This is Misty, coming to you from this mystical land we share with the fey! So, awhile back, something happened to me that was amazing, but a little freaky. I don't know if any of you have ever seen my other blog, but I am a gamer, and sometimes I do LARP, or Live Action Role-Playing. Well, I was doing it awhile ago, and I was pretending to feel uneasy right over where someone was supposedly buried alive. (only in the game, of course), and I suddenly get this pounding headache and fall down! I got the headache again whenever I was on that spot, and it went away when I left. So, either I was getting way into the part, or there was some magick going on. It did make my performance even better though! ;)
By the way, I'm sorry I haven't been posting, but I was busy crafting for the Craft Faire. I sell little faeries and enchanted jewelry. (It's only a small blessing though. The words are below) Anyway, The fairies are made with silk flowers, wooden beads, and pipe cleaners. Soon I'll post how to make them and a few pics. Maybe I'll be able to find the fairy queen......
The words to the blessing:
Beads so fine,
Strung on a string,
Full of Beauty and Hope,
Bless each with these three,
Safety, Love, and Joy!
Okay, at the Craft Faire, a friend told me about a magazine that publishes short stories. "Stone Soup" (the title is from a fairy tale, you should read it) Anyway, I will possibly get some stories in there, but I don't know. Therefore, I will post my latest story here. :) Here goes!
One day two sisters, Lily and Rose, went for a walk in the forest. They began to sing this song.
Oh, here we are, a-walking through the woodland,
Filled with flowers sweet,
Pick one, pick three, aren't the lovely?
Now, Lily's favorite flower was roses, but she dared not pick any, saying the fey would punish her if she did. Rose, however, laughed and picked all of the lilies, as they were her favorite flower. The Lily Faery was angry, as she now had no lilies left. She flew up to the girls and asked their names. Frightened that she would face the faery's wrath, Rose said nothing. However, Lily, knowing she had done nothing wrong, replied. "My name is Lily, and my sister here is Rose. Now, the fairy bid them come to faeryland, and they did. The faeries, believing the names indicated their favored flowers, welcomed Rose, and gave her the best treatment, as no roses had been picked. Lily, however, was cast into the dungeon in disgrace, and no matter how many times she told them she did not pick a single flower, they always asked, "Then who took all the lilies away?", and Lily did not wish her sister to be put in a dungeon, so she never answered. Rose, on the contrary, gave Lily to the fairies, saying, "I told her not to pick them", as she was afraid of the dungeons. And so the fairies didn't know that pretty little, kind-hearted Lily was the innocent one, and the pretty little, laughing Rose was guilty. Finally, tired of her haughty, moody ways, the fairies sent her away to home, but she wouldn't go, and locked herself in her room. In the meantime, the fey had been getting very close to little Lily, and soon could barely believe she could have taken the flowers away. Then one day when they asked her why, she said, "But I didn't, I wouldn't!" one faery asked, "I wonder at why, though you picked all the lilies, when we ask you if you want for something, you just say, one rose." To which Lily replied, "Because roses are my favorite flower." Then the fairies asked what Rose's favored flower was, she said, "Lilies of course!" And then the fairies, realizing their mistake, cried, "We must throw her in the dungeon!" "Oh no!" Lily cried "Please do not, I beg you, just let her go! I'll make it up to you, I promise, just let my sister go!" "After the way she treated you?" the faeries asked. "After she laughed as you cried, lied as you told the truth, and didn't even try a rescue?" But Lily persisted, and the fairies sighed. They let the sisters go, and they went back home, after so much time, and then Lily said to Rose, "After the way you treated me, you have a price to pay, give me all of your lily seeds. And Rose, who no longer cared for flowers, gave them willingly, and the Lily took them and planted them all in a ring around faeryland. Then she nurtured them every day, and when they had grown and bloomed out their glory, the faeries aid to her. "You are nice to those who were mean to you, and fix others mistakes, you took imprisonment with a cheerful smile, and never picked a bloom. Please, come to live with us, we beseech you!" And so Lily agreed, and went to live there, and Rose lived alone in her house.
Whew! That took forever to type! I hope you liked it! Faery blessings to you all!
Fairy Tip: The fey love sweet substances, like jam and jelly, (yes, they are different), so try leaving some out for them, they'll really appreciate it!
