Chapter 1

Clarion slammed her head on her desk. "Aghhhhh!" She screamed into the papers that were sitting there.

"Whoa now Ree! Calm down!" Mary sat on Clarion's bed, frustrated herself even though she wasn't yelling.

"I don't get why the queen had to ban us from Firefly Field!" Clarion looked up at her friend.

"One, we let every firefly escape. Two, both our bottoms were glowing because the firefly bit us. And three, you are the future queen and shouldn't be caught with a glowing bottom!" Mary raised her voice slightly on the last few words. Clarion huffed.

"Well," she began, "One, we caught every firefly. Two, our bottoms are back to normal. And three…" She couldn't think of a retaliation for number three.

"It's only for two weeks Clarion. We'll find something else to do." Mary gave her a smile which lifted Ree's sprits.

"You're right Mary. We can go play with the chipmunks tomorrow." Clarion began to laugh thinking of the last time that happened. She was about to say more about their chipmunk fiascos when there came a knock on the door. Clarion's smile died slightly, but she answered cheerfully. Next thing they knew Queen Aurora fluttered inside.

"Hello your highness." Mary bowed respectfully.

"Hello there Fairy Mary." The queen smiled and nodded at Mary, "I'm afraid it's time for you to go home. I have to have a chat with my daughter." Mary frowned, but agreed.

"By Clarion! Your highness." She bowed before leaving.

"Clarion, you are my daughter and you know I love you with all my heart." The queen began. Even though Clarion was born like every other fairy, the queen adopted her when she found out Clarion was the heir. Clarion would be the second queen of Pixie Hollow. She should have been the first, since Queen Aurora was only an animal fairy, but she arrived late to find Aurora leading Pixie Hollow. The queen continued talking. "Anyway, you know my time is running short, and soon you will be the queen." Aurora was interrupted by Clarion.

"Mother, don't think of these things! Not for a single second! You are going to live many more seasons!" Clarion's eyes were welling up with tears. Queen Aurora saw and pulled Clarion into a tight hug. She stroked Clarion's soft hair. It was chestnut colored and fell to her waist.

"My baby girl." Queen Aurora didn't say much, it was almost like she didn't know what to say. "I know I have a few seasons left, but I have to tell you this." Clarion looked up at her mother and wiped away her tears. "It's time for you to start acting like a queen. No more crying, and never cry in front of your fairies. It's also time to stop causing so much trouble."

"Mother, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not going to stop having fun. Right now I'd rather take any punishment than stop having fun with my friend." Clarion sighed, "I know it'll all change when I become queen."

"I suppose I can't stop you. But Clarion, at least don't get caught next time." She smirked at her one and only daughter. "And please remember to be careful, I don't want any broken wings around Pixie Hollow!" She almost sang her warning before flying away.

"Of course Mother!" Clarion sang in the same tone, mocking the queen. Aurora laughed and closed the door behind her. "Mother can be so annoying sometimes! Especially when she makes Mary go home and it's not even sunset!" Clarion thought to herself. "But she's only looking out for me." Clarion looked out her window and saw the winter woods. She felt like something was calling her there. She had felt that way for a while. "I have nothing better to do." She thought and she flew out her window and headed towards the Winter Woods.

Milori sat in his room at his desk. He was trying to remember a poem he had thought of earlier but he couldn't remember. It frustrated him greatly and he decided to go on a walk. "Maybe the fresh air will help me think." He looked into the sky as he flew off. By the position of the sun Milori figured he had two hours before sun set. He found himself outside the library.

"Dewey?" Milori called as he pushed the heavy ice doors back. "Dewey where are you?" He soon found Dewey, or better known as the Keeper, behind a stack of books.

"Hi there Milori!" Even though Milori was lord to be and Dewey was the Keeper of all Fairy Knowledge, their friendship allowed informalities.

"What are you writing about now?" Milori asked as he looked over his friend's shoulder trying to see the work.

"It's about the animals during winter. Going by pretty fast too! Most of the animals just sleep." His eyes light up as he talked about his work in progress.

"You should write one about the warm season." Milori suggested.

"You know Milori I'd love to! But sadly I know nothing about the warm seasons. I've never been there and no other winter fairy has either." Milori only nodded at Dewey's response. Milori vowed that one day when he was lord he would find a warm fairy to help Dewey. "Well anyway! What can I do for you Milori?"

"I was thinking of reading a new book. Any suggestions?" He eyed the keeper.

"I have a wonderful new book about the snowy owls!" Dewey handed the book to the young sparrow man. "Knock yourself out!" Dewey waved and Milori left the library. He flew over to the forest where the snowy owls liked to play. He would take a break for reading every now and then to watch the owls. He laughed as he saw two owls play fight each other. He also glanced back towards the border as well. He couldn't stop thinking about the place where spring touches winter. Finally, when he could read no longer, he got up and flew towards the border. He had a feeling something was about to happen that would change his life forever.
