Letter from The magician, Sunday, 4. 9. 1234.


I was alone that night. The storm was terrible. And something happend. Strangly. I was just finishing my novel Vampire prince when I saw that storm was coming and I wanted to close the window in my room. Just as I did that I saw something there... In the garden of roses.
The lightnings were everywhere and it felt like the rain would never stop. But rain was never shaped as a person. As a person with wings.
I suddenly heard something outside. And I was scared. Was I seing a dangerous creature?
There was a tree near my house, an old tree. Beneath the tree I saw something. There. A girl. But not a girl... Rubin light.
A flying shadow.
A glowing light.
But who would stand near a tree in this hour, especially on the rain? With a light?
Darkstar, father's tale hero who slays dragons? A fairy?
A fairy Bee, blonde girl with wings, dressed in a black dress? Or another fairy? No! I didn't belive in fairies, reading old father's fairy tales earlier tonight made me thinking this. But still that glowing light started to take shape like a girl, a shape of a girl with wings. A fairy? No, no, no. No way. I sighed.
The music of my radio was playing loudly and I started to smile. A fairy? No, my father would be proud, though. I saw a fairy in the night through a closed window but because of the lightnings and the shadows of the leaves. Not that she is there. I was waiting my fiance Angelo. I wanted to read him my new story and I wanted to know what he was thinking about it. Angelo, where were you?, I asked the rain.
Nothing was there, nothing. But... A fairy! Not Angelo.
Great! Just Great!
As a fantasy writer, my father Arthur Clothes would have been proud to hear me saying this. A fairy, my life, I never thought I would say it, but was it true, that the world of fairies coexisted with our world? And still coexists?
I saw you are the one. Someone is watching you, Dione Clothes.
What was that?, I jumped from the glass of the window standing with fear in my room and I started to shake. What was that? As a girl, I knew my father was interested in researching about mythical creatures and I grew up on the stories he collected in his library. Darkstar, Gulstar. Well, mermaids and fairies were my old friends but on paper. What was that? My own inner voice or...
A strange little voice
. In the storm, through the wind. Through the tree.
I imagine you don't know me. But I know you.
I jumped again from the window cause I didnt see who was speaking and started to tremble with open eyes.
What was going to happen? I was alone, my Angelo who I knew two years, left for his work as a selling artist an hour ago. It wasn't him standing outside and making fun with me like he did during Halloween. I was very easy to scare. It wasn't Angelo. Angelo loves me, I love him. We would marry, soon. No, Angelo was my dear boyfriend fiance, a man I met in the library and he was a dream. He stood by me in every situation. Through tears, through smiles he understood what I felt. He would never frighten me. NO, like this. This was not good. A fairy?!
I pushed the window, to close it better, and I thought it will not come in. Not. No way.
Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I am here to say something, wait. To give you the letter, The one. I will read you it is on Halthars and you probably wouldn't understand it, the One.
I trembled. What to do? The phone didn't work all day because of the storm, we lived in a small village near the town and my car was with Angelo in the town. No cell phone, no people around. Just me and that strange voice and trembling lights of the summer storm.
This was my order. The one where are you?
When I finished school for a museum expert I didn't know that I would ever deal with with this, myth creatures. Was it really true? A fairy was in this room?, I thought but my mind was running, how to defend yourself from the little fairy? Little? Well, what would father do, I asked myself? He would stay and heard her.
I am here. Wiat. Wiat.
What is Wiat? Was it the name of my enemy? Wish my Angelo was here! Angelo liked mythical creatures, he belived in them. But I didn't. And I would defend myself now. Watch me.
I am here.
- Who is here? I will cry for hep! – I cried strongly but I was scared. That was my defense? Was I really in the room with an enemy? I was trying to see who is in the room but only dark and the smell of tinker was to feel and it made me jump to the left and as I put my hands on the shadow I saw it, the fairy. And I felt awful, I felt the burning air. I screamed like a bear would.
The glowing pretty blueeyed and bluehaired girl fairy was flying in front of me. And she smilled. She was tall and she was no enemy.
- Auch! – I said. – Who are you? What? Who are you? – I jumped behind the bed and watched her in the dark. – Who send you? Who... What? Hey!
- My name is... lilWita.
- lilWita?
- I will tell you what and how I got here, listen to me. -She said to me. – I am the Water fairy of Halthar.
Just to check what was she doing and to listen what she had to say I made a move to the chair that was near the window. She spoke and I understood that she was flying fastly through the rain across the village hill and outside the village and very silently. lilWita said something that she broke her wings on the wind, that she needed to read me a message from the magician.
In the land of the fairies only the One who comes from the Living world knows the password to Mermaid land. Come to the gate, we need you, The one.

Letter from The magician, Sunday, 4. 9. 1234.
So what do you think? Are you going with me? Darkstar will be there... Handsome warrior.
I didnt answer I started to think about the story my father Arthur, the fable and fairytail wrriter told me once, it was a beatiful battle story that took place in a magic land of Palgea it was a story about beautiful and brave handsome prince Darkstar from Halthar who was deeply in love with an ocean princess Elia she was a forbidden mermaid and the fairy from Oceanlandfo. And that love was broken from the beginning.
The two lands were enemies of course for years, and their love was seen as a breaking of a good agreement between two lands, and naturaly all were against it, the love, except Darkstar and Elia who ran away. Suddenly, the story changed. The love from Elia broke Darkstar, and Darkstar changed into a new man...But his legend was kept a good tale for the ages to come and my father knew it. And it went like this.
The prince Darkstar was a brave warrior. Invincible. A prince from dark, they called him. He won through surprises.
But only during the night he was a warrior.
During the day his name was only Darkstar, the handsome prince and he was only a young man, tall and educated, with dark hair and blue eyes like the sky. He loved his kingdom Halthar. He would do anything for it. Often he rode through the valleys of Halthar and learned about kingdom's glory. It was an old and good kingdom where hills and towns flourished.
During the history the kingdom Halthar enduranced several crises and had rivals in every sort of beasts, but the most terrifing was the Ahtra the Vipoler, a legend among dragons who had killed more than thousands Haltharsars during one thousand years and destroyed every castle and house in kingdom.
Even Darkstar's uncle Peopite was killed by the Dragon King Ahtra. So, Darkstar's father, king Holthop tried to find the Dragon and to get rid of him. Even he sent armies to kill the dragon.
But that failed and the Dragon King vanished somewhere.
The wizards didn't find him with their witchcraft. He was made a legend.
Who could find him to destroy him? Only the bravest, only the smartest. Only prince of Halthar. Darkstar.
When Darkstar turned twenty years of age he decided to go on a quest to find the Dragon King Ahtra on his own and revenge his uncle to prove to his father, the king that he is worthy of the crown.
Darkstar's weapon was the sword of Blacness, a magic invincible sword with crystals from Maghtar, the Kingdom of Fog. When king heard about Darkstar ideas he was strongly against it all.
- You are not going and that is my word. – The olad grey king said.
Darkstar was his only child and to loose him would leave him broken.
Darkstar didin't agree with his father. He saw a chance to be brave.
So, he got out of his room one night, said silently goodbye to the castle and father and with his faithful magician horse, a huge flying horse alshtrani Gurt he flew from the tower of the castle to find his adventure.
But in his kingdom Halthar soon wasn't peace cause Galstar, a strong warrior from Oncerald, a cold kingdom on the North of Palgea where winter and ice was only to see, decided to attack Halthar and called himself the King of Palgea.
Darstar didn't know this, and he flew on his horse touching the houses through the clouds and the coldness of the winds and he felt the beauty of the rivers, lakes and trees as he passed them by and he saw a lake silver as a star above and the yellow light that captured his attention.
– We will go there and find there what we need! - Darkstar said to the horse.
But suddendly Darkstar saw a person in danger, the river was taking someone with her, a person so small only a flyer could see him.
- Grab my hand. MY hand! – said the small person. - My hand and I will be your servant, master. MY master.
Darkstar knew every creature in the land and he was suprised that a small person with small wings could be alive but not in the papers of his kingdom.
So Darkstar grab the hand of a little person fairy and he pulled the person out of the river. The small person was only a meter high but with beauty of Moon and with clothes of golden stars, and Darkstar
