Alright, I'm not going to guarantee that the next chapter will come out soon, but I've gotten the story's outline done, so it's a possibility! Anyways, here's chapter one!


Crystal was ecstatic. In only a few minutes, she was going with her fellow winter fairies to bring winter to the Mainland. Thousands of thoughts flew through her mind as she waited. Did the mainland look anything like Pixie Hollow? How big was it? Why did they need to be wary of humans? What were humans anyways?

"Crystal!" a voice came from her side. Turning, she found a white-clad fairy with neck-length black hair holding her head in her hand. "Settle down, you're giving me a headache."

Unable to verbally respond due to her being mute, Crystal utilized a mental link she had with the other fairy (who happens to be her sister). Sorry Cristine. I'm just excited because I've never been to the mainland before. I wonder what it looks like!

"Eh," Cristine shrugged. "It's not that great. It's actually quite barren and boring."

Crestfallen, Crystal asked, Really? I was hop… Then she remembered that her sister was blind. Oh ha ha, very funny sis, she said, smirking while Cristine slapped her knee in laughter.

"I can't believe you fell for that," she said, wiping a tear from her eye. "Even if I could see, I've never been to the Mainland before anyways."

Both fairies (along with the fifty or so other winter fairies gathered there) fell silent as a loud horn was blown by Piccolo, the messenger fairy of the Winter Woods. A powerfully built green-clad sparrow-man wearing a cape stepped forwards. "Winter fairies," the sparrow-man, whose title was Lord Milori, began in a loud voice. "It is time. You all know what you must do. Go!"

All of the fairies took flight, climbing higher and higher in the sky, aiming for the first star on the right. I can't believe it, we're actually going! Crystal thought excitedly as she climbed onto a snowy owl, adjusting her own cape over her broken wings before following her fellow fairies' suit.

To Crystal it felt like they had been flying for hours. Are we there yet?

Cristine sighed. "Please don't start that. We're almost there."

She wasn't wrong, as, moments later, Crystal spotted the Mainland. Her mouth gaped at the sheer immensity of it. It made Neverland look like a small island! Looking up, she noticed that the fairies were splitting into groups. Much to her delight, she and Cristine were put into the same group. Their group leader, a spiky black-haired sparrow-man named Sled, said, "We're going to take care of Britain. A couple of you have done this before and know what you need to do. Those of you who haven't, I'll be your guide to…"

Crystal, Cristine said mentally to her sister.

Crystal was caught off-guard. Cristine never used their mental link! What is it? she asked worriedly.

Ummm, Cristine began, sounding somewhat embarrassed. Could I, uh, ride with you?

Sure, but why couldn't you have just asked me out loud?

Because I didn't want anyone to else to know I had to ask for a crutch, okay? Cristine snapped.

Alright, I understand. No need to get snippy.

Sorry.

Crystal waited for her sister to clamber on to the owl behind her. As soon as she made sure Cristine had a tight grip on her, she dove after Sled and the others towards the Mainland, flying past all kinds of houses and a massive tower with rods that pointed at numbers around the border of a circle. Eventually, Sled led them to a ring of toadstools in front of a large, hollowed out tree.

"Welcome to base camp."


So, here's a reintroduction of the main characters from "Winter's Treasure". I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I'm trying to add more characterization in this story. Looking back at my previous two stories, I noticed that the characters seemed roughly the same personality-wise (excluding Robin of course). Also, I just wanted to explain that Piccolo serves that same purpose as Viola. (Personally, I think the name I gave him was quite clever. But, that's just me.) Anyways, please rate/review/flame/etc. and be on the lookout for the next chapter J
