Onward bound...

So the fairy princess was alone at the never-ending waterfall, wondering if she would come across any pitfalls on her travels to fairyland.


Would she meet any prince's or knights that could save her from the chains the evil hag had bound to her a long time ago?! The chains were heavy & wrapped around her waist, she had found that if she was careful she could just about make short flights with her wings & of course a little sprinkle of fairy dust!


Until she was rid of these chains, she would have to travel by foot most of the time... This was of course the only transport she currently had, unless she could befriend a unicorn to ride or a pegasus to fly on the winds.


She decided it was about time she continued on her long journey, so picked up her knapsack & started to head west in the direction of the creepy caverns... She hoped she wouldn't encounter any dragons, dragonettes, witches, troglodytes, ogres, warlocks, banshees, gremlins, demons, goblins or other evilness.


Merrily skipping along & humming a tune, she paused when she came to the sparkling springs... She knew that their waters had magical healing powers so she got a couple of large yellow vials from her knapsack & started to fill them.


The spring waters sparkled like nothing she'd seen before, they simmered & shined, whilst sparkling & you could see every colour of the rainbow in them... They were truly spectacular & she had no doubt that the healing powers they possessed were great, a few sips would be plenty.


She decided to have a few sips from the spring after filling the vials, sure they were powerful waters... She felt wonderful, full of energy & vigor, this was great she thought & carefully placed the yellow vials back in her knapsack.


Still travelling west, it wasn't long before she reached the creepy caverns - she was sure the healing spring waters had made her travel a lot faster! The caverns certainly were creepy, they were also eerily quiet & shadowy dark, the fairy princess was sure there were eyes watching her from the caves.


Suddenly she heard a piercing screech, followed by another, then another... She turned around & coming out of the caves she saw a group of 3 banshees heading her way, she turned her head back & started to run. She could see a cluster of small trees between the caverns, if she could just get to their shelter she'd be able to chant an enchanted incantation that she had learned when she was a wingless fairy.


Fortunately the powers from the spring waters hadn't worn off, she reached the trees safety with ease & began to chant "eevum, drudium, sanctum, turnium, eevum, drudium, sanctum, turnium"


Just as the banshees were almost upon her, an orange glow surrounded the cluster of trees & the banshees fled... The fairy princess was safe for now.


It wasn't wise for her to stay here the night, so she continued through the caverns & went on to the whispering woods... Now these woods were aptly named, but only during the daytime. At night they were deathly quiet, this was good she would get a good night's rest.
She set up a camp fire & from her knapsack she produced a hammock that she suspended between 2 tall oak trees, there she settled down for the night.
