I'm feeling faerie blue today....Etsy Treasury FAE Team

The Blue Fairy

It was that time of dawn, when the sun was yet to rise and the earth was covered in mist and the faint blue light. It was cold out there, near the hills of my home inside the forest. The grass was moist with dew and no sound was heard around, except the rustling of the leaves and the crisp air.

It was one of those glorious mornings veiled in the cloak of mystery that implores you to explore for unknown treasuries.

 I felt like a child that believed in the bed time stories and finally free to search them out for real. All were asleep, warm and cosy on their beds. I went to the kitchen to make myself some tea to me warm.

I was in the kitchen when I caught a glimpse of something moving in our back yard. I rushed to the window and looked around but could not see a thing. The lazy blue light was spread around and the darkness mimicked my glances. I was not sure, but I thought I saw a child moving around the garden . I though she hid as soon as she saw me.

I grabbed my jacket and bundled up; the torch was near the door. I rushed outside but no one was there. My own garden seemed an entirely unknown terrain in the early morning light. The shadows changed the landscape and added new features that changed I had never seen before.

I illuminated my yard with the torch and found nothing unusual. Then I looked across the street. A t first I thought she was a neighborhood girl but my misconception was soon shattered. The beautiful transparent glistening wings on her shoulders reflected the bluish light. We looked at each others eye for a split second and then she fluttered her wings magically and flew away.

I rushed towards the fence but could not find a trace of this beautiful winged creature as she had simply disappeared leaving pixie dust behind. I turned around and was heading back inside when I saw a beautiful object lying on the ground beneath the poppy flowers. It was a beautiful soap sculpture of the fairy  that I just saw. Thanks to the blue fairy, now I know that there are things on this earth that are still magical.
