Promt 1 (Darkfantasyreads)
"Ulupi, only you can do this. Our lives depend on you," Queen Fairy Tvisha said as soon as Ulupi returned from War Zone 2.
Ulupi gazed out the window. Fairyland was burning, the sky darkened, the air turning poisonous, and blood flowed like water. Her dress was soaked with sweat and blood. She turned to her mother.
"Where are your favorite sons, Mother? Weren't they supposed to save the land on their own? Did you forget what they said before the war began? After all the insults, I joined the battle. Now they expect me to save the day? Tell them to do it; I'm not going anywhere," she said in one breath before rushing to her room, throwing her sword away.
Her mother sighed and followed her. Ulupi was crying into her pillow. Tvisha placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Ulupi, there are no favorites among my children; I have always loved you, my girl. I know you are hurt by them, but remember, there is more at stake than family squabbles. The realm, our motherland, needs you. You are the eldest, with the capabilities of a great leader.
This war is slipping out of our control, and our enemies are growing stronger. Only one person can kill these spirits and end the battle. According to the stars, he belongs to Earth. Since you reside there, it will be easier for you to find him. That's why I'm asking you. Please, Ulupi, do not let family issues overshadow the fate of our land. Fairyland needs you."
Tvisha paused. Ulupi stood up and hugged her mother tightly. Tvisha gently caressed her hair. After calming down, Ulupi asked how she would recognize the person.
"He will have a glowing star mark; only those with magical abilities can see the glow. You must prepare him for the battle."
"Okay, mother. I will find him." She took her favorite sword and teleported to Earth.
After an exhaustive search, she finally found a three-year-old child with the star mark on his hand. It was shocking, how could a child stand against such formidable enemies?
Ulupi stood in front of the small child, her mind racing with questions. How could this innocent boy be their savior? But the mark was unmistakable, glowing faintly on his tiny hand.
She teleported to his house, as she knocked the door, a woman answered.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
""I need to speak with you and your husband. It's about your son," Ulupi said.
The woman hesitated but then nodded, inviting her inside. Once they were seated, Ulupi explained everything. The parents were initially skeptical, but Ulupi convinced them. They agreed to help.
"But, be careful, my baby is a little temperamental, he may annoy you. I trust you, please do not let those enemies hurt my son." His mother pleaded.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I am taking full responsibility of him. He would be safe with me."
The baby, Aidan, was playing on his mother's lap. She gently handed him to Ulupi, but as soon as he realized he wasn't with his mom, he started crying loudly, trying to get away.
Ulupi rocked him gently, trying to calm him. "It's okay, Aidan. I'm your friend. We're going on an adventure together," she whispered, but Aidan only cried louder.
Ulupi was trying to find a way to calm Aidan quickly. She held him with one hand and spread her another hand. A soft, blue, sparkling water appeared, forming a tiny fountain in her palm.Watching these magical things, Aidan forgot to cry and curiously looked at her face.
"I do it, I do it!" he exclaimed, reaching out to her hand.
"Do you want to play with water? Let me teach you." She held his hands and chanted something. "Now spread your hands and say 'water'."
Aidan spread his hands and said, "Otah."
The ground cracked, and a stream of water burst forth. His parents stood up in shock.
"Say 'stop,' say 'stop,'" Ulupi told him, but he was laughing and clapping happily.Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Ulupi used her power to stop the flow. This disturbed Aidan, and he started crying and jittering. She embraced him, trying to calm him down.
"Aidan, look! It's a magic bubble. Can you catch it?" she asked, trying to distract him.
Aidan's cries lessened as he watched the bubble. He reached out to catch it, but it floated just out of his grasp. He giggled, momentarily forgetting his frustration.
"Let's see if you can make more bubbles," Ulupi suggested. "Try saying 'bubble'."
Aidan spread his hands and said, "Bubbo!" Tiny bubbles appeared, floating around him. He clapped his hands in delight, his tantrum forgotten for the moment.
Soon they became friends and she went to Fairyland taking him with her. She explained everything to her mother when little Aidan was trying to turn Fairyland into Bubbleland, giggling as bubbles floated everywhere.
"How would you train him, Ulupi?" Her mother asked. As usual her brothers mocked her. Ignoring them, she told,"Mother, he has immense power, but he's still just a child. He needs some time to be trained."
But, it was more difficult than she imagined. Whenever he was told to stop or concentrate, he would throw tantrums, creating magical chaos around him. Ulupi was trying to teach him control Water, Air and Soil but Aidan kept throwing tantrums. One moment Fairyland was submerged under floods, then it was spinning in tornadoes, and at one point, it even turned into a jungle, with fairies swinging from vines like monkeys.
Fairies were complaining about this to their queen but Tvisha didn't know how to handle it.
Ulupi was exhausted, constantly chasing after Aidan, trying to prevent one disaster after another.
She was just seated under a tree to take some rest, Aidan was with a fairy. Suddenly, she saw Aidan was flying.
Jolting up, she shouted, "Who gave him wings?"
She then noticed the fairy standing a little far away, wearing a guilty face.
"Why did you give him wings?" frustrated, she asked.
The fairy fidgeted, avoiding eye contact.
"He was getting bored. I thought it might keep him entertained for a bit," she explained.
Ulupi glanced up at Aidan, who was now joyfully swooping through the air, giggling uncontrollably.
"Great. Now I have to figure out how to get him down without turning Fairyland into a circus".
Taking a deep breath, she called out to Aidan, "Aidan, come down here, please. We need to talk about this."
Aidan ignored her and kept flying forward. Ulupi had no choice but to start flying after him for his safety. He was soaring through the sky, laughing and playing with the elements-twisting air currents into spirals, making soil rise into floating islands, and creating sudden bursts of water fountains.
Ulupi was thanking every deity she could think of that she hadn't yet taught him how to control fire and space.
"Aidan, slow down!" she called, dodging a particularly large bubble he conjured up that nearly enveloped her.
Suddenly, he entered the battlefield area. Ulupi's heart leapt into her throat. "No, not there!" She shouted.
But the child kept playing, but The malevolent spirits saw him and assumed he was an enemy. However, Aidan's innocent games with the elements disrupted their attacks-the wind deflected their arrows, the ground became walls that blocked their advance and the water obliterated their fiery weapons.
Ulupi reached him just in time, drawing her sword to protect him from the spirits.
"Aidan, we need to leave, now!" Ulupi shouted, slashing at a spirit that got too close.
But Aidan was having too much fun. He summoned a gust of wind that knocked over a row of spirits, laughing as they tumbled like dominoes. Ulupi gritted her teeth, slashing through another wave of enemies.
Desperately, she tried to catch Aidan, but he slipped away and flew forward, entering the enemy's base camp. Ulupi's heart pounded as she chased after him. Aidan spotted a tree with a single, tempting fruit hanging from a branch. He perched himself on the branch and plucked the fruit.Ulupi finally caught up to him and, just as he took the fruit, she scooped him onto her lap. But Aidan, became angry.
"No! My fruit!" he yelled, tweaking her wings with surprising strength.They tumbled to the ground, and Aidan grabbed the fruit. Seeing wet soil on it, he became irritated.
"Yucky soil!" he declared, holding the fruit. Instantly, it transformed into soil. The malevolent spirits around them started vanishing.
To Ulupi's shock, the fruit instantly transformed into soil. As soon as it happened, the malevolent spirits around them started vanishing, their forms dissipating into thin air.Ulupi stared in disbelief as the battlefield grew eerily quiet.
"What just happened?" she murmured.She quickly held up Aidan and flew back to her mother. Bursting into the royal chamber, she found Queen Fairy Tvisha waiting.
"Mother, you won't believe what just happened!" She explained everything she saw.
"That fruit was the source of energy for the malevolent spirits. By turning it into soil, Aidan destroyed their power." Tvisha told her watching the Holy Book of Fairyland.
Ulupi looked at Aidan, who was now contentedly playing with a piece of cloth he'd found. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, it seems our little hero has his own way of doing things."
Tvisha smiled, nodding she said,
"Indeed. Sometimes, the most unexpected solutions come from the most unlikely sources.
Now, Fairyland is safe, it is time to return Aidan to his family."
"Aidan, we're going to see your mom and dad now," Ulupi told Aidan gently.
"Yes, they happy", giggling he said and zipped around the Hall. Ulupi and the other fairies couldn't help but laugh at Aidan's excitement.
As they approached Aidan's house, Aidan fell asleep on Ulupi's lap. She knocked on the door. Aidan's mother opened it, she was extremely happy to see her baby safe.
"Aidan!" she called him softly, tears welling up in her eyes. Aidan, nestled in his mother's arms, stirred slightly but remained asleep.
Ulupi gently placed a hand on Aidan's forehead and whispered a spell to temporarily suppress his powers and erase the memories of all those magical events from his young mind. It was a necessary precaution to keep him safe from future dangers.
"Thank you, Ulupi," his mother murmured.Ulupi nodded.
"I should thank you for trusting me. He'll be alright now. It would be just a peaceful dream for him." Ulupi assured her.
Thank you for bringing him back safely," his father said coming forward,"We're so grateful."
With a final nod, Ulupi bid them farewell and flew back to Fairyland where the giggles of Aidan was still echoing.
