LK hummed softly to herself as she led the group of spirits she had decided to bring with her today to the meeting place she had arranged. The ever air-headed guide had decided that this particular group needed an outing and she arranged to let them meet some of F a l l a c y's spirits.
The two in the lead of the pack, Fai'Mai and Ophelia were softly chatting amongst themselves about something; the bunny spirit almost bouncing as she followed the guide. She had yet to travel outside of their glade after her last meeting with Mr.Knight in Christmas armor!
Ophelia on the other hand wasn't as enthused, she had never seen any need to leave the glade! There could be harmful spirits lurking around the corner and then they would all meet their ends. Again. For everyone but their guide who'd only met her first end. She tossed her hair over he shoulder and frowned at the back of the guide, but begrudgingly followed.
Saiph on the other hand was a mixture of both; he had yet to be able to grant one single tiny wish she he had arrived in this real and it had put him through an absolute panic! Had he lost his power? He couldn't even begin to imagine being without it, the power to grant wishes defined who he was!
Sparing a reluctant glance forward Saiph noticed that Fai'Mai had offered him a reassuring grin. She had taken a fondness too him because he reminded her of a child, most would take that as an insult, but Saiph didn't really mind the babying she provided.

Acy had rounded up a few of her spirits to go to a place where they can mingle with others. She looked back and noted some where happy and others were miserable about the outing. She pondered on when to ditch them.
Sir Anstice walked along side Acy with a smile on his face. He had a good feeling about today and his spirits were high. 'I wonder if today will be the day...' he thought to himself as he walked.
The Prince was traveling in the middle of the small group, carrying the pillow and glass shoe that he had so painstakingly took care of. How he longed to meet his beloved Princess again and yet how quickly his hopes of meeting here in this afterlife diminished. He hadn't moved on to the final resting place and what if she did? They would never meet up again... Never.
Era's ears twitched in disgust. This was such a bothersome journey. Mingling with other spirits? Pfft. Who needed friends and family. It was all a weakness.

LK let out a triumphant giggle when she noticed the other guide. "Heey~ we're over here!" And thus she began to run over to where she could see the others, with her bunch following behind.
Fai'Mai was the first to arrive after her owner and she almost gave a delightful shout as well, but was able to maintain her dignity after years of practice at the art. "Hello there." She managed to keep herself from squeaking as Ophelia went thump against her back at the sudden stop.
"Ouch, you would think we'd glide right through each other." She muttered irritability but when she noticed the other spirits she darted behind Fai'Mai's back casting the others a wary glance.
Saiph blinked at the group ahead, but he had little to think about them at first glance; he knew better than to judge by first appearances after the years he spent gliding through the sky. "Hello."

Acy perked up a little bit when she was indeed going the right way and quickly went to go join LK and her spirits. "Hey. What's up?" She forced a smile to her sullen face.
Sir Anstice's smile was a mile wide as he spotted the lovely Fai'Mai amongst the small group of spirits. "Hello everyone." He bowed and walked over carefully, picking up Fai'Mai's hand and left a small kiss. "It's wonderful to see you again."
Era slowly walked her way over while she crossed her arms with a huff. Great. More idiots to deal with. It seemed that one was already complaining. This trip was already a nightmare.
The Prince kicked his worries and diminished hopes to the side as he like Sir Anstice bowed to the spirits. A smile was on his face as he greeted each spirit before him. "It is a pleasure to meet you all."

"Nothing, bringing them to the prearranged spot as agreed upon." LK replied with a small smile as she offered the other guide a hug.
If Fai'Mai had died a few years younger she would've let out a school girl squee, but she managed to keep herself from doing such and offered a smile. "Its good to see you again too."
Opheila had backed away when Anstice had approached, it was sickening, you could almost see little heart bubbles popping up around the two. Didn't they know that a lover couldn't be trusted ever?! Regardless of how much time you invested into it and tried to make it right?!!
Saiph eyes instantly went to the glass shoe the other was carrying and a grin spread across his face! This was like the fairy tale his sister had! What if he could be the fairy godmo--- godfather and grant wishes for the prince! "Hello there!" Saiph offered a too friendly smile to the prince. "Have you perchance lost something important?" While he asked he had managed to summon his mirror underneath his cloak.

Acy accepted the hug, returning the gesture happily. The smile came a bit more easy now as she looked to the group of spirits. "Hopefully this will go well."
Sir Anstice nodded. "How have you been? I do hope the days have been treating you well." He noticed the spirit behind Fai'Mai backed away and he wondered what bothered her. However he was too overjoyed at the presence of his 'crush' that he didn't bother to ask. Then again... by the looks of the situation - that was a good thing.
Era rolled her eyes. "Will you two love birds find somewhere else to chat and be lovey dove?" She rudely blurted out. She could hear her father scolding her for not minding her manners in the back of her head and mused at the idea she wasn't really 'Daddy's Little Girl' anymore. ...But she missed that.
The Prince blinked as Saiph approached him. "Ah... Yes. You see, I'm looking for a princess... But I haven't found her and have search for days upon days with no avail." Sadness took over his eyes and he sighed.

"Hopefully it will! And we'll go pick berries while they converse, yes?" LK asked holding up the basket she had carried with her. It was going to be their excuse to sneak off while the spirits mingled in peace.
"Oh they have, I have taken in a little one because his papas live far away! Children are adorable, I never knew they were until now." She replied cheerily. "What about you?" She asked but frowned at Era wondering if she had rolled out of the wrong side of her bed this morning.
Ophelia nodded in agreement, though she didn't voice her opinion out loud because it would include things such as no one can be trusted and such.
"Well you're in luck! You see I can grant wishes!" Saiph stated proudly, though Fai'Mai and Ophelia both shot him a worried glance. He hadn't granted a single wish yet, what made him think he could now?

"Oh? Yes yes. Let us go while there's still plenty of day light." Acy nodded and lead LK off away from the group. She couldn't help but wonder what would come of today's meeting. It was always a mystery when spirits met others.
Sir Anstice frowned at Era's outburst. She had been getting worse as the days went by and that worried the Christmas spirit. Focusing his attention to the lovely lady in front of him he offered her his hand. "Would you like to go sit under a tree? We can talk more freely without upsetting anyone." He smiled sincerely. He wasn't being rude but thoughtful instead.
Era grumbled under her breath and turned around. She wanted to go home and not deal with this hogwash.
The Prince's eyes light up in delight. It was a miracle! Someone who could grant wishes! Maybe he could finally be happily ever after... Oh the thought just made him so delighted as he smiled. "Really? Oh... Could you really grant my wish kind sir? I don't know how I could ever repay you..."

"That sounds like it would be best." Fai'Mai sighed, though she hoped she hadn't offended the spirit that seemed awfully displeased with them. She place her hand in his and let him lead the way giving Ophelia one last glance, but she didn't seem too upset by the change of situation.
But on the inside Ophelia was pissed, she was abandoned for a man! The eleven spirit plopped down by a bush and grumbled to herself about betrayal and such.
"Well, I might be able to grant your wish." Saiph carried on hesitantly. "See, ever since I awoke in this form, I've yet to be able to grant one, but! But I think if I can gather enough hopes and wishes in this charm here I'll be able to grant some." He explained though, it did sound far fetched.

Sir Anstice lead her over to the tree and gestured for her to take a seat first. "So, you've taken a child under your wing? That is rather sweet of you. I'd like to meet the little one some day, if you wouldn't mind." He smiled and figured he would give this child a toy of some sort. He had plenty of them laying in wait for the Christmas season but a little gift out of the winter holiday wasn't going to hurt anyone.
Era was relieved the love birds left and gazed about. Noticing Ophelia still there she raised a brow. "Hm...? How were you betrayed? They're lovers. They don't think of their actions."
The Prince didn't think of it as such. He was still overjoyed that he might actually get to see his beloved again! "Oh, is that all? I will do anything to help you get what you need..." He nodded. "Please let me know how I can help you. Is there a certain way one must gather the hopes and wishes?" This was too good to be true!

"Oh, I'm sure you'll get to meet him soon, one of his parents is one of the spirits of your guide as well." Fai'Mai hadn't even thought to ask who was Anstice's guide when they had first met. "And how have you been?" She asked once again since they had been interrupted before.
"Hmph, and when he drowns her she'd better not come crying to me." Ophelia hissed at the other spirit. "Friends should never abandon friends for a love call."
"Well, I need them to willingly tell them to me and to actually believe I can grant them eventually, but you see... Since I can't grant wishes like a normal star they think I'm just crazy." Saiph frowned at how many times he had been laughed at in the past hours let alone since he woke up.

Sir Anstice thought for a moment of which spirit Acy watched over that had children. Cloud. That was an odd relationship but who was he to judge? "Ah, you look after one of Cloud and Zack's children? How sweet. Maybe next time we meet I can bring Tempest along so she can see her brother more often." The thought was nice and he knew the little girl would enjoy seeing her brothers, even if just one, more often. "Ah, I've been well. Trying to keep the peace amongst the spirits I live with."
Era laughed. "Sir Anstice? He couldn't harm a blade of grass let alone another spirit. He's a wimp." Was that all that spirit was worried about? Pfft! How laughable.
"I see... Well, maybe I can accompany you and help you get these wishes?" The Prince smiled some more and looked sincere as he gazed at Saiph. "And if it's worth anything, I really do believe you. Miracles can happen right?"

"Keeping the peace? Do those you live with fight alot?" She asked wondering what would cause them to fight so much? Sure all groups had their little spats, but she had never recalled hers actually fighting between each other.
"Ahahahahahah, you actually think he can't snap? Anyone can if they're pathetic enough, usually wimps are the first to go and harm people." Ophelia retorted her tone taking a sickeningly sweet irritable tone.
"Oh thank you so much!" Saiph flailed about and hugged the prince. "No one else believes me! They think I'm crazy because I said I was a dragon and a star in my life too!" It was a great relief when you found someone who didn't think you were crazy.

"It's more or less the common squabbles when personalities clash or are too similar. Also there's a few power hungry spirits amongst her group that cause problems." Sir Anstice blinked. "You don't have fighting amongst your guide's group?"
"I'd doubt it. Someone who's angry at the world is the first to snap." Era frowned. Ophelia, to Era, was just asking to be smacked and Era was more than willing to deliver.
The Prince blinked and fumbled a bit to keep the pillow with the glass slipper safe. "Ah, you're quite welcome..." He blinked. "It seems I've never gotten your name, kind sir."

"Oh, not actual fighting, but we do have arguments and squabbles." Fai nodded sadly recalling the last little argument between their guide and one of the old Isirian spirits. "Though, most of our fights are mild and over small things."
"heh, someone else fooled by normalcy." Ophelia's voice was bitter and she turned from the other female flicking her hair haughty.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not use to giving my name, I usually grant a wish and poof back to space." Saiph pulled away. "I'm Saiph, and you?"
