Song: Native American Shamanic Music Mix by Morpheus

Azurite's POV:

The blow knocked me off my feet. I felt my chest cave in, this pain I have never witnessed before. I barely open my eyelids to see Jade snatch the pouch that is only mere inches in front of me. I watch as she flies off and I know I can't let her get by with this. Rowan is hurt and so I take off after them but Thristle's tail knocks the fairy dust off of me and I tumble even farther into the cave.

I try to shake off the pain and go after them only I'm disoriented and out of haste I fly into the falling water. The water gives me one heck of a beating and I feel my wings getting all out of sorts, tearing apart like they are made from spider's web. I push through and the moment through the water the sun blinds me, burning into my soul. I start to fall downward into a spiral.

I try to focus on where I am going and all I see is a massive blue blur under me. I keep trying to fly upward but nothing works I am going down. Water surrounds my body and it's nothing like the wetness of Shimmering Falls. Something is not right...something is very wrong. The second my body hits my lungs give out, pain radiates throughout my whole being.

But then something is holding me; I am being carried. I feel wet lips on mine and I know something is for sure not right because in Orestes this is forbidden. Whatever this thing is, is making my lungs work, making my insides rise up and down with each breath and then I start coughing up water.

My eyes flutter open and the bright object in the sky hurts my every being. I try to look at who is touching me and all I can see is this dark shadowy figure.I'm not sure how long I am out the second time but I hear a commotion going on nearby. I look around a little frightened because not only am I practically blinded by my surroundings from the sun; I am tingling all over and feel really awkward. I know I am not in Orestes and I have no idea how to get back. I do however know that I need to get out of wherever I am.

I start to talk to myself out loud and these beings stare at me in confusion. I have a really weird feeling that I should not be here; I hurriedly jump up and take off in a sprint towards the waterfall. I stretch my arms out and push off and to my surprise I fall with a hard splash right into the water. What the fiddlesticks where are my wings, what???

This can't be happening. Did they take them these beings with no wings did they take my wings. I don't have time to think because those arms that grabbed me earlier are back around my fragile body and is carrying me out all over again.This time I will not let him take me. I have no idea what they will do to me. I start to panic. I start yelling at him and trying to hit him and he is talking back at me and I am having a difficult time understanding what he is saying. I'm not really sure what happens but I feel dizzy and there is suddenly darkness all around me.

I am dreaming of Jade and Scolecite is there too. I see her with the Painite and they are all celebrating the grand victory. I fight to get back to them in time; I fight to see him but something is pulling us farther and farther away. My whole body rocks back and forth and if I wasn't being held so closely to a rock solid body I would fall. I let him caress mebbut for some reason I think it is Scolecite, I keep dreaming back to the time we sat out above the trees watching the million of lights up in the sky. I loved those nights with him even though we so wanted so much more. On the inside I would beg for him to kiss me but I knew the trees would tell the Great Malachite and we would be in so much trouble. For we both knew that it was forbidden to touch lips.

And then suddenly my memory jumps around and I imagine this being in this land with his lips on mine. I can still feel the sweet wetness and the heat coming from his body. I feel his air going inside of my body and I know this is not right but I would be lying if I said that a part of me didn't like it.

I feel the movement stop and arms hold me and my body is being carried off. I try to pry my eyelids open to see what is going on. But the sun, the sun in not in my favor. The being is softly laying me down and softness surrounds me almost like the moss fields but a little softer. It feels so comfortable that I fall back to sleep.

Hours later I wake and hear them in the distance. I listen closely trying to make out what they are saying. Lucky for fairies we catch on rather quickly to any language and in no time I figure out what they are talking about they are talking to someone about me. Wondering what they should do with me. I slowly stand up and look around the room. It's rather dark in here now but I can see everything as if it was day. I stand on my feet and tiptoe closer to the opening. Slowly I push back the cover and glance out just enough to see what is going on. They are all sitting around this reddish yellowish glow and it looks hot. I try to look to see what they are doing but the light from the vastness in the middle of them hurts my eyes.

They all get quite and that is when I notice this being is looking straight back at me. I hurriedly close the cover and go back over to the thing I was sleeping on. I curl up and start to cry; what have I done? Where the fiddlesticks am I?I feel something touch my arm and I peek out to see deep coco eyes looking back at me.

I take in his eyes and then gradually look at his strong jaw line and his straight jet black hair. His body is rock solid and smooth as can be and has this dark bronzed glow to it, nothing like the fairness of our skin back in Orestes. And what the fiddlesticks look at his arms. I have never seen anything like it before. They are so big and and almost like mountains. I want to reach out and touch him to see if he is really there and my insides say not to do it but something comes over me and I reach out and touch him.

The fairies back in Orestes are all thin and lanky it's just the way we are all built. But this is...is...wow. I find myself touching all over his body. I run my hands all the way down his arm and stop and caress a few times just to understand this being. I want to touch more of him, so I reach up and touch his face and feel the bottom of jaw line. His structure is amazing. I go on to touch his hair and the feeling is nothing like my hair. That is when I stopbbecause he is staring right back into my eyes.

"I'm Silver; who are you?" His voice is softly spoken...but with a deep undertone.

"Za...Za...I...I Azurite." I stubble for words because I can't seem to concentrate all of a sudden with that look he is giving me.

"Za-I-azurite?" He tries to say my name.

I shake my head and smile back at him. "No...Azurite." I correct him with a smirk.

"May I ask why were you trying to kill yourself?"

Kill myself why would I do that; why would he think that. And then I remembered oh yeah, I was falling to my death. I shake my head again. "No...I don't know what happened. Where am I?"

He looks at me all confused. "You are at the Reservation. We are far from the city so we had to bring you back here. Where do you live?"

I do not know these words Reservation, City what. "Orestes."

"I have never heard of that place. Where is that?"

"In Orestes." I say again.

He looks down and shakes his head. "I will ask the Chief...he should be able to help you." He looks down and then back up at me. "How is it that your eyes are that color?" His hand graces the side of my face, very close to my eyes and my body quivers by the sensation of his touch along my skin. He guides a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I have never seen eyes that practically glow like that."

"Eyes...color...what do you mean?"

"They look like they are glowing...like glow sticks...like you are not from here. Are you an alien?"

"A-lien...what is that?"

He starts to laugh. "An alien...you know from outer space."

"Outer space." I give him a look. "Alien. No...I...I...I'm just me. By the way where are my wings? Did you take them from me?"

He tilts his head sideways and this line forms between his eyes looking back at me as if I had lost my mind."Wings...I found you in the water. There were no wings."

"I need my wings...I worked hard to get them." I start to tear up. "I need my wings...don't you understand...I need them back." I beg in sadness.

He holds out his hand and touches my arm. I flinch and he lets go. "You didn't have any wings with you. I'm sorry...look let me talk to the Chief see what we can do alright."

"Chief...what is a Chief?"

"Uhm...he is the head of our tribe. He is knows everything...kind of like a leader."

"Oh...like Malachite."

"Who?"

"He is our leader in Orestes...we have to go by his rules."

"Yeah...so...uhm...ok...look...stay here alright. I will return with the Chief and see if we can figure this all out."

"Uhm...ok..." I repeat some of his words back to him.  I watch him stand up in a hurry and start to walk out of the room, but before he leaves he looks back at me for a quick second and smiles.
