My fairies begin their training sessions with the other fairies right after we left for the Eastern Shore encampment. They all gather together not far from the encampment.

“The first element to learn is the air element. Since we can fly through the air, making the use of the air will be easy for us. Now watch us how we use it.”

Tiger quickly flies in a tight circle to create a mini-tornado. Once it is created, Tigress gets underneath it to hold it in her hand. Then the rest of my fairies quickly get in a circle. They start playing game of ‘catch’ with the mini-tornado by throwing it to one another. Then they all take a hand in dispersing the mini-tornado by flying around it in the opposite direction.

Then the rest of the fairies try to make a mini-tornado. They find it really easy to do that. They created many groups so that each one has a chance to try it. Once the mini-tornados are dispersed into the air, they gather in front of my fairies again.

“That’s great everyone, now for the next air movement. You can send wind slashes from your wings at another person or object. That way you don’t have to be up and close to defend yourselves. It might take some practice until you get it right. For now, we’ll air slice some leaves while they are still on the tree.”

“Also, with more control and practice, you can make the cuts any size you want them.”

“That’s right, Tigress. Let’s show them how it is done. Watch our forward wing motion.”

My fairies fly around in a circle. Then one by one they approach a tree. They do a quick forward horizontal motion with their wings. Then little air currents quickly fly toward a leaf. Each one of them slices a small ‘x’ on a different leaf.

All of the other fairies quickly cheer out loud. Then my fairies take a group of fairies to other trees nearby. Most of the other fairies proved to be fast learners. However, there were some that took more time to get it right. After a half-mark later, they are able to do it. Then they hover in front of my fairies again.

“That’s great, my cousins. Now you need to learn how to do a group effort when you need to.”

My fairies look around for something too heavy to lift. They find an outcropping of large boulders on a nearby hillside.

“This should do, Tiger.”

“Yes, it can work, Ruby. We can have them fan some air to blow the boulders up the hillside. Let’s see if we can do it first.”

They fly in a vertical pattern. They continue to blow the boulder up the hill. They try it with several different sizes.

“We need to build up their confidence and make them heavier each time, Tiger.”

“That’s right, Lavan. Okay, let’s roll them back down the hill and get them into position at the bottom of the hill.”

My fairies soon get them rolling down the hill. They are able to control it so it won’t get rolling out of control. They then get the boulders into position side by side. They fly back to the other fairies and bring them to the boulders.

Once they have arrived, they explain to them what they are trying to do. Then my fairies get into position in front of the boulders. Then as a group, they fly vertically in a circle. Soon they get the boulders rolling up the hill and rolled back down with excellent control.

Then the rest of the fairies try it as well. They do it in groups of ten rolling the boulders up the hill and back down. There were a few times they needed help from my fairies when they tried to roll in back down the hill. After they have gone through the different sizes, they stop to take a rest.

“That was great. Remember, teamwork is very important. So, apparently we need a rest soon. Here is an air movement trick that we learned. We are going to create little ‘air scooters’ underneath us. It will allow us to fly around quickly without exerting too much energy.”

My fairies point their arms and hands underneath them. Then they spin the arms in a tight circle. Quickly, little puffs of air are generated underneath them. They quickly move about the glade. The other fairies catch on really quickly. Soon all of the fairies have little ‘air scooters’ underneath them. They giggle and laugh while they have a game of ‘tag’. After a quarter-mark they stop to catch their breath.

“I don’t know about you, but we are hungry. We burned up a lot of energy. When we get done eating, we’ll then move onto the water element.”

Quickly the unicorn fairies lead my fairies into the woods to find an assortment of nuts and berries to eat. They also change into butterflies so they can drink the nectar from the flowers as well.

After a half-mark of eating, they gather again to learn the water element near a creek that flows into the main river in the valley.

Tiger speaks up, “Water is the flowing element. Water is the element of change. To master water, you must release your emotions to wherever they lead you. Water teaches us acceptance. Let your emotions flow like water. Remember these words.”

“Who told you those words, Tiger?”

“Water Bending Master Pakku told us those words. We met him on the Avatar World in another multi-verse. We committed those words to memory.”

My fairies repeat the words again and again until they get the words memorized.

“We are now going to show you the basic moves. But, first you need to reach out with your minds and hands. Touch the water like this.”

My fairies hover above the water and put their hands into the water. Quickly their eyes glow a bluish color then it fades. The other fairies try it as well. They all became able to connect to the water when their eyes glow a bluish color then it fades.

“Why did we connect to it so fast, Tiger?”

“Because we are part of nature. We are part of the world the Creator created. We are directly connected to it. The world around us becomes our strength. We haven’t learned the earth and fire bending yet, but when we do, we’ll really be strong.”

“Where did you learn these element moves, Tiger?”

“The foundation is found in the martial arts taught in China.”

“We know there are fairies and unicorns in China right now. Some of them are kept hidden for protection from the dark shadow on our world. Let us hope your Richard will be able to defeat them.”

“We know he is able to do it, my cousins. Let’s show you what you can do with water.”

“The first motion is pushing and pulling back the water.”

My fairies put their arms and hands in front of them. They push water forward to create little waves from them. Then they pull back the water to bring the waves back to them.

“The reason we can do this is because of the moon. The moon creates the tides on your world. It is the same with our world.”

All of the fairies line up side by side. They push their hands forward. Then waves of water ripple away from them. Then they cup their hands to pull the water back. They create little waves of water coming back to them. They all smile that they can do it.

“That’s great, my cousins. Now watch our hand and arm movements. We are going to draw out a stream of water and let it fall back into the water.”

Tigress and my fairies do the arm and hand motion to draw out a stream of water and let it fall back into the water.

All of the other fairies give it a try. About half of them this time get the motions right. The others take more practice to get the flowing motion right with the wrist, hand and arm motion. After a few more tries they are all able to do it.

“That’s great. You need to keep practicing those first two motions every day. That way you can stay connected to the water in your mind. Now watch us how we create a water ball and keep it floating in the air.”

Each of my fairies draws out a stream of water. With their other hand, they bring up the water stream and break it from the creek. They gather their hands together as if to form a ball. The water comes up and forms a ball hovering in front of them.

“Now you need to hold it in the air as long as possible. Don’t worry if it falls back down. You are stretching your mind to get it stronger each day.”

The other fairies make the attempt to create a water ball and keep it floating in the air. Because of the experience with the water stream motion, creating the water ball proved to be easier for them. They are able to hold it in the air for five minutes before they let it fall back into the water.

“That’s great. Now there is a unique property about water. When you get your winters here, what happens?”

Some fairies quickly shout out really loud, “The water gets turned into ice.”

“That’s right. Now we are going to turn the water ball into ice and back into water.”

“How do you do that?”

“By using your mind again. With your mind you must lower the water temperature to make cold. Then with your mind, you can warm it back up to make it water again.”

My fairies quickly show them how it is done. Then the other fairies try it for themselves. Most of them get it right. It takes another five minutes for all them are able to do it.

“That’s great again, my cousins. Now here is something you can do with water. You can make ice weapons, ice shields and host of other objects. You can even make an ice weapon that will be hard as steel so it won’t shatter. It can even pierce a metal shield if you want to. You must use great wisdom when you need to make a weapon to defend yourself. There are other ways to defend yourself. We’ll show you how.”

Soon my fairies create several ice weapons of spears. They ‘throw’ them at several boulders along the shore line or into the ground. But the best defense they are shown is to use water streams around themselves. My fairies do a quick demonstration of fighting each other. Each one is able to defend itself from the water and ice attacks that is thrown at them. Soon, the other fairies quickly realize that is a better approach to defend themselves and their own unicorns.

“Remember it is up to your imagination how you want to use the water bending element. The last thing we need to show you is this. Water is also used in the healing arts. Water is needed for life. Water can heal simple cuts, if the heart stops after being hit by lightning, you can restart the heart. However, it cannot mend broken bones, that will take the effort of a healer or a doctor who has that knowledge.”

Tigress continues with the teaching lesson, “That’s right, Tiger. The first thing to remember when you heal with water, you must let the water do the healing. Do not use your own life force to heal the body. If you did, then you will end up sacrificing your life for another. Remember, life is a precious gift from the Creator.”

“Now watch us how we can heal a simple cut.” Tiger quickly flies about to find an animal. He finds a small family of deers nearby. He explains to them what is going to happen. They agree to show and tell.

Lavan takes his knife and cuts a small gash on the deer’s rear flank about an inch long, a drop of blood comes out. The other fairies gather around to watch the demonstration. Tiger takes some water and holds it in his hand. He places his hand on the cut. He concentrates on the wound and the hands. His hands soon glow a golden color. They see the wound on the skin become whole once more like it was never harmed.

All of the fairies cheer that the cut is healed. The other fairies quickly go up to the other deers. Some find some scars on the male head deer. They hold some water in their hands and place it on the scars. Soon those scars are healed as if they were never in a fight. Some of the other fairies quickly make small cuts on the other deers. It doesn’t take long until everyone has a chance to try it.

The family of deer give their thanks that their old scars are healed before they head back into the forest.

“Well, that is all we have to tell you. Now you can help your own unicorns and yourselves better protection.”

All of them cheer and thank my fairies many times over. Then they fly back to rejoin their unicorns and the Cherokees back in the encampment. They do their own show and tell for all of them. All of them give praise to the Creator that they can do more than ever before.

My Brianna tried to do the same thing for the ladies and the shamans the healing arts. It is discovered they can use the water aspect of healing for the body. The shamans greatly thank the Creator for showing them another method to help heal the body. They are also relieved that the women can do it as well. They can’t be everywhere at once. They decide the more difficult healing cases will come to them.

However, what is unique, the men and the braves discovered they can’t do any air or water bending yet. When they tried it, they got very little results for their efforts by themselves. But, when acting as a group, they discover they can do the impossible.

We arrive back in the camp from the Eastern Shore encampment in the afternoon. Everyone shows their new abilities to the Chieftains and the other braves. The Chieftains give praise to the Creator that they can do more than ever.

Everyone lends a hand in making a grand celebration evening repast for everyone present. Another lodge is set up for my Brianna and me to sleep in tonight. My fairies agreed to spend the night with the other fairies. I see they have made great friends among themselves. I wonder if any of them will stay here or be with me this time.

Brianna feels my emotional heart strings being pulled. She reads my mind very quickly. She takes her hand and puts it around my waist and draws me closer to her. “I feel your pain and misgivings, Richard. Let us pray they come back to us.”

“I hope so too, Brianna.”

We turn around to join the others in the encampment. About a dozen small fires are lit up to feed everyone. The women walk down to the stream to catch the fish for evening repast and collecting fruits and nuts from the trees. Corn is brought out from their food bags they brought with them. It takes about a mark on the sundial to get everything ready, cooked and served up to everyone present.

Uktena and her two children fly over to the main river in the valley. They swoop down and put their mouths into the water. They quickly gather up fish into their mouths to eat. Once they had their fill, they fly back to their lair. It is located in the Ohio Valley where they have their nest. Uktena and her brood do not dwell in the mountains like the other dragons do. They like to see the rolling landscape before them. They have excellent eyesight to see very far. Uktena gives the good news to her mate and her other two children that the Omega Unicorn and the Omega Unicorn Dragon are now among the animals in the multi-verses.

We have a grand time eating the evening repast. Afterwards, we all give thanks to the Creator for his wonderful blessings. We do this by chanting a Cherokee song of thanks to the Creator. I discover it is the same song that I learned back on my Earth when I’m with my Cherokee friends.”

Then we watch the sunset in the western horizon. We see the clouds change color like the colors of the rainbow. We see a thunderstorm cloud on the horizon. It will miss to the north of us. We give thanks again when we see the rainbow set in the clouds. Then we see the stars shining brightly. I see the same constellations as I saw them back on Earth. About an hour later, the full moon comes up very brightly to make its dance across the night sky.

After we see the spectacle before us, we all retire to our lodges. The unicorns and the centaurs gather together under some leafy trees. The fairies quickly make grass beds for the night. They use large magnolia leaves to cover themselves for the night.

During the night, Wizard Richard, Sorceress Brianna, my Brianna and I have the same dream together. We find ourselves somewhere else. It is not the flower field in heaven. We see a dark gray pallor over the land. We see demons flying through the air wherever they want to go.

“Where are we, Wizard Richard? I don’t recognize this place.”

Sorceress Brianna and Wizard Richard quickly hold each other hands. “I know where we are at. We are in the Isles. This is where we come from. We fled to the Americas once we heard there is a murder contract out for us.”

My Brianna and I hold our hands as well. “Our families are from the Isles as well, my friends. However, they fled the Isles about three hundred years ago. We know we are descended from royalty that goes all the way back to King Arthur.”

“Will you ever claim the throne again?”

“That will be the hard part. Right now Mordred’s Legacy has been keeping the current monarchy in power. The Mordred and Morgana Le Fay on my world made a deal with the devil. They have elfish blood within them so they can live a long life. Right now we are just waiting for the right moment to claim the throne. We think it will happen when some disastrous event will happen to the monarchy line. Are you related to any monarchy on the Isles? When did the darkness arive here?”

“We are from royalty, Richard. The darkness arrived here about five hundred years ago. It quickly spread throughout Europe, Africa and Asia and the islands. The Americas are the last continents for them to conquer. The center of the darkness is in the Hague, Holland.”

Sorceress Brianna speaks up, “Because of the darkness, the demons make sure the royalty are possessed first. When I was born, my parents discovered I couldn’t be possessed. I have an uncle and aunt who hid me in their family in Scotland. My uncle told me I had a white glow about me when a demon tried to possess me. When I became of age, I was told our family heritage. I was told there is an ancient prophecy that I would be paired with my husband who would be the Omega Unicorn Dragon. He would be from Wales.”

Then Wizard Richard speaks up next. “Yes, I am from Wales, Richard. I am descended from royalty as well. Our kingship runs through my bloodlines. My father is a Duke in Wales. His uncle is King of Wales. Just like what happened to Brianna also happened to me. I too glowed with a bright white light when a demon tried to possess me when I was born. I was immediately hidden from the rest of the royalty in Wales. I took residence with the Moores in Wales.”

“Is there a Caledfwlch in Wales?”

“Yes, there is, Richard. It is currently buried in the lake at this moment.”

“So that means you have your own King Arthur background.”

“That’s right, Richard. However, our Mordred and Morgana Le Fay didn’t cause problems for King Arthur. They lead good lives. The royalty line is still intact since King Arthur.”

“That’s interesting, Wizard Richard. There are similarities and yet there are differences between us.”

“Yes, there is, Richard. In our prophecy, it is the Omega Unicorn Dragon who will reestablish the light on the world. The darkness will be defeated once and for all. They only question I have, since I am the Omega Unicorn right now. How do I become the Omega Unicorn Dragon?”

“You will need to make a trip to China. There you will learn the way of the dragon. It is directly opposite from the Isles on the globe. I learned my animal fighting skills from the Shaolin Monks.”

“But you haven’t been to China yet. How or where did you learn it?”

“About three hundred years ago, the Shaolin Monks were persecuted by the ruling Kings and Emperors in China at the time. They fled to the other parts of the world. They set up new Shaolin Temples wherever they could. They set up several temples here in the Americas.”

“So, they came to your America. It looks like I will have to go to China.” Wizard Richard turns to his Brianna. “Are you ready to make a journey to China?”

“I will go wherever you go, my husband. We have a destiny to fulfill on our world.”

“That we do, my love.”

They hug and kiss each other warmly. A white glow appears around them. Then they come apart and look at us. The white light fades a bit.

“Is there any light in the Isles, Wizard Richard?”

“There is Richard. We must come here first before we go the Hague. I know an enclave of Wizards and Sorceress here. They are doing the best they can in fighting the darkness. However, it has been a standoff. With your presence, they will gain new confidence that all is not lost. It is located in the Forbidden Forest in Scotland.”

“Is there a castle there by the name of Hogwarts?”

They smile back, “Yes there is, Richard. Apparently there is a Hogwarts on your world as well. It is in Hogwarts where we met for the first time.”

“There is, Wizard Richard. A hundred years ago, a young wizard by the name of Harry Potter defeated Voldemort.”

“That’s interesting. Our Harry Potter is the current head of the school. It looks like we’ll have an interesting conversation when we meet him.”

“Yes, we will.”

We then fly back to the Americas. We see the sun coming up from the horizon. We enter back into our bodies and wake up well rested in the morning. We get ourselves dressed appropriately for the day. I put on my armor first, then the outer clothing to hide it. I put my helmet and the gauntlets in the satchel. We step out of the lodge to meet the morning sun. We see my fairies flying to us to greet us in the morning. We see they are not alone.

We see Stellarwind and Sapphire approaching us. Then we see Lavan and Bianca each have a fairy with them, hand in hand. They introduce themselves to us.

“Hello, my name is White Acacia and this is my sister, White Rose. We are from Stellarwind and Sapphire. I think we have fallen in love with your Bianca and Lavan. Will you please accept us into your family?”

Brianna and I look at each other with a slight smile. We turn to face them.

“It was bound to happen. Stellarwind and Sapphire do you agree to the arrangement?”

“We do, Richard and Brianna. So, far these are the only two who wish to come with you. So far, none of your other fairies wish to stay with us at this time.”

“Then Brianna and I agree to the arrangement. White Acacia and White Rose are accepted into my family. Lavan and Bianca are heart tied to my wife. They now have their own soul mates to help my Brianna.”

All of the fairies quickly cheer for their acceptance. The four of them quickly fly to Brianna and sit on her shoulders. They quickly hum a tune of love and togetherness. A tear comes down my Brianna’s face. They quickly taste the tears and wipe it from her face. Then they sense something new about Brianna. They hover in front of Brianna. They put their hands onto her stomach.

“You are pregnant. Is this your first child, Brianna?”

“It is White Rose. We just consummated our marriage some time ago.”

“Congratulations!” Then they fly over to me and check me out. “You are not pregnant again, Richard.”

“I am not, White Acacia. I am currently in my six-month rest period. My last pair I gave birth to are Levi and Shiri. It is during my six-month rest period that I train the hardest to earn the Black sashes for the Shaolin Dragon Master title.”

“Well then, we’ll rejoice when you give birth to another pair of fairies.” They fly up to Stellarwind and Sapphire. “We’ll miss you, father and mother.”

“We know, White Acacia and White Rose. We will all miss you. Be glad in your hearts that you found your soul mates. Think of us when you need to. You are joined with the Omega Unicorn Dragon on his Earth. You won’t be alone. You will help them to achieve their destiny. There are other fairies on their world that you will meet. You will help them when needed. Grow in love with your new family.”

They each shed a tear. White Acacia and White Rose quickly put their hands into the unicorn’s tears and taste it. They put their own tears onto their unicorn lips to remember their taste and smell.

Then they fly to Brianna and sit with their soul mates on her shoulders. We gather with the Cherokees to have our morning repast. The fairies all have nuts and fruits to eat After we have the morning meal of fish and corn, wooden goblets are brought out from the lodges. All of the centaurs, the Cherokees, and us each have a wooden goblet in our hands.

Chief Black Raven speaks up next, “This goblet contains fruit juice from the trees that we grow on our farms. The fruit tree is the pawpaw tree. It is a very thick yellow fruit juice. It is very good for you. Let this cup of juice be a sign of good will for all of us. We are thankful that we have our own Omega Unicorn now. He and his wife will rule with justice when they reign on the Isles. If they don’t, they are greatly welcomed here to stay among us.”

“Where will they stay, Chief Black Raven?”

“They will stay in Atali Unega. There is a cabin near one of our ceremonial fire locations. It is where we do the Corn Dance.”

“That’s interesting, Chief Black Raven. On my world, there is the same cabin. It is also located near that twin fire ceremonial location. The Cherokees also do the Corn Dance there as well.”

“Then that is a special connection between our worlds. There is continuity throughout the cosmos in that one location. Indeed we’ll celebrate the time of the Corn Dance with special emphasis. From there, peace will reign throughout the cosmos. We will thank the Creator for his wonderful blessings upon us for all time.”

We lift the cup up. Then we drink the thick nectar. My fairies dip their hands into the thick juice to taste it as well.

“This is good father, mother, Omega. We need to have this fruit tree as well.”

“We will Emeril. I’ll make sure we have a tree at the cabin and our future house.”

“Now go to the Isles. Bring light back to our world. Defeat the darkness and drive it away from all of our lands. You have taught us well on how we can defeat the demons. They will flee from us once they realized they are not welcomed here anymore.”

We put our satchels upon our shoulders. Wizard Richard makes sure the wooden box is in his satchel. Our Briannas put their hands onto our shoulders. My fairies quickly fly into our coat pockets. Then all of the shamans gather around us. They each bring out a quartz crystal. They recite a short spell to make them glow with a bright white light. Then we recite the spell to transport ourselves to the Isles. We disappear in a blink of an eye and fly to the East. We fly across the Atlantic Ocean at a very high rate of speed.

“Apparently the white light gave us an extra boost to fly faster, Wizard Richard.”

“Yes it did, Richard.”

Then we see a black shadow on the horizon. As we approach the Isles, we see a white lighted area in Scotland.

“That must be the Forbidden Forest.”

“Yes it is, Richard. I estimate it is noon time here. The sun is directly above us. We’ll land and appear just inside the front gate entrance.”
