"Hello" she said awkwardly.

"WA?! Oh…Um… Hi!" Milori just couldn't understand what a warm fairy would be doing at the border.

"Sorry if I scared you… I didn't mean, I mean… I could leave… if you?"

"NO! No! Its fine, really…. I was just… well, never mind that" he felt it would sound stupid to say that he, being a winter fairy, wanted a leaf.

"Well ok then" The fairy sat down at the other side of the border, silently staring at the sky. An awkward silence followed this phrase. Milori was getting more nervous by the minute so he just blurted out.

"M'names Milori n'you?" As soon as he said it he wanted to slap himself in the face. Too late, irreparable damage done.

"What?" She looked confused and after a minute comprehension dawned on her face. "Oooh, hi Milori! I'm Clarion"

"Nice to meet you Clarion" he said. Feeling kind of dumb, but nonetheless pleased. "So what are you doing out here so late in the afternoon?... May I ask?"

"I was just hoping to get a glance at the light reflecting off the snow… its so pretty!" She had been truthful without even meaning to!

What was wrong with her? Wasn't composure one of the things she was supposed to have as future queen?

Milori watched her in silence, he couldn't believe his ears! Seriously? A warm fairy? Wanting to see the sunset from this side of the country? He was just amazed and intrigued.

"I know its stupid, but I just love that kind of things." Said Clarion, apologetically. "Simple things make me happy" She shrugged.

"No! I don't think its stupid at all. I mean… I was hoping I could catch a leaf from here." Milori decided that she could be trusted. I mean, such a nice fairy as her? She couldn't mock him could she?

She let out a small shy laugh. "Guess we both have our weird sides then."

He laughed as well. It was easy, talking to Clarion. They had spent all the afternoon talking about strange things, like the forms of the clouds and the sounds of the wind.

The night came too soon that day. And Clarion looking up slightly sad had said:

"I have to go…" and then mumbled something about chores. "It was nice meeting you though"

"Yeah guess us weirdoes are hard to by." They both laughed at this. "Um.. Clarion, you know… I was just wondering?"

"Yes?" her tone was slightly hopeful. She was secretly thinking that this had been a great evening, and she would give anything to repeat it.

"Well… I just wanted to know if? You know, if you don't have anything else to do? Maybe?" Milori wasn't sure on what else to say.

"Yes! I mean no!.. I mean… tomorrow here at sunset?"

"Sure! See you tomorrow then!"

They had both flown off towards their homes. Thinking of a really nice afternoon, and of the adventures the next one could hold.

A leaf fell at that precise moment just at hands reach I the Autumn Woods side of the forest. Milori smiled, and took the leaf into both of his hands. Smelling it and taking in every single detail. Really how beautiful simple thing could be?
