Story 3- The Pixies

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.

From Prison to Peace

It’s been quite a while since I have been able to write! I have had a wonderful, crazy summer! From dance camps to just swimming, I’ve had a great time. But I’ve returned, with more words that God has put on my heart. I hope you enjoy! The enemy is constantly trying to steal our peace. He is trying to steal our Joy. He is trying to keep us in bondage. Whether through deaths, broken relationships, or just day to day arguments, he is after us all. Tonight I realize why he does this. In Ephesians 6, Paul writes about the armor of God. As some of you will recall, this includes the shoes of the Gospel of Peace. When people trap or enslave others, they remove their shoes, to keep them from attempting escape. The Devil does the same thing. He has lulled us to sleep, and ensnared us in a dreary circle of apathy. Then, he removes our shoes, our peace, to ensure our detainment.  It is time to rise up and end our bondage! Even though Satan works to steal our peace, we can receive a...

Truth Over Lies

It starts as a small, still voice. Hiding in the back of your mind saying “is that REALLY true?” And just like that, the seed is planted. Even when you push it away for awhile, it still comes back, over and over. And one day, you realize you believe it. And that doubt, that lie, has become your truth.  You know what else starts as a still, small voice? Gods direction. You just have to stop and listen. Sometimes that means asking Him about your doubt or issue, sometimes it means simply focusing on Jesus and His beautiful power that surrounds you always.  Fear grows with attention. So does doubt. So does a 3 year old temper tantrums. So does your faith. Where is your attention going? What is clambering for your time, and what is winning? Because just as a 3 year old eventually gives up when he doesn’t get their way, Satan eventually stops trying. It may seem like a LONG time, and he usually tries to come back with something else, but you CAN win. In fact, we already...

Starting to Swim

“ …Your grace abounds in deepest waters Your sovereign hand Will be my guide Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me You've never failed and You won't start now.” Most of you have probably heard this moving song before by Hillsong United. It is a touching melody about allowing God move us into deeper waters. This theme, of going deeper into God’s heart, has been a recurring thought for me, and now I want to share those thoughts with you. The soft sand beneath your feet. The cool water at your fingertips.  The smell of salt in the air.  For me, this discribes one of God’s beautiful creations, the ocean. Though I am surrounded by land, I love our annual trip to Alabama’s coast line. It is refreshing to hear the waves crashing and just soak in God’s glory. But one thing is at the back of my mind whenever we go. Sharks. Although I know we will probably never swim far enough to actually encounter one, they have a powerful presence in the wat...
