Dear diary,

Who am I? What is my purpose?

I just thought it would be a great idea to start writing a diary, maybe Gaius’s idea is a good one, and having something like a diary would help me get through the strangest day of my life...or… maybe the first one(between, I hope I am doing this stuff right, I don’t think I’ve had a diary before)

Why? Let me tell you.. ( or write it down for you.. you get idea..)

All began… today…it was really strange.. I just woke up.. I am not sure.. maybe I was sleeping? It’s still a mystery how I got here..I… have no idea what happened before, I can’t remember anything about me…My first memory is about me being woken up in the middle of the woods I’ve never visited before..I am still in shock somehow.. I know I am missing something very dear.. I just don’t know and I feel this mad sensation is slowly driving to the cliffs of insanity.
A gentle touch interrupted my slumber, a touch of a small winged human, the being could fit into my hands, it was so small, yet so beautiful, it had green clothing and short brown hair with little eyes, so little I couldn’t tell their color, the flying creature flew up to my face, taking a closer look of it.
“A human? In the Blossom Woods?” ,it asked rethorically, tilting its head in curiosity.
“Blossom…. Woods?”,I repeat cluelessly, having in no idea where I was.
“Yeah… the one and only forest in which the ‘hidden’ village of fairies resides.. Uh..” , the fairy replied, changing its position in front of my face, flying slightly to my right side. The little being seemed to be very tired of something, because its accent was really ironic.
“Village.. of … fairies?” , I continued repeating what the fairy said, feeling a little awkward.. the world felt so familiar, yet so new, it was outright annoying that fairies were new for me.. for some reason.
“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT FAIRIES ARE?”, the winged midget replied.”HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK? IN A CAVE? IN A BARN?”, it was in shock, it began flying around with a great speed, and only a green little light was seen in its path.
“Sorry.. I’m really sorry..” ,I said, the situation was really awkward for some reason, I shouldn’t have apologized for that.
“You should be.. fairies are really unforgiving creatures…”, the little thing teased, slowing down and approaching me once again.”My name is Sprinkle, I am a nature fairy.”, it reached out its tiny little left hand for a handshake, but I was too big so my pinkie had to suffice.
“Hi Sprinkle….My name is…… is……” I said.. and I realised I didn’t even know my name…I have been in a complete shock ever since.
Besides.. that’s when I met Sprinkle.. so you should note that.. that little dork really grew on my heart.. if you know what I mean..(what’s a dork?)

“Wait.. what? Nature fairy?”,I asked, having no idea what a fairy is exactly.. let alone a nature fairy.
“Skip it..” ,Sprinkle shrugged playfully, creating a distance between me.. and her(I just realised her gender).
“You seem to be.. nice.. but really dumb. I don’t think our queen would be happy to see a human, but you need SERIOUS help, you hopeless thing.. anyway.. I am pretty sure if you had any evil intents in your mind, our queen would feel your presence and would alarm us about you.. so you can’t be that bad..”, Sprinkle continued talking, heading down away from me, again, she teased for no reason, and I was a little annoyed by that.”You’re coming.. or do you want to starve to death?”, she gave away a somewhat surprised look that I haven’t even stood up since I met her.
I look around for the first time, trees.. trees everywhere.. we were indeed in a forest, the trees were tall.. really tall.. we were like ants compared to them(ants? Duh!!!) , I was sitting on a path, I guess it was the main path through the forest which people use to take whilst venturing around here, so they wouldn’t get lost. I looked up, most of the trees were filled with pink flowers, beautiful indeed, and they covered up even the sky, the sun wouldn’t get its light through the flowers, so it was natural that at the roots of the big trees there were many mushrooms and moss everywhere.
I followed the green light, running with a heavy breathing, the wind was in my favor, its silent howl was really pleasant.I even saw more of the forest, and I saw even the wildlife:boars, bears, birds, foxes.. and many others.After a few minutes of sprinting around the fantastic place, Sprinkle suddenly goes of the path, and I follow.I ran through the forest, I bump into many plants hanging on the tall trees, but I make it, and .. like in the very center of the forest, I find a lake, with crystal-clear water, there, a circular little island, a willow tree growing on it, a tree with pink and red leaves, it was truly mythical.. truly beautiful.. I wasn’t sure.. it might be normal.. and I just don’t know it.
Sprinkle’s light starts to glow harder out of the blue, and the plants on the bottom of the lake line up to form a bridge on the surface of the water.”I am a fairy of nature.. and thus I have powers over it.”,she winked, flying over the tree.
I nodded in awe, and I cross the plant bridge with slow and steady steps. I was so afraid I would just fall in the water and would die because I can’t swim(wait…. From where I would know that I don’t know how to swim?)
“Hmm.. you must be somebody really nice. Usually, the tree kicks out unwanted visitors..”, she shaked her head wondering about me, looking at me, analysing me, having no clue of what she is searching for(judging by her face..).”She is really childish”, I thought.
I went past the trees leaves, which were so big and they reached out in the lake. I see a gigantic hole in the tree.. even a human could fit into it. “Hop into it..”,Sprinkle said, her light getting shinnier.. and I was pushed into the hole. I fell for minutes through a really long tunnel, I was in shock.. it happened so fast. I pop out at the end, and I see the wonderful imagery of a really small village…
It was the village of fairies.
The village was build around really tall trees growing really close to each other, despite that, they left a really big circle, which was filled in by many houses, populated by faries, some of them, the bigger ones, grew out of the tall trees. The trees themselves were in some kind of a pit, and outside the pit there were more trees, and those trees were in a pit too, and so on, until at the edge of the big pit were even taller trees, with a big crown of blossom flowers. Even though the flowers blocked most of the sunlight, it still manage to make its way to the village.. and in the right spots.. the imagery was so beautiful and anyone could feel safe there.. a strange aura felt the location. It was truly magical.
I looked around, but I didn’t have much time to do that.
“A HUMAN! IN HERE?”, I heard a chaotic voice shouting, scolding Sprinkle silently.
A blue fairy, bigger than Sprinkle(that might mean she was older? I was a little shy to ask…) with a golden crown on her tiny head. She a staff just as tall as her, with a silver crystal on its end, the dress she was wearing had golden floral decorations. Her hair was lightblue and was really long.She was really angry, her domain was penetrated by a human and she was constantly flying around in anger, like Sprankle had before. She spoke in a soft voice.
“What on earth did you think, Sprinkle?You know really well what happened last time! Why would you bring him here?”,she asked the young fae, “You could really well bring him to the nearest town!”, she continued lecturing the fairy child.
She looked at me, like I was some kind of dog with rabies(what’s rabies? You know what? Forget it.. I doubt a diary could answer my questions.. so I guess I won’t do stuff like that in the future..).
“Come boy, we’ll bring you to the sage trees… I am not sure wheter to trust you or not..”, said the queen, rising her staff high in the air, it flashed with a brilliant blue light, and in the next moment, a lightblue circle with strange writtings appeared on the ground in front of me. “Are you waiting for an invitation, boy?!”, she asked unpatiently.I stepped slowly on the platform, afraid of the nervous fairy queen, who was acting like a woman on that day of the month(WHAT AM I EVEN TALKING ABOUT? JEEZ…).The other fairies, of different genders, shape and colors were circling us in awe, “I guess they haven’t seen anyone like me for… quite some time.”, I dragged the conclusion.
The platform started moving, and I am transported high up in the air.. it was… magical, I mean, the circle on the ground was acting like an elevator and … by common sense(what’s common sense?), it wouldn’t be able to lift me up..it was literally the circle that brought me up that high.I was so.. dazed by the amazing feat of the queen’s power, that I realized something too late: the sage trees are circling the pit which of I was talking about earlier!The biggest one, which I was facing, was just like the one from before, it was a willow tree with pink and red leaves, but it was somehow more.. much more bigger and more majestic than its fellow trees.
It had bigger roots, which were somehow hanging out, its branches were much more longer and the leaves were huge, but beautiful.The other trees circling the pit were smaller than this one, and they had different colors, I saw: blue,red,yellow,purple and black leaves.But then I just heard.. .they could talk!
“What brings you here, your grace of the fairies, queen Ophilia?”, the tree with the pink leaves asked the blue fairy, with a deep and howling voice, which echoed through the deep, deep pit.
“A human has crossed our barrier, Salicus..”, the fairy wined, looking at Sprinkle, still scolding her through eye contact, she looked at me too, like I was some kind of threat to the whole universe of hers.
“Your highness, our barrier seeks to banish all evil from the realm of the fae, all beings that could or would seek to threat your kingdom are removed from the lake willow’s perimeter right when the creature steps in its domain. Thus, if one is not kicked out of its domain, it must mean, they are pure of heart and they have no intent to harm your or the village you rule over, any race they could be… even human.”, the trees all talked at once, in sync(again.. what’s sync?), in a really deep toned voice.
Ophilia made a “Hmph..”, sniffed angrily, looked at me, and then looked at Salicus again, waiting for him to reply, he stood silent.
“Boy, who are you, if may I ask?”, Salicus asked me, I didn’t expect him to be kind to me, but his tone was a really familiar one and I thought and still think that he’s a good and forgiving protector of the fairies(which he actually is.. as I later find out).
I looked at everybody confused… I didn’t even know my name…my age….or how do I look… I didn’t bother to look at my reflection in the water… it was so embarrassing.
“I don’t know..”, I finally said after minutes of silence, I had little sweat drops on my forehead, I blushed, it was really weird and humiliating.
Only the howl of the wind was heard, I felt its gentle touch with my hands. The tree’s wooden eyes were widely open for a short moment, and I still think.. and I will always think.. that Salicus’s eyes were widen for a reason.. related to me… something much more deeper… something doesn’t fit in the picture, and I have the feeling that I will never know...
Salicus just bailed on me and talked to Ophilia, “Your highness.. I think the only thing you may do is to make this one an immigrant to your village, and with the help of the shrinking solution, you must make him temporarily a member of your tribe.Help him discover this world, it wouldn’t good for the fairies reputation to let him on his own .”, the tree whispered after a long, long silence.
“But.. he doesn’t even know his name…”, Sprinkle .. finally opened her mouth.
“I think that is the least of your problems, princess of the fae.”, the tree replied shortly.
Wait, what…. She’s the freaking princess? She doesn’t look like one!
“Well.. we could give him a name after we get to know his element.. and his class.”, the queen replied boredly to her … presumably her daughter’s sentence.
“Element? Class?”,I asked, having no clues about what they were talking about.
“Skip it!”, they both said comically in sync, I realized, despite the conflict from before, they aren’t so different.
“If you wouldn’t mind now, ruler of the faes.. I must now turn in for my slumber… my leaves are getting older and older…”, Salicus said, shaking his branches.
“Of course, Salicus, I am grateful for your advise.”, Ophilia bowed her head, and then she bowed down completely, Sprinkle did too.. and after an awkward momment of staying idle.. so did I .
The platform returned to the bottom, slowly, but steadily.Queen Ophilia resumed her familiar tone, and anger.
“Now..We need to make so many ceremonies.. I thought I was done with all of them…”, Ophilia wined.”Come boy, we don’t have all day, and I thought I could have my tea session with the Ladybug…”, she talked to herself, as I walked with her.
“Ladybug?”, I thought.(I soon found out that the fairies have a good relationship with the ladybugs.. and their leader, queen or whatever is called the Ladybug.. so yeah..).
“Oh.. yeah.. I almost forgot…”, the queen said silently, she rose her staff high in the air once again.. and started to whisper fastly some pretty weird words.I felt.. really strange.. I could have thrown up any moment,I realised I’ve been shrunk.
The village seemed to much.. much.. much… much.. oh forget it… I was big just as big as Sprinkle, and the village, from a midget’s perspective, was HUGE.
We began to walk the mystic village, it was so beautiful, so alive, everybody was so joyful, so young.Fairy children playing outside, older fairies conversing about different stuff,there were shops schools, libraries, inns.The sound of conversations and happy children filled the pit with a never-ending noise.I looked around.. and I saw mirror.
That’s the first I saw my face.
My hair is brown and it reaches down to my neck, my eyes are green and pleasantly shaped. My nose is short and little nostrils, I must be very young, I still don’t know my age. I wore a red shirt,darkgreen shorts and gray shoes.
“Come on, boy! We don’t have all day!”, Ophilia shouted from afar.
I quickly ran in her direction, thinking about how I look.
We reached the center of the city(village is a way to put it midly, to be honest), and there was a great fairy fountain. Ophilia turned back to me, and shouted.
“Human from the outside world, are you ready to seek the ancient race of the Fae? Defend it with all the costs and put value into its culture, magic, and feats?”, she asked dramatically.”Do you feel ready to have an ounce of our grace and wealth, as a respected race of our realm? Do you feel fit to bear with our burden?”, she continued the questions, they were obviously part of the ceremony, so I replied with an awkward and silent “yes”.
I just realised then that the citizens were watching me, they were spectacting the ceremony..
“Oh, great hero of the fae, bestow the acknowledgement of his talents, and aid him in the path ahead of him.Aid his element and humanoid wings..make him a part of Glence, home of the fairies, mother of all fairies, and fairest of all the fairies..”, she.. prayed( I guess..) to the statue.
The monument was gorgeous, it was kind of the male version of the blue fairy, but much bigger and muscular, and his staff was radiant too, the man recreated by the statue was fairy too, with beautiful and long wings, adequate for his status.The men was dressed as royalty, with red everywhere, only white and gold here and there.It felt like… it was alive… and I mean, it IS alive.
The man’s staff flashed with a bright, yellow light, it blinded for some minutes. And as I regain my sight, Ophilia is facing me, I look at my reflection, and I have wings, and traditional fae clothing.
“Grant him his TRUE NAME..”, she shouted once again, and a even brighter light came out of the man’s staff.”…Elliot Normin!”, she finally spoke, after minutes of silence.

I still don’t know why they took me in that fast.. I mean… the queen had no intents.. and I repeat.. NO INTENTS of letting me in.. let alone join her tribe, but after the conversation with the sage trees, she just changed her mind? How? And why was the sage tree surprised?
I hear my “true name”.. Elliot… so … I am Elliot Normin…
I still have so many stuff to tell you… I still need to reach at the momment when I am writing this.. Bear with me.. you are the only thing that is fit to understand me fully, since.. well.. I basically talk to myself.
I…just… need some time to.. digest.
