Chapter Three, Fairy Intrigue Story by Jennifer Kakesh
Gaylana’s essence drifted back towards her body at lightning speed. As the transparent form engulfed the corporal one, her gray eyes, now dark with unexpected knowledge, slowly opened. Sensing the presence of the Unicorn in the world again, she had immediately grown disturbed and sent her mind in search of it. Discovering it in the Abyss with Michael, she had shielded her presence from them, both to protect herself from discovery and from the madness that awaits those who enter the Abyss unprotected. Though not of royal blood, Gaylana was the oldest Fairy known, old even in the time of Larthtor and Igahnia’s grandparents. She did not rule both by choice and bloodline, but her wisdom and guidance were sought in matters of importance. What she had learned in the Abyss raised many serious questions in her mind. The Fairy had sensed the rising tension between the humans and Draconians, but had remained neutral, even through the recent war between Mendalia and Michael. Bendal’s rule had benefited the Fairies, allowing them to live in quiet and peace. The Draconians had powerful magic and wielded the Orb well, aiding the fairies own use of magic. The humans, on the other hand, lived a decent life, but certainly not as grand as the Draconian. The fairy folk did not look on that as a bad thing though humans could be as unpredictable as the Draconian. Whoever won, the life of Fairy would not have changed. The Unicorn’s presence in the world changed things for the Fairies. It was Gaylana who controlled the Unicorn’s presence in the world, yet she had not called it this time. The implications of that weighed heavily on the world of Fairy. Only the Unicorn could have returned Michael from the Abyss and only a powerful Fairy could have called the Unicorn and sent it into the Abyss. What politics were abrew in Fairy to provoke such an act? Was someone trying to force King Larthtor and Queen Igahnia, the current rulers of Fairy, to choose? Was it instead, treason? There was also no denying that Michael’s name was on the Unicorn’s list. Had destiny already been changed and the Unicorn’s presence meant to turn it back to its proper course? Who was behind this and to what purpose? Who was powerful enough to do this? And what of Michael’s curse? Was it still valid now that Michael lived? Perhaps his curse could work against him. Despite her inner turmoil, Gaylana could not resist a sly smile at that thought. She could possibly arrange that – Michael and Mendalia. Dare she upset nature in such a way? Tempting as the thought was, Gaylana shook her head to erase the thought, at least for now. She needed time to think about what she had learned. Her council would never be more important than in the coming months. She would return to the kingdom and consult nature to see what it had to say. Michael would return and another war was coming. She would need to go before the King and offer guidance, and soon. For now, she needed time to think.
