Off to Fairyland...

It was a dark twilight & the meadows were still, the fairy princess was in a jolly mood. She skipped across the meadows & in to the glens, she spotted a tiny leprechaun sat upon a lonesome toadstool - it was red with little white polka dots.


From the corner of his eye the leprechaun spotted the fairy princess & hopped off from his seat, he approached her confidently. The fairy princess was a little nervous, not knowing what this funny little man was after from her.


As he reached her he opened his mouth to speak, he asked "by chance fair maiden, would you be heading anywhere near the enchanted firey forest? If you happen to be passing would you be so gracious to collect some purple primrose nectar for me, I'd very much appreciate this & will reward you with 50 gold ingots with an added bag of fairy dust"


The fairy princess hesitated before answering the funny little man, she wasn't sure if this was a trick being played on her. After a few strange looks, sizing him up, she decided that he could be genuinely asking for her help & decided to answer... "Yes, I believe I have to pass that way, so it would be easy to take a small detour to help you. Could you meet me by the never-ending waterfall & I will have the purple primrose nectar for you"
The little leprechaun was very thankful, he told her he was going to rest a while to recharge his magic abilities so that he could transport himself to the never-ending waterfall.


He had used almost all his power to transport himself to the glens after escaping from a fierce dragonette that had been chasing him from the rainbows end.
It transpired that he had been attempting to steal her precious egg, this had upset the dragonette & she wanted his blood.


So the fairy princess gathered her supplies, sprinkled a little fairy dust & took off to the skies, flying on the breeze. It took her a good hour of flying to reach the enchanted firey forest, she searched the shrubbery, bushes & trees for what seemed hours & hours, eventually underneath a small laurel she spotted the purple primroses & started extracting the nectar.


It was a long slow process, but she finally managed to collect a small pink vial of the rare nectar & with a pinch more fairy dust she magically disappeared from the enchanted firey forest, ending up at the never-ending waterfall.


She was tired, so she decided to rest a while on a lily pad to wait for the little leprechaun. She felt a sudden rush of extreme tiredness wash over her & then she was asleep... Drifting in her dreamworld, where everything was colourful & full of joy.


The leprechaun appeared beside the sleeping fairy princess & brushed her cheek, she awoke with a startle! When she had composed herself she took the pink vial from her knapsack & handed it to the little leprechaun, he was very thankful & as true as his word gave her the 50 gold ingots & a bag of fairy dust.


He bid her farewell & as she blinked, he had vanished in a green haze... Again she was on her own, ready to continue her journey to fairyland.
