i looked in my mirror as i brushed my long brown hair. it was light and silky now. i lifted the lid of my small gold box and took a pinch on fairy dust out with my thumb and index finger. i held my hand over my head and sprinkeled it on my hair. it transformed my loose hair into a small bun leaving some hair down and turning the loose strands into ringlets. i picked up the lid and placed it gently back onto the box. i took my crown and seated it elgantly on my head. i stood up and i slid into my white slippers (pumps and stood in front of my mirror. i smiled as i looked at the long silk flowy dress. that was ripped at the bottom. my name in erin. princess erin. i'm the only daughter and child of king patrick the great knig of all fairies. i'm next in line to the crown when he dies. as princess of all fairies i'm expected to be kind and gentle and gracefull in every way i can. i do try my best. all the fairies come to me when they look for help. i'm a comfort to them. i spend as much time as i can in the forest. i am so loved by all creature big and small that the timaid rabbit will walk next to me and the visious fox bows down to me. most of the fairies have that affect on animals, but i am the greatest. i can heal anything. i walked down the staris of our grand staircase. i elgantly skipped the stair case and out the door.

" have a nice day princess erin," said some maids with a bow. i kerticed and danced on to the door. the butlers had it open just before i got there. i took one small step out side and i was greated by my best friend. cormack. he picked me up and spun me around. he's not 13 like me. he's 14. i laughted as he put me back down. 

" are you not most beatuiful creature in all of ireland?" he asked

" why of corse i am cormack. why do you think all bows before me," i said bowing

" why princess, i havev't bowed yet," he teased

" well you must bow soon, or i'll have the winds sweep you away" i joked twilering and the wind spun around me with leaves and small petals. 

" or have the rivers come and drag you to sea," i joked again as i bearly swept my hands along the ground and trickels of water danced around our feet. 

" or the suns rays, turn you dust," i joked again holding my hands up to the sun and a strong ray of ligth landed on cromack. he gave a big smile. 

" so i must bow," he said bowing lowly. 

" then i shall comanded nature to stop i said and the leave and petal dropped the water ran down the stone steps and the ray of light faded away. 

" i think it is fasanating the way you can controll the earth with you grace, elgance and beatuy princess," he complemented, offering his arm and i glad slid my hand onto it.

" all fairies can do that," i said smiling up modestly a him.

we are to be married soon. i love the thought of that as he is my best friend. we chatted about matters of the fairy court as we vertured into the woods. when we ad gone far enought we stopped and he lifted me onto a high twig. us fairies can change our size when ever we please, but we perfer to stay small as it is easier to stay hidden from the humans. i haven't seen any yet, but cormack has. our wings are only visible when we want them to be. every fairy must visit the human world. the boys at 13 and the girls at 14. we leaned aganst the twig as i bent down to smile at him. 

" tell me of your adventures in the human world again," i pleaded. 

" well," he said leaning up to me. 

" tell me like you always do," i begged

" ok, ok," he laughted 

" it was a dark night and i was only in the human world for a few hours. we were flying throught the air when something flew up and swipped us out of the clear night sky. a human," he said

i gasped like i always did.

" what did you do," i asked like i did before. 

" well i pulled out my sword and sliced open the net and flew to saftey. ever since then that same man has been hunting down fairies," he siad disappointly

" i hate it when you get all worked up," i said trying to clam him down by taking his face in my hands. i brought his face up close to mine and smiled as i kissed him on the nose. i flittered down off the twig and transformed into my gient size. cormack wasn't far behind me. i caught his hand as we walked back to the palace. 

later that night. i woke up, with the sound of something crying. my eyes flew open. i pushed my self off the bed with my arms. i looked out my window. i wriggeled out of the blankets. i gingerly walked over to the window. when i peered out i saw a tiny rabbit crying. i quickly got dressed into a short dress witch was ripped at the knee and pulled my slippers on. i pulled my hair into a hight and neat pony tail. put some of magic dust into a bag and tied it to my waste. this is the outfit i use when i help something. dust to heel and knives to free and my teiara. in the center of my teara there is and emerald. when ever i saw a certon spell it makes a protective force feild. once you say it every 24 hours it'll work whenever you hold it in frount of you. i twisted my back quickly for my wings to apper. i tiptoed out of my room and out to the main entance of the palace. i walked deeper and deeper into the woods still in sight of the castel. i still loved the way the ground light up as us faries stepped on it at night. i followed the sound of crying, until i came a lost rabbit. i hurried over to it a placed my hand high on its shoulder. 

" shh. it's ok.erin's here. what wrong?" i asked 

"i lost my mother" it whimpered. 

" well don't you fret little rabbit. we''ll find your mother," i said petting it. 

just at tat exact moment a horrifc explotion blasted my back and good 10 feet, until i hit a tree. i slid down and then hit the ground. the light was so bright that i had to cover my eyes with my left arm as my right arm kept me from falling over. you see the whole village is bulit around the palace. it's just in the center of the forest. one trees grow here only grass and the pretties of flowers. when the light, faded away abit. i looked up. a puff of smoke exploded in the sky and on it stood the goblin king and   his seven sons and seven daughters. one daughter and one son repersents one of the deadly sins. my father appered on the balacony. smoke is deadly to faries. it makes us weak. 

" well king patric. all mighty king. how dose fell to have only two choices left," he asked with an evil laught.

" what are you talking about," practically screamed my father

" your daughter marries my son and we join our kkngdoms or i'll kill every one here starting with you," he said taking out a knive.

" FATHER," i screamed but was held back by something. i only saw the green and slimmy hand across my mouth and the other around me pulling me back. 

" i can't find my mother," he laughted. 

oh my god. he was the rabbit, i thought. i sturggeled to be free but he never budged. so i twisted my hands and the grass winded and raided up around his feet and pulled him beneth the earths surface. i took a load and queasy breath now i was able to breath.  i hid behind a tree. 

" i can't find her. she left her room. she must have went to help some animal during the night," said my father.

" very well. i will send out my troops and if we find her she is ours and if we don't find her or if she dosen't return by the next full moon in 10 days. then we will be back with even more smoke," he siad. 

" but until she dose come back my dragons well protect the village from the woods. and well smoke to death one singel fairy a day," he said fading into the back round. 

every one fleed from their homes throught the palace doors. they were guickly shut closed. i heard a . puff of air from behind me and when i looked over my shoulder. i saw a gragon. twice my size. it's not the size we're worried about. it's the fact they breath smoke. i don't  know ehere they got fire from. they were made to kill us fairies. i frantically dropped and craweled to the back of a tree so he wouldn't see me. i put my hands on the ground and turned them to face up. i lifted them up shakingly. the clover, shamrocks and grass grew to cover me up. i could feel his foot steps get closer. i could here him breathing. he was so close i could have touched him. i smelt his smokey breath. with each exhail came a guf of smoke, from his nostriles. i felt his breath on me.  my breathing was uneasy, i covered my mouth with my hand to stop my self from makeing such nose. after a momment the dragon. turned around and walked away. when he was well out of sight. i crawled from under the grass. i pushed it out of my way as i walked out into the open. as i walked out into no mans land. as i crept towards the palace, i heard a 'pist noise' i looked around until i came to a face. i was happy to see cormack. as i got closer, i saw his face was pale and had the life drained out of it. he gave a loud caught. i tiptoed over to the cellar doors. 

" erin. i need you to go and find finma col. he's the only one who can ehlp us. you'll find him up by the gaints cause way. he sits there waiting for his arch fow to come acorss and fight him. he feels he will not be an irish ledgend until he dose. it'll take some perswading but you have to try. now go. you haven't much time," he said and shut the cellar doors closed. they shut with a lound bang and caught the attenion of a dragon. it began to waddel towards me. i took off mt crown and stood back. i quckly chanted the spell for the force feild. none of my poeple were going to die. nothing beside me can eneter of exit these force feild and can only be broken when you say the spell backwards, but no one picks it up quicly enought. 

"grass weave your sheild, up so very high. stars help me strghten it. come down from the night sky. for apon my crown a tiny emreld, siting amount sliver an gold, it well help to protect the good or so that is what i'm told. you will help me form this sheil, right now.  do you understand. for i am princess erin and you will do as i comand," i shouted the last bit as i fell over with the of the spell.grass wound from the ground and covered the palace in a dome and the stars circeled it to keep it strong. when i looked back the dragon. it had gotten very close. squemmering to my feet, i transformed into my gaint size. i ran into the forest. jumping over fallen branches and rocks, ducking under low braches and dodging trees. i lept over bushes. put both my arms out wide and folded them in and all the brees folded in to stoll the dragon wo was also in his gaint form. as i said they weren't very big still. i gave one big leap and my wings appered from my back and lifted me off the ground. i turned around to look at the dragon. i held out my hands and waved them. all the clouds from the night sky fell down to this dept, and fogged up the dragons view. in panic the dragon began to breath smoke in all directions. when the clouds had cleared away, i saw that the dragon was only a few feet away from me. i reached up and pulled stars from the sky and firied them at the dragon. dodging his puffs of smoke. but for one second i let my garud down to see how far up i was and i saw that i was a good hundered feet. turning back to the dragon. the dragon blew it straigth in my face and made it hard to breathe and see. covering my mout. i flet my eyelids get heavy. my mouht stung like no pain i have ever experincened. i clasped onto my neck with the pain. with no energy left, i let my winngs go dead. they had stop working all togerher. i started to fall i looked up at the night sky as i fell. if i just surrender now then i will have to marry one of the goblin kings son or he will kill every one. and i'm not going to let that happen. i put my hands down by my side and tightened my fists. i did a flip and landed saftely on the ground . i stood with my left leg out and bent slightly and my right leg behind it and straight. the dragon landed in font of me. it charged for me. i stood there for a second until he was so close that i did a high summer salt right over him. i laned leaning back. in one movement i spun around and took off my crown.  the dragon turned to face me.  i put my hand out from me and facing down. i turned them up and pulled them up, making the grass twist around the dragons feet and covered its whole body. i held my crown from me and a green ray of light shoot from the emerld smashing into the dragons skielly skin, boring a whole into it. the dragon started to heave smoke fustraidly. the pain was unberable but i kept going until the dragon burst into fairy dust witch magicaly soaked throught my bag and into rest of my fairy dust. all the pain was coming back. i caughted wildly as i stummbeled back trying to keey my balance. i felt dizzy, i knew i wasn't dying but i do wish i was with this pain. i stumbled to the side and saw five humans. two girls and three boys. they gawped at me with wounder and aw. i kept caughting. then an other dragon swooped down from the sky and went for the humans.  i quickly put my self bewteen them. the draon started to breath smoke into my face. i kept pushing him back. with all my  strenght, even thought i was in pain i wouldn't let him touch the humans.

" run," i screamed. they didn't move. 

" fine then. don't move," i said and  caught  the dragons neck and pulled it, off the gound swinging it around. then i let go and it hit a tree. i put my hands out infont of me and opened out my fingers and the tree opened it up and swallowed the dragon. 

when i took a small pause i fainted. when fairies are un consious they change back to their minie size. 

when my eyes fluttered open, the fist thing i saw was one of the boys, poking at the glass in front of me. he was huge. i was only the size of his pinkie finger. i sat up right and banged hard on the glass. i looked up to see how high it was to fly over. it had a lid. they had put me in a jar. i stood up and banged again on the glass, hoping it would give way. i felt my head for my crown so i could blast it down but it wasn't there. i saw the two girls over in the coner of this room playing with it. i jumped up and down to get the boys attention.  i knocked on the glass. one of the boys sloching on a chair pointed to me and and the boy turned around again. i jumped and pointed to the girls with my crown. he looked confused. i kept pointing until he understood. he walked over and took if off of the girls. the other boy sitting on the bed, started to talk to the boy on the chair. i couldn't here them witch was furtrating. i put my ear to the glass. it was like trying to listen to something under water. 

" break it and see what happens," he suggested. 

the boy with my crown waved a dismisive hand bent down to me. i pointed at the crown and then back to me. he pointed at it and then pointed at me. i nodded as i gestuered for him to give it to me. he un screwed the lid and dropped it into me. i picked it up and dusted it off. i held it out from me and it smashed the glass with it's green ray. when the glass was out of my way, my wings poped from my back and i lept into the air and flew over to the window ledge. i started to bang and kick it, hoping they would understand and let me out. i needed to get to finma cool.  i jumped from the window and changed to my normal size. i turned around to the window and began to fidget with the compalcated handel wanting it to open. 

" excuse me?"  asked the boy who gave me crown 

" yes," i asked turning to face him. 

" what the hell do you think you're doing to that window?" asked the one on the bed. 

" gabe," scolded the same boy. 

i got cross. how dare he speck to me like that. 

" you will never speck to me like that again. my name is princess erin of all fairies and i am on a very important mission at the moment. so you will open that window. right now, do you understand. as i am princess erin and you will do as i comand," i corrected. 

under my spell the boy silently got up and opened the windowand walked back to the bed, got back into the exact position he was in before and shook his head. 

" what just happened?" he asked

i gave a wicked smile. i lifted my foot up onto the window cill and was about to jump from the window when a boy put his hand on my sholder.  

" your majesty? were woundering if you could grant us wishes?" he asked 

" for what?" i asked

he looked back at his friends in confustion. he looked back at me. 

" for catching....you," he said. 

" no. genies and lercauns do that, not fairies. we're quite wicked if you catch us. we don't like being trapped from running and flying. we do things like this," i said as i spread both of my hands out wide and pushed them up and slowly clapped them together. i closed my eyes and the ground began to shake. i brought my hands down so it looked like i was preying. 

" make it stop," they begged, holding and onto objects to keep them selves in balance. when i had decided i had punished them enought, i opened my eyes and it stopped. i quickly turned around and went to jump out the window but he caughted loudly and i paused with a loud groan. i bearly looked over my sholder at them. 

" what," i asked.

" allow me to introduce us," said the boy

" go on," i asked as i stood back on the ground and looked at him.

" my name is jason. this guy on the bed is gabe, lad on the coach spencer and the two girl are mandy and donna," he said 

" and we were woundering if we could come on your mission. our summer is kind'a boring," said jason. 

i thought about tht. i would be nice company. 

" are you up for danger?" i asked 

" i guess so, yeah," they said  moaningly

" dragons?" i asked 

" dargons," asked jason 

" my fairy husband to be?" i asked 

" WHAT," sheached the girls in excitment

" goblins?" i asked

" oh gross," laught jason

" finmac ool?" i asked

" no way," said spencer

" and nature powers," i asked reaching into my bag and pinching the dust,

" yes,"  they shouted and i pulled out the dust and threw it around the room sprinking it over them. 

" that will give you the ability to change size and fly but only in my preance, now come on," i siad shrinking and so did they. i slipped out the window and jumped off the ledge letting my wings catch me at the last moment saving me from the thump on the ground. i soared trought the sky. i swayed in and out of trees. it was so beatuiful flying small. you could change size in the air. it was amazing. but saddly i had these humans to look after. they will definataly cause me trouble. i was going to and visit an old lercaun. he was an old shoe marker that always made me dancing shoes. even thought he got on well with my father, he was very grumpy. he never meet me before so he wouldn't know i was the knigs daughter. he has an old habit of giving you anceint and diffecult riddels. he knows the quickest way to get anywhere. no one knows how he knows, but, he dose it. we kept going asking around for afew days. one night we all landed on a brach to rest for the night and  spencer pulled out a weird box that played music. i walked over and took it out of his hands.

" hay!" shouted spencer. i hit a button and music blared i got a fright and i dropped it out of the tree. 

" my ipod," shouted spencer

" cool it," i told him and dived backwards from the tree. i pushed myself faster and faster. just when the ipod went to hit the groun i stopped it with the wind ans swept it up to me. i let my wing catch me before i hit the ground. i turned my head and looked at the ipod. i took it in my hands an listened to the words. 

" because they're calling, calling, calling," i staightened up into a stance postion in mid air. i swayed to the side and then back, it was a beatuiful sound i couldn't help but twilring round and round. i put my amr sout and kept spinning. 

" keep on calling, calling, calling," i sang along i shoot up and back onto the branch when i landed i twilered over to spencer and gave it to him, when he had it in his hands i took one jump onto a higher branch and danced witha bird. when the song was over i dropped onto my back. i birds gather around me. i sang the words an they tweeted the music and some danced. isat up and kept singing. i stood up and leaned aganst the tree. 

" are you doing that erin?" shouted mandy. i jumped down to the branch with the humans. i pilled her off her off her feet and began dancing with her donna joined in and we all spun in a big circel. spencer turned the song back on for even more music. i pulled jason up and gabe spencer started daning with us. kept dancing until the drakest off night. next day i landed elegantly on a branch. so did the other but did so painfully. one by one the bashed into the hard bark of this woodland tree. i gave a small jump into a squres nest and shook the squre in it lightly. it rubbed it's eyes open with a loud yawn.

" good morning little guy," i said rubbing it sorf fur.

" i was woundering if you could lead to, porgig the old lercun?" i asked

it squeaked and nodded skamppering out of it's nest. i lept out letting my wings do all the work. it waited for me on the other side and sprinted to the end of the branch and jumped for the next and gestured for me to follow. i turned around and hit one of the humans for their attention.

" come on. this squral has been so kind as to lead us to prorig, the shoe marker," i scolded.

" shut up, freak," said gabe

" don't speck to me like that," i said 

" i hope you don't find this lepercaun, i hope all the other freaky friends of yours gets killed," he said

" why would you say that?" i asked

" because, you seem to be a pretty weak princess if you just let some goblin take it like that," he said. his words stung, but i brushed it aside, princesses turn the other check. 

i turned around and took a deep breath and sprinted and lept just like the squral. the squral kept running and jumping from tree to tree. i knew the humans wouldn't keep up so i took out my fairy dust and rubbed it into the sole of my shoes so it would leave a trail. i hoped they would pick up on the clue. the squrel comes to an abburt stop. i ran over to it and looked down. and there he was. sitting down on a toad stool hunched over a table, working on a pair of black shoes. i squated down to get a better look. when he stood up his back was still crooked . he took his pair of shoes, looked suspicaly over his shoulder before opeding the door of his house witch was carved into a tree and shut the door slowly behind him. the momment the door was shoot all the windows and the door on the tree disappered. i looked at the squral and hugged it. 

" thank you, you are always welcome at the palace," i said as it skammpered off. 

i out streached my wings and glined down. i stopped with a few steps. i walked over to where i saw the door. it was abit high so i fluttered up to where i guess it would have been. i gave a light knock. in a rush everything reappered and the door burst open hitting off me and knocking me back a few feet and flipped me over a few times. i straightened myself up and shook my head to knock out the dizzenyness. i quickly flew over to it. i waited until he stood in the door way, with his hunch. he leaned out the door with a glair. 

" what do you want? fairy," he spat

" i was hoping you would help me get to finma cool. i need his help, despertally. please. you will be rewarded handsomely," i said with plenty of hand gestures. 

" what sort of reward," he asked curisously 

i looked at him, woundering what i could do. then it hit me. i placed my hand on my bag of fairy dust and looked back at him. 

" i'll fix your back," i said. 

he looked me up and down, woundering weathier to turst me or not. 

" i don't know, i don't trust fairies, they can be wicked whenlocked away,and i don't want that sort of trouble. now go away," he said closing the door. 

" you didn't think that about my father thought," i said quickly.

he opened the door slowly and looked astonished at me. he knows i have so much power and i can either chanel it to do very good or very bad. and also i was the kings daughter. 

" p-p-princess erin?" he babbeled, i straightened up. 

" now, can i come in?" i asked 

" by all means princess. come in come in," he said. 

i placed my foot in side and pulled my self in. i stood in the small tree house. porig togged at my arm and pointed for me to sit. i sat down propperly and watched him sit down infrount of me att eh other side of the table. he pulled out a deck of cards.  i could here the other outside. porig stood up and let them in. they all shuffeled to to the back wall. he sat back down.

" like i said, i need your help," i asked watching him take them out and shuffel the cards. 

" do you like card tricks," he asked

" i need to get to the gaints causway," i continued egnoring him. 

" some people spend their whole lives trying to figure them out," he went one, holding out the deck for me to pick one. i placed my hand on one and slid one out. it was the three of dimonds. 

" i need finn..." i began

" the three of dimonds you hold in your hand repersents three quests you must go on and bring me back three dimonds for each quest. put you card on the table ," he said. he shuffeled them again and offered my another one. this time it was an ace of heart.  

" how did you know that?" i asked he egnored me and went on 

" and the ace of hearts is for the one his heart belonged to. place your card on the table," he siad and i did. i kept quite to see what he was getting at. i put it to on the table. for the last time he held out the deck and i took one curisously. king of cloves. i put it to on the table. 

" the king stands as a symbol for finn him self," he said putting his deck away. 

" so the one he loves is his wife, and if his the king then una is his..." i siad 

he flipped the cards over one by one. the first one, i put down was the three of diamonds, it was now the queen of diamonds. the second was the ace of hearts. now the queen of hearts and last the Kings of cloves was now the queen of cloves. 

" you want me to see his wife?" i asked 

just then the room around me faded away and i was left in my tiny size outside a small white washed cottage. i flapped my wings and flew through an open window. it side was ancient Celtic, and standing over a fire place looking into the flames was finns wife una. she has her hair tied back and was wearing a long shall. i coughed loudly. she looked over at me. 

" why princess  erin. please sit," she said i changed to my normal size and sat down on a chair in front of her. she pulled her shall higher over her shoulders and on the left hand i saw a big yellow diamond ring. that must have been what he was talking about.  

" my palace in beging kept hostage by the goblin king. i was sent to find you husband to come and help...." i said 

" oh, that old fool. why dose he have to be so proud. he was upset with me for dressing him as a baby and hiding him from that blody bin in donner. between those two men their going to be the death of me," interrupted una. 

" as i was saying, i was sent by porig the lepercun to find three dimonds. i was hoping i could have the one on your ring?" i asked pointing at her finger. 

" but this is the ring gave finn me at our wedding," she said 

a lump formed in my throath. i didn't want to take it on her. i hated this so much, but i needed to save my people and everyone else. if the goblin king gets our powers god only knows what he'll do with it. 

" please una. if you don't give me that ring, then the goblin king will win. i will have to marry his son or he kills every one and once he gets our powers he could distroy everything. please una. 

" i can't," she said. 

" please," i said i pinched my fairy dust and sprinkeled it on her shoes, turning them into beatuiful slippers. she looked down at them but gave a no thank you look.

" that won't help. i'll still look old," she said 

" wait. what?" i asked

" i'll still be old," she repeated coldly

" you want to go to tear na gog. don't you?" i asked 

she looked shame fully at me. 

" no don't be ashemed. i can get you there. if you give me the dimond," i said 

she quickly pulled off her ring and gave it to me and stood up. i stood up too. i took off my crown and held it up. 

" tiny emerald, you'll help me get una to tir na gog. right now. do you understand. for i am princess erin and you will do as i command," i said as a ray of green light came from my crown hitting off una and making her vanish. i looked down at the ring in my hand and next thing i was back in the chair in porigs house.

" well done," he said plainly.  taking the ring and putting it under the table. next he took out. three jars of light. one pink. one black, and one yellow. he placed them on the table. he took out three cups and placed one beside a jar. he opened the first one and poured into the cup and turned the cup up side down. he did the same for the other two. when he was finished he started to shuffle them around.

" can you guess what their for?" he asked

" the black is for night. the pink is for twilight and the yellow is for the day," i said 

" your smart for a fairy," he said 

" what's for the night?" he asked and stopped shuffling. i touched one and the he flipped it over it was night. 

" the moon?" i asked 

" thats right. and twilight?" he asked 

" clouds?" i asked 

" yes. and whats em... what's em day?" he asked 

" the sun," i said 

he gave me a wink 

" you want me to see his on?" i asked 

and once again the room disappeared and i was left in an old field. i saw an old man sitting on a rock. he was looking at his sword with diamond blue in crested in it. i guessed i needed the big one in the middle. i flew over to him as flying in much easier than walking. when i reached him he looked up at me.  he gave me a surprised look. 

 " to what do i own the pleasure, princess?" he asked

" the goblin kings has my palace under hostage. he is looking for me as we speck, i need you father help and to get to him i'll need three diamonds.  i think that big one would do just the job," i said with a bow. he lead it close. it pulled it off his lap with all of his power and held it tight to his chest. 

" with all respect princess. i would perfere to keep it like this, it's the last thing i have left of my man hood. it's all i have," he said 

my heart sank. i can't make him younger as it isn't something that needs healing. i tuned around and began to sing. 

" what are you doing?" he asked 

" shhh," i said and continued as wood land animals scampered out of the forest and gather around me.  i bowed to outshine and the animals followed. he looked amazed at the sight. 

" what's this?" he asked

" what's this," i repeated

" every thing you wanted. i can't make you younger as you can't heal that, but you are still a man, and to prove it, all the creatures on this earth will bow before you. you don't need that anymore a  symbol anymore, the respect of the animals will protect and care for you, " i told him as he stood up. i gave a bow and didn't get up until the animals had taken him away into the forest, to show him all he missed while he sat here, sulking. i stood up and turned around to look at him, he was up on stags back and being taken into the forest. i looked back at me. i smiled and gave a big wave, he waved back. i looked back at the rock. he had left his sword behind. i picked it up and i was back in porigs chair. he sat in font of me smiling. 

" that was very good. i wouldn't have thought of that myself," he said. 

" thank you," i said 

i looked at the humans as they played with the cards and light. porig followed my gaze. 

" they told me about the wishes," he laughed 

" i know," i laughed too, 

" now, a Riddle. Touching one, yet holding two, it is a one link chain binding those who keep words true,'til death rent it in twain. what am i?" he asked

" a wedding ring," i answer simply. 

" My first is in wield, sever bones and marrow. My second is in blade, forged in cold steel. My third is in arbalest, and also in arrows. My fourth is in power, plunged through a shield. My fifth is in honour, and also in vows My last will put an end to it all. what am i?" he asked again

" a weapon," i answered again. 

" wow you're good," said gabe, approvingly. both porig and i looked blankly at him as he slouched in the window cill surrounded by the other humans. porig looked back at me. 

" this is princess erin. of corse she's good," he said 

i looked back at him.

" well the wedding ring is where you found your fist diamond and the weapon is your second. where do you think the third one is?" he asked

" i don't know," i said 

" i take it back," said gabe, 

i snapped to look at him. he was very hurtful to me. he gave me a pouting look. i turned away and cried into my hands. 

" has this boy been mean to you?" he asked petting my shoulder

" yes" i sobbed. 

" and he has all his friends here to back him up?" he asked

" i guess so," i said wiping away my tears.

" well i think, it's only fair if you have some one to back you up," he said and was soon followed by a knock to the door. porig staggered to his feet and opened the door. floating there was cormack. i stood up. he stepped inside. we stared at each other for a while and then i ran to give him a hug. i really missed him these past few days. i started crying. i never thought i was actually going to make it. i thought i was never going to see him again. he held me out at arms lenght and wiped my tears away with his thumb. 

" i be very proud of her. she's been very brave, these past few days. i just watched it on my crystal ball here," he said and went to go and sit down. porig sat down in fount of us. we couldn't stop smiling at each other. i loved him so much. 

" you too are going to make a great couple and you erin will be a great queen," said porig. 

"she's been so nice to these humans  and they haven't been exactly great back," he said 

" humans?" asked cormack. seriously

porig nodded over to where they were. the girls stood drooling at cormack while the boys were jealous. 

" what did you do to erin," he asked

" cormack, sweety, it's ok. i'm fine. really look. see i'm fine. cormack. clam down. cormack," i said calmly as cormack went into a rage. 

" these are humans. i can take them down myslef. now what did they do," he asked

" look," said porig as he held out his crystal ball. cormack took it and watched how i saved them fro a dragon and how they locked me in a jar and how i let them fly and how rude gabe was to me and how he made me cry. cormack put it down on the table and stood up. i wasn't too far behind him. i grabbed onto his arm and held him back. i jumped in front of him pushing him back. 

" cormack no," i said pushing him back a good two feet. i'm very strong when i want to be. 

" you're strong," said mandy

" yeah," said donna. 

cormack pushed me aside and walked over to gabe and grabbed him by the neck lifting him off the window and out in front of him. i opened out my arms and closed them them into a slap and the air collapsed around cormack squeezing him, until he dropped gabe. 

" oh my god are you ok gabe," asked spencer 

i dropped to my knees beside cormack. i fixed him into a tucked in position. porig called the humans over to him. and he walked into the kitchen with them. mean while, as i was trying to fix cormack, porig was in with the humans. 

" you better go to bed now, and take him with you, i don't want any more trouble, with him and these humans," shouted porig and turned back to the humans. 

" were you scared?" asked porig

" em...yeah that guys like 14 and he has a six pack," said Spencer

" is that it. you were worried about how stroung cormack was?" he laughted

" of course we were worried about Strong he was," said Gabe. 

" and that...that's it," he laughed again leaning over

" em yeah," said jason

" were you not worried about erin?" he asked

" no why, she's tiny," said spencer. 

" that dosen't mean she's not powerful. did you see what she did back there to save you?" he asked

" no why?" he asked 

" well she tightened the air around him making it hard to breath and do you forget the way she tuck down the two dragons, twice her size on her own. she is one the most powerful creatures you'll ever met. sure why do you thin cormack dropped you. just for the sake of it. no.  erin is more powerful then cormack. look," he said pointing out the window into the living room to where i was not paying any attention. i stood back and held my arms out in front of me and turned my hands facing up. i raised them slighty and with them i took cormack off the ground. i wasn't strong enough to lift him all the way into the bedroom. when he got up high enough i began to push him into the room in thin air. i wind was helping me but of course i was controlling it. i pushed him all the way into the room and when i got him over the bed i dropped him. i went back and closed the door. i held my hands over him and began to wriggle my fingers above him. water fell from my finger onto his face slowly waking him up. i he lay there, wondering what had just happened. i walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. he propped himself up on one elbow. he gave me a small smile and i smiled back. i really loved him and i hated when i had to hurt him to save them human that wasn't worth it. i lay down next to him and fell a sleep. 

next day. i've got three more days left. i need to really get this right, it's been ages since i was at the palace, i've spent so much time here trying to figure out where the last dimond could be. then it hit me. i sent una to this place and ousine was here before. why it was....

" tir na nog," i said staring off into the distance. 

porig dropped the plates he was putting away and hobbeled quickly over to me. 

" what did you say?" he asked

" it's in tir na nog. it's tir na nog. naimh has it. she has the last dimond. after all that you'd think a princess would remmber an other," i said

" you're going to make a brillaint queen," said porig and the room vanished from around me. and this time i was in a bed room and i saw naimh lying on her bed wepping. 

" are you alright?" i asked she stopped with fight. 

" princess erin, how are you, it's been ages," she said wiping away the tear. i sat down beside her on the bed. 

" why are you crying," i asked petting her sholder 

" i miss ousine," she sobbed. then a ray of light beamed in the window and hit off refciltive surface, it blinded me so out of curiousty i looked to see what it was. it was hiar brush with a pink dimond incursted in it. 

" naimh, we've been friends for along time and you have always helped me when i needed it, and right now i need you're help. i asked

" what's wrong?" she asked 

i told her the  story about the goblin king and how i needed to find dimonds to get to finn. she listened clearfully. 

" so i need the dimond in your brush there," i said and her face dropped. 

" when ousine left all i had to keep me going was my beatuy and i used that to brush my hair, to make me pretty. i need it to keep me going," she said. 

" so you're suffering from a broken heart," i said thoughtfully 

" yes," she sobbed. 

" ah ha," i said clicking my fingers. i ran over to the window and opened the shutters. i began to sing and the birds answered back in the exact same tone. i called them over by song, they sat in the window they tweeted the music to a very happy song and i grabbed naimhs hands and pulled her off the bed and spun round and round with her i jumped back and dived out of the window and fell. i let my wngs catch me at the last minute and dragged with me. she smiled as i stood up, she twirled as brightened the feild and the got warmer the wind swept us off our feet and threw us about. i was commanding all this, i love commanding nature. i love the way i controll it. when we were staning properly again i made it snow and tured the into a wounderland. i spun and the winds went blistic. she smiled. 

" erin," shouted naimh.

" yes," i shouted back.

" go and get that diamiond," she said and i took one jump into her bedroom i grabbed her hair brush and pulled out the pink dimond i took a few steps back and jumped out of her window into the air 

" good bye erin," she shouted as i disappered from the air and backk into porigs living room. i jumped about with excitment. i gave porig the dimond and he slipped it in a shield. in the shiel was the other stones. 

" the pink one is for your beauty. the blue is for royalty. the yellow is to show you're bright. and the green one in you crown is for your power.  use this shiel well, and it sword for defence," he said handing me a sheild and sword. 

" we can go and see finn now, the world is saved," i said.

" thats the bad news princess. you must go alone fro now," he said.

" but we will be watching you. and here," finished cormack handing me a belt with about 50 small knives on it. i strapped it around my waiste.

i nodded and stood back. porig took out a spell book and started chanting. i took out a oinch of dust and throught it over him and fixed his back. he looked up at me happily. 

" i said you would rewarded. and i don't break my promises," i said. he kept going. and then he stopped and smiled at me. then he looked back at the book. his face dropped. the room started to slowly fade around me. 

" this will only take you half way. i read the wrong spell. good luck," said porig. cormack looked worried and then ran for me but his hands went though me. 

" ERIN," he screamed. i reamed silent as i didn't want to break down and cry. i closed my eyes. when i opened them again i was at the back of a shop. it was like a spell shop because it had cloths. i walked bravely out of the shop, with my sheild ans sword thighly by my side. i got some strange staers but i blocked them out. when i got out side i noticed it was alot darker. i looked up at the stars. they'll tell my witch way to go. the formed the shape of an arrow and pointed down a long and busy street. i kept walking. then out of no where i saw one of the goblin prince's an a princess. i kept walking as they had a drangon, but discused as a big and visious dog. 

" ERIN," she shouted.

i looked over my shoulder and they were runnung after me. i started running. i let  a few tears escape. what if they catch me. i kept running. i looked up at the stars, bumping into a few people. i wasn't paying any attention when i fell over some bins. i got back up and kept running. there was no way i was going to slow down, not until i was far away. the street started to empty. people strayed into shop. i know it was the goblins doing. i saw a big bridge and on the other side was a town just like this. just as i got to the bridge it craked open. under neath it was a wild river. i didn't have time to controll the ripid water or for my wings to apper. i didn't have the consontration for  that. i put my head down and took up my spead, i got faster and faster and then with one big jump, i glided right over the then foot crack. i landed with a thud to the ground and rolled down a bit. i frantickly got to my feet. kept going. the goblins stood on the other side screaming at me to get back. i turned around for one minute and looked at them. i took off my crown. a pointed it at them. a green ray exploed from it and smashed into the goblins turning tem to dust, along with thier dragon.  i hate goblins. i ran into a drak alley and hide behind a big bin. i lay there until i fell asleep. 

next day. i was woken up by the sun. birds nudged me to get up. when i stood up i looked around. i stepped out into the brightness of day and the small crown of humans. i walked for a bit letting tte birds lead me. i was walking for quite a while when a man came up to me. he looked at me for a while and the strolked his small beard. he looked to be in his 30's. he wore a fishing hat and a pair of three quater lenghts. a tshirt and a jacket. a pair of white runner, glasses and grey socks. he held a box up to me and as it got closer and beeped louder and faster. he smiled

" i've spent my whole life looking for you princess ein," he said 

" you're not finn ma cool? are you?" i asked 

" no, i'm...i'm a fairy hunter," he said. 

i imdeitly thought of the story cormack told me. 

" i'm very sorry about your palace," he siad 

" you must be under a lot of preasure, to get finn," he said 

" i am. now if you don't mind, i have to go," i said walking past him, but he caught me with his arm and pulled me into the back of a van. he quickly closed the door and ran around to the drivers seat. 

" i told them you were real. they never believed me, but i'll show them. all of them," he said 

i banged on the doors for them to open, but nothing. i took off my crown and hld it out from me and shoot, but it bounced back and nearly hit me. 

" this van was made to keep you in it. you can't escapse," he laughed 

" please. let me go. i need to get to antrim, by tommorrow. if i don't everything will die," i begged. 

" no,"  he said. i banged on the metal cage that kept me from getting into him and killing him. i ratteled it for a while but gave up. i sank down to the floor and began to cry. i dropped my sword and sheil beside me. i sat there crying for a good hour.

" where are you taking me anyway?" i asked

" as a matter of fact i'm taking to amtrim to a lab to be tested on. do you mind me asking. what has happened since your  castel was taken hostage?" he asked

" well i had to run from a dragon and then fight him off and then i saw some humans and an other dragon tried to kill them so i had do kill him to. and because dragons breath smoke, i fainte with pain, as fairies don't like smoke. then the humans locked me in a jar asking for wishes," he laughed at that

" i know, but i took them with me to go and find an old lepercaun called porig who was going to get me to finn, but i needed to get three dimonds first. the fist one was with his wife on her ring and second one  on his sons sword and the last one was in princess naimhs hair brush. and jut last night i was put in this world and then chaced by two goblins. and here i am now," i told him

" had a bad few days i can see, but you're really going to love this lab, it's more like a hotel, than a lab," he said

" i don't want to go to some stupid lab. i have a duty to save everything," i lashed out jumping up and  banged on the sides of the van. i thought of porig and cormack and my father. i can't just give up on them. i kept banging. 

" stop that we're here now," he shouted and the van stopped. i began to dint the sides of the van

" ERIN," he shouted. 

i wouldn't stop. then the door opened and i saw that i was in a big room with lots of humans with white coats. i took a step back and sprinted out of the van, i stood there looking around, thats when i saw the bigs doors. that was my way out, i thought. they surrounded me. closing in. i placed my hand on my knives. i waited until the last minute to pull it out and thought it at on of the 10 people in the room. i pulled out an other knive and aimed it at another person. i quickly ran for the door, but some one, caught me and held me back, they went to stick an neddle inme but my wrist cloidded with theirs and locked it into place making it impossable for them for stick it in me. with me free hand i pulled out a second knive and stuck it in them and pulled it out again thought it at an other person who was just in fount of me. i ran for the door. i opened it and i was lead into the lab. no one was there so i ran out and into the car park. i sprinted across with all of my spead. i took one big leap and my wings exploded from my back and lifted higher into the dayligt. i flew over the city to the gaints causeway. after  a while my wings grew tired and sore so i landed witha thud to the grassy floor. i got to my feet and started to walked forward with my head down. it had gotten really dark now.  

" one more day," i told myself. when i finally looked up, what did i see, nothing but the great finn mac  cool himself. i started to run over to him. when i reached him i tapped his shoulder. he smiled back at me. 

" why princess. what a nice surpise. how can i help you?" he asked i told him about my journey and he listened quitly. 

" so i need your help," i said. 

" princess i would help but i'm waiting to fight my arch foe. binn in donner. and i'm too old to fight him now so i shall never move," he said

" what if some one fought in your place?" i asked 

" well i soppouse. but only i would dare to fight him," he said.

" i will," said standing up proudly

" but princess he'll chursh you. you can't fight him," he said. 

" over the past nine days, i've done it all. i'll fight him and i'll beat him,," i said 

" as you wish," he siad looking back out to sea. 

i turned around and looked up. 

" porig i need your help. please get me binn in donner," i said 

and at the exact momment the ground began to shake. i looked over at the bridge and out of the mist came a giant figure. 

" what have i done?" i whispered. 

the firgure got even bigger as it got closer. oh gad. his going to kill me. i grabbed my sword and sheild and hide behind some rocks. 

" ah if it isn't the great big baby finn himself. i shook with fear. what if he finds me. i heard a loud bang. i peered around the rock to find binn had punched finn into the face and knocked him over. wy wasn't finn fighting back. binn with drew his sword and held it over finn. 

" now lets ened this," he said.

" wait," i shouted. 

binn froze and looked at me. i stood up i changed to my gaint sze so he could see me. 

" finn isn't the one who called apon you. i was" i said

" you. a little fairy?" he laughed mockingly. 

" yes," i said taking one step forward. 

" tyou can't be serious, finn. i'll crush her. she's so small amd weak. i bet she's scared. are you scared? he asked walking towrds me. i stood my gound. how dare he speck to me like that. 

" are you thinking of the way i'm going to kill you. the way you're going to de. the long and painful way?" he asked

" your going to run away now aren't you. your not going to hurt me are you?" he asked. and with that i pulled out a knive and trought it at his arm. he screamed in pain. he pulled it our and ran for me. the waves behind me were going mad. the wind blistic the rain pounded hard. it was my way of being stong. i held his sword over his head and broguth it down heaviely on my sheild. i pushed it off and cut off his left hand. with his other hand he went to strick again but i sheilded my self with my sword.  i shooved it off and stricked at him but he tooka step back and i missed. i spinned around and my sword cloided with his. i took a second spin and he blocked it again. i went for his neck, but it hit my sword away with his.  heldmy sheild up and the dimond rays hit off of his sword and koncked his sword out of his hand. with one smack of his hand he sent he flying back, until i hit a rock, dropping my sheild and sword. i didn't have time to go and pick them up. he scooped his sword off the ground and ran for me. i pushed my self back until i slipped off the edge of the cliff and dropped a good five feet.

" ERIN," screamed finn. 

when i made the wind catch me and pull me back up. when i was back up the cliffs edge i ran at binn and slid under his sword just before it had time to land into me. i commanded the air to bring me my sword.  once i had it in my hand. i waited until binn was close enought and i gave it to the air. i stood just beside the edge. i waited until binn was just so fast he couldn't stop. then i stepped aside and he slid right over the edge to his watery grave. i looked down as he fell. the wind messed up my hair bowing it in my eyes. i turned around to finn. 

" now will you come?" i asked

he stood to his feet and behind him appered the fianna his army, bowing with respect to me. 

" lets go," i said and looked up 

"porig," i said and we were zapped into the middel of the forest, i knew it was my forest. i started walking throught it until i came to my palace. it was till under my spell. i saw the dragons gaurding it. they had saw us. the goblin king puffed out of the sky the rest of the men had sheilded their eyes from the light but i just stood there. i he stepped down and wlaked over slowly to me. 

" well you've had quite an adventure. haven't you," he said with an evil smirk. 

" are we going to ust stand here and talk of are me going to fight?" i asked. i had changed my army down to a smaller size so they could fight the goblin army. we cicereled each other for a second and them he went to stirke me but i hit his sword away with my sheild. i went to hit him but he dogded it. i swoung at him but he smaked my sword with his. i grasped it in my hand. there is no way i'm going to let him win. i pulled it over my head and landed it down on his sword with great power. he slid my sword off and went to plunge it in me but i held up my sheild and he hit that in stead. 

" attack," i screamed and the fianna attacked the dragon and goblins. they didn't get effected by the smoke. i ran away but the king followed me. i hid behind a tree and he came looking for me. he blasted a tree away that was just beside me. i felt like i wasbeing chached by a wild fox. thats it. i began to bark and all the foxes in the woods came out to portect me. they formed a protective line in front of me and began to growl. i stood with my sheild in my hand and my sword in the other. i dropped them and i put my hand s out in front of me and faced them down and then turned them up and the grass grew and wrapped them selves around the goblin kings feet. i melted them away. i got te wind to get strounger but he just stood there like it was nothing. i twisted my hands and the ground twisted with them and started to swallow him but he simply stepped away from it. he walked closer to me and out of no where the foxes turned to dust. he kicked me down and i fell flat on my back. i sheilded my face from him. then i had a brillaint idea. my wings sprrouted from the shoulder blades and opened up like umberellas pushing me up and banginto the goblin king. this time i had knoced him to the ground and i sat ontop of him. he stuggerel to be free, but i commanded the roots of tree to bind him into place by strapping is arms and legs to the ground. i pulled off my crown and held it just over his chest. 

" kill this iny goblin king, right now, do you understand. FOR I AM PRINCESS ERIN AND YOU'LL DO AS I COMMAND," i shouted as the brightest ray of green light shoot from my cromn into the goblin king kocking me back a few feet until i hit a tree. i held my crown out for as long as i took to turn the goblin king to turn to dust. i could here him crying for mercy but i kept going. then a puff of smoke burst from the goblin king and sprinkeled every where. so did the dragon and other goblins. i can out of the forest to the village to find rinn and the rest of the men cover in ashes like me. i held my crown out to the palace and a beam struck into the wall of grass and stars. 

" command i as do you'll and erin princess am i for. understand you do, now right. sheild this undo," i said and the wall broke away. gingerly the village stoog out from the palace to find the dragons had gone. 

" ERIN," shouted one and my father burst thought the crowd and hugged me tightly. 

" oh erin. i missed you do much," he said letting go of me, then from behind i was picked up and spun around, when i was put back down i saw a teary cormack. i hugged him thighly. 

" thank good you're safe," he said and behind him stood porig and the humans. i gave them a smile.

next day. 

" from this day foward, you princess erin will be queen of all fairies from here until the dne of the earht," said my father as he put the crown on my head. the weight of it felt amazing.  i was going to do my best to be queen. 

" long live queen erin," shouted cormack. 

" long live queen erin. long live queen erin. long live queen," chanted the fairies. in the crowed stood cormack the humans and porig. and as you would expect i was a great queen and won many other terrible battels and went on other dangerous adventures, but that another story which you will read, right now, do you understand, for i am princess erin and you'll do as i command.
