Fae Isle 1
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The old, treasure chest lay exposed when the storm retreated.

The ship was in shambles. Only two of the crew survived. Captain Faelyn Babe and her fairy friend, Glitter surveyed the chest's contents. Glitter said, "Take the gold!" Faelyn took as much of it as she could put into the sack. She tied it up. Glitter sprinked her fairy dust onto the bag, to make it lighter to carry. Faelyn took the sack with her. She couldn't take anything else today. Faelyn would have to come back. She and Glitter explored the isle known as Faerie Isle 1. Glitter knew this place well. She went here for her vacations, if not to other Fae isles. Faelyn noticed the ocean looked normal; it was blue. The sands on the beach however, were lavender! The vegetation was black, but it wasn't charred. It natually grew this way. The Black Jungle was home to so many creatues. Glitter listened to something. She said, "Manticore." Faelyn asked, "How do you know, Glitter?" Glitter said, "He sounds like he's playing a flute and a trumpet at the same time. We will stay away from him!" The next creature made its sound. Glitter said, "Black Jungle Elf." Faelin asked, "A Black Jungle Elf?" Suddenly, an elfin creature appeared. She had gold skin, black hair, and black eyes which casted tan glows at night. The elf weaved a skirt out of leaves. Her top was sleeveless and made of exotic flower petals of the Black Jungle. Glitter attempted to speak the elf's language. She succeeded; the elf brought a net with her. She enchanted it; the bottom was more like a bag. The elf retrieved the rest of the stuff in the treasure chest that was on the beach. All the while, Faelyn constructed a hut out of wood. She did ask the tree spirits to move to different trees first before building. The spirits did not cause problems. Glitter was pleased Faelyn knew this much about spirit ediquette! Most humans did not. Faelyn waited for Glitter to collect fruits. The fairy brought back every fruit she could find. Fresh water was collected by Faelyn in streams and waterfalls by rivers. Glitter talked to the fairies of this island. They brought her and Faelyn spears, bows n' arrows, and blow darts. Faelyn knew how to use these. The fairies flew away since they didn't have to teach her. Glitter told Faelyn which creatures to hunt and which ones not to. Faelyn hunted approved creatures only. Glitter spoke to the Sprites__shy creatures who blushed easily. They had antennas on their heads, humanoid bodies and big eyes. Sprites were either naked or they dressed a little like elves. They did not wear shirts of flower petals, though. Sprites wore bark tunics and leafy skirts. Like the elves, they walked barefoot. Faelyn held a sprite in her right hand; with her left hand, she pinched his cheeks. The sprite smiled; he didn't say anything. It was polite to just accept he was cute. Faelyn put the Sprite onto the ground. He walked away and told his friends he got tweaked by a human girl! They said humans loved pinching Sprites, Elves, and Fairies on the cheeks. Faelyn did this for as long as she and Glitter were on Fae Isle 1. One day, a new ship appeared. Even though it was a ghost ship, Faelyn claimed it! It was in better condition than the shipwreck that was her old ship, the Fairy. This s ship was named Fairy 2. Fairy 2's spirit approved of Faelyn and Glitter. It got the two of them home. Their home was a realm called Faeendor.
