《The Ice Fairy》 Chapter 1 Birth Chapter 1 Birth Newborn Fairy''s Pov: (metallic voice) "30g pixie dust successfully applied to object. Transformation successful. X-ray scan.......No deformities." I open my eyes and look around me. I am sitting on a big snowy plateau. Wild roots are around me. It''s cold and everything consists out of beautiful ice. A sparkling waterfall is behind me. It''s frozen over and in front of me stands an ice statue of a boy, no, of a man who could have sprung out of my dreams, although I haven''t ever had any dreams: Muscular, blonde... A picture of a man. Do all men look as dreamy as him? I would like him to be my dream prince. He couldn''t be a prince or anything like it because he is holding a bowl with yellow, frozen over powder. If he would only hold a sword and fight for a sweet virgin like me.... Snap out of it! Only 4 seconds alive and already after a man. You have to wait for the right one! Oh yeah.... Where am I and what am I? Is anyone here? (I) "Hello?" (metallic voice) "Object can speak without problems. Reaction time too long. Scanning for brain damages.... No brain damages found. Please, put your thumb onto the console in front of you to acquire your personal data." I look in front of me. Oh! there is a wooden screen between me and Mr dreamy. I haven''t seen it because I was watching only into his deep blue eyes. How beautiful they are! They are perfect. Snap out if it! No guys until I know them better and he is only a statue! Besides I''m only 20 seconds old. I am too young for such a frozen honk. I tear my eyes away and look at the console. I press my thumb onto the fingerprint scanner beneath it. *Beep*......*Beep*......*Beep*... On the screen a table appears: Name: Ice fairy Type: Ice fairy Talent: excellent What? I was named by a machine. Are you crazy? Why should I take the name of a machine? It''s like I was given a number. Although when the guy behind the machine has such dreamy eyes I can''t resist. You can call me whatever you want! I will be from the first to the last second yours.... But the problem is you can''t give me what a young woman needs..... You are only an ice statue, Mr dreamy, and I am a young woman made out of flesh and blood..... Okay let''s look for people. Where is everybody? (I, Ice Fairy) "Hello? Is anyone here?" I stand up. When I stand up I feel the wind around my legs. It''s cold and the wind plays with my white, silk dress, but I don''t care. I go one time around the round protest. Between the wooden frozen pillows I have a marvellous view over the land. Everywhere Ice and snow until the ocean starts. Looks like I am on an Island. As I go I find some stairs. I walk them down. On the way down I have a grand view over a strange town. It''s inside the tree crowns. Over the trees a motorway floats with ice statues of bunnies, mice, otters and foxes on it. On their backs is different stuff like bags and fairies. Everything is frozen in place. No movement. No sound. Only the wind. I cry again (I, Ice fairy) "Hello?!" No answer. Was my birth so unimportant that only mister Dreamy was looking at it? I want someone to hear my first words. I reach the town and meet another group of ice statues. Oh what is this? I can''t believe it: There are statues that look better than Mr dreamy. A giggle leaves my lips when I look at a male fairy with black hair and brown eyes. What a man! A face which only cries testosterone and a V form which you only know from films.....Okay, I don''t know what films are but you get the picture.... Looks like every man is like this..... I landed in heaven.... if only the creatures in the ice would wake up and speak to me. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Beside him is a female fairy: red hair, thin face, beautiful breasts and a super figure. She would make me jealous if her nose wasn''t too big and I am pretty confident that I look pretty gorgeous....I think. ..... Hmmm..... What do I look like?..... I haven''t ever looked at me. I look down on my hands: What''s this? This can''t be! Webbings? Between my fingers? I look into the next window: I have a beautiful face like everyone else: Grey eyes, half of my hair is white, the other half is black. ....okay strange, but it looks good..... My figure is perfect.... tight breasts, an ass like a peach and a tummy which goes inside... *knur* I am pretty hungry.... I haven''t ever eaten anything... literally... But I can''t eat frozen food... A fire would help. Let''s look for people, who are dreamy, not frozen and have food... I go on and look at the strange houses in the trees or are the trees the houses? They consist mainly of wood with pieces of metal shining in the bark....Cyborg trees.... Every house is its own masterpiece. The branches of the trees make patterns, which show different occurrences in fairy history. They cover the whole street. Nothing is carved. It looks like they are grown. In front of every house is a metallic thing. It is a long pillar. On its bottom is a big metallic disc. What is this? I close the distance and examine it and put my feet onto the disc. Suddenly the disc elevates and a moment later I stand in front of the entry. I enter the house. ...What do fairies need elevators for? They have wings..... When I think about it I have wings....Can I fly? I try my beautiful wings which look as delicate as glass and flatter as strong as I can. I only float half a centimeter above the ground before I fall down onto my bottom....Maybe I need more training. Okay mystery solved. Therefore the fairies need the elevators or at least their young ones do. I stand up, rub my bottom, little whining escapes my lips. I look around me. A dark room is in front of me. Everywhere are books. A flicker of a fire can be seen at the end of the room. Maybe there is a living mister dreamy. I begin running. Oh finally people! And not only some beautiful statues. When I want to start shouting I hear a mad laughter. What was that? My sprint changes to tiptoeing. A bewitching smell dances around my nose. What is that? Saliva gathers in my mouth. A male voice shouts: (Voice) "It''s alive! It''s alive!" The same voice in a higher tune answers: (Voice, higher pitched) "Don''t startle me like that. Are you crazy!?" Two hitting sounds are audible. (Voice) "You don''t have to lose your temper over such a bagatelle." (Voice, higher pitched) "My temper is my own business." (Voice) "It''s my business if you hit me!" (Voice, higher pitched) "Don''t tell me what I have to do! I am an emancipated woman!" (Voice) "Haven''t we been living in a matriarchate?" (Voice, higher pitched) "It became a patriarchate when the last ice fairy went into winter sleep." (Voice, mumbling) "I doubt that." (Voice, higher pitched) "What was that?! Have you said anything?!" (Voice, exaggerated sweet) "No honey. Only that you are the most understanding woman I have ever met." (Voice, higher pitched) "Oh hush......quit the sweet talk and back to work!" (Voice) "Yes, mam!" Chapter 2 The Gingerbread Soldier Chapter 2 The Gingerbread Soldier Ice Fairy''s Pov: When I reach the door I positioned the back to the wall. Maybe there is an unfrozen Mr dreamy playing theatre. It would be worth a glance . I take a look: The room is poorly lit but after watching this picture my eyes nearly pop out: The whole room is full of gingerbread and other sweet stuff. The table is made of a candy cane. The chair consists of gingerbread and the cushion is a big marshmallow. There is a cupboard made of liquorice. The glass consists of sugar ice. Even the books are butter cookies with wafers inside. The only light comes from the flame in an oven which is made of glass. A little, fat guy stands in front of a table. He is bald with white hair around it. What a pity.He is not my type.... His whole concentration is on his work. The man shows me his back. Therefore I risk stepping into the door frame. A second later there is movement beside the old man. Little gingerbread men climb down the cupboard. They walk in my direction. There are 6 surrounding me. They have little spears in their hands. Their decoration is really beautiful. A normal gingerbread man would have thick lines to describe their facelines or other things, but not these soldiers. Their lines are really thin and their faces look like the faces of real people. Their decoration moves according to their feelings. The little soldiers begin to poke me with their little spears. It doesn''t hurt but it''s really annoying. I wonder if they can speak. They haven''t made a sound up to now. I pick up the soldier with the biggest hat. They look really funny. Why are they alive? Do sweets normally move? What makes them move? The man struggles and I look at its bottom. Is moving gingerbread edible? It shouldn''t be poisonous. I mean most animals aren''t poisonous either, I think. What does it taste like? What does it feel like? I haven''t ever eaten anything in my live. I think sweets are delicious. I mean I haven''t ever met someone who doesn''t like sweets. Okay my only encounter is with the person in front of me but he likes sweets, doesn''t he? Is moving gingerbread different from normal gingerbread? I''ll try it. I lick the foot of the gingerbread man. The gingerbread man''s expression changes from a struggling one to a shocked one. He freezes. Then his effort increases tenfold. Hm, I really can''t say anything from this test. My stomach makes a little growl. I''ll only try a little piece. I am sure this oldj person can fix him right up afterwards. I take his foot into my moth and bite it off. Cream sprinkles over my lips. Oh, what pleasure! I haven''t ever felt anything like it. It''s fantastic. An explosion of flavour. This cake like texture in combination with the cream. Marvellous! The facial expression of the soldier shows a silent cry. I bite his other foot off. The cream splashes in my face and on the little soldier''s companions who are watching me eating with open mouths. Godlike. If I would die now, my short life had a reason. I bite the lower body with the hands of. What is this? The Intestines are made out of liquorice and the beating heart is a pulsating gum. Unsurpassable! I let out a little moan. (Voice, higher pitched) "What was that?" (Voice) "I haven''t heard anything..." (Voice, higher pitched) "There was something at the entrance!" I hurriedly take another big bite and hide the remaining hat behind my back. The last bite tasted strange but I don''t give it any further thought. I manage to swallow and wipe the remaining cream off my face into my birth suite. I mean birth dress. When the little, old, fat man turns around and sees me he jumps back and nearly falls on his work. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. For a moment he says nothing and only stares at me. Panic shows in his eyes. (I, Ice fairy) "Hi!" (Voice= little, old, fat man) "Am I really this crazy?" I shrug my shoulders (little, old, fat man) "Who are you? Where are you from? Are you another of my illusion torturing me for the next 100 years? Showing me what I can''t have for another eternity?" (I, Ice fairy) "No, I don''t think so... I am Ice Fairy and I came from the big platform above the city." (little, old, fat man) "Could it be? Has the drone found enough unfrozen pixie dust to make a birth? What joyous day!" The old man reaches his arms in my direction and hugs me. He nearly found the hat of the little soldier but I put my hands in the air as he hugs my basin. His eyelids are pressed tightly together. Tears flow over my white dress. I pet his bold head. A warm smile takes over my expression Damn. I can''t tell the old man about the soldier. The smile becomes crooked. We have stood there for 2 or 3 minutes when his hand with the staff begins to move. The other hand remains clinging onto me. The staff hits onto his boldness. (Voice, higher pitched, shouting) "I only turned one second around and you, old geezer, are after other younger girls! Don''t you know any shame?" (little, old, fat man) "I am sorry honey but I haven''t seen an unfrozen person for 500 years.'' He looks at his staff and shows with the other hand his open palm to the sky. (Voice, higher pitched) "Yeah, yeah always your apologies... Anyways we should introduce ourselves: This is the ''crazy geezer'' and I am his ''wife''. Pleased to meet you!" When the wife introduces herself the crazy geezer points at his staff. Okay he is really crazy. (wife (=staff) =Voice, higher pitched) "Oh yeah and these gingerbread men around you are: Gingerbread man 1, Gingerbread man 2, Gingerbread man 3, Gingerbread man 4, Gingerbread man 5 and Tom. Wait, where is Tom? Tom! Thomas!" A pearl of sweat runs over my forehead. The gingerbread men look accusingly at me. (Wife) "Hm, he must be out to get some ingredients. Thomas is such a great boy he always looks after other people. For example one time, when I was sick, he took care of me. My, what a good boy." Should I tell the crazy geezer? But this would break his heart and I am on the streets again. He will look everywhere for Tom. I have to tell him. Why haven''t I been strong enough to resist. (crazy geezer=little, old, fat man) "Yes, Tom is an angel. He is our first born. I can remember his birth 250 years ago. He went right away to work like there was no tomorrow , helping me building all his brothers." I can''t tell him what I have done to his child. It would be too cruel. He had 6 gingerbread men and it took him 250 years to make five. Does that mean I ate the work of 50 years? (crazy geezer) "You have there something white on your cheek." He points at his own cheek. I hurridly wipe it off. Now he knows. Everything is lost... (crazy geezer) "Anyways, I should probably take you on a tour around and show you everything, but before that you should change your clothes." His cane hits his head. (wife) "What are you looking at?! Taking advantage of a newborn. You should be ashamed of yourself! Besides I doubt that she knows that her dress is transparent." I look down and see that he was right. A shriek escapes my lips. Both of my hands try to hide my nudeness. I run out of the room. The crazy geezer shouts after me: (crazy geezer) "You can take from every other house your clothes. We are the only two moving fairies on the whole island." I stop. I don''t care if the crazy geezer sees me naked. (I, Ice fairy) "The only two? What happened?" (crazy geezer) "I''ll tell you once you are decent. Go put on some clothes!" I turn and leave the room. Chapter 3 Cookie Train Chapter 3 The Cookie Train Part 1 Ice Fairy''s pov I wait in the same room I have met the crazy geezer before. Meanwhile I try my ice powers. I think I am quite good. The miniature ice castle in front of me is quite exquisite. It has everything: A waterslide from the bedroom into the kitchen, a pet dragon with two catana instead of its hands, an underground unicorn stable with automatic elevator and of course a pond with mermen, who read every wish of my eyes. It is how a castle should be and it doesn''t look like the castle of the fairy queen, I got my clothes from. The castle of the fairy queen is a bigger house with only one tower. One tower! I believe the worth of a castle isn''t proportional to the number of towers, but one tower! This is really a joke. I even saw the frozen queen. She sits in her throne looking down on everyone. Her appearance is really arrogant with her golden dress, perfect brown hair and her beautiful face. The whole look says: I am better than you. She will have quite a shock when she wakes up. I painted her a moustache and some glasses with permanent marker.... Maybe you look better than me but I am not frozen.... Then I found the king... What a stud!....He has an intelligent face, Abs you want to bite a piece off and his hair, oh these perfect hair! If only every man had such hair. His majesty would always be allowed to come into my castle.... In the queens dress room I found a black and white dress which matched my hair colour. It looks pretty on me and after changing running was much easier. I wonder why the queen has something like this. It wouldn''t have matched her style anyways.....No fashion sense... I am working on the unibot for my castle (a unicorn which can transform into a robot) when the old geezer walks in. He has a desperate expression and looks in all directions. He doesn''t have his stick with him.....strange... (Crazy geezer, desperately) "Ice Fairy, have you seen Tom? He is missing. He is as big as this, has a big hat and holds a spear. He hasn''t ever been out as long as this.... " The hat in my pocket becomes heavier and heavier. Should I tell him? He will look for Tom forever if I don''t say anything. What devil has ridden me to eat his most precious child. I am the proof: A fairy is evil since birth. Why couldn''t I only resist? No, I can''t tell him. I am only a few hours old and I am too young to be thrown out of the house and if I say nothing he will search forever...I can''t watch this... Let''s play for time for now: (I, Ice Fairy) "Is he made of candy, has a smile you can''t resist and wants to help everyone?" (crazy geezer) "Yes, yes, yes have you seen him?" (I, Ice Fairy) "I think I saw him at the palace, but he told me in secret that he needed some distance for a while." (crazy geezer) "O hush, he wasn''t ever like this. Let''s go and talk to him about his problem." (I, Ice fairy) "You can''t, because ......... to be completely honest he wanted to surprise you with a grandchild." (crazy geezer) "Really? A grandchild? He wants to make me grandpa? He should have the skills although I don''t think he has enough rat brain for the head.... O my....Child, why are you so pale?" (I, Ice Fairy) "What exactly does he need rat brain for?" (old geezer) "You know, the brain is the most complicated part in a gingerbread soldier''s body and I haven''t found a way to create it just with gum. So I used parts of a preserved rat brain. Are you sick? Don''t you feel good?" (I, Ice fairy) "I feel fine." I swallow some puke and force myself to keep it in my stomach. We wouldn''t want a reunion with Tom just now. I force my attention with tears in my eyes at the old geezer (I, Ice Fairy) "Anyway don''t tell your wife. It should be a surprise. Besides, where is she?" (crazy geezer) "Pa! she is with her astrologer ''Wilson''. Can you understand why someone believes in this hokus pokus? Such nonsense. Who believes in all this superstition? I, myself, am with both feet on the ground and only believe what I can proof.....Although this Wilson guy knows quite a lot about the main land....." (I, Ice Fairy) "What is the main land? Has the main land something to do with all the ice?" (crazy geezer) "I am not sure.....Let''s go to the place I have prepared. This place hasn''t the right Feng Shui, besides I made some food for you together with the gingerbread men." When I heard the 2 words (gingerbread and food) in one sentence it gave me the rest. I jumped up and ran outside. I threw up the content of my stomach behind some rose bushes.... If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Oh, there you are, Tom! The old geezer ran after me but he didn''t leave the house. (crazy geezer, helpful) "Are you Okay? Have you eaten something wrong in the palace? Maybe your stomach can''t handle the cold foot..." (I, Ice Fairy, weak) "I am Okay. Let''s go inside." We go inside. Part 2 Ice Fairy''s pov Better feng shui? For heavy stuff?? We sit in a wagon of something which can be best described as a ''cookie train''. The train isn''t higher than a person. Its wagon only has space for 2 benches and 1 table. The whole thing is made out of gingerbread, but it doesn''t stop there. It goes around a city made of sweets. The whole thing is located under the house of the crazy geezer. This old man really has too much time on hand and a problem with sweets. Hasn''t he ever heard something about diabetes? Maybe not.... me neither but I know about it none the less. The town is empty. I suspect that gingerbread men are a bit more complicated than a town to create. In front of me stands a bowl with fruits and one with vegetables (All fairies have been vegetarian since ancient times, because the animal fairies were a pain in the neck with their demonstrations.) At the side of the veggies is a bowl with sweets. I push it gently aside. I have had enough sweets for one day. Although I just puked, I am pretty hungry. Hm, looks like I have a pretty good stomach... I start munching the vegetables. (crazy geezer) "What do you think about my ''serious place''?" (I, Ice Fairy, with a full mouth) "Hay ish i halled ''heriouh plae''?" (crazy geezer) "I called it this way because the feng shui takes away the weight of a topic." Makes sense in a weird way but maybe I am the crazy one and not him. I have never thought about it this way... Anyways first things first: (I, Ice Fairy, swallowed) "Could you tell me why nearly everyone is an ice sculpture while I am eating?" (crazy geezer) "Hm there is not much to explain, because we, the remaining few, don''t know very much about what happened. 500 years ago all happened in a flash. One moment all was normal and in the next moment everywhere was ice." (I, Ice Fairy) "Really? This can''t be all. Haven''t the surviving fairies investigated? (crazy geezer) "Sure we have, but you must know that only a few ice fairies were skilled enough to keep the control over their body and their senses while being frozen. For example my body is as hard frozen as the body of the Queen in her castle. I only use my ice abilities to move it. To unfreeze a fairy without killing it or at least not causing any brain damage is next to impossible. A light fairy might be able to pull it off using infrared light and microwaves all over the body at once but only the ice fairies are able to move right now. In the end only 10 were skilled enough to remain conscience and able to move. From these 10 5 went to the mainland to investigate the cause and for a cure but they never came back." (I, Ice Fairy) "What is the mainland?" (Crazy geezer) ¡°It¡¯s a place deeply linked to our island. We gave this place the seasons. Seasons are ¡­It doesn¡¯t matter anymore¡­ It is a big land where all sorts of weather patterns were controlled by the fairies. (I, Ice Fairy) "Maybe I should go there. Here is no one anymore and I think it will be quite boring. What happened to the other 4 ice fairies?" (crazy geezer) "They went into hibernation chambers. So they can sleep and then are able to wake up again. They wake up every 50 years and have a talk with me. They are quite nice guys. Although they are not very fond of my wife. I¡¯ll show them to you later. I am the only fairy who is awake all the time." This poor old man was all these years alone. His only companions were the ginger bread soldiers. He had no one to talk to. So he made his fantasy wife. No wonder he became crazy and his friends or colleagues aren''t very fond of his wife. He waited for so long and what does he get in the end? An ice fairy who eats his child. What a miserable fate. (I, Ice Fairy) "That''s quite lonely......." (Cookie train) "Tuuuut tuuuuut" part 3 Behind some rosebushes Lightening comes out of a brown, white mass. It begins to glow in a blue tone. Then it rearranges its mass to define the rough shape of a gingerbread soldier. The mass holds its form passionately. It lies on the floor until it is frozen solid. Then the new man shaped thing stands up and walks away into the bushes. Chapter 4 Candy Metro Chapter 4 Candy Metro Ice Fairy''s Pov In the Cookie train After I finish my meal the crazy geezer makes a movement with his hand. Thereafter the bowls begin to grow ceramic spider legs and the teeth of the fork become longer and longer. It looks like a hermit crab. The handle of the fork roles around my knife and takes it with it. I watch fascinated at the dishes. They stand up, crawl over the table and jump off it, one after another. Their legs are long enough to take the shock of jumping off the train, without destroying the ceramic bowls. After landing they run towards the middle of the town and vanish. I look towards the crazy geezer and notice an amused smile on his face (I, Ice Fairy) "What just happened?" (Crazy geezer) "Oh you know: I always hated making the dishes and my wife hated making them too. After some time our house was a dump. So I invented dishes which can wash themselves and do other housework. I mean I am not the worst mechanic and with the help of Wilson it was even easier." I imagine a bowl trimming the hedge.... No but more importantly: (I, Ice Fairy) "Who is this Wilson? Can I meet him? Does he really know this much? Is he maybe as handsome as he is wise?" The crazy geezer, ignoring my last question, looks at his watch. (Crazy geezer, grumbling) "My wife will finish her session in half an hour, but I suppose it will be alright nonetheless." The crazy geezer presses a button on the underside of the table. Suddenly the floor in front of the train opens. The floor under the original rails produces a ramp down to another route. What is this? A secret entrance? The crazy geezer turns around because he looks at me who sits in the rear. My new clothes become glued to the bench with ice. This was surely the old geezers doing. A mad laughter escapes his lips. An unsure laugh escapes mine. The cookie train enters the hole. The adrenalin level rises. I begin to panic. The train accelerates downward into the unknown. I feel cold, fast wind brushing over my cheeks. The cookie train''s rattling rhythm is 10 times faster than before. Big clouds of water vapour escape the chimney. I see the old man enjoying the fast wind. His long moustache is waving in the cold wind. He laughs. I myself am panicking. What happened? Why didn''t he warn me? I cry in anxiety but at the same time I already trust the bold one. The scream changes to laughter. Suddenly there is a feeling of free fall. I notice we entered a big bottomless room and there are no tracks anymore. The train flys. Panic reappears. The crazy geezer laughs. We fall for an eternity. I see a little light at the horizont which becomes bigger and bigger. Then I can make out the contours of what is coming near us. It is a big frog. Fear takes my breath and I stop making any noise. I only think: Why old geezer? I haven''t even lived a day. I look at the mad face of him and I want to curse him. I try to scream at him but the wind swallows my words. The tongue of the frog grabs the train. We decelerate really fast. It was good luck that the ice of the old geezer holds me in place. The tongue grabs our train and the creature swallows the whole vehicle. I close my eyes. I feel that the train is forced into something. Tracks? Inside a frog? Thereafter I feel how the frog lands with us inside it. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. (Crazy geezer, laughing) "Ice Fairy you can now open your eyes we nearly arrived!" (I, Ice Fairy) "Am I dead?" I risk glancing a bit through my eyelids. I see a crazy geezer smiling over both ears. (Crazy geezer) "No. You are more alive than any person or anything here." I open my eyes and look around. We are in a narrow tunnel made out of fruit gum. On the walls are pictures of heroic tales, showing the crazy geezer with a handsomely built body. At his side is his staff in form of a handsome girl. Around him winged gingerbread soldiers fly. The front and the behind of our transport is closed. It looks like the gum is half transparent. The walls are fluorescing. My eyes look around in wonder. I feel the frog jumping to its destination. It''s not an easy feat to hold a meal in the stomach. We arrive at a railway station. The amphibious looking creature turns around and docs with its behind on the tracks which are nearby. The gum splits and the behind opens. The cookie train leaves the froglike creature and stops on the tracks. The big frog closes again and vanishes behind some crystals which are in every size and colour lightening the surrounding on the floor of the cave. I become dizzy when I think about what just happened. We used a frog as a matter of transport! My eyes wander away from the crystals. The frog vanished behind and fixate on the crazy geezer. I say one word: (I, Ice Fairy) "Why?" He scratches unconsciously his back. (crazy geezer) "You know I had some time on hand and I thought it was cool....." "Cool? This was better than what I could ever imagine! I mean a frog! A frog!" The old man blushes. With a proud voice he declares: (Crazy geezer) "My opinion is that every home needs one roller coaster minimum otherwise it''s not better than an old shack!" (I, Ice fairy) "You are a genius!" I know one thing: My castles can''t be compared with the work of this genius. Maybe he should educate me in mad architecture. I think about it, but then I think of the lack of men and decide against it. I want to have minimum 1 acceptable man near me. (I, Ice Fairy) "But you have to work on your style. I mean the painting was a bit much....." ("Crazy Geezer") "Whats wrong with the painting? I think it''s beautiful. It brings out my true character. It show the best traits of me..." (I, Ice Fairy) "Yeah but it''s a bit... how should I say....Egocentic..." (Crazy Geezer) "Most of the big painters had this trait. Nontheless it''s one of my best pieces." (I, Ice Fairy) "Don''t you think that someone could get a false picture of you?" (Crazy Geezer) "Why? I mean I can say without bragging that I am the Leonardo Da Vinci of my time!" Yeah for sure you are the Leonardo Da Vinci of your time but only because there is no one except you.....I shut my mouth and let him believe what he wants. I look around. The whole cave is black. Some torches are left and right the track. They give us some light. On the right side there are crystals. They are not bigger than a fairy and look wonderful. On the left side of us is a big tower. Actually it''s a big root which was forced into shape. I suspect it''s the same magic as the one which forced the branches on the surface into shape. Its surface showed some metal spots. I let the ice wander on my back around the chair to its backside. (Crazy geezer) "This is the root tower. Let''s go in! In there are Wilson, my wife and the last ice fairies." We leave the train. Suddenly the old man begins breathing heavily. Chapter 5 The Root Tower Chapter 5 The Root Tower Ice Fairy''s Pov In front of the root tower: Suddenly the crazy geezer begins to breathe really heavily. I turn around and look scared at the old geezer... (I, Ice Fairy) "Are you alright? Is everything Okay?" (Crazy geezer) "Yeah, *breath* what are you talking about? *silent moan*" His breathing and moaning becomes louder the closer he comes to the door. The little one with the moustache appears to be suffering. (I, Ice Fairy) "You don''t look good. It appears that there is something inside the building. Wait here! I will go and take a look." (Crazy geezer) "Nonsense,*breath* There is nothing strange about Me.*breath* I feel *breath* completely fine *silent moan*" The old geezer takes a step back. Most likely he feels dizzy from hyperventilating. (I, Ice Fairy) "Look you can''t even hold your balance. Come sit down on the stairs and wait until I come back." I help him to sit on the stairs. (Crazy geezer) "Maybe *little moan* you are right. *breath*" I enter the tower. There are spiral stairs which look like a double helix in the middle of the room. In the helix is an elevator. It''s the same as I have seen in front of the houses outside. At the sides are 2 doors. I begin to investigate the first room. A wooden console stands in the middle of it, showing towards the entrance. On the opposite side there are 4 wooden cylinders. Every chamber contains a person. Every fairy has a number from 1 to 4. Behind the sarcophagi tubes lead into the floor. I look on the console. A screen shows the different stimulated brain areas. Hm, I wonder what happens, if I do this. I press my finger on a randomly chosen brain region of hibernating fairy No. 1. Suddenly the first cylinder begins laughing loudly. Damn! Damn! Damn! What have I done? The cylinder begins knocking, while laughing. Please go back to sleep! Please go back to sleep! I randomly press buttons on the console. The knocking becomes lighter and then stops. The laughter suffocates in a gurgling sound. After a few seconds it''s quiet. I wait a minute. Is he back asleep? Or is he..... I go closer to the chamber and look inside through a little window at the front. A male fairy lies inside. The eyes are turned upside down, so you can only see the white in them. White foam is in front of his mouth. A mad smile decorates his lips. Okay this doesn''t look like sleeping. He can''t be.....This would mean, I am a...... No! He is in a deep meditative state for sure. Yes, this must be it! Only the ones who have fully mastered their ice abilities can go this deep into trance. This is no dignified face for a master. I try opening the cylinder. It reveals its content without any effort. The man inside would be beautiful when there wouldn''t be his mad expression. I try normalizing his features with force but he is frozen hard. He should look like a sleeping person. I try changing his face with Ice magic. Oh, it works. I produce a tissue. Don''t ask me where I stored it in this tight dress. A woman should always be prepared, even when she hasn''t her purse with her. Puh! He looks normal again....I mean this is what a dignified master of the ice art should look like during meditation! I close the door and look into the next window. A girl is lying in there. She looks perfect. Her appearance is more arrogant than any fairy I have ever seen. Maybe the queen looked more full of herself than her but I took care of her. The fairy resembles Pamela Anderson when she was young. She has big breasts, a perfect, vase formed, curved body and a face which spits, in your own: Look how perfect I am. You won''t ever look like me. The only difference to original Miss Anderson is her red hair and her white perfect skin. (Damn gingers!) The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.I hated her at first sight. Hm, maybe I''ll show her who is frozen and who is not later. I look into the next cylinder and it nearly robs my breath. A man with skin white like snow, lips red like blood and hair brown like ebony sleeps in there. He was through and through perfect. It was love, real love, at first sight. He wasn''t like all the others and he looked like he wanted only to be kissed awake. I opened his chamber. I want him to steal my first kiss. He lies without any movement there. Cables are all over his body. My face hovers over his. Suddenly I hear a loud scream. I know I can''t end what I have begun. I make a regretful expression and kiss my dream prince fast onto his cold, white cheek. I close the hibernation chamber and throw a last glance at him. You have to wait a little longer until I kiss you awake, my love. I run towards the noise and see the crazy geezer in the other room. In the middle of it is a blanket and under the blanket lays his staff and a crystal ball beside it. You have to be kidding. For this soap opera I had to give up on my first real kiss? (Crazy geezer) "Wife! What are you doing under the blanket with that ball!?" The old man runs to his staff and picks it up. (Wife) "What are you talking about?! And don''t cry at me! I am not deaf." He hits himself with the wood (Crazy geezer) "But...but....but..... (Wife) "Don''t ''but'' me mister! Why are you here so early? I thought you would come back in at least half an hour." (Crazy geezer) "But...but...but" The old man rolls his eyes around. (Wife) "Wilson was predicting my future by looking at my annual rings." (Intentional deep, smoky voice from the old geezer) "Yeah bro, her annual rings are the best." The old geezer looks wildly at the crystal ball. (Wife, hissing) "Wilson, be quiet! I''ll handle it." (Wilson) "Sis, chill. Bro knows that my rule number one is: Bros before whoes." (Wife, commanding) "Wilson!" (Crazy geezer) "But... I thought... he was only your astrologer. Why should he know anything about your annual rings?" I(=Ice fairy) shake my head: An astrologer in a cave.... How can a man''s brain be scrambled so much? (Wife) "Don''t ask such stupid questions! He only wanted to be more precise with his prediction. So he had to look under my bark! (Wilson) "Yeah Bro, barks and clothes limit the vibes of the planets to interact at the right spots. Have you ever seen me putting on some clothes? Bro." (Crazy geezer) "I guess not... but what about the blanket?" (Wife) "Do you really think a Lady can shave parts of her bark without covering herself when there are men in the next room? Think a bit!" (Wilson) ¡°Yeah, only I should see her bare wood.¡± (Wife) ¡°Wilson! Can¡¯t you stop your mouth!¡± The old man appears to have a conflict with himself. He looks at the ball and at his staff by turns. Tears begin to cover his cheeks. (Crazy geezer) ¡°Wife, are you saying the truth?¡± The Crazy geezer¡¯s expression changes into a tortured one, when he answered with his wife¡¯s voice. (Wife, tortured) ¡°Crazy geezer, I have to talk to you! But let¡¯s not do this in front of the little one.¡± He looks at me. He turns his gaze to the staff. (Crazy geezer) ¡°I knew it. He wasn¡¯t just predicting the future!¡± (Wilson) ¡°Bro chill! Let¡¯s talk about it.¡± But the old geezer said these words while running to the elevator. A flow of tears covers his face. He runs without turning around. He steps on the round disk in the entry room and disappears. The staff fell on the ground and remained beside the crystal ball. Oh poor little guy! How could his own wife be so cruel? It isn''t fair he made the children they both loved and he read every wish from her eyes. He really loved her. I glare at the staff. Wait a minute: I glare at a staff. Damn him! He nearly convinced me that this staff has feelings. On top of that he left me alone in this big cave! Chapter 6 Like Cat and Mouse Chapter 6 Like Cat and Mouse Ice fairy''s Pov: In Wilson''s room: Damn this old man! He and his soap opera! He left me alone in this wide cave. His wife and this cursed pearl are in front of me. I kick the shining ball. Oh what''s this? It''s open at the bottom. The inside is cushioned...Hm; it looks like you have to put it onto your head, like a helmet. I lift it from the floor and try it on. It is really big and doesn''t fit well. So I have to hold it with both hands. Inside of the helmet a blue screen appears. It says:
Wilson: Wireless Information Link to Synapse Overriding Network The positive vibes should be with you, bro! What''s the password?
Looks like Wilson is the old guy''s computer. Why does he even have a Password? I mean he is completely alone. Except once in 50 years. Let''s try to guess the geezer''s security code. How about: Wilson
Sry bro. Try it another time:
Then: Wife
Good choice!
This was pretty easy....No place for creativity. The screen comes to life. A desktop builds up but the background is..... No! No! No! I tear the helmet from my head and smash it into the floor. It jumps one time, rolls a bit and then stays in one place. I will never, never!, again even take a look at this cursed artefact. It was pure horror: The background showed me the crazy geezer and you guessed it his wife. It was a little too intimate for my taste. Never again! Curse this thing. Who the hell has such a background? I am sure I will never get this picture out of my head, although when I think about the next room... There could be a solution. I don''t mean my prince. My memories should stay pure pink every time he comes to my mind. My eyes focus on the second hibernation chamber which belongs to the ginger fairy. I go to the capsule and look through the window wickedly. How should I best show her that a good body is not everything? I put one hand in my bag and pull something out. A smile appears on my face. With this I can get two flies with one clap. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. My hands move quickly. They open the coffin like apparatus. I put something in the mouth of the big breasted fairy. I look happily at my work when a heavy breathing kills my joy. I hear a *tuut* *tuut*. How does the cookie train come in here? Aren''t there stairs? I turn around. A big cat stands in front of me. Its height is the same as a normal house cat which is a giant compared to a fairy. (My head reaches its shoulder) The whole cat is made from ginger bread. Two smoking chimneys are on its back. Over its whole body is a chain mail made from jaw crushers. The face is made in the same way the soldier''s faces were made. On top of its hat is a little, brown, white, human shaped mass riding this thing. The cat is directly placed between me and the door. There''s no chance to get through directly. (Gingerbread Cat) "Maaaaauuuuuuuuu!" The cat lays its ears on the head. Its tail is between its legs. Two transparent balls of gelantine sparkle in the dark. A big paw tries to hit me. I jump over it. I sprint behind the ice master''s chamber and put my back as flat as possible to the wall. The candy animal is too big to catch me. I can only see the paws with its rainbow coloured, candy cane claws trying to reach me. My heart is razing. I use thick ice and freeze the front paws in place. A terrible scream comes from the monster. The cat tries to free itself without any success. There is only one possible route. I climb over the master''s chamber. Seeing the sugary monster struggling I start laughing: (I, Ice fairy) "Hahaha, the mouse catches the cat!" The amount of steam increases. My ears hear something cracking. It couldn''t be the ice.... I made it so hard that even a human 5 year old shouldn''t be able break it. I hurry to the exit and reach it. Something tears. The monster falls back, destroying the console. The white, brown mass clings onto the ears and manages to stay on top of the giant. The little figure pulls the ears, while pointing with its spear at me. Its pet struggles to stand up but it slips on the smooth floor. What''s this? The ice didn''t break but it sacrificed its own feet for freedom. I hurry to the staircase. The stairs won''t be able to support the weight of the giant and climbing a wall without any front legs is pretty difficult. I run with all my might. I hear a growl behind me. The monster positions its hind legs. I support my feet with my wings to push myself forward. The cat pushes its front body with its back legs in my direction. I jump while flapping my insect wings as hard as possible. The cat opens its mouth. Only a little further. Success! My legs touch the stairs. I immediately continue running. I hear a *Pfffffffffff* And then *Bang* the monster smashes under me into the stairs. The staircase breaks and the gingerbread animal stays still. I won''t wait until this beast wakes up again. I keep running. Chapter 7 The Detective Chapter 7 The Detective The second hibernation chamber: Au! Au! Au! .....my head hurts...Does this dumb thing ever work? They said reviving would be painless. My mouth is dry and something sweet is in it. I munch lazily on the object as if the dry mass would be a pacifier. Then the thing, whatever it is, falls to the floor. I gulp a bite. A moan escapes my lips. I don''t want to wake up. I turn around to sleep for another round. It doesn''t work. I open my eyes slowly. My sight is blurred. I begin stretching. Half asleep and not really there I get out of my bed, stepping over some rubble to reach the sink. There I put some tooth paste on my tooth brush. While cleaning my mouth I look into the mirror. Where could I get some cold coffee from. Hm.... A beautiful red haired girl looks back. I focus on the background..... (I, ginger fairy) "What the hell happened here?!" I turn around. The whole place is full of chunk. No stone is on the other. My sight focuses on the console, which lies broken on the floor. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. This means I''ll be the last fairy who wakes up for a long time. *hic* *hic* My condition surfaces again. I won''t be able to concentrate when I am as excited as this. Calm down. I open the mirror and take a wooden pipe out of it. *hic* I cram the whistle with a mixture of tobacco and marihuana. It helps me keep my cool and think. *hic* *hic* I put the wood to my lips and take a big breath while holding a lightener to the opening. My lungs fill with the smoke and I feel the calming effect of the mixture. I try putting the lightener into my pockets but I don''t have any. I am completely naked. Where is my coat? I look around the room and find it hanging in the corner,where I left it. I put on some underwear, some trousers and a blouse which allows a really deep insight (You never know when you have to question a man). The coat covers everything. I tie my hair into a knot and cover it with a hat. Let''s see what happened here..... My inspection skills are hopefully as sharp as when my detective office froze. I look at the hibernation chambers. There I pick up the piece of sugary deliciousness with my pencil. My eyes muster every detail. I put the candy piece into a plastic bag. My walking direction follows the trace of destruction to the cat. Thick, white clouds leave my mouth while I use my deduction skills to their full extent. In the end I turn around to face the stairs and climb the second intact helix up. Chapter 8 The Red Queen Chapter 8 The red Queen Ice Fairy''s Pov On the stairs I thought about this crazy cat and why it attacked me when a ray of light grabs my attention. Finally! I can''t remember how long I have already climbed these cursed stairs without seeing anything..... One hour? Two hours? 3 hours? My stamina is surprisingly high. It makes sense: Our race had to help the much bigger and therefore often faster animals. If only my wings would work! Maybe I should ask the crazy geezer about them. What''s that? A long shadow describes the outlines of a strange creature. I stop. The creature moves a bit. Wind fondles my cheek. Step by step I move closer. The red light from the door gap gives the head sized thing an unearthly halo. I stay outside the light cone and muster it: It only shows me its back. Thick black fur covers it. Long hair leads to the floor. A string goes upwards from its behind into nothingness. I step into the cone. The wind changed direction. The animal slowly turns. A blue face of a woman stares into my eyes. I involuntary go a step back. A startled scream leaves my lips. The eyes wander upwards. The head of a fairy is clumsily sewn onto the body of a poodle. It hangs down from the ceiling like a spider, completely frozen. I try to make the biggest circle possible around this creature. Something caresses my shoulder. I start running. Two more things touch my body. I reach the door and open it. Light illuminates the staircase. My head turns. The red cone reveals 100s of fairy-spider-poodles. A shiver runs down my spine. Every one of these chimeras has been alive once. What does the kingdom need something like this for? And whose creations are they? Maybe the queen needed guardians for the root tower. I saw that the staircase had an underground level. Or is there something else in this big cave? I step through the door. The red light blinds me. After some time the structures take form. I ascend the stairs of the small tunnel. Red crystal torches are left and tight. At the end I open a trap door. I take a peak. A box with S&M toys obstructs my view. (The queen knows how to have fun with her husband.) I open the hatch fully. I know this place..... Expensive clothes hang on branches which originate at the walls and at the ceiling. It''s the palace. More precisely: The closet of the queen where I got my dress from. Puh! From here on I can find the crazy geezer''s place. But first let''s have an audience with the king. Hehehe... I go to the place I saw the king last time. He is in the library reading a book. In front of the king I drop a curtsy (I, Ice fairy) "Your majesty. If this humble subject may ask: Why do you have spider-fairy-poodles in your cellar?" No answer. I go to the king, sit on his lap and put my arm around him. (I, Ice fairy) "You can tell me I won''t tell anyone....." I pretend to listen carefully to the ice statue. Nothing¡­ (I, Ice fairy) "What a pity!... If you won''t tell me, you can maybe answer me this: Would you leave your wife and only love me?" I kiss his cheek and put my ear to his lips without expecting anything. (Fairy King, very low Volume) "Tshhhh, tshhhhhh.....1, 2, 3 .....test, test......1, 2, 3....My only love is the sea!....tshhh" I nearly fell from the royal lap when I received an answer. The fairy king can talk although he is frozen! Is he maybe an ice Fairy too? I don''t leave his lap because otherwise I wouldn''t be able to reach his lips. I position my ear again. (Fairy King, very low Volume) "Year 2890 183964 days without any contact. 183965th try. Hello fairy king can you hear me?" In my eyes is panic. (I, Ice fairy, shaking voice) ".....Fairy king?.... I am sorry I misused you as a seat but otherwise I wouldn''t be able to understand you." (Fairy king) "Hello! Can you understand me?" (I, Ice fairy) "Yes, your majesty." The fairy king laughs. Cheering is audible in the background. Have I even become crazier than the crazy geezer? I don''t know if I can handle this many personas. (Fairy King) "Hahaha! Pshhh! pshhh!" The cheering quiets down. (Fairy King, excited) "Hello! We are the ''underground fairies'' and I am the ''phone fairy''. Who are you?" (I, Ice Fairy) "¡­.Wait I am confused..... So you aren''t the king? *Sigh* and I thought I could steal a royal kiss from you." (Phone fairy =Fairy King) "*Whispering* You want to kiss the fairy king?" (I, Ice fairy "Oh didn''t you remember? I kissed your cheek?" (Phone fairy) "*louder whispering* Actually I am connected to the kings head by a telepathic link. I only increased the Volume. Therefore it''s possible to understand me when you are near his head. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.I am sitting under the surface of the main land in ''underground Pixie Hollow''." I turn red. (Phone fairy) "What happened? Why didn''t the king respond for more than 500 years?" (I, Ice fairy) "Uhm, the King is frozen like everyone else. The crazy geezer said that from one day to the other the whole land was covered in ice. Oh yeah do you have light fairies in ''underground Pixie Hollow''? They could maybe unfreeze the others." (Phone fairy) "What Pixie Hollow is frozen?" (Angry loud feminine voice in the background) "Phone fairy! Phone fairy! How dare you, showing your queen your back and ignore her! You know the punishment for ignoring me." (Phone fairy) "Ah, your red majesty. Please show mercy to this fool because I am not worthy for your wrath!" (Red Queen) "You know your punishment and every fairy has to pay her or his debt! You are no exception." (Phone fairy) "NOOOOOOOooooooo, please have merci!" (Red Queen) "It''s your own fault for not respecting me. Besides what are you babbling about Pixie Hollow is frozen?" (Phone fairy) "My Queen I have made contact with Pixie Hollow after 500 of constant calling." (Red Queen) "You have?" (Phone fairy) "Yes, I am currently talking to a person called ''Ice fairy''. She says that everyone in Pixie Hollow is frozen and that they need a light fairy to unfreeze them." (Red Queen, shouting) "Is she completely out of her mind?! We won''t send royalty into this blizzard outside! A warm fairy won''t survive a day! Why don''t they open a portal? We always used portals in the past." What a bitch! I(=Ice fairy) bet she looks like a cow. Commanding and punishing the good natured man like he belongs to her! I even hate hearing her voice. But let¡¯s play along for now. It''s my only chance to get a decent boy. The ''phone fairy'' guy sounds interesting. Maybe I could have a talk with him in private later. First things first. (I, Ice fairy, play a bit intimidated) "Could your highness please tell me where the portal is and how it works?" The phone fairy repeats my words for the red queen. (Red Queen) "Why do I have to explain everything myslelf? A little portal is on the floor in the throne room. You have to open a valve and cover the whole thing with pixie dust." (I, Ice fairy) "Please wait for a moment you highness." (Red Queen) "I give you 15 minutes of my precious time." I go to the throne room where my first victim with extraordinary artistic war paint sits. A proud smile spreads over my lips..... It''s really my personal masterpiece. The throne, she is sitting in, is golden. Artistic pictures are engraved on it. Around the throne are littler ones. Every chair has its own theme. It suggests that every kind of fairy has its own seat. The seats for the cold fairies (ice fairies belong to the group of cold fairies) have slits on the bottom. They are most likely air conditioned. A star-like formation is at the bottom. Above it hangs a big chandelier artistically imbedded in the pattern of the ceiling. Around the delicate work a tube winds like a spiral. Its opening shows in the middle of the star formation. Hm, it looks like this is the portal. Now I only have to find the valve for the pixie dust. It must be somewhere at the main throne. I throw the queen out of her seat and place myself in it. A window with different buttons appears before me. Startled I study the inscriptions on them.
Open main gate,
No,
Open trap door with laser sharks,
No,
Open portal to Chuck Norris¡¯ porcelain figure collection,
No Oh! Here it is! I point at:
Open portal to underground Pixie Hollow.
Error! No Pixie dust available!
Damn it! I try it another 2 times. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why isn''t there any dust? Hasn¡¯t the crazy geezer mentioned something about his drone searching for my Pixie dust? It must be pretty rare nowadays. No.... This means I can''t escape this frozen hell. It''s tempting me with godlike men but they are out of my reach. The only choice here is a man with 3 personas! Maybe I can unfreeze snow white but it''s unlikely because of the broken console. I kick the fairy queen on the floor. Ooouuuh! my toe! Damn frozen......! I return to the king. A figure is sitting in his lap. It¡¯s that damn, men-robbing redhead! Chapter 9 Confrontation Chapter 9 Confrontation Ice fairy''s Pov In the palace''s library The red demon looks me directly into the eyes without winking. Both of us don''t move. She slowly raises a hand. It holds a pipe. The wood moves to her lips and she takes a big breath. Smoke flows out of her mouth. The eyes don''t break contact. A quiet *hic* fills the room. My lungs fill with air and a storm breaks lose. I go with firm steps into the direction of the robber. My eyes burn. *hic* *hic* *hic* My hand grabs her shoulder and pulls her out of the lap. She isn''t able to do anything. I retake my sacred place. She sits dump folded on her bottom before the king''s feet. Some meters beside her is her pipe. The content is spilled over the floor. (Ginger fairy) "What''s your problem? You could have asked me to get out!" I ignore her and kiss my treasure on the cheek. The villain looks shocked in my direction. Why are you shocked? Haven''t you ever seen a woman kiss a man? *hic* *hic* (Ginger fairy) "Do you *hic* know who you are *hic* kissing?" (I, Ice fairy) "This is my king. Look for your own! Don''t steal the men of other women! You red, cursed succubus!" *hic* The red head stares at me with an unbelieving look. *hic* The eyes slowly begin to look through me. She stands up, smoothes her coat and picks up her pipe. She begins stuffing it again. (Ginger fairy) "Anyways now is not the time for this sort of discussion." She puts the mouth piece between her teeth and tries lightening the pipe while speaking only with her lips. (Ginger fairy) "We have to go back to the crazy geezer to think about our next steps. While you were gone the red queen and the phone fairy had quite an interesting conversation." I hesitate for a moment but then firm eyes look at the occupied face. (I, ice fairy) "Yeah right and when I leave my place you will be all over my man! As if I would be such an idiot!" A sigh leaves her mouth. She looks at me. (Ginger fairy) "I am not interested in the king." (I, ice fairy) "What I saw before tells me otherwise. You want to steal him! Who would believe a red demon like you?!" *hic* *hic* (Ginger fairy) "I just wanted to listen what the underground fairies talked about while you were gone." (I, Ice fairy) ¡°Yeah, right while playing with him!¡± I produce headphones from ice and put them on. The ginger fairy says something. I point at my headphones and move my lips noiselessly saying: (I, ice fairy) "I can''t understand you." I see her hicing. She is definitely angry. She cries and I understand her faintly (Ginger fairy) "Put your headphones *hic* down! You, *hic* brute!" Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. I smile at her. She stops crying and puffs her pipe in big breaths. Why doesn''t she have to hic up while puffing her pipe? It should be quite difficult.... After a while a calm expression spreads over her face. Like being in the delirium she looks at me. Then she leaves. Finally! This nuisance disappeared. I stay in the lap while flirting with the owner. Snuggling to his chest I close my eyes. These headphones are quite uncomfortable. I put them off. Quiet voices cry at me: (phone fairy) "Ice fairy! Are you there? Ice fairy!" (Red queen) "Did she leave too? Now I won''t ever be able to go home. 500 years of hoping for salvation from this dump and I suffocate the only spark of hope" (Phone fairy) "My queen!?" (Red queen) "Oh did I say it out loud? I don''t mean you, my loyal subject. Only the nobles....only the nobles... Besides you don''t have to question your queen!" I try putting the sparkeling headphones on again, but they slip off my head and fall to the wooden floor. They splinter into thousand pieces on the smooth surface. (I, Ice fairy, whispering voice) "Damn!" (Phone fairy) "Ice fairy! Ice fairy! I know you are here. I heard you." (I, Ice fairy) "Yes, yes you are right.... Jeez, can''t I have a moment for myself." (Phone fairy) "My queen, we established contact." (Red queen) "Good! It took long enough! Why isn''t the portal activated? Our door is covered in pixie dust since half a millennium!" (I, Ice fairy) "I don''t have enough pixie dust to activate it." The phone fairy repeats what I said. (Red queen) "Then she should get it from the tree. There should be plenty. (I, ice dairy) "This won''t be possible. Nearly all the dust is frozen. The crazy geezer''s drone looked for 500 years and found only enough dust for my birth." The phone fairy repeats it. (Red queen) "hmmmm, What to do? I have no choice. I, as queen order you to come to underground Pixie hollow and get enough pixie dust to warp me there and save everybody to pixie holow. Don''t talk about this to anyone." When you manage this, I personally will give you everything your heart desires." (I, Ice fairy) "Everything?" Phone fairy repeats it. (Red queen) "Everything, what is in my might." Honks run up and down in my head.. They only wear shorts and let their muscles play. A war cry resounded in my mind: For the men, for the unfrozen testosterone! For my womanhood! What is a woman without minimum one man? What is a man without a woman? She wouldn''t be a woman. He wouldn''t be a man. Only a neutral something. The queen spoke while this kind of thinking filled my head. (Red queen) "For this mission I will give you the combination for the vault. You can take everything you need. It''s deep under the palace and under the root tower." We talked after this for some time about the details of my quest. Chapter 10 The Lunatic and the Ginger Chapter 10 The Lunatic and the Ginger Ginger fairy''s pov Dear readers You must be a bit confused, why I knew the Ice fairy although I have never seen her. It''s easy: I hid myself behind a wall. A detective will do everything to get as much information as possible. It''s only logical to hide behind a wall and let the person talk and let her or him say, what they want to say. It''s easier than putting the person under pressure or to get it out of her or his nose. In the end they will become stubborn and don''t say anything. To eavesdrop on the Ice Fairy was easy enough. But if you don''t cancel the psychic connection while talking about stuff you don''t want anyone else to hear, it''s simply foolish. The phone fairy and the red queen wholeheartedly talked about the two other underground queens(Yellow queen and blue queen). The red royalty forbade the phone fairy to tell them or the Ice fairy anything. I suspect that the red queen wants to create her new own kingdom in Pixie Hollow. But this is only a theory. They talked about other stuff too, but I don''t want to spoil your fun when you read the story. It startled me when the Ice fairy suddenly returned. She is a pretty sneaky brat. I became really interested in the different expressions she went through. I know, I know, it''s really uncommon to have fun in studying peoples expression. But this makes me a good (when I am allowed to say this) detective. My hic up began when she stopped at the angry face. It was really unplesant when she knocked me onto the floor. You, reader, yourself will know, how crazy children can drive you. This girl really needs a spanking! At the second thought, it would look really weird when a grown woman would spank another... A grown woman, who is centuries younger than yourself..... Fairy Anatomy... A mystery in itself. Another thing I wanted to mention, dear reader: Don''t judge me because I got high. It normally hardly ever happens, but this black and white spoiled kid made me hyperventilate. My motto is: Enjoyment in moderation. Thank you for your understanding. Yours Ginger Fairy In the royal bedroom *snore ** snore ** loud snore * I get startled by my own snoring and look around me. One side of my hair stands in all directions, the other is untouched. When I don''t see anyone I lay back into my bed. After a while I get up. * yawn * My mouth tastes like sandpaper. * smack * * smack * What a crazy trip: I fantasized about writing a letter to an audience. My eyes are swollen so that I nearly can''t see anything. The pipe lies besides me on the bedside table. The whole sleeping room looks like a torture chamber. Toys are on the right and left side. In front of the bed is a table to strap a person on. It''s nothing new since I saw the box with the s&m toys. I take my pipe and put my mixture in it. What should I do next? I don''t know how long I was out but I am sure that the Ice Fairy isn''t in the library any more It wouldn''t be possible to talk with her anyway...... Let''s look for the crazy geezer. I leave the castle and go to the candy town. There gingerbread man takes me to the only bar in town. At the bar sits the deeply depressed old man. He takes a small glance at me and then falls back into his melancholy. A big jug with coco stands in front of him. I sit down on the bar stool beside him and sign the soldier in front of me to get the same. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. (ginger fairy) ¡°Your wife?... I told you that this woman is nothing but trouble.¡± I begin stuffing my pipe. (crazy geezer) ¡°You are up?" An astonished face with tears and heavy bags is being revealed to me, but it soon changes into a tortured expression and buries itself in the geezers hands. (crazy geezer)"What do you know?¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°I know that being alone with her always gave you a bad time. You know it''s not the first time I see you sitting here in front of a big jug.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°She has her faults but who hasn''t any?¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°What did she do now?¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°Do you know Wilson?¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°You mean your Computer? Don''t say any more.... I understand.¡± The crazy geezer breaks out in tears. (ginger fairy) ¡°You, your wife and wilson.¡± A sad smile plays around my lips. I shake my head. The jug is placed in front of me. I take a big sip. Cream is around my mouth. I wipe it with my coat away. (ginger fairy) ¡°You know, I have always hated her for what she is doing to you. She shows me how far you are gone from the one you were before.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°I know you don''t like her, red, but it''s love. ¡­.... You wouldn''t understand.¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°You don''t think I know what it means to love someone? (crazy geezer) ¡°Do you?¡± (ginger fairy) I loved and how I loved! I loved a man 500 years ago. A great man, who sacrificed everything to keep us save.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°So you aren''t as cold as I thought you are. I always imagined you to have a heart of ice.¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°The outside doesn''t mirror the inside. You know? .... Tell me: Why do you love her? Do you know that she is only an alter ego of yourself?¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°* sarcastic Ha * What are you talking about ''alter ego''? Hm, why do I love her? I love that she is always looking out for everyone and that it never gets boring with her.......besides she always seems to know exactly what I want.¡± My eyes become glassier the more he talks. In the end I stop listening to him and swallow my sadness with every breath on the pipe. After a while it bursts out of me: (ginger fairy) ¡°Why? Why? Why did you choose eternity by yourself and didn''t let me join you?¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°How could I let the person I loved most at the time let me join in this lonely task?¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°But I wouldn''t have needed anyone else. I wanted to spend my whole live with you.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°Hahaha, a young fairy like you with a old man like me. I wouldn''t be able to forgive myself besides everyone else would go crazy about it.¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°At the time you weren''t old. Besides you won''t have to think about ''everyone else'' any more because they won''t be able to raise any complaint for a long time.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°What are you talking about?¡± (ginger fairy) ¡°Your cookie train-cat destroyed the controls. No one will get up any time soon.¡± (crazy geezer) ¡°What?! How did this happen? I even build fail saves for the fail saves.¡± His eyes open wide. (Ginger fairy) ¡°Don''t worry. Your friend the Ice Fairy found a solution. She found you a light fairy¡± His jaw drops (crazy geezer) ¡°How?.......When?...... Really?¡± A broad smile takes over his facial expression. We sat there the whole evening plotting how to unfreeze our land and how to make countermeasures against the red, yellow or blue queen. Chapter 11 Crash Landing Chapter 11 Crash Landing Ice fairy''s Pov. In the air somewhere above Europe. O what a glorious feeling. I can''t get enough of it. Who would have thought that flying is a joy like this? I imitate superman. It''s the sign to accelerate. The cold air dances around my wings. I sail on the wind and split the dark night. A trace of snow falls down to the ground behind me. These exoskeleton-jet-pack wings are great. The handling is fun: It works by striking different poses They are made of cristal and are fueled by creating really, really cold ice, which is easy peasy for me. I found this crazy apparatus in the vault. It''s a pretty cool place: In the first chamber were treasures: Like awesome bracelets or rings. The royal gown, completely made out of gold and the crown were there too but I wasn''t really interested in this golden stuff. The color gold is ugly as hell..... You can speak for yourself when you think that every girl has to like golden merchandise. Gold is for rich old ladies who don''t know where to throw their money! And who wants to look like an old Lady.... My hands decorate 4 rings. 2 of them are silver with black stones and the other two are silver with white diamonds. The webbing of my hands made some problems, but with a bit brute force the accessories fit. As a result my fingers hurt like hell, but you know, beauty must suffer. A necklace, made from black and white pearls, decorates my neck. I simply look dashing! I could have stayed half my life in the first chamber, trying on jewelry but my curiosity took the better of me and I peeked into the next room. It was full of robots, exoskeletons, rockets, robot unicorns, and gundams for bear wrestling. These things were no use to me because there was no pixie dust to fuel them. These exoskeleton-jet-pack wings and a helmet similar to Wilson were some of the only equipment¡¯s which ran on ice. There was quite a bit of stuff which ran on other elements. Such as light or plant growing. Plant growing equipment is quite intresting because on one side you grow the plant and on the other side you burn it for fuel. When I identified the ice equipment it made me jump from one leg to the other. Finally I could fly in the air and find myself a man who can do more than just looking beautiful! I immediately put the exosuit on and took the shortest route here to the main land. The only things I took with me are the jewelry, the virtual reality helmet, the manual of the exosuit and some sweets. Maybe I should have prepared myself a bit more, but I couldn''t wait a second longer...... Men, real men! I faze out in mid flight. Some drool spreads with the snowflakes behind me. In the air somewhere above Europe. A little light emerges from the horizon. Anticipation spreads in my breast. Could it be? A settlement with living people. Maybe there is even a fairy herculean. Oh, how wonderful would it be to fall in his strong arms, being hold tight and pinch his rear ones in a while. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. One, maybe two would be enough and I would be completely happy for a lifetime. I head straight for the light. Suddenly the light disappears. What happened? Where is my salvation? A 1 meter snowball emerges, covering the spark. I wake up from my daydreams. It only misses me by 10 centimeter. A second one follows the first one from behind and I launch in a crazy maneuver to evade it. What the hell? Where do these snow balls come from? I am minimum 100 meters above the ground. My gaze wanders back to look at the source of the projectiles. What could have launched something like this? A little light gives me a hint for the position of the attacker. I turn my head to the front to confirm the position of the light by looking at the stars. Only to find a big ball blocking my view. * batsh * After a short fall kilos of snow bury me. Luckily the white mass is soft enough. Damn. What happened? The ball came out of nowhere! Did I violate someone¡¯s airspace? Probably not..... I mean which country uses snowballs as air defense. Luckily I have under the thick snow blanket enough air to breath. Hopefully the exoskeleton-jet-pack works. I flex my muscle and struggle against the surrounding snow to strike a superman pose. Only one of the two rockets reacts. The stream lets me shoot forward out of the ground. In the air I fly in a circle and strike head first the ground. My upper body disappears in the snow before I cancel my pose. I get out and sit up. The snow is everywhere! When this stuff melts everything will be wet. It''s even in my ears. I try the best to clean me. When the last snowflake leaves my ear I hear something. A low humming sound is audible in the distance......... Sounds like an engine....No, a whole bunch of them. What''s that in the background? Music? Kettledrums? A guitar? A trumpets? Hm.... There are 3 possibilities: 1. They are people, who want to capture me. 2. They are people who want to save me. 3. They are people who mind their own business. But all three choices have something in common: They are people! Although they want most probably capture me. But they are People! Maybe even men. If I am lucky there could even be some hot sugar biscuits within their group. A chill goes through my body...... Oh they can capture me, alright... Then a really disturbing thought crosses my mind: What if they are robots? Soulless robots without any human emotions or even worse: What if they are a bus to a female model camp. Oh God! Please let it be rugged men. They can do whatever they want to do with me but don''t let it be a bus full of female super models! I go down onto my knees to speak a prayer while closing my eyes tight. Before my eyes the fantasies of men run up and down, doing poses. A little drool line forms in the corner of my mouth. After a long prayer the sounds surround me. I don''t dare opening my eyes.It could be a bus full of ginger fairies. One engine after another shuts down. Cigarette smoke tingles my nose. The music stops from one moment to another. A deep male voice begins speaking. Chapter 12 The Big Fat Boss Chapter 12 The Big Fat Boss Ice Fairy¡¯s Pov Somewhere in the middle of Europe A deep male bass voice begins talking: (deep male voice) ¡±Hey there! What does a smooth lady like you do here in the middle of nowhere? ¡± A short saxophone solo underlines his words. I slowly open my eyes. A bright light blinds me. My lids shut again. (Creepy voice, very excited) ¡°Big brother, am I allowed to eat it? Am I? Am I? I am hungry, sooooo hungry! Funky! Funky! Funky!¡± (Deep male voice) "If you are hungry drink some sweet white nectar the mothers of our tribe gave us. Bring me a bottle too!¡° Short Saxophone solo. (Creepy voice) ¡°Hungry! I''d only try one leg..! Funky! Funky! Funky!¡± Guilty conscience tortures me because of Tom I reopen my eyes. They are unable to see anything because of the bright headlights, coming from every direction. I try to protect them by using my hand with minor success. The deep male voice ignores the creepy one. (Deep male voice) " Little lady, what''s your name?¡° (Ice Fairy) "I am Ice Fairy. Could you please dim down the lights a bit? They hurt my eyes. ¡° A moment of silence follows. ¡­.. (Creepy voice) "Brother! brother! Bell! Bell! Funky!" (Deep voice) "What are you talking about? I don''t hear any bells.. .. Only the sweet voice of the little Lady. Dim the lights!" A saxophone solo fills the quiet night, which is answered by the kettledrums. The lights dim down and I am able to see. In front of me is a fat yeti with a saxophone in his right hand. Sunglasses are on his snout. His suit is a bit too small but his hat gives him his dignity back. He sits on a throne which overlooks all the other vehicles. It''s on a big snow crawler. Beside him is a bottle with a white fluid inside. The 30 vehicles look like a circus caravan. There are tractors with twin wheels, modified cars and motorbikes. The bikes have skis instead of front wheels and chains instead of the hind ones. They look fantastic. I bet the yetis are quite skilled using them A second snow crawler even has a stage built on it. A rock band is on it. Two other have a catapult mounted on them.... Looks like the snow balls which interrupted my journey came from them. In every vehicle is a white ape. Some of them have iron helmets and others have eye patches. Nearly everyone has rivets somewhere on their clothes. Many of their outfits consist of leather. A part of the group is completely naked. They only have some belts with grenades slung around their body and Furpainting. Most of the women have nothing to hide their breasts with. It appears the cold doesn''t bother them the slightest. I suppose they could have some piercings on their bodies too but they aren''t visible under their thick white fur. Instead it is colored at some spots with war paint. Beside the fat one is an ape with disheveled hair. Around his neck is a chain, binding him to the side of the throne (fat yeti boss = Deep male voice) " So your name is ''Ice Fairy''. ¡° Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. He takes the bottle and sucks on it. When he puts it away some white drops fall on his gigantic belly. The creature beside him comments (creepy yeti=creepy voice) "I want to eat ¡­Ice Fairy! Funky! Funky! Funky!¡° The big one answers the remark with regretful eyes. The fat yeti boss takes the sax and plays a tune. (fat yeti boss) "Where are you from little lady? I haven''t ever seen someone like you around... And how did you fly through the sky? ....." I won''t say anything..... At first I thought this voice would belong to a sexy man but it''s a fat something.... Even worse than the crazy geezer. My eyes drop.... A cool motorbike gang and no six packs, no bulky guys.... Only fuzzy monkeys.... Tears blur my vision. God is this your taste of humor. First you let me fear that it''s a bus with cheerleader and then you give me men who look like this? What a sadistic creature are you? (fat yeti boss) "My, my, have you lost your words? I know what''s it like to lose ones muse" Why can''t you be 30 cm instead of 3 meters, have a good body and a funny attitude. Instead you are a sadistic tyrant who binds his fellow monkey to his throne. A sob leaves my lips. (fat yeti boss) "Then this means you will accompany us a little further on our journey... Hunter yeti bring her to me!¡° His instrument plays a tune. A tall yeti with a rifle and a helmet comes out of the crowd. Around his neck are binoculars and under his right arm is a small bird cage. He looks handsome for a yeti but he is covered with white fur .......God why don''t you give me a spark of hope? I know the abs are under this white mess but they are out of my reach.... Wait, before I crash landed a little light was at the horizon was t....It was too far away to be a part of the caravan. Maybe there is a village and there could be ...... my spark of hope! But I can''t get there when I am cought. The hunter''s hand slowly reaches for me. He tries to catch me but I do my best to flee from it.. I strike a superman pose to fly into the sky but it''s difficult to hold the equilibrium. I fly a circle. My upper body buries itself in the ground. A big hand follows me. I manage to slip through the fingers and strike a superman pose again. I break head first through the snow blanket to the surface and fly 2 meters above the heads of the monkeys. The hunter yeti formed a snow ball with the hand he had underground and throws it in my direction. It hits. A little fairy falls down to the ground. He immediately jumps at me. The yeti captures me and forces me into the bird cage. A proud smile dominates his features. He places me without a word beside the fat yeti boss and vanishes into the group. The crawling monkey beside the fat ape eyes my body greedily. (creepy yeti) ?Can I eat it later? Funky! Funky! Funky!¡° (fat yeti boss) ?No, you won''t touch the little Lady!¡° The creepy one throws begging eyes at his brother but he is ignored. So the creature retreats back into a corner beside the throne and mumbles something inaudible. The fat yeti boss sucks on his bottle while lost in thought. His voice mumbles very quietly: (Fat yeti boss) ¡°I wonder what her sweet, sweet mother-milk tastes like.¡° Chapter 13 Monkey Talk Chapter 13 Monkey Talk Somewhere in europe Ice fairy''s Pov I sit in my cage in semidarkness. A little light emerges from the bottom. An ice sculpture castle stands in front of me. Beside me plays the fat yeti boss with his band while driving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZSQUyU00s Yeah of course at first I protested against the cage but the fat monkey ignored me. When I began whining they put a towel over my cage. So I grew bored and began building. My castle is constructed to be a flying one. It doesn''t really fly.... I am not that good but it''s pretty awesome. It''s pulled by flying lions...In my fantasy they only eat flying reindeers so they can continue flying. The whole construction isn''t supposed to land so the top and bottom of the disc is covered with towers..... Or are they towers when they point to the ground? The monstrosity I built rests on a stative. Working on this kind of projects helps me thinking....... Poor me! I only wanted a man.... I am not even picky about the size but my fate is to become a cow for these beasts..... Doesn''t someone need to be pregnant before giving milk? I am not sure if fairies can even get children..... . In my case I don''t think I have a mother. Where do fairies come from? The only thing I saw was the drone of the crazy geezer..... Do I come from a fish-tank in a laboratory? This certainly would explain the little common knowledge I have.....But I don''t remember that there was anything except the console, the drone on the plateau and of course my gorgeous godfather (fairy man ch1(Mr. dreamy)). I am certain it has something to do with pixie dust. The drone mentioned it.....Hm... Anyway let''s assume I can get pregnant. I am quite certain that there are 2 genders of fairies and these two cherry sized things can''t be attached to me for nothing. This would mean I can get an ugly, fury, little yeti baby with wings. Imagining something like that makes me want to puke. Sure you can now claim that it is anatomical impossible but there are ways..... For example what if they let me swim in their....... No, let''s don''t think any further. It''s a waste of time... Think about ways to break out before they can even come up with such things. Hm..... Metal is some kind of ice isn''t it? It''s hard and can be molten. Maybe I can change its structure..... I try it on a little portion of the floor and get some kind of feeling from the structure but nothing happens. Maybe I should work on that. But not now.... The longer I am here, the further away my destination is. I don''t have any time to master metal. The yeti band comes to an end and I hear someone completely out of breath beside me. I hurry to destroy my art. No one should know what I am capable of. A thin layer of ice covers the floor in the end. The towel vanishes and instead a face as big as me looks down at my figure. It''s dominated by its grinning mouth but the smile doesn''t reach its eyes behind the sunglasses. He wipes the sweat with the towel away. (fat yeti boss) "Sweet Lady it''s time for your big appearance! The stage is yours. So tell me what are you? " (I, Ice fairy grumpily) "It''s none of your business. Maybe I''ll tell you if you free me from this cage. Monkey! " A low tune is played on the instrument (fat yeti boss) "Little lady I am no fiend. I only want to talk to you and maybe we can play music together. " (I, Ice fairy) "Play music together? You want me to cooperate with you by locking me up? I envy your sense for strategy. What is the adventage of confining me in this cage?Where should I go? How should I escape? My wingss are a mess and I can''t reach any town from here." (fat yeti boss) "There are people who throw tomatoes and there are people who throw flowers. I don''t know who you will run into in the future but my music is an eccentric one. There are more tomato throwers than flower girls in the first row." You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. He plays a short swing on his sax (fat yeti boss) "If my suspicion about your race is correct I can''t underestimate you." (I, Ice fairy) "(aggressive) Pff....Why should you know what I am. There hasn''t been someone of my kind here for a long time. " (Fat yeti boss) "Yeah, I thought so. Let me tell you a story. " The yeti gives a sign to the band and silent background music begins. (fat yeti boss) "I once heard a song about the time before the cold winter. Before this cursed last day. Before mushroom day! Did you know that the weather changed 4 times a year in the past? Winter, Autumn, Summer and Spring. These were the names of the seasons. Winter was cold, very similar to the present In autumn the trees lost their leaves. I don''t even know what leaves are, but imagine: A naked tree without any firs and it''s alive. In Spring flowers bloomed on land. Ice flowers on land! Picture it. The last and most outstanding season was: Summer. Summer was a hot season. It was much hotter than now and there was no snow. It was so hot that people bathed in lakes. Can you imagine that? People who bath outside, without getting frozen instantly? " I imagine bathing with some fairies at home. Fantastic! It would be wonderful! Wait a moment....The cold doesn''t matter in my case: I could even swim in solid ice. I am an ice fairy! I know what I¡¯ll do when I get the chance. The corners of my mouth want to rise but I suppress it. I won''t show one smile in this cage and give him the satisfaction. (I, Ice fairy) "I have heard something similar. What about it? " The yeti boss plays a tune (big yet boss) "I haven''t finished my piece yet. The song also claims that nature spirits were responsible for these seasons. They lived in a land far, far away and I suspect that you are a winter nature spirit. He plays a short tune to underline his suspicion. A complicated expression spreads over my face. (I, Ice fairy) "Why do you believe such a ridiculous thing?" (big yeti boss) "For starters you made it snow while flying. Then you didn''t fear us although we surrounded you and last: Why is there ice in your cage?" He puts his instrument to his lips. I press mine together and a thin line forms. The big boss stops in the middleoif his movement. A quick glance over his glasses catches me. (Fat yeti boss) "Am I right, little Lady?" (I, Ice fairy) "What would happen if I told you that I am such a creature?" An awful smile spreads over his features. (big fat yeti) "Sweet little lady you don''t understand the situation. We all were forced to live in a cold lifeless world. It''s cold and the songs lack live since 500 years. ''Winter'' dominates it. Your clan or wathever you call it would be responsible for this season. This clan would be most probably accountable for the extinction of all the other seasons too." He plays a sad song. Does he make me responsible for this mess? I wasn''t even alive when the world turned to ice... (big fat yeti) ¡°Maybe you are even one of the main culprits.¡± Does he really think I look like a 500 year old grandmother? I am not nearly as old as ginger fairy! Okay she held up pretty good for a being of 500 years. I mean she doesn''t look a day older than a 25 year old human but this is beside the point. I am no old hag! (I, Ice fairy) "Do I look like a 500 year old hag to you?" (fat yeti boss) "I didn''t say that, sweet Lady, but I must confess that I don''t know what a 500 year old nature spirit or, what you call it, "fairy" looks like." That does it. (I, ice fairy) "You fat, stupid monkey! You wouldn''t even know what a real woman looks like when you see one without these sun glasses of yours!" He rolls his eyes. I throw a snow ball. Angry eyes meet my own. The fat one struggles with his temper. The creepy monkey at his side wants to throw himself at me but the fat one shortens the chain. He gives a sign. Semidarkness envelopes me again. Aggressive saxophone music begins playing. Chapter 14 Getaway Chapter 14 Getaway Ice fairy¡¯s Pov Somewhere near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea Part 1 It took me nearly an hour to calm down. Stupid monkey! Thinks I am an old hag! Thinks I am dumb enough to freeze handsome guys¡­.. Who does he think I am? I sit at the side and throw with ice balls. After every throw there is a *ding* Loud Saxophone noise comes from outside. Aggressive music is being played. Now would be the perfect time to leave. Dumb monkeys¡­¡­ They even left me with my jet pack wings¡­. Probably they think that they are a part of my body. Yeah, they really look too gorgeous. I stand up and flutter a bit with my sparkly wings. The normal wings already look like fireworks but the exoskeleton is like the crown on a beautiful princess'' head. It sort of looks like transparent scales similar to mountain crystal between the actual wings. Beneath them are two tubes for the snowflakes. A transparent foil which is stuck on the arms, legs and wings supports the extremities. You wouldn¡¯t know that it is a machine when you haven¡¯t ever seen a fairy without it. I rub my hands and begin to prepare my escape. I transform the ice on the floor into a big splint. It is as big as me. On one side I produce a thin plate. I lay myself on it. Stomach first. The scales of the jet pack are connected separately by ice sticks. My attention lays on not obstructing the wings. Otherwise it would be difficult to stir. Now is the moment of truth. I inhale two times deeply and close my eyes. I strike a superman pose and snow flows out of the turbine. My acceleration happens in a moment. The bars creak under my impact. The triangle forces the metal to the sides. I move forward a millimeter at the time. The towel flies from the cage away. Everyone¡¯s eyes are on me in this minute. The towel falls in the direction my jet engine points. It obstructs the view of the fat yeti boss. The snow makes it harder for him to cope with the situation. The bars bend. Only half a centimeter to go. The hunter yeti jumps into my direction. Two millimeters. The hunter¡¯s arm tries to push the cage off the throne. The yeti boss manages to throw the towel away. 1 millimeter The cage is in a skew angel. It falls. I break through. My sledge aims directly at the ground. I manage to correct the course by forcing the wings in the right position. A bumping and I am on my way. I slide over the ice and distance myself from the caravan. A look back confirms that the vehicles have stopped. The bikes slide full speed in my direction. The canons take aim. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Snowballs hail left and right. I am not out of the reach yet. A ball falls on the right. I dodge it. A second one falls. It barely misses. The third one hits. Damn! How are they so good in shooting snow balls? I fall. The sledge crumbles and I hit my head on something hard. Then everything goes dark. Part 2 In the Yeti headquarters My head feels like a yeti danced on it. I roll around and try to sleep again. Why did I sleep? Oh yeah, I know: I wanted to flee but a snow ball caught me... Where did they bring me? I open my eyes a slit wide. Above and around me is a transparent glass cage. The room is a transparent dome. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. My eyes close again. I don''t want to be in their base. I don''t want to, I don''t want to. I begin whining. A childish cry of frustration escapes my lips A soft feminine voice tries to comfort me: (Soft feminine voice) "It''s not too bad to be in the royal harem. My whining stops for a moment. Did I hear right? Royal harem? What does this monster want to do with me? What has it already done to me? A knot of fear emerges in my chest. Tears begin to roll down my cheeks. I hug my knees. Have I already taken the devilish bath while I was sleeping? (Soft feminine voice) "Hey! Hey! It''s really not so bad....¡± (I, Ice fairy) "B, b, but I don''t want to give birth to a hairy monkey baby" (Soft female voice) "I''m sorry, but I don''t understand you. Everytime you speak I hear bells ringing." I press on the jetpack, which wasn''t taken from me. It really looks like a part of me. A little round button springs out. I put the voice box onto my neck. A robotic voice repeats my words. (I, Ice fairy) "But I don''t want to give birth to a hairy monkey baby." (Soft female voice) "It''s not so bad to give birth to a monkey baby. Even if it''s from that father" (I, Ice fairy) "What do you know? You don¡¯t have to pop a hairy giant out of your thighs. " I turn myself around and face away from the voice. (Soft female voice) "I know because I have already given birth to two of them." (I, Ice fairy, mumbling) "They must look like angels." (Soft female voice) "My children may come from the devil. Nonetheless, they really are the most beautiful, hairy angels of the whole wide world. (I, Ice fairy) ¡°This has to come from your side of the family.¡± My curiosity sparks and I look into the woman''s brown eyes. She is rolled tightly into a thick coat. Only her face is visible. Rosy cheeks with freckles welcome me. Hatred sparks in my heart, but an ally is most often better then an enemy. So let''s try to befriend her. (I, Ice fairy) ¡°Point taken.¡± A smile spreads over the thin beautiful face. (Harem girl 1=soft female voice) "Hello, I am Harem girl 1. You must be Ice Fairy... I have heard about your attempt to flee¡­¡± (I, Ice fairy) ¡°Yeah, I got caught after the first hundred meter.¡± (Harem girl 1) ¡°Don¡¯t bother¡­ I tried to flee in the past too, when my 2 treasures weren''t born. Maybe I¡¯ll try it again when they are big enough. Till then I will bear it only for them.¡± She goes to one of the 2 cradles, standing in the room. Her hands take a baby out of one .The baby isn¡¯t white haired but brown haired. It looks like a man with hair all over the face: A long beard and bushy eyebrows cover it. No inch of face is visible, but it doesn¡¯t look like a yeti either.¡­. My first guess would have been: A dwarf (Harem girl 1) ¡°Isn¡¯t he the sweetest?¡± Only a mother could love such a child. Who wants to have a dwarfen baby from a yeti? I imagine my child: A dwarf with wings¡­. My blood runs cold. The second baby starts crying when the bearded one gets too much attention. The dwarf is put back into his bed. She takes the other one out and puts it to her chest¡­. (Harem girl 1) ¡°Na, na, na there is no reason to cry¡± The second one is female. She has the longest hair on her little head. The hair are so long that they hang into the crib and everything which doesn''t fit inside goes outside. Super! I can look forward to bear fairy Gimli and fairy Rapunzel. The woman sheds her layers of clothing and takes the girl to her chest. (Harem girl 1) ¡°Now, Ice fairy¡­ You want to flee from this place?¡± Chapter 15 Harem Girl 1 Chapter 15 Harem Girl 1 Ice fairy¡¯s Pov In the Yeti headquarters (Harem girl 1) ¡°Now, Ice fairy¡­ You want to flee from this place?¡± Her eyes look up from the hairy creature and focus me. I know she wants to lift my mood by distracting me and she manages it to a certain degree but every time she looks in my direction, I want to scratch her perfect brown eyes out. My fingernails want to deepen into her beauty and my teeth want to skin these ridiculous freckles from her face. I swallow it. It¡¯s better to have a friend in prison than an enemy. I look away so I don''t have to see her grinning features. (I, Ice Fairy) "Sure... A life as mother is nothing for me. I mean who would look after my children while I hunt men? And what would be the reaction of the fat ape." Harem girl 1 smirks. (Harem girl 1) "When I was as young as you I didn''t think about children either..." Yeah, you didn''t think about anything but filling your diapers and bending the nerves of your parents... I hold back the commentary and say instead (I, Ice Fairy) "You don''t look this old." Plays an old woman and looks like 25y old. How self-centered can someone be? Before she can react to my commentary I say: (I, Ice fairy) "Back to the topic: escape." (Harem girl 1) "Oh yeah.... I know a way, but it comes with a cost and it won''t be easy." I let out a sigh. (I, Ice fairy) "And what''s the price?" (Harem girl 1) "Yes, you are the sweetest little baby. Aren''t you? Aren''t you? And so hungry!" After the little one finished the mother lets her anorak fall over her bare breasts. She puts the little girl over her shoulder and knocks on her back. A loud *burp* leaves the child''s lips. (Harem girl 1) "How cute! You two are the cutest little babies! Aren''t you?" (I, Ice fairy) "Excuse me!" (Harem girl 1, annoyed) The price...It isn''t that high.... You only have to bring a secret message to my people." (I, Ice Fairy) "A message? What message?" (Harem girl 1) "It''s about politics. You wouldn''t be interested. Young people give a damn about politics. I was the same when I was your age." I roll my eyes. (I, Ice Fairy) "I want to know what I give my live for before I put it on the line. Tell me!" (Harem girl 1) "I can''t tell you everything but the rough outlines. You haven¡¯t seen it but the Yeti Kingdom, or Venice what it was called in its former days, is on its way to greenhouse kingdom, or former known as Pompeii." (I, Ice Fairy) "What? How is a whole kingdom able to go to another?" (Harem girl 1) "Way in the past even before mushroom day the yeti Kingdom was a City, built on water." (I, Ice Fairy) "A city built on water..." My eyes sparkle and my imagination runs wild. A city built on water...A floating city. Is it possible to make a whole city float? And what do they do when there is a storm? Wait a minute mushroom day. I have heard of it before. (I, Ice Fairy) ¡°What happened on mushroom day?¡± (Harem girl 1) ¡°No one really knows. The only known fact is that after that day the world became frozen. The sea surrounding the city became ice down to the bottom of the sea and the people weren''t able to catch any fish. Therefore they were doomed to starve. At this time a marvelous genius came to the city. He felt pity for the citizens and wanted to help them. Therefore he put the whole city on wheels and made it movable. The town is now able to fish everywhere by drilling holes into places with thinner ice. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.On the other side the vehicle can easily reach any other settlement on the sea. It¡¯s the biggest tank ever built." A driving city! This is even more awesome than my miniature castles in real life. Hm what does it drive on? Oil? Gas? Solar power? It has big drills to reach through the ice...My money is on the Methane gas in the ice, but this shouldn''t be nearly enough. Before I can ask, the attention of the mother is somewhere else. (Harem girl 1) "This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had roast beef This little piggy had none..." (Bearded baby) "Gagaga" I clear my throat (I, Ice Fairy) "Humph!" (Harem girl 1) "Aren''t they the most lovable little creatures?" I gesture her to continue with her story. A grumpy expression is the answer. (Harem girl 1) "All in all the Yeti kingdom wants to take over greenhouse kingdom and I want you to warn my people. Do you help me?" Why not? If I tell this Eskimo barby that I do it but I don''t, there won''t be a problem. The faster I get to underground Pixie Hollow, the faster I can hug a muscular hunk. How I long for his hairless abs! The alternative is some fury jiggly fat. Urgh. (I, Ice Fairy) "Okay, I will help you. Tell me what I have to do to stay a virgin." (Harem girl 1) "The sleeping chamber of the fat yeti boss borders to the dairy. One weird fetish of the yeti boss is to take a bath in his women''s milk after sex. Don''t ask me why I am no Freudian expert. The bathing ''water'' has to go outside somewhere as well as the bottles of milk. Maybe you can sneak after ''work'' into the bath and get flushed down or something similar. I''ll give you something to knock the fat pig out. Therefore you have enough time to figure out the last few steps." (I, Ice Fairy) "You are kidding? This is your great escape plan? For this you want an odyssey?" The freckled girl shrugs her shoulders and disappears from the room. Some moments later her figure appears again with a first aid kid and a gun like contraption. She goes to the crib of her son and takes a little animal (as big as myself) out. It looks like a chimera of a fish and a human. The body is identical to a trout which has the hands, legs and the face of a human. The abomination begins to sing (Humanlike trout) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz7a9ZvHpP4 (=My bonnie is over the ocean) The bearded baby begins to protest when the fish is taken from his crib but the mother calms him by petting him. (I, Ice Fairy) "What are you doing?" She uses the gun like contraption and fumbles with it at the back of the half fish. Some red stains the ice and the song becomes louder until it quiets a little bit again. The wound on the fish is patched up with the help of the first aid kid. She comes to my cage. The weapon points into the air. I can imagine what it is. (Harem girl 1) "I will implant the chip into your behind. If it¡¯s not removed within three months it will blow up. It will also blow up if it isn¡¯t removed with the correct password. All the necessary data for my country is on it. You will find the green house Kingdom if you go north. Please lay with your stomach on the floor." My eyes look shocked at the contraption. (I, Ice Fairy) "Do you really think I let you mark me like your pet?!" A sigh escapes the harem girl¡¯s lips. She presses a button and gas fills my prison. Familiar darkness envelopes me. The last thing I hear is a farting sound and the exclamation of the young mother (Harem Girl 1) "How cute!!¡° Chapter 16 The Crazy Brother Part 1 Ice fairy¡¯s Pov In the Yeti headquarters When I wake up the yeti dance group awaits me. They take their second lesson on my head. My butt feels like someone put something in there. With my hand I feel for it. A patch welcomes me. Curse you, Eskimo Barbie! When I open my eyes it is night. Complete darkness awaits me. No stars, no moon over the glass dome. I am alone in my cage. The fingers of my other hand hold onto something. The dark makes it impossible to see it. I feel for its contours. It''s long, wet and has a pointy tip: A needle. How does the girl think I can knock out a giant ape with a needle? But maybe it¡¯s wet for a reason.... Let''s gamble on it. I sit up and rub the sore place. What should I do now? I hear steps. Is it him? Does the monster want to make me his? I am so small and he is so big. Can this little stick really protect me from the beast? I hide behind one of my transparent wings. A light emerges from the corner. The needle reflects it silvery. I press myself to the floor and pretend to sleep. Between me and the floor is the needle. A saxophone tune fills the night: Step by step the light approaches. The song becomes louder and louder. The familiar smell of the hated creature intrudes my nose. The shine of the lamp reveals the grimace of the disgusting ape. He stays for a moment in the door. Then a flash of light reveals everything: The fat body, his white greasy fur and the cold, expecting eyes. I close my eyes. The song stops. A deep bass voice speaks softly the words: (Fat yeti boss) "Little Lady, it''s your cue now. Wake up!" I don''t move and pretend to sleep. A big hand grabs the cage. My prison flies one meter above the floor, over the steps and over the carpets. We descend deeper and deeper into the fortress. While we are on the way, the ape speaks to me: (Fat yeti boss) "Sweet Lady, my women are my pride and you are the Stradivari in my collection. I am looking forward to tune you, to play on you and to try your sweet nectar in the end." Some drool collects in the corner of his mouth. (Fat yet boss) "Oh, this sweet nectar! You know, my brother, the previous king, was at first against drinking the blessing of our mothers. He said milk is for babies and not for warriors. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. A quiet, deep chuckle escapes his lips. It sounds like deep drums. (Fat yeti boss) "Now the milk drinking baby made the strongest warrior into a mere crazy child." A sax tune fills the air. The drums sound deeply. (Fat yeti boss) "He said my goals are crazy and then you come, riding on snowflakes, proofing that all my previous claims are true." The drums make the air vibrate. He puts my cage on the floor. Tears fall. He bends over to hold his stomach. He catches his breath again and whispers in a low, deep voice. (Fat yeti boss) "Who is crazy now?" A door opens. My eyes see orange behind the closed eyelids. Part 2 Ice fairy¡¯s Pov In the Yeti headquarters A Chorus begins singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vmUfL2xVoM A band accompanies the chorus. It sits across of it. I hear the cheering of a thousand people. (Thousand cheering people) "Fat yeti boss. You can do it! Fat yeti boss. You can do it!!" Okay¡­ and I thought he would bring me into his sleeping chamber. Does he want me to fight someone? I freeze the ground around me to hide the needle under white frozen layer of water. I slowly open my eyes and pretend to stretch while creating the ice. It should appear like stretching my powers. The audience surrounds me. My cage is on a pedestal in the middle of a big, round, fluffy, red bed. Little cages with women, or a better description would be freaks, are around it. Most of them are arrogant looking yetis but some look a bit unusual. For example there is a creature which has the shape of a turtle. She has a big shell on her back and her head looks similar to a toad but her body is green and sexy. Another ''woman'' has the head of a Teddy bear but the bodyline of an attractive 20 year old girl. The one beside the Teddy is similar to Miss Piggy of the sesame street and across of them is a transformer woman. When I see Harem girl 1 my blood runs cold. Are these his warriors or is this his precious harem¡­ This would mean that this is his sleeping chamber. I wave her but she doesn''t notice me or she tries to hide our connection. I look at the spectator.s There are children, babies, men and women. Even elderly are among them. Some people sell snacks to the crowd. They shout. (Thousand cheering people) "Fat yeti boss! You can do it!" The fat yeti boss raises his hand and the people quiet down. The music stops and the fat yeti boss begins speaking in his deep bass voice: Chapter 17 The Arena Chapter 17 The Arena Ice Fairy¡¯s Pov In the yeti headquaters (Fat yeti boss) "My citizens, you all are invited to take part in and be part of my pleasure by watching. I''ll rock two of these Ladies as supporting act, but the main attraction will be her." He points at me. Murmuring goes through the crowd. (Fat yeti boss) "Yes, you saw right: the enemy of every living thing, one of the people who took the green from us, a member of the race who changed this world into an ice sarcophagus, the race who is responsible for mushroom day. A winter spirit." A gasp goes through the audience. (Fat yeti boss) "Today I''ll take revenge for a part what they have done to us. She will be nothing more than a dish to a wolf. When she is nearly destroyed I''ll stop to do the same tomorrow and the day after tomorrow again.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. I''ll make the one who made us slaves a slave." *murmuring* (Fat yeti boss) "You ask how it¡¯s possible to make this little fly mine?" His deep knowing laughter follows. (Fat yeti boss) "I''ll show you!" The audience is cheering. His big menacing grin goes through the people and stops at me. (Fat Yeti boss, whispering) "You''ll be my 53 wife at the end of this evening." My knees shake. Despair reflects in my eyes. (Fat yeti boss) "I''ll show you what you can look forward to." He turns to a puppet like woman. (Fat yeti boss) "Before the main coarse feast your eyes on this composition." With these words the fat monkey boss reaches for a cage with the fragile looking, porcelain like, moving puppet in it. The puppet like woman presses her body against the hind bars. With fire in his eyes he reaches for the door and with one fast movement the beast tears the door out of the angles. He throws it behind himself. The crowd cheers His big paw grabs the little hand and pulls the puppet out. A cry escapes her lips. Her face shows panic. The eyes of the carnivore meet hers. She knows that she cannot run. She struggles but he forces her under his fat limbs. She fights under the bulging masses. But fat sausage fingers grab her vest and tear the first layer of clothes from her body. Tears run over her face. He breathes heavily. Whimpering answers him. He bows down. His teeth bite into her bra and he tears the clothing away. Cheering (Crowd) "Big fat yeti boss! You are our man!" The chorus sings Hallelujah Two porcelain breasts become visible. He pins her down with one hand to the throat. The cries choke. The second hand reaches for her skirt. Suddenly the audience becomes quiet. The boss stops in the middle of his movement. (Big fat yeti boss, whispers between his lips) "Who dares to disturb my creative flow?" In one of the last seats someone cries: (Last seat) "Fairy, fairy, funky, funky, funky" He glares in my direction but I cower (a bit aroused) in the corner of my prison. An innocent expression greets his. My eyes wander to the entry of the arena ground/bedroom. Two figures appeared. They are only ~20cm big. The arrogant one has red hair and a pipe in her mouth. The littler, bald one has a mustache and quarrels with his staff. The arena is quiet. A *hic* *hic* is audible. The ginger fairy puts a voice box to her throat. Her expression pretends that she can handle the situation but her hiccup betrays her face.
