Elsa's Journey

by Catnip4

All the other faeries were staring. Could she really accomplish it? Elsa, a young water faerie had bet half her beautiful seashells that she could find a pair of wings. She had always wanted them, she would be the first water faerie in Neopian history to get wings. Sara, the self centered fire faerie whispered to Elsa, "Even if you do get wings, they'll never be as gorgeous as mine. Everyone knows that!" "Shut-up, Sara! I know I'll get those wings! And I'll have them on my back when I come home! I'll make a deal with you, Sara, if I get the wings that I want, I get...hhmmmmm...your fire orb!" Sara said in doubt, "Fine, but you'll never get it, too bad, you would have worked so hard! Ha!" With a flip of Elsa's fin, she dove into the deep sea, splashing a gallon of water all over Sara. "My new leather jacket, it's ruined!" Elsa, dived, deeper, deeper, until she reached her little home made of colorful coral and seashells. She got out her worn bag she had bought at a shop in town. She packed her favourite seashell, her necklace, some grooming products, a staff, which her best friend, Colleen, the Earth Faerie had given her along time ago. She also packed a turkey dinner, some sandwiches, two bottles of water, and some delicious fresh fruit she had gotten at the health food store. She brushed her beautiful long blond hair, with a shut of her house door, she was off.

Elsa sat upon a grey rock high above where the waves barely touched the tip of her tail. She happily ate a bunch of grapes and started to sing softly. A strange sound had returned her call. It sounded closer. Now it sounded like footprints. Suddenly, a huge glass jar tumbled over her whole body. Her jar was filled with water and a loaf of bread. She looked around her and she could see a huge hand cupping the jar. She knew what was happening. She had been captured, one of the few fears of faeries. She was put into a large bag and walked over to the market place. There, she was then put on a high wooden shelf and tag in front of her read "WATER FAERIE 1000 NEOPOINTS." She looked beside her and saw yet another faerie, a light faerie. She too, was captured. She sat there, against the jar, bored and helpless. Over a number of times, Elsa could see her whacking the side of the glass with her wand. She was crying, and then she collapsed to the bottom of the jar and wept. She knew if the light faerie was not let out, she would die. She opened her bag quickly and took out her staff. She poked at the jar, trying to get the faeries; attention. To her surprise, it worked. The faerie sat up, now smiling at Elsa. She was motioning with her hands hitting the jar with something. Elsa started hitting the jar with the staff and the light faerie started clapping and smiling. After the tenth time of whacking, the glass broke and shattered like a mirror. Elsa quickly came to the light faerie and broke her glass too. The shop owner had heard the noise and came running to the scene. The light faerie, flying as fast as she could swooped near Elsa and grabbed her hand. They were soon flying out the door. Elsa could hear the shop owner screaming, "STOP! COME BACK!"

"So, what's your name?" Elsa had asked the light faerie. The light faerie didn't have a response. She could barely talk, let alone flying. She pointed to a beautiful purple flower. "Oh, so your name is Violet, nice name!" They flew for hours, until it was beginning to get dark. The light faerie came to a small stream and dropped her off there. "Oh, thank you so much!" The light faerie flew away and was soon out of sight. Elsa pulled out a loaf of bread, and saw a little baby Aisha sitting under a tree. She called out to it, and like the Aisha was in a trance he came waddling towards her. The Aisha was dragging one of its paws, and one of her ears was flopped on her head, the way some of the Cybunny's long ears do. "What happened to you?" Elsa asked quietly. "Some big meany came and terrorized me!" "What does he look like?" Elsa asked. "Well, he kind of looks like a bull and he's got lots of brown fur, and he said the whole time how many JubJubs and Wockys he had eaten in the last month. I was able to use my metal shield when he came toward me, and he hurt his head. Then I used my lightning beam. He ran away, and said he'd come back. Then I hid under the tree, and that's when you found me and you asked me what he looked like and I said..." "Okay, okay, I get the idea." Elsa had said just as she heard a galloping noise. It became louder, louder. What she saw made her almost faint. A huge herd of Monocerous were galloping towards them...

Elsa brought out her necklace, and told the little Aisha to hide behind the rock. Elsa pointed the necklace in the Monocerous' direction and did a count down to use all her water powers and abilities she had at the same time. "5," Elsa said as she hoped she would live through the rest of the day. She knew that if she used all her powers at once, it could make her weak, and lose all her powers. "5 is for my hope. 4. 4 is for how many times you hurt this little Aisha. 3 is for all the things I am going through to defeat you. 2 is for my friends back home, and how proud they will be when I get my wings, and 1 is for my faith, that I know I can do it. FIRE!" The whole sky looked like an ocean. Bubbles were flying everywhere. You could see them floating in the water. Quickly, Elsa grabbed the blue Aisha and started swimming fiercely, fast enough that she could make it to the end of the lake in just 2 minutes. She stopped near the shore and let the Aisha walk on land again. The Aisha closed it's eyes for a second and got a couple of deep breaths. "Thank you so much for rescuing me!" Elsa looked pleased and her blue eyes like crystal sparkled like the stars on a dark, quiet evening. A grin spread across her face and she said slyly, "But there is one thing I would like you to do for me. I've been traveling for five days almost, and I seem to have gotten lost. Have you ever heard of the faerie queen? You know, purple dress, crown, wings?" The Aisha smiled back. "Of course! Everyone here knows about her! She is so gentle and kind, but I tell you, she is VERY busy." "Oh, I know, but little Aisha, do you think you could tell me where she lives?" "Oh yes, definitely. She lives right there, you see that cloud? Well you sit on it, and up you will go to her castle. You can't miss it, it's quite big." Elsa was happy, "Oh thank you SO much!!! Bye!" She swam deep into the sea and continued her journey that was yet to be finished.

 

Elsa saw the silvered outlined cloud. She made a great jump and hopped upon the cloud. Magically, she was lifted just as the Aisha had said and brought to a beautiful castle, 3 times the size of her small house deep in the ocean back home. She tried to waddle around on the land, it took her a while, and knocked firmly on the door. It automatically opened, and there she was in front of the faerie queen's throne. "Yes?" The beautiful faerie said. "Um, well, I have come a long way, all the way from Neopia Village to here. I have journeys, I have been in a jar, sold, caught in a herd, and I feel tired. The reason I came to you is because water faeries are the only faeries that do not have wings, and if you gave me some, I would be deeply honoured."

 

The Faerie queen's look on her face told Elsa it would not be that easy to get wings. "Well, you can have wings, under one condition...you have to battle me, and if you beat me, you will win and get your pair of wings. If you fail, you must leave." "All right, I'm ready." Elsa said nervously, but she desperately wanted those wings. The Faerie Queen said, "We shall begin...now!" The Queen suddenly fired a rainbow frost cannon ball. It hit Elsa hard, and in just a minute, Elsa fell to the floor. Elsa picked herself up and fired her Level two bubble beam with her water jet at the same time. It did nothing to the Queen. It went on like this, hour after hour, and they were very, very tired. It was the last round, and Elsa took her earth staff, her necklace, and fired everything at the same time. The queen fell to the floor, and Elsa whacked her hard with her tail. 5 seconds until the battle was over, would the faerie queen get up? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Elsa had won!!! "She bent near the faerie queen and splashed some water on her to wake her up. Elizabeth, the faerie queen sat up, and rubbed her eyes. She smiled at Elsa. "You are the first faerie who has ever beaten me. In return are a genuine pair of jeweled blue wings." They shook hands, and Elsa adjusted the wings on her back. They were perfect and were just the right size. Her journey was complete. Now her latest thought: She couldn't wait to see the look of everybody's faces when she got home.
