Scratching at her wrist, trying to get the residue of the spell off her, Faewyn looked around, realizing she was alone.. in a new place. A new land. A new time. Unsure of how to begin her journey, she called for her wand to guide her.
With her wand by her side, she began casting a spell to show her the way.
The runes that appeared were amazing, it seemed as if.. As if they could speak to her!
?: "Faewyn.... go. Go to the library... You will find what you need..."
Confused and startled, she did as she was told and hopped onto her broom. When she got on it, she realized she had no idea where the library was! However, her broom started to hum with energy, and propelled her forward... presumably towards the library.
In awe, she entered the building that was filled to the brim with untold knowledge and secrets. She cracked open a book that would teach her of the flora that was in this land. Where to find the seeds of these plants, what kind of conditions they need, and how long they took to grow; in essence, a book on the basics of gardening.
Halfway into the book, Faewyn’s wand began to grow warm.. very warm.. in fact, it was hot! Pulling it out, hoping she did not burn herself, she flicked it...
...And was amazed by what she saw. Tiny plumbobs were floating in the air. Humming, as if they were trying to talk to her. Until they did, that is.
?: "A man approaches.. hesitant to enter. Go to him, Faewyn. Show him your love of the outdoors..."
Worried, she opened the door to find a man standing outside the library. She gasped. He looked so similar.. to.. she ignored the thought and waved at him, and was pleased when he smiled at her. Taking that as her cue, she approached him.
Man: "Nice to meet ‘cha, Miss....?"
Faewyn smiled and pulled out her wand. When the man jumped back, she made a face that most associate with giggling, and spelled her name out with the glowing trail that was left behind her wand.
Man: "Fae-win. Faewin. Faewyn? Faewyn! Well, "Faewyn", it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Gladsten. Gladsten Farmwell. What a beautiful day.. almost comparable to you."
Giving Gladsten a nod, Faewyn picked a flower and smelled it, happy someone else shared her love for nature.
Night was quickly on them, and the stars shined bright like diamonds in the sky. Faewyn pointed to one and sighed, thinking her home might be out there.. Gladsten, on the other hand, took it to mean something else.
Gladsten: "Those stars sure are pretty, shining like that... sort of how you shine."
With a sad smile, she pushed him playfully and grabbed his hand to lead him to the library. Hours passed while Gladsten talked and Faewyn listened, speaking of his hopes and fears, becoming closer to Faewyn, becoming more aware of her silent beauty.
Leaning on a bookcase she stared into his eyes, tempting him. Until neither of them could stand it! Their lips met and sparks flew.
They looked into one another’s eyes, frozen in that perfect moment.. until a grumblin’ of the tummin’ interrupted their romantic moment.
Gladsten: "Ha.. Ha.. I think that was me. Need to get me some food, ya’ know? We’ll talk soon."
Leaning on a bookshelf emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted, Faewyn knew she needed some rest. She found a map that showed a place with public toilets, showers, and beds. A “firehouse”... wary, she decided to head there. Once she arrived, she was relieved that the house was not on fire, but seemed to be a place where people fought fires. After a quick, and eco-friendly, shower she had some cereal and took care of her other needs before settling into bed.
Dreams of marriage... of her parents... of their death... She woke up with sweat covering her forehead and her blanket on the floor. Shaking, she got up and quickly made her way to the restroom.
After a quick meal of soup, she went out to a community garden she saw on the map to gather some vegetables for her soon to be garden.
While there, Faewyn received a text from Gladsten asking if she wanted to go to the Summer Festival. She quickly responded with a "YES!!!" and immediately left for the festival. When she got there, and saw him in his uniform, all she could think about was him.
With a kiss, or two, they became a couple.
Gladsten: “I'm.. I'm so happy I found you. You are better than any fairy that I might or might not have been with!”
Looking at him oddly, Faewyn quickly shook it off, and got down on one knee...
… And showed her love for him with a ring. They exchanged their rings and soon devoted their lives to one another...
Gladsten: "
Until death do us part..."
Gladsten: "This is where you... Where we live?"
Faewyn: -jumping up and down with joy-
