"You were brought to earth for your safety,but i have been sent to take you back to where you belong. We have to find the sceptre of light. That can help to overcome your uncle" Stephanie narrated.

"You're kidding me right? Someone should pinch me let me wake up from this deep slumber" Derrick said as he held his head.

Leo smiled and pinched him.

"Ouch! I didn't say you should really pinch me. Am i awake?" He asked.

"Stop being a jerk and keep quiet" Kelvin said.

"Sorry" Derrick said as he smiled.

"I don't understand. I'm not a fairy. I don't have wings" Lillian said.

"You do, you just have to summon it. I am a water fairy and you are a passion fairy,

"What's a passion fairy?" Lillian asked.

"A Passion fairy is one of the most powerful species in Zodar. The power of a passion fairy comes with his or her emotions.

When a passion fairy is angry, every living thing and climax conditions reaction to it. Same with when you are happy or sad. There lies your powers" Stephanie said.

Lillian looks surprised as she remembers the withering flowers, the sky and the trees reaction to her anger and the day she got angry when they were beating the old woman.

"Can you change into a fairy?" Leo asked Stephanie.

"All my powers were taken from me by your uncle. But i'm sure you might be able to restore it" She said as she stood up.

"So you girls are fairies?" Kelvin asked.

"Yes, come on Lillian, or should i say Keira" she said as she helped Lillian up.

She stood up and looked at Stephanie.

"Close your eyes and find your inner being. Its inside you. Be calm and focus. It will show itself" Stephanie said as Lillian closed her eyes.

Her body shine as she was three feet off the ground. The sky turned gray as Lillian's power built up in her.

Her wings grew out and her clothes changed. Her eyes widened as more power was restored.

After the transformation, she came down to the ground and opened her eyes.

"Your wings are beautiful" Tina said as she looked at them.

"You look more beautiful Lillian" Kelvin said as he admired her.

"She's not that bad" Leo commented.

"Gorgeous" Derrick said.

Lillian looked at Stephanie and stretched her hands towards her.

Suddenly, Stephanie's wings grew back and all her powers were restored evenly.

"I knew you had it in you. Thank you" she said as she hugged Lillian.

"So what are we gonna do next? Make a first and roast a marshmallow?" Leo asked.

"Just be quiet for once. You could sleep at my place Lillian, i'd be happy to have you in" Kelvin said.

"Thanks Kelvin" Lillian said as she hugged him.

"I.....i guess you're welcome" He said as he slowly wrapped his arms around Lillian.

"Let's get going then" Stephanie said as she transformers back to human. Lillian also did the same.

They entered the car and left for Callisto's mansion. They got there and the green deviled left shortly with Lillian to Kelvin's house.

They got to Kelvin's house and Leo and Derrick left shortly after. Everywhere seemed quiet as they made their way to Kelvin's room.


CHAPTER TWENTY


THE ENDERSON'S MANSION

"Your room is very beautiful" Lillian commented as she looked around the room.

"Thanks" he said.

"Where are your parents? And why is everywhere so quiet?"

"My mum doesn't live here, and my father is always on business trip"

"How can only you live here?"

"I got servants around so its not usually quiet at times. Derrick and Louis always comes to spend time with me so i can say i don't get that lonely" He said as he opened the curtains.

"I'll be right back" Kelvin said as he left the room.

He went to the room close to his and arranged it. Done with it, he came back to his room.

"Your room is ready Lillian. Are you hungry?" He asked her.

"No, I've eaten already. If you don't mind, I'd love to stay here a little while" she said as she sat on the bed.

"I don't". He said as he sat on the bed as well.

"Lillian,i wanna tell you something" Kelvin said as Lillian looked at his balcony.

"Oh! She said as she stood up and made way for the balcony.

She came outside and looked out. The view was clear up from where she stood.

"Its quite beautiful up here" She said as Kelvin came to meet her in the balcony.

"I guess it is. There's something i really wanna tell you".

"Oh! what is it?" She said as she turned to meet his gaze.

"I dunno how you'll react to what I'm about to say but my heart yearns to tell you.

"Every day, i think back to the day we met close to the river. Sometimes, i even think that meeting you was the greatest gift fate had given me. Since then, I've thought about you and admired you greatly.

"Priya left me and I'm so grateful to her for that. If she hadn't, I wouldn't have met you Lillian. I've never felt this way for anyone before.

"Lillian, the words are so hard to say, despite the fact that i yearn to tell you" Kelvin said as he bowed his head.

"You could tell me Kelvin. What is it that you find it hard to say" she asked.

"Lillian, I love you" he said as he gazed into her eyes.

"I dunno if you also feel that way towards me but I'll always be there for you beautiful, because i love you" he said as he took her hand and kissed it.

"Kelvin" she said as she touched his cheek.

Kelvin held her hand as it touched his cheek and close his eyes.

"I feel that way towards you Kelvin. If its love then i guess ill have to accept it.

"I tried to get rid of this feeling but i couldn't. You are always on my mind and i feel so content when you are around me

"Kelvin, i love you, i love you so much that I wanna be with you" she said as Kelvin stared at her, surprised.

"Thanks Lillian, you don't know how that meant to me" he said as he came closer.

He leaned and picked a flower which was growing in a pot on the rail.

"You are as beautiful as this dandilion. Your beauty challenges me" He said as he kept down, holding her hand.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He said with so much hope in his eyes.

"Kelvin, i don't........."

"It'll mean so much to me Lillian if you accept to be" he said as he looked in her eyes.

"Yes Kelvin, I'd love to" Lillian said as she drew him up and hugged him.

"Thanks for coming into my life. I love you so much" He said as he hugged her tight.

"I love you too" she said as she smiled.


🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

The sun shone as another day was dawned. Lillian woke up in Kelvin's arms. She smiled as she kissed his forehead and carefully got up, not wanting to wake him.

She left the room and walked down the stairs.

"Good evening ma'am" a lady greeted.

"Good morning. Could you point me to the direction of the kitchen? I wanna prepare breakfast" Lillian said.

"No worries madam, I'll prepare the food" she said.

"Please don't, i wanna cook for him today" Lillian said.

"Ok ma, follow me" she said as she left the way to the kitchen.

"I'm Lillian, what's your name?" She asked.

"Im Flora" she said as they entered the kitchen.

"If you don't mind, what is Kelvin's favourite?" She asked.

"Fried eggs with banana pudding" she answered

"That's exactly what in gonna prepare for breakfast" She said as she bought out the pot from the cabin.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Kelvin woke up and stood up. He looked around but couldn't find her.

"Where is she?" He asked with a worried expression

He climbed down the stairs and called out for Lillian.

"Im in the kitchen" Lillian shouted.

Kelvin came to the kitchen and looked around.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he came close.

"I'm making breakfast. Go freshen up, you won't wanna be late for college". she said.

"No, I'm not going to college today" he said.

"Why?" She asked as she looked at him.

"Wanna spend some time with you" He said as he held her hand.

"Stop being childish and go get ready. The guys will come soon to pick you. You wouldn't wanna keep them waiting" she said as she chopped the onions.

"Whatever you say" he said as he kissed her on the cheek.

He got ready and came down to eat.

The main door opened as Louis and Derrick were arguing.

"Fried potatoes are better" Louis said.

"No, tea and sandwiches are better" Derrick said.

"You don't wanna argue with me" Leo said as he stood in the living room.

"What am i doing now?. Oh! Xup Kev" Derrick said.

"Well i don't argue with cowards so i wont argue with you anymore" Leo said as he turned away from Derrick.

"At least, i have brains" Derrick said as he faced the other way.

"Guys, enough with the arguments. Care to join me at the table?" Kelvin asked.

"Sure thing" they said as Lillian bought the food.

"She made breakfast?" Leo asked as he sat down.

"Yeah, come on Lillian, have breakfast with us" Kelvin said as he held her hand.

She sat down and fished her food.

"This food is nuts. I haven't eaten this food in centuries" Derrick said as he rushed the food.

"Yeah" Leo said as he raised the plate up and drank all the banana pudding.

Lillian laughed as she looked at them.

"Weird dudes right?" They can be quite foolish at times. He said as he watched Derrick and Leo dragging the last plate of banana pudding.

The main door opened as Stephanie and Tina walked in.


CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE


ENDERSON'S MANSION

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Tina asked as they walked towards them.

Seeing the both of them coming, Leo and Derrick used their hands to clean their mouths.

"Hey Stephanie" Leo said as he stood up.

"Good morning" she greeted.

Leo drew out a chair for her and she sat down.

He took a plate and served some food.

"I hope you are hungry because this food takes good" Leo said as he sat down.

"I'm full. Can't eat again" she said.

"At least taste it" he smiled.

"Nah, dun wanna" she said.

"I gave her food, she said she doesn't wanna eat. No problem baby, I'll do the honour of eating your food" He said as he ate.

"Tina, have a seat" Derrick said as he drew out a seat

"Thanks Derrick" she said as she sat down.

He also served her food and was about to give her when he sneezed.

"I hope you enjoy the........ A..tchew" he said as he sneezed.

"Its very delicious.......a..tchew" he said as catarrh dropped from his nose.

"Yuk, I'm not eating that food" Tina said.

"Ok, I'll eat it for you" he said as he sneezed again.

They talked about school stuff and left the dining after they were done.

"I'll be going with Lillian to Zodar today, and we might or might not come back" she said as she picked up her bag.

"What's Zodar again?" Leo asked as he scratched his hair.

"Don't ask me, all i know is that its a magic thinnie" he said as he looked at Stephanie.

"But when are you girls gonna come back?" Kelvin asked.

"I dunno if we might but if we do, we will" she said.

"I wanna go with you girls. Life's boring here and i wanna stay with Lillian" Kelvin said.

"Me too" Tina said.

"Its too dangerous for you humans. I can't let you go. I'm sorry" she said.

"Please Stephanie" Tina begged.

"Ok, I'll let you come, but please, don't tell anyone about this in college. Its risky" she said.

"What about you guys, aren't you coming?" Tina asked Derrick and Leo

"You want me to die? No way I'm going there" Leo said as he folded his hands.

"If Kelvin is going, then i am going to" Derrick said as he smiled.

"Ok fine! I'm coming too" Leo said as he forced out a smile.

"This is gonna be dangerous guys. I dun want any of you to get hurt. But if you guys really wanna come, then I'm not gonna stop you. The more, the merrier" she said

"Ok, let's get going then". Derrick said as he carried his bag.

"Ok". Kelvin said and came close to Lillian, held her hand and kissed her.

He turned and met everyone staring at him. Leo and Derrick opened their mouths while Stephanie and Tina smiled.

"What?" Kelvin asked.

"Didn't see that coming" Derrick said as he touched his head.

"Oh! I see. Well done Kelvin" Stephanie said as she winked at him.

"When is the wedding? I hope there is enough food?" Leo said as he licked his mouth.

"Yeah, and wine too" Derrick said as he looked dreamingly.

"Stop it guys. Flora" he called

"Yes sir" Flora said as she ran from where she was to Kelvin.

"Take care of her and don't let her out of your sight" Kelvin instructed.

"Ok sir" she said.

With that, they left the house and headed for the car.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

It was recess and Stephanie sat with Tina at the cafeteria. She appears to be thinking

"What's wrong Tina? You appear to be worried.

"Going to Zodar with the guys and you might be dangerous. I just don't know what will happen if you guys come with me and Lillian" she said as she dialed with her food.

"We wanna help Lillian, that's what friends and sisters do. Trust me, we will all be fine" She said as she pasted Stephanie's back.

"I hope so" she said.

"Haven't you noticed Leo and Derrick's behavior towards us?" Stephanie asked.

"Yeah, those guys are weird" she said as she laughed.

"Weirdo, they are so crazy" Stephanie said.

"We just have to put up with them for a while" Tina said as she ate.

Meanwhile, Leo was seen outside college in a florist shop.

"You have any flowers that rhymes with Stephanie?" He asked.

"What is Stephanie?" The florist asked.

"She's my crush. Now gibeyme a flower called Stephanie" he ordered.

"I'm sorry sir,but that flower doesn't exist" The florist said.

"But the girl exists, why not the flower?"

"I don't understand you sir. There is no flower named Stephanie"

"Are you saying i don't know flowers?" Leo asked.

"No sir, i just said Stephanie flower don't exist" the florist answered.

"Ok then, give me the yellow flower" he said.

He bought it and made his way into college.

Meanwhile, Derrick also went out of college to purchase chocolates for Tina.

"Excuse me Miss" he called out to the woman selling chocolates.

"Which one would Tina like?" He asked.

"Who is Tina?" She asked.

"She is a girl schooling in that college. Which one will she like?"

"I don't know the girl so i can't choose for you"

"Hmm, ok, give me that one" he pointed.

He bought it and also made his way to college.

They passed the opposite sides leading to the school and in the process, collided with each other.

The chocolates both stained their faces and the flowers were glued to their heads and they stood up.

"Watch where you're going. You've ruined the chocolates" Derrick said as he folded his hands.

"You watch where you're going. You've ruined my flowers". He said

"At least the gift is still alive, but its on my body" Derrick said as he entered the cafeteria.

"Hey babes" he called.

"Derrick? What happened to you?" Tina asked.

"Its a gift for ma lady. Flowers mixed with chocolates. Don't i look sweet?" He asked.

"Oh brother!" Stephanie said as she shakes her head.

"Hey Stephanie, like ma new look?" Leo said as he sat down

"Don't touch me" she said as she shifted.

"Why dont you want me to? Oh! I know why, you wanna save the gift for christmas, am i right?" He asked.

"Just keep your mouth shut" Lillian said.

Kelvin came in shortly and sat down to eat.

"What happened to you guys? Kelvin asked as he looked at the green devils.

"It's just a new look" Leo said as Kelvin sighed.

"So what exactly are we gonna do in Zodar?" Kelvin asked.

"The Sceptre of light magic. It was believed to be hidden underneath Zodar, due east, into the waters and under the zoo of the dead" Stephanie said as she ate.

"Oh brother!, what have i gotten myself into?" Leo said, looking scared.


🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

They finished all their classes and made way to their respective homes.

They agreed to meet at Kelvin's house by 8.

Tina and Stephanie got ready for the journey ahead. Night came and they wanted to leave for Kelvin's house.

"How are we gonna go now?" Tina asked.

"Hold me. Since I've got ma powers back, we're gonna use a portal. So hold on tight" She said as she used her powers to summon a portal, and they went in, appearing in Kelvin's house.

Derrick and Leo also sneaked from their homes and came to Kelvin's house.

Are we all complete now?" Stephanie asked.

"Yes" Tina said.

"Now join hands. We are about to go. Close your eyes and try not to think of anything" She said as all of them did as she said.

Suddenly, they flashed high up as light shone everywhere. The next thing they saw as they opened their eyes was undescribable as they found themselves in a new world.



CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO


"Wow! Zodar is beautiful" Lillian said as she admired the new world, her home.

"Wow, this all looks real" Can't believe it" Kelvin said as he also looked around.

"This place is amazing!" Leo said as he looked around

"This place is indescribable" Derrick said.

"Wow!" Tina exclaimed.

Stephanie transformed back to her fairy self again.

"You should also transform Lillian, now for you four" she said as she thought.

"We'll have to get you guys wings. I know a flarie who could spare you some" She said

"Let's get this straight. You want me, i mean us to get wings. Are you kidding me? I'm scared of heights" Leo said.

"Then you gotta get over it cos the rest of your journey will be on air" Stephanie said as she flew up.

"Come on guys. Get walking" Stephanie said.

Stephanie led the way while the others followed. Lillian flying, while the rest walking.

They got to the kingdom of light and stopped.

"You guys can't go in as humans" they might capture you" Stephanie said as they all hid behind a bush, hiding from the soldier fairies.

"So what are we gonna do now?" Derrick asked.

"I have an idea, we could go back home and pretend that all this never happened. Nice and simple" Leo said as he smiled.

The rest looked at him.

"What? It was just a suggestion" he said as he looked at the soldier fairies.

"I have a plan". She said as she explained the plan to them.

"Nah, there's no way I'm dressing like a fairy" Derrick said as he folded his arms.

"You have any other idea?" Stephanie asked.

Derrick scratched his head. "No".

"Then you have no choice but to follow my plan" She said.

Lillian used her magic to make them make believe wings.

"Will this day get any worse. I look like a girl" Leo said as he looked at the wings behind him.

"Aren't i beautiful? doesn't this wings bring out my handsomeness? Derrick asked Kelvin.

"Just keep quiet" Kelvin said.

"We'll go in two by two" Stephanie said.

Tina and Stephanie went first.

"You may pass" they said as they went in and hid behind a tree, waiting for the rest.

Lillian and Kelvin went next. "You may pass" the soldier fairies said as they made way for them.

Leo and Derrick went next. "Stop" The soldier fairy ordered.

"What is that in your pocket?"The soldier asked Derrick. Derrick felt his pockets.

"Oh! My chocolate" Derrick said as he took it and opened it.

"Want some?" Derrick asked, waving the chocolate at the soldier fairy face.

"I rather not. You may pass" he said.

They all met at the tree and continued their journey. They met all kinds of fairies and different animals alike.

They made it to the flairie's house.

Stephanie knocked and the flairie opened the door.

She came out. "Hi Minya" Stephanie greeted.

"Stephanie, where have you been?" She said as she hugged her.

"I'll explain better later. May we come in?" Stephanie asked.

"Sure" she said as she opened her door for everyone to enter.

"Nice house" Tina complemented.

"The house is so tiny. How do you manage in here?" Derrick said as he looked around.

"It's ma home. Have a seat" The flairie said, pointing to the ground

Everyone sat down except Leo.

"On the ground? I don't sit on the ground. I prefer a chair" Leo said.

"Leo" Stephanie said as she gave Leo a warning look.

"Alright I'm sitting down. See?" He said as he sat down.

"Where have you been Stephanie and who are these people?" Minya asked.

With that, Stephanie narrated all that happened.

"She is Keira, the daughter of King Raxildo" Stephanie said as she touched Lillian's hand.

"Your highness" She said.

"No, just call me by my name please. Could you help my friends with wings?" Lillian asked.

"Sure. I have some to spare". she said as she stood up and opened a box.
