Hello everyone! I had a lot of fun using these prompts for CWWC. I was able to include 7 different prompts into this little story! I hope you like it! So without further ado, I present: The Pixies.
Kate and Phillip walked side by side through the woods. It was peaceful there, as though the whole forest was in harmony. As they got closer, they passed a familiar sign, “Here Be Faeries.” This marked they were very close to The Tree. All Ferrymen lived at The Tree. They thrived there in peace and friendship.
“Phil,” Kate started. “Do you think Joel will ever talk to me again?” Her and Joel had gotten in a rough argument a long time ago. It had ended with Joel storming off in to the forest.
”Oh, I think he’ll come around.” Phil brushed it off. As if on cue, Joel appeared. He caught a glance of Kate and ran off.
“Joel!” Kate called out his name in the silence, like he would actually hear, like he would actually care.
“Or maybe not.” Phil added.
“Great, thanks.” Kate smirked.
They arrived at The Tree shortly after. It was nearly dark now, and quite the assembly of Ferrymen were entering the Tree. No one was allowed outside after dark. So Phil and Kate each headed to their rooms. Both were soon fast asleep.
The next morning, Kate rose earlier than anyone else. She went to her favorite spot in the woods. A gorgeous waterfall, with a branch, perfect for sitting on. Kate came here as often as she could, to read. She perched on the branch, opened her book and began. A dragon, of many colors shortly appeared. He sat beside Kate, and listened to her read aloud. “She needed a hero, so that’s what she became.” Kate closed the book with reverence.
She swung down from the large Oak, with book in hand, and headed to school. All Ferrymen came to school. But their school assignments were a bit different then ours. Instead of math, science, and geography, their core lessons would be studies of Humans, Warfare, and portals.
Kate arrived at school a bit early. She sat at her desk, waiting for the other students to arrive. They got there just a few minutes after she did. The day went on and eventually they all heard the “Riiiiing!” of the dismissal bell. The Ferrymen all jumped up and rushed out the doors.
Kate and Phillip met in the hall on her way out.
“Where’d you go this morning?” Phil questioned her. “I was looking all over for you!” They walked together.
Kate smiled and said: “I was at the waterfall reading of course.” They continued outside.
“Of course you were, how did I not guess.” He curtly replied.
“Haha, very funny.” Then she noticed Joel walking past. “Joel!” Kate shouted.“He turned towards them. “Please Joel, I didn’t mean to make you mad the other day! I was being silly, and I’m sorry.” She begged him with her eyes.
“I forgive you Kate, I am sorry too. I was a jerk running off like that.” He gently replied. Kate smiled. “I have to go now, sorry!” Joel rushed off once more.
“ Ok, now that that’s cleared up, I think, are those are Pixies?” Phil pointed towards some glowing butterflies.
“Wow I think they are!” Kate replied, following his finger. “Come on, let’s go check them out!” Kate rushed forward, with Phil right behind her. Pixies were rare to see. They lived far away from where the Ferrymen thrived. “Wow,” Kate marveled at the beauty of the Pixies. She had never seen one this close up before.
“Yea, wow.” Phil commented. “Those are lovely!” Phil watched as Kate reached towards the Pixies. Her auburn hair glowed from the light of them. Her blue eyes radiated as she took in the majesty of these small creatures. The Pixies flew off after a moment. Kate’s gaze was ever fixed upon them, as they floated away into the trees. Suddenly, Kate noticed that Phil was staring at her.
“Phil.” She started, “Why are you staring at me?”
Now, Ferrymen are not apt to lie and thus Phil said, “Because you are stunningly beautiful.” She blushed and turned away momentarily.
“Thanks Phil.” She smiled towards him. They walked on into the beauty of the forest, and their lives continued.
Not many know of the great Ferrymen. They are a mystery to all of mankind. Only a few have seen them before. And those special ones are few and far between.
