Flame no one, children
For the hour of Mægfæge is not your burden
Free yourselves of your mother Mayfairy
For the princess past, is no longer Amerie

Light
Orbs of light flurrying out a dead two tailed tiger. Their movement raises the heads of two girls in the once foggy marsh. Once, because the foggy now dissipates for a sunrise and sunrays to grace the devastated pools. Earth split, sunken or rosed unnaturally, roots and vines sprawling like tendrils of a great beast, with ashes flying together with the orbs of light. Fireflies, they are, from the dead two tailed tiger these children sit on top of.

“Ipos is nowhere” returns a silver haired boy who looks up at the pink haired girl, “What to do?”
“We ought to find him,” Rises the pink haired whose eyes are fixated on fireflies, “But first we have to address our absence.”

“It’s slowly coming back to me” slouches the green haired girl, “Sis Real…Sleep is required for the best…”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxynisBejU
“Do not drowse yourselves” Real extends out tendrils of light from her back and wraps her two siblings close, “But it is the effect of his barrier that he long instructed to take our memories.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Huq6meRv
“Then, why is sis not sleepy?” yawning before the girl mentions her own name, Zephyr.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF3TC0OR1A
“I had Ms. Real”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZrvZ6unJU
“Alternate personality disorder” jokes Haures as he shakes his head and worriedly wonder about Ipos.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7VFKAuaF5
“Gods hope that he was not left behind” Zephyr says, tapping the tendril of light before it gently puts her down.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7pDYM3vAI
“Let us worry him later.” Real glows her eyes before clothes fitting for the theme of spring covers their bare bodies. “This should do, come on. We need not miss or be absent for her again.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9VjMGbHI0
“Wait, we go somewhere?” Haures asks as he tries to unbutton his floral polo but the buttons will not undo or break,
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9qVOrzxh8
“You only need to look up and know what the matter is.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXtRP1COS7
And the two youngers look up at the grey clouds that only cover Fogsight fort.

“Those are Nautrens…” counting the numbers but Zephyr can see that they are all huddled together like prisoners, “What happened to them?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5eMsEXnu5
“I felt the final hour of Mægfæge yesterday exactly when the barrier shattered. And I do not know about the Nautrens but I felt the princess called us.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8kIgIBXqE
“What do you mean?” Haures’s dumb muscles cannot understand as he stretches,
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1yLICDRG
“My hairs do feel smarter with how they want me to walk towards there. Like, they are trying to control that which is greater than them!”

“Enough theatrics,” Real says as she drops the mist and the trio taking their curtain call.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz8BuoGCyR
Sprinting as fast as the speed of color—disappearing for a moment into bands of light---before appearing with kneeling a single knee before the giantess. Their presence shocking Peacock and Isaac, as well as the audience at Fogsight Fort that slowly spill out of the crowded structure. The trio do not say anything as the frigid downpour heavy on their shoulders. A sorrow that cannot be reflected on muddy soils in the faint stench of death. The sight alone of an undead wearies their hearts to sink down their stomach.

One figure’s figure in the grey fog, claps and comes from a familiar tower that Amerie recognizes as her own. One lord magister who rose the foggy curtain and let it drop to a performance he simply had to clap. The sights do not appeal to him, naturally because of Isaac and Peacock together with the giantess, all the death that surrounds them and—craning his aged neck up—the wailing Nautrens in the sky. “Drop the fog, Real” he commands but sure enough, Real is unmoving and playing deaf,
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnmcQLdg7Y
“Clear the way Real,” Amerie commands in a softer and gentler tone, that of a mother who wished to take care of her children but can only feel their tears straining her. “Zephyr and Haures can help clean up with the Kinguin soldiers, if you two would be kind”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwqli6G7V
“Faringly, Princess Amerie” the duo says before disappearing to vines and ash. Real stands up for her eyes to glow pink, seeing the entire Kinguin in her head as a bird. Raising her hands before slowly dropping curtain. And the sunrise peeking behind mountains graces sunlight in between the dark clouds and muddy ground. That which puts Amerie on a sunspot and few individuals at Fogsight fort.

Which baffles the common folk and the high-royals coming out with their umbrellas. They hear and now see the lord magister clapping, and they themselves find no reason to be clapping as well. Some cannot bring the strength to their weak arms, with their glintless eyes that only saw death of yesterday’s performance. Fogsight fort’s clap and Ober’s mingling to a thunderous ovation. With the rabble sitting around Amerie thinking that she is also an audience. All before the lord magister raises his hand and ask for everyone’s attention.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiYe6AVhEF
A broad smile stretching across his face as he sees everyone huddle around Amerie as if she is a common folk. While the high royals, and the three princesses stand on the side.
“My esteemed colleagues, honored guests, and everyone, though we have a sombering cloud above us, those who played a role in bringing the spectacle of Mægfæge to life - I congratulate you on a truly magnificent achievement. Yesterday night’s performance was nothing short of ground breaking, spellbinding and ‘lively’. Your music soared to dizzying heights that the Nautrens heard them, the dancers twirled and shambled with unearthly grace—beautifully done so with your joining, and the illusions such as the giant undead, dazzled even the most discerning of eyes.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVdBBl4uz4
I witnessed gasps of wonder and tears of joy among the captivated audience. They were transported to their realm of fantasy, some experienced struggle while others sought after revelation and salvation. New life indeed through the chaos! And give yourselves a pat in the back! With yesterday’s grand performance, the story of Mægfæge was rejuvenated and transformed beautifully by the people. This singular vision could only emerge from the combined talents of the most gifted virtuosos in the land.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQntAmaxVO
The stalls were no less nor more than perfect. Every which you enjoyed and offered fruits will help the princess in their chances of becoming Mayfairy!
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZw3uIb0e7
To the musicians, dancers, singers, illusionists, and every performer—that which was all of you, who poured their passion into each scene - I offer my deepest gratitude and applause. To the directors who guided them with exacting brilliance, the sorcerers who wove the otherworldly atmosphere, and the artisans who crafted each exquisite costume and set piece - you have my eternal thanks.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTBJEO5jAK
Now, I believe three of our shining Princesses have prepared some words to mark this momentous occasion. High Princess Giza, Princess Thean, Princess Rumen - please come forward. As per challenge rules, the length of your speeches will be determined by the overflowing bounties gracing your stalls. "
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lkc3IakbN
He gestures to the three princesses, before saying that Giza will take five minutes, Thean takes three, and Rumen only one. That which the youngest argues and burns an innocent old lady—just for jokes, “I won’t take it seriously, so you shouldn’t to” she says.

Princess Sol watches from her Fogsight fort walls, once again making conclusions in her head about what will be the ending of this closure. Her one-eyed owl perching on her shoulder, saying to expect the unexpected. “True, I bet the days coming will be even wilder than this.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt4psRntf0
Meanwhile, Isaac and Peacock sit next with Amerie who looks like she is about to bore herself to sleep as minutes pass in waiting for the stone princess to speak. The boy glances at Real who watches with unblinking eyes, and he expresses concern only to be told, “We are in enemy territory, hush”, Looking like she might go mental and schizo.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXMHouJNT
Peacock, well, he “cocks…so they going to pick Mayfairy now?” flapping his confused wings about what so Mayfairy happened in the last few days they were in. Nonetheless, they all watch as the stone princess breathes in and out, opening her to lips to say.
