Three Days in Neopia - A Faerie Story: Part Five

by puppy_princesslily

Ending Battle
Kithi, Nharetti, Siusabre, Riverwave, and Zhaylesa have reached the castle, but Asvorna came back. Can everyone escape? Zhaylesa crouched behind Nharetti. "Nialyind! Look what I bought for you!" Asvorna said, taking out a Cackling Negg. Nialyind shrunk back.

Confusion flashed on Asvorna's face. "All right then, Nialyind. Disobey me if you like. But it won't be as good for you as obedience will be."

Zhaylesa walked over into a corner and began to talk with Cliae. "So, do we have a plan?"

"Not really. There's the classic throw-everything-we-have at her plan, which could work, but it's unlikely. There is the other try-to-be-sneaky about it, but this isn't likely, with the way Nialyind is acting. So, I kind of thought of something else with Nialyind."

"What?" Nialyind passed the wand of the Light Faerie to Leskaya, who was right behind her. Leskaya ran over and handed the wand to Cliae.

"This," Cliae said, holding up the wand. It glowed slightly in her hand. "We can try the all-out fight approach. Then, when she gets tired, all of us can attack her with this. It'll knock her out, I think, or do something that wins the battle for us."

"Cool," Zhaylesa said. "Do I have to…" She shivered.

"Yes, you have to help out," Cliae said. "Do you have any weapons?"

"A few," Nialyind stuck her tongue out at Asvorna. Seeing this, everyone except Cliae and Zhaylesa took out their weapons, trying to be discreet. My tornado ring! Nialyind said inside Cliae's mind. "It's gone! Leskaya," Cliae said," can you try to find a tornado ring?"

"Sure. My collar is made of ice. Also, are there any trapdoors in the ceiling? I have some fire snow."

"You impertinent Faerie!"

Asvorna threw what seemed like a ball of green lightning at Nialyind, who dodged it. Leskaya bolted from the room, to find the tornado ring. Cliae sighed.

"Go, Zhaylesa," she whispered. Zhaylesa left to find a trapdoor.

"Magic Torch!" A light hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire room.

Meanwhile, Asvorna threw a poison snowball at Kithi, who melted it with her Wand of Flamebolt. Nialyind picked up the Negg and handed it to Nharetti.

"Here," she said. "Don't eat it yet. It's very special. Air Shield!" she said as another ball of lightning flew at her.

The ball of lightning whipped off her shield and broke Riverwave's bubble shield. Luckily, though, it bounced off his face mask. Riverwave held the Coral Orb and the ball of lightning. Zhaylesa was upstairs, and she opened a trapdoor.

"Here goes nothing," she muttered, uncorking the bottle of fire snow and pouring it down. The fire snow fell right on top of Asvorna's head and started to sizzle. However, Asvorna cast a brief spell to make the snow vanish.

"I learned that one from you, Snow," she said, grinning.

"Temporal Leak!" Siusabre had taken Cliae's sword and metal shield and slowed down as he came toward Asvorna. She grinned and threw another lightning ball at him.

"No!" Nharetti said, coming toward him. She took a very small bite of the Negg, and pointed at the lightning ball. It exploded, knocking out Asvorna and Siusabre. The lightning ball that Riverwave held vanished. Leskaya ran in.

"Nialyind, I found your tornado ring!"

"Thanks," Nialyind said.

A portal opened in the air, and the Faerie Queen stepped out. "Hello, young ones," she said. The Faerie Queen touched Siusabre, and he was fully healed.

"Thank you for helping all of us defeat Asvorna," she said.

"There is one other thing we must do…" Cliae held up the wand again. Its faint shimmer became a bright glow in her hand. The light in the ceiling had gone out, but this glow replaced all of its light and more. The Light Faerie also stepped out of the portal.

"My wand has called you, I see," she said. "You must be in charge of the spell that controls Asvorna for us. Ready?"

All ten of them gathered and put a hand, a paw, or anything else on the wand.

"Ready," Cliae spoke, concentrating all of the power they held. There was a soft explosion, and Asvorna's body disappeared.

"Thank you, Cliae," the Light Faerie said. "You may keep the wand."

"And that Negg is now yours, Nharetti," the Faerie Queen said.

"Thank you," Nharetti and Cliae said.

The Faerie Queen and the Light Faerie stepped through the portal, and Asvorna's body lifted up and followed them through. Then, the view through the portal changed to the sandy beaches of Omara Bay.

"Come on!" Kithi said. "Let's finish our adventure and relax on Mystery Island." The eight of them walked through the portal, and it vanished.

Epilogue
"That was a great story!" Daravrin said. "Thanks!"

"What happened to everyone after that?" Lilynris said.

"Asvorna's palace became a really big shopping mall," I said. "Lots of faeries and their pets go there to shop. Redwall_freak sent the story to me, and I revised it in a few necessary places. Then, I sent it in to the Times."

"What's that?" Daravrin asked. There were two pets fighting outside the window. "Come on, pay up the NP," one voice said.

"Remember I bet you that you would be in the Neopian Times, Riverwave?"

"No," another voice said. "You liar, you said that you bet that I would win an award. So you owe me 90 NP."

"You're the liar."

"If you give me 90 NP, I'll get a silver paintbrush for you," Riverwave said.

"Deal."

Siusabre returned to his owner's house after he had painted himself in the Rainbow Pool. "Hi, Zhaylesa! What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd drop by and see how all of you were doing," the white Aisha said. "Oh, by the way, why do all the walls of your house have pictures of little faeries and wings sticking out of them?" Siusabre looked at the walls. "I'm going to get NaColia and Tisane."

In the Deep Catacombs, Leskaya was drinking mint tea at the Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe and talking with Cliae and her friends.

"Great work, Cliae," a Uni said. "You have the ice shard-turned-Wand of the Light Faerie?"

"Yes," Cliae said, taking it out.

"Wow," a Wocky said.

"Amazing."

"Now, our next mission is going to try and get Leskaya back to her owner," Cliae said.

"What about Nialyind and Kithi?" Lilynris asked.

"They both were accepted into Cloud Tree University. After that, Nialyind decided to leave Faerieland, because she knew there was much more to life than sitting on her wings and casting spells." Lilynris and Daravrin giggled.

"Anyway, Nialyind moved to Neopia and became a pet owner. The NeoPets team found out about her and created the Air Faerie Quest game."

"Where? Where does Nialyind live?" Daravrin asked.

"Well…I'm Nialyind. But I'm not really a Faerie anymore. I think there are some potions that could turn me back into a Faerie, but I'd have to leave Neopia. And it's really nice here."

"Good! We don't want you to leave," Lilynris said.

"What about Kithi?"

"I don't know, but I think she decided to come here and play Gormball."

"Can we go play Gormball?" the two of them asked.

"We want to meet Kithi!" I smiled.
