and plant life for he had a place in both the winter court and spring court while the summer and fall kings ruled the rest of the seasons.
"So with the birth of this child she brings back old magic and could possbily be the own who holds the future of fairies in her hands." The Queen comments for she see's the way to ensure not only her peoples future but the way she could bring her people and humans together peacefully.
"Yes your Grace that is what it looks like, but what will you do if this is true? sorely she isn't royal blood and has a claim to the Crown?" Demands White light for he was the next to the queen her self now that his sister was killed in child birth. This made Winter Pine look at him in disgust and the Queen vastly agreed with him her son was not what the worlds needed in a ruler.
"The only thing I can know as of yet is that when the child is fully grown I will place the crown on her if it accepts her then she must be the next Queen of this hill. I will not stand in the way of destiny or the Fates my life is still well needed as yet. so we shall watch and help this child as she grows." Decrees the queen hopeing that her son will not be a problem in the years to come.
And the court meeting ended but the feelings left in the room were vastly mixed in anger, fear and hope with some for this could be the future that saved all of fairy form the final end.
chapter 2
Raising a future queen
After three days Crystal Petals was ready to show her people their new member but there is a problem Flareance was no where to be found and her nursemaid was in tears all she kept saying is "Damn animals are going to get me exiled or killed, why is it this baby they have to take a fancy to and keep taking her behind my back oh the horror" The poor nurse fairy pasted out in exaugstion.
White Light was pleased and had gone around saying that maybe one of the dogs ate the child" with mock sadness which caused Crystal Petals to promply punch him in the face. With the whole fairy hill searching for the baby the queen was sitting in her throne room shaking her head, yet she sighed and sent the ghost to find the child and have the animals bring the child to her in the throne room she had a treaty to sign with the animals. It was barely two seconds when the baby was brought in by three hounds that are the size or larger of Great Danes. The hounds lifted the blanket with a laughing child and carefully set it down before the Queen bowing their heads in apology or respect the Queen did not know.
"There now she is perfectly fine no harm done, Now Crystal my dear take your baby and get her ready for the first apperance and I shall have a word with the animals" Puffs out the Queen for she is trying not to laugh at not only the look on her Granddaughter face but the looks on the hounds as well. "Aah yes my queen and thank you hounds for watching my baby I shall have meat sent to you and your families" Crystal Petals promised as she bowed to the hounds and picked up her baby. As she stood Crystal was shocked to see the hounds bowing back to her.
This gave the Queen hope that her granddaughter showed not only compassion but understanding that her uncle lacked and hopefully had been past on to her great granddaughter.
"Hounds of fairy is there any among my people who can translate your words for me and mine for you?" Asked the queen using not only words but hand motions as well. what she saw made her very happy and less conflited about what she was to ask. One of the hounds that was marked in bold red and black cocked it head and then shot a look at the smaller brown hound that was standing in the back of the three it gave a smile and sped off. As the one hound left the Red and Black marked one stepped infront of the queen and sat down while the large white one stood behind it watching the door and any movement that happen to pass by the door.
"So I'm going to assume your the ruler or perhaps the learder of your kind here?" the Queen asked hand movements from her self to the hound sitting before her and was shocked when the hound actually nodded in respons. The Queens mouth dropped out in awe just as the brown hound came racing back in to first bow to its leader the to the queen and sat behind its leader and woofed with a bowed head the leader nodded and grinned as the brown hound promptly fell to the ground panting. "would your friend like some water?" the Queen asked hoping she was being friendly when the brown hound nodded and wagged its tail the white hound just shook its head that the smaller hound almost like it was still a puppy an not a full warrior yet.
One of the ghosts brought a goblet of water and a plate of cakes to the brown hound it drank the water but left the food. Which the Queen was about to ask why when Winter Pine came into the room with several of the other animals that must be the leaders of their species. "My Queen Swift Paw told me you wanted to speak with the animals?" Winter Pine was wary for he knew not what the Queen would do untill he saw the water and food infront of Swift Paw and he grinned.
"Yes Winter Pine I need their help!" Cried the Queen shocking everything in the room what has made the Queen so upset? The Cat that was in the room ran to the Largest hound the leader and started purring and the hound just shook its head like it didn't know what was wrong. Winter Pine was listening and nodding as the cat talked.
" Winter Pine you are to be the voice of both animals and mine for my great granddaugther is in danger I want the animals to help me keep her safe like they did for my daugther." pleads the queen hoping the animals would remeber and still feel her lost as their own. the White hound looks up and whined as did the other animals, but the cat ran up to the queen and licked her hand a feeling of understanding and a mothers comfort came over the queen. The Largest hound looked at Winter Pine and then back to the door then at the queen, as if asking for something to be done.
"My queen what is to be said here today should not leave this room or be heard by unwanted ears please seal the doors and block out hearing with these walls." Winter Pine translated while looking at the Hound so he wouldn't miss a word.
"Done, I wish you all would sit and each talk to me as one ruler to another from now on you all will be treated like other royalty I sware my life on that" States the queen shocking all the animals and Winter Pine for he had hoped for this day for a long time. The animals sat where they were but Winter Pine stayed standing till the Queen beckond him to sit in the conserts chair that has remand empty for five thousand years what would happen if he sat on that chair?
"Please Winter Pine I need your help" begged the queen hopeing that when he sat on the chair it would except him as her new consort and help her rule towards the future when Flareance would take her turn on the throne. "As my Queen bids" bowed White Pine hoping the throne didn't give him a nasty shock if he was not worthy to sit on it.
The animals all bowed as he pasted and the queen held her breath for she could just be getting her love and a partner to help her out. White Pine looked at the Queen and saw what he had waited four thousand years to see showing in her eyes and he sat on the consort throne and the room lighted up with green and gold colors the throne had excepted White Pine as the new king of the Hill Fairies. As the throne stopped glowing the animals all bowed and the hill ghosts appered with a crown and place it on White Pine's head and bowed in retreat.
" On this day I have my new king and my true love bless you Fates for this day" Cried the Queen crying in happiness. " Thank you my lady and you all as well" as he bowed to the animals and ghosts for they were the network of the hill. The Queen wipped her tears and smiled to the assembled animals " Now you have a voice in my court and will be reconzied as such I ask you to help me protect our futuer" I, Blizzadora ask not as the Winter Queen but as a greatgrand parent. The Cat looked up almost in confusion and shook it head the meowed "What do you mean our future and how is the new child your Great granddaughter I was there when Ice kisses past away the baby was blue and lifeless it was taken away said to have died!" White Pine said with his own confusion and then he relized the way his love has always treated Crystal Petals as if she was her daughter remade.
With a sigh the Queen put her head into her hands and begain to explain what happen and why she kept it a secrect. "The baby lived I had her renamed and hidden to protect her. that is why my sister said the baby was one of her people and that she couldnt find some one to take her in was so that I could make it look like she was a foundling. To protect her form her uncle who made it clear that he would do anything to claim the throne even kill again for it ." Spills the Queen for more questions would be asked nad the answeres were going to cause much grief.
The white hound growled and started towards the door but a growl for its leader stopped it in his tracks and it wasnt happy to be ordered to stay. "I have no proof other than hear say that my son killed his father and tried to kill his sister but if its true then he could try to do the same to Flareance and we can not let this happen she is to be a apart of something big that will save not only our world but others as well." rasped the Queen for crying had left her horse and drained now that the secret was out.
