FAERY MAGIC by Khadijat Muhammed (short novels in english .TXT) 📕

CHAPTER ONE.

Leisa looked into the mirror, turning from side to side she inspected her appearance finally satisfied with her reflection. She walked to her window looking down on her court lands, she had a lot on her mind, as today was the Court Day. The day that the four courts; Summer, Winter, Spring and Winter gather to celebrate a thousand years of fae peace after defeating the “ABYSS”. It usually started with a meeting among the for court kings or queens ,in which only their advisors were allowed to attend along with them, after the meeting a two day celebration ensues, where all fae from each court are allowed to attend. It was held biannually, and hosted alternately by the courts. This year it was to be hosted by her court, the Winter court where she was the queen.

There was a knock on her door. “Come in”, she answered. Blue her trusted friend and advisor walked in with a smile on her face, the blue aura that gave her her name shimmering around her. She was an Aura fae, they were extremely rear and powerful.

“Good morning your majesty’, might I say you look as regal and beautiful as always. Blue says while bowing with a playful smile on her face. “Bluuuuue stop’, you know I said you should stop calling me your majesty or your highness in private and for gods sake stop bowing its annoying.

“I know its just so funny seeing your face like this its always worth it, anyways I came by to inform you that the court meeting will be starting in three hours time that’s three o’clock “, Blue says as she determined the time. Also that all the courts have settled well into their respected lodges, with the Summer court in the Samrinth, the Spring court in the Acrome and the Fall court in the Quinteen.

Thinking to herself that these were the reasons she loved Blue, that even though she was sometimes playful and childish she was always competent and serious with her job.” And um Leisa” Blue added, ‘all the preparations have been made for ensuing celebrations all that’s left is to tie up the loose ends. Putting that aside leisa I’ve been meaning to ask this ever since I walked in, “why are you already dressed in your official dress when the Court meeting doesn’t start until three o’clock. “OH this, I’m going to see my husband and his court before the meeting and you will accompany me, I was just thinking of calling you when you came” Leisa says with a sheepish look on her face.

“Nuh uh uh no can do, If I accompany you I’ll just be left out and all those summer court fae will stare at me, like they’ve never seen an Aura fae before. “Come on blue you know Aura fae are rear there are like what? One or two in each court and I know you want to see Marian, pleeeeeease, pretty please with a cherry on top or do you want me to make it a royal command? “Fine, OK but you owe me one Leisa. Wait a sec, I need to change my outfit what I’m wearing isn’t suitable for a visit to the summer court. With a flourish Blue’s attire changed in peach dress that just reached her knees, it had a slip shoulder and a smattering of blue specs that combined with her aura gave the specs the appearance of hovering around her clothes. “All done lets go your highness.

“Bluuue” Leisa stood up with a sigh “never mind lets just go. Together they walked out of the room, in the hallway Leisa held out her palm and stared at it with concentration a small black ball appeared, she whispered “ ssaaaamrinth”, into the ball suddenly the ball grew and engulfed them both, a second later they were in front of the samrinth. Leisa had just conjured a fae portal, in the Winter Court only the queen could use a fae portal in the palace and it’s grounds, Blue could too but they had agreed to keep it a secret and that she could only use it in the case of an emergency.

“We’re here” Blue whispered beside her.”I know”, she responded. They walked into the samrinth nodding at the guard they encountered at the entrance, they walked further in going through a large hallway designed intricately with stuff unique only to the winter court, they continued on into to a large room, It’s ceiling so high you could only imagine touching it, every where you look you could see bright bursts of colour ,chattering her and there. Leila turned around taking everything in, turning to face Blue she said “I think they’re using here kind of like a common room, its so bright in here. “ I know ,I can never get used to the brightness they always carry around, but what can I say they’re Summer court fae” Blue said in response to Leisa

They were still standing at the entrance of the room, clearing her throat Leisa talked her voice magically enhanced so that every fae in the room could hear her “SUMMER COURT my greetings” all the fae in the room turned then bowed in respect to their Queen Consort. Then one of the fae stood up, taking a step forward he said “My Queen the king is In the Royal parlour upstairs, he said to direct you there if you came. Looking at him she recognised him as one of the kings messengers,“Thank you” she replyed.

With Blue at her side she walked up the stairs, they walked through a narrow hallway and up to the door they knew as the Royal parlour. Before Leisa could raise her hand to knock on the door, Blue shimmered and walked through the door. Leisa stood there surprised that Blue would go in without being invited. It was one of her powers as an Aura fae to turn completely into her aura and go through things. Suddenly the door opened, Blue and Marian, the Summer courts Aura fae, were standing there with laughter in their eyes. Before she could say anything to reprimand Blue, Marian pulled her into a big hug while squeeling Leeeeeisa, then she suddenly stepped back cleared her throat and bowed “Your majesty welcome” she said. After glaring at Blue with look that said I won’t forget this, she turned to Marian and hugged her back “Marian no need for formality after all you can consider this private enough.

Walking into the room she looked around ,not seeing anybody she turned to Marian, ”where are the others? She asked referring to her husband Liam and his three friends; Adrian, Zach and his advisor Nuel. “They’re not here they are in the inner room over there, I just got up here about to join them when I saw a blue shimmer come through the door and vwalla Blue appeared.

Together all three of them walked towards the door that led to the inner room. This time with a warning glare towards Blue, Leisa raised her hand and knocked on the Door. A voice she recognised as her Husbands answered “ENTER”.

Opening the door all three of them entered. As they entered the room, they saw all four men sitting around a table a serious look on their faces. The décor of the room was not that different from all the other rooms in the Samrinth, and it was the same with the rooms winter coolness clashing against the Summer fae’s brightness, as if protesting against their light. All four men looked up they’re faces immediately changing into big smiles ,with Liam’s being biggest. He caught her eyes and she just stood there watching him and taking every little detail in, his Raven black hair, his sunset Orange eyes, the stuble slightly growing on his face. Trying to make up for the time that she hadn’t seen him.

Suddenly there was a voice in her head, It was Liam. He was speaking to her through their mate bond telepathically. “Hey” he said, ”Stare much”. “I’m just trying to make up for the time I’ve not seen you, I’ve missed you baby”, she replyed. “Then come and give me a hug”. Getting herself together, she walked forward straight into her husband arms, immediately he wrapped his arms around her she felt at home. After staying like that for close to two minutes, she let herself loose turning to greet the other three men in the room. After greeting Nuel, Adrian and and Zach, Liam started to speak “How are the preparations for the celebrations going along, seeing as this is the first time the winter court will host the celebrations with you at the helm”, “It’s going along just fine and we won’t tell you the progress since its just for us winter fae to know, right Blue? Leisa responds her blue eyes twinkling, all Winter Court fae have blue eyes just in different shades, just as all the Spring Court fae have green eyes also in different shades, only the Summer and Fall court fae have different eye colours, with the Summer court’s being the most erratic, ranging from colours like purple to red.

Blue looks at everyone and says “I’ll tell”. “Traitor”, Leisa murmurs, everybody in the room laughs. After a while everyone is talking and laughing, Leisa turns on her mate connection with Liam and asks him, “Is something wrong Liam, I can see that your mind isn’t here and I also noticed that when we entered you look worried. Before he could reply Blue spoke up, “OH look at the time its five minutes to three, Your majesties, Nuel we better get going. Liam looked at her then told her with their mate bond that, “Don’t worry, its not anything we can’t take care of P.S you’ll find out at the meeting.

All the fae whose presence was required at the meeting, that is Liam, Leisa, Blue and Nuel got up and bid the rest fare well then made their way outside. “Which way do we go now”, Nuel said while looking left and right. “Wait stupid “, Blue said looking towards Leisa. Leisa summons another fae portal and whispers “meeeeein hall”. They were all suddenly transported to the MEIN HALL where the meeting would take place. “I thought fae portals didn’t work in the Winter Palace? Nuel asks looking puzzled. “Well only the queen can summon them in the palace dumbo”, Blue replys with smirk on her face.

“Well lets go inside, We don’t want to be late, do we? Leisa asks no one in particular. In response they all took a step forward and walked towards the door. A fae standing guard at the door bowed to us and announced ‘’ THE QUEEN OF WINTER COURT AND CONSORT OF SUMMER COURT LEISA ANDEL AND HER ADVISOR BLUE!!! He went on to announce Liam, “THE KING OF SUMMER COURT AND CONSORT OF WINTER COURT LIAM ANDEL AND HIS ADVISOR NUEL!!! All four of them walked in, Leisa and Blue leading the way, Liam and Nuel following close behind.
