The Magical Land- Children Series

In love with a pixie

He saw her plummet to the water like a fallen star
and fought the scream that rose up his throat.

He glanced once toward his brother knowing every
second spent meant Sugar's life. He couldn't risk
losing her again. Delving deep in to the swirling
water he searched for her little body in the
unusually darkened water. He could hear the beating
of her heart in his own and knew he had to find her
or she would die.

Blumar's mind took him to a sunny afternoon when
he and his twin brother Seamar were playing conchball.

"Go far, Blu. That's it.Let's see how good you are."

"Let it rip!" he called out laughing. He somersaulted
in the water and nearly caught it if it wasn't for the
slippery rock that got on his way. The ball delve into
the nearby grassy river bank. "Way to go, Sea!"

"Well,go get it,loser!" laughed Seamar

"Oh, sure. I'll just grow legs and fetch the ball!"

Just the he heard the most beautiful voice. Even more
beautiful than any mergirl in all the sea. Moving
closer to the shore he could see her beautiful
feautures break into a smile as she sat amisdt the
flowers and the butterflies. She was singing of a love
she had not found.

Her eyes were violet.Her long hair the shade of
bluesomeberries sparkle in the sun. Her pouty lips
parted to reveal a perfect row of pearly teeth.
She was breathtaking.

"What are you staring at?" Seamar asked
looking over his shoulder.

"SHH. You're gonna scare her away." he motioned for
them to move closer in the rising tide. "Isn't she
beautiful." he turned to look at his brother.

His mouth was gaping open and his eyes had a peculiar
shine to them. Seamar seldomly blushed but a hint of
rosiness was creeping up his cheeks.

"Blumar.." he sighed

"Don't even think about it. She's mine. I saw her
first. The rules are the rules and even you can't
break them this time." He prepared to take the potion
that was contained in a seashell shaped glass around
his neck. He had be waiting a long time for this
moment and the instant love he felt for the little
faery was worth giving up his tail.

A splash crashed behind him and he gaped as his
brother floated up in mid air bursting in golden
color. Instead of his golden fin he now had a pair
of sturdy legs and wings. He flew overhead unaware
of his brother's heartbreak.

Blumar closed the potion and stared while his brother
picked a flower and knelt in front of the faery. Her
eyes shone in admiration as she kissed his cheek.

He felt anger take over his heart and he bowed he
would get his revenge. Turning in the water water
splashed high and sprayed the lovestruck couple.

"What was that?" asked Sugar Plum

"That's just my brother.He gets a little jealous
sometimes. He's the greatest though."

Shame invaded Blumar at his brother's words.Perhaps
she wasn't meant for him after all.

***********************************************

Something flashed in the water not too far. Blumar
swam with all his stregth and caught her little hand
and his. Pulling her up to the surface was not an
easy task. When they broke through the surface she
was coughing up water.

He dragged her out to the river bank and breathed in
to her mouth. At last she took a deep breath and
opened her eyes. Her violet eyes stared at him before
she fainted. He took the potion in his little hand
and swallowed the potion in one motion.

Blumar woke up to a pair of violet eyes. He didn't
dare talk as she reach a hand to touch his face.

"Blumar. You have legs." her quiet words sat him up
to stare in wonder.

"Wow." he couldn't believe it "Sugar. I did it for
you. "

"Why, Blumar. You know I feel about you. You are like
a brother to me. And I.." She bit her lip "I'm in love
with Dandelion"

"But I saw you first!" his heart was breaking

"Your name. You have a new name." she knelt in front
of him and peeked behind his now pointy ear. "Indigo."
"Your new name is Indigo. You must never use your old
name or you may lose your wings."

His remained silent. He had given up his fins for
her and his crown as Prince of the Sea. Still her
love for his brother was stronger. He had to accept
fate. Now more than ever he had to find the others
and ask the Queen if he could turn back to his usual
self. He had to try.

"How about it,Sis. Are you ready too teach me how
to use this!" he asked cheerfully

"Oh, Indigo! I love you." she gave him a smacking
kiss. "Now, stand up straight and throw your shoulders
back. Point your ears skyward and here we GO!"

They flew hand in hand fighting the wind. They could
see Cyclos shining in the distance like a star leading
the way.

"Thanks for saving my life, Indigo." said Sugar

"Anytime." said Indigo

'No regrets' he thought. Someday he would find a love
of his own.
