The Absorption of Powers: Part Five

by silver_phoenix

"You've nowhere to go, Natas. Now tell me-you better be grateful it's me not someone else- why did the Dark Faerie want to capture the Fire Faerie. Some Faerie rivalry and all those details you can spare me. Overall, what was the problem?" said Starlingrad in a shot without taking a breath.

Natas saw no reason for hiding the truth; after all, the Dark Faerie had abandoned him for Jake. Natas had sacrificed several years of his life just to serve the Dark Faerie, and the end result? He was just a puppet, a servant, and a slave. He meant nothing to the dark queen. He smiled and said, "The Dark Faerie was overly-obsessed with trying to be the most, greatest, worst-feared Faerie in Neopia. She wanted powers; powers of strength. Powers not many had. And one day, her fantasy came knocking on the door in the form of doctor sloth."

Natas screamed and than abruptly laughed, "Doctor Sloth said using his 'Black Crystal Smoke'; she could absorb the powers of the great and almighty. And of course, naturally, she chose, Faerie, Silver, the most powerful of flame abilities. The Dark Faerie would be famous, be notorious, and be the demon of absorption of powers. But look at her now! Lo! She has gone to hiding in a small hole in the ground probably."

Starlingrad listened with interest, and turned to Shari. Shari was not weeping, she promised Silver not to. As the Fire Faerie got taken away by the Faerie Queen never to be seen again, Silver thought of Jake. Never had she felt so much hatred for a Lupe. She smirked; Silver had helped her taken revenge. And yes, in replacement of Jake- Starlingrad.

Before Silver had died, she had said, "I am always on your side, no matter how alone you feel you are." Silver changed her name to ShariAnna. In memory of Anna Silver, the Fire Faerie. ShariAnna took a deep breath and said to Starlingrad, "Let's go."

"Yes, let's go," came the reply.

The red humid sun of Tyrannia suddenly changed into the sad and mournful rain as if crying out for the lost of an angelic Faerie.

The rain fell on Natas. He walked away, slowly; after he saw Shari and her friend, walk far out of the volcano. When they had walked a far distance away and became stick figure like, Natas took a deep breath and smiled. He was free at last-from the evil grasp of his ancient dark beauty, the Dark Faerie. It happened all too suddenly, but yes, he would start life anew. He would change unto a new leaf.

Natas sang a soft song under his breath- one that no one would ever hear of,

"The battle of good and evil,
At the red sky and land.

Betrayed, deserted,
Hurt, and revengeful,
Doves could have turned into,
Black crows of night.

But crows were overthrown,
Now hiding in holes filled with dirt,
The Dark Faerie and her slave,
To live forever in agony and pain.

While the pure and demure,
Dove, angel, goddess,
Fire Faerie Silver,
Gone forever,
Into the lands of Haven.

Shari of brave heart and soul,
To mourn for the lost of such great queen.
And Starlingrad,
Never to forget,
Such almighty battle,
That will never happen again,
For a long time."

After a month of traveling, ShariAnna and Starlingrad both came to my house, where they were warmly received by my NeoPet, xGoldenAngelx, but call her Angel, really!

In the future days they were to become best friends. Although I never told them what the Faerie Queen told me-that the Dark Faerie would one day rise again, and that Starlingrad would be blessed by the greatest ancient Faerie of all times--I knew that whether they were prepared for another adventure with the dark queen or not, for the present now, just for now, they were living happily in perfect harmony with me…

Nobody knew what happened to the Dark Faerie, and Jake. Some say they are in hiding in the haunted forest. Some say they are still in Tyrannia, at the volcano. Whether gossip or truth, they never appeared, at least for a long time now.

In the warm happy glow of the morning sun, three NeoPets played as if they lived this happy from the start of their lives. The Shoyrus was wearing a dark black dress with a coat over, and the Grundo was wearing a black suite with a yellow orange tie.

"Yo! I'm ShariAnna," cried out ShariAnna.

"Hey! I'm xGoldenAngelx. Call me Angel," giggled Angel.

"Har-Low there! I'm the coolest. Call me Starlingrad. Please pronounce as Star-link-grad," said Starlingrad taking out his sunglasses.

The trio played in the sun the entire day, living a day at a time.

The End
