Aurelia was a Light Faerie who would do anything to help others by cheering
up them up or saving their lives. She was the most helpful faerie in Neopia.
On her free time, she always fluttered around on her faerie wings and watched
the beautiful sunsets.
One day, she was sitting on a rock when she suddenly heard a whispering in
the distance. She flew over there and saw Balthazar
talking to himself as he planned his notes. Aurelia hid behind a tree and listened
carefully.
"Well, well, well, this will be the finest capture! There is a party out deep
in this forest, Faerie Forest!"
"Nobody told me about any party," Aurelia whispered to herself and then continued
listening.
"I will set up an invisible net above the food table, because at a certain
time, they will use it for a special occasion! Tonight, I have to get everyone
over there, and then capture them all! Even Fyora the Faerie Queen! All those
faeries will be bottled and Fyora will stay in my magic protected cage for all
eternity! Ha ha ha! Now to set up!" Then Balthazar walked away.
"Oh no!" said Aurelia. "Everyone knows only the owner of the magic protected
cage is the ONLY one that can open it! I've got to save them!" Aurelia flew
off to plan.
Two hours later...
Fyora was talking to every faerie around the forest.
"I would like to thank everyone for coming to the 50th annual Small Faerie
Party!"
Everyone cheered with delight.
"I have been assembling the plans!" Fyora pointed a stick on a tree which
showed a schedule. "First, we will share our ideas which will go to Faerieland
and if it fits, they will be awarded. The best one will receive another magical
power which they will need to be able to become the new Uber-Faerie which will
take place in 200 years! Secondly..."
It all went on and on and on until the real information both Balthazar and
Aurelia needed.
"Then we will have dinner at the table and celebrate. Yes, you can chat at
the table. No you can't use magic to make a food disappear if you don't like
it. This will take place in an hour and a half. And then..."
There were ten things to do at the party, but the fifth one was the most important
one for those that wanted know about the plan. They did what they needed to
do. Then finally, it was time.
"All right!" said Fyora. "Time to go to the food table!" That was Aurelia's
clue. She flew down and stood in front of the food table blocking the way.
"STOP!" Aurelia shouted
"Aurelia! Get out of the way!" shouted Fyora.
"Balthazar is here!"
Everyone gasped at that.
"Wait, let me check," Fyora said. She murmured some words and suddenly, all
invisible things appeared, including the net.
"Wait," Fyora said. She murmured a few more words and suddenly, Balthazar
was in sight.
"Get him!" Fyora shouted.
All of the faeries gathered up the tree and started throwing rocks at him.
Balthazar ran deep into the forest shouting only once. "I'll get you for this
Aurelia! If its the last thing I do!"
Aurelia didn't know what he meant. She told everyone to stand back. Then she
removed the net and then it disappeared into nothingness.
"Aurelia, thank you for saving us! Please, take this."
Fyora handed her a small bag. Aurelia reached in and pulled out a Sword of
the Air Faerie.
"Thank you Fyora," replied Aurelia kindly. "Now I have to go!" Aurelia tucked
the Sword of the Air Faerie in her pocket and off she went.
Three days later...
Aurelia was back to her normal life again with an addition to practising fighting
with her sword, but she planned on only using it in an emergency. Later that
day, Aurelia was taking a walk when suddenly, she was snatched up.
"AHHHHH!!!" Aurelia screamed. She looked up and found the face of Balthazar.
"I told you I would get you!" Balthazar snarled.
Aurelia was about to get her sword out when she was placed in a bottle and
was taken to a cabin.
"This is where I plan to put other faeries when they are really mean to me
by saving faeries and messing up my plans."
Balthazar took out Aurelia and plucked her wings off, removed her ability
to do magic spells, made sure she doesn't glow, and put her in the jar.
"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Aurelia cried. "How could this have happened? It's
broad daylight!"
"I won't sell you!" Balthazar said as he put air-holes in to the lid of the
jar. You will no longer fly around Neopia! I will put you in the most dangerous
spot! The Whirlpool!"
Aurelia gasped. The Whirlpool is one of the top three most dangerous places
in Neopia!
"But what if I drown?!" Aurelia shouted.
"Better get a new cork!" Balthazar shouted. He removed the old one, threw
in an unlimited underwater breather and replaced it with a new cork.
"You shall go inside tomorrow! Go on the shelf!" Balthazar put the bottle
on the shelf and went to a room where he planned on spending the night.
The next day...
Balthazar prowled out of the room, ate a Chia treat, and, as he went outside,
he remembered something. "Oh right!" he said. "You!" He grabbed the bottle Aurelia
was in and made his way to the whirlpool. He said his last line to Aurelia:
"Have a nice eternity underwater!" Balthazar snarled and plunged Aurelia in
the middle of the whirlpool.
Two weeks later...
Aurelia was sitting at the bottom of the jar. She sighed. She couldn't fly,
use her magic to get herself out, or glow to make a signal. She was also dead
tired of the view.
Up above...
Daydreamer_daydream and Gimmer_shimmer were hovering above the water above
the whirlpool. They were both Pteris. Daydreamer_daydream was blue and Gimmer_shimmer
was spotted.
"Maybe I can find something down there," Daydreamer_daydream said.
"Please, PLEASE be careful!" Gimmer_shimmer pleaded. "That whirlpool could
have you spinning down there forever! Please! Take this just in case!" Gimmer_shimmer
handed her a Water Faerie.
Daydreamer_daydream opened the jar and was able to breathe underwater. She
dropped the jar, made the ability happen, and down she went. Then the whirlpool
got her and she drifted to the bottom. At first, she panicked and her water
breathing ran out. Then she gathered all her strength, and sped up grabbed something
along the way. Little did she know that what she grabbed was Aurelia's bottle.
Daydreamer_daydream got out of the water and flew up to Gimmer_shimmer.
"Are you OK?" asked Gimmer_shimmer.
"I'm fine," replied Daydreamer_daydream. "I got something too!"
They flew back home back in the window just as their owner, gentle_lil_queen,
walked in the door.
"Hi girls!" said gentle_lil_queen. "Did you behave while I was gone? What's
that?"
"We did. We don't know what that is yet," said Gimmer_shimmer. "I just know
that..."
Then she got lost in a daydream about her past. Terrible. Just terrible.
