Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If a fairy could fulfill one wish for you, what would it be, and why?"

Once Upon A Time,
In a land far, far away...
A form most sublime
The last of the fae.

By chance our fates
Became entwined
As the queen's gates
Ushered us inside.

Our sad and noble queen,
Alone to rule to lands,
From meadows most green
To the scorching hot sands.

She begged of us two--
the lonely fae and I--
"Please commit the great taboo,"
"And create an endless sky."

Magic powers were waning
And the moon's descent
Was slowly gaining,
But all the mana was spent.

No longer could the elves
And dragons and gnomes
Keep the moon up by themselves,
And protect their precious homes.

With no other choice
The queen turned to us.
Me--with a wish-calling voice
And the Fae--with its last 'elius'.

The life source of the fae,
Its one and only chance,
To grant a wish then fade away...
Such were the circumstance.

I protested--how could we expect
The fae to give up its elius
For the race that plundered and wrecked
And killed the fairies for wishes?

But the fae was tired,
Of being alone in its nest,
And now all it desired
Was the final, eternal rest.

So with a bittersweet smile,
I nodded and sang in anguish:
"Then please, rest for a while,"
"And grant this kingdom's last wish."
