40 Fairies and Their Powers

Li Ming was looking at the pixies who were busy in changing her back garden into their new Pixie Hollow.

Alvina had requested her to help them find a safe place to stay. Li Ming knew that no place in the outer world was safe for pixies and she couldn't make herself leave them in danger knowing that they wouldn't last for too long.

That's why she decided to bring them with her into the mansion.

After asking for at least tenth time if they need anything else, she finally decided to return to her search of spiritual herbs.

Since Snowy remained with the pixies to help them with their work, Alvina decided to accompany Li Ming on her search.

They looked for some time but couldn't find many herbs. After searching for a while they finally reached near a stream.

Li Ming found a big rock and sat down. Alvina flew on her shoulder and sat down.

"Don't you think that something is not right with this whole place?" Alvina asked as they both observed the flowing water of the stream.

"You also feels this way?" Li Ming asked with surprise.

"Ummhmm....!" Alvina nodded her head in answer.

"I also thinks the same. I mean it's a vast land with such large amount of trees, plants and all. All these things are perfect for conserving a large amount of spiritual energy and trapping it in this place. But in reality this place has the least spiritual energy out of all the mountain peaks of the Han Empire. I just don't believe that this matter of lack of spiritual energy is as simple as everyone thinks." Li Ming said. She looked deep in her thoughts as her eyes were locked on the clear flowing water of the stream.

"You are actually right. This is not natural, rather there is something in this place which is sucking away all the spiritual energy from this place." Alvina said as she flew towards the stream and brought water in her cupped hands.

She offered the water to Li Ming who chuckled but declined.

"Why do you say so?" Li Ming asked Alvina as the little fairy again settled down on her shoulder.

"I'm a Garden Fairy. We have special relationship with all things that grow from the earth. We can sense what a plant needs and have an intuitive understanding of how to help it blossom & grow. We can also work with insects like - earthworms, ladybugs and honeybees. Because of my this special relationship with nature, I can tell that the lack of spiritual energy in this forest is not natural." Alvina answered.

"Wow! That's cool. Are all the other fairies same as you?" Li Ming asked with curiosity.

"No. Only Lily and Iris are Garden fairies like me. Clank and Bobble are Tinker fairies. They have special abilities of creating or inventing new tools. They are also good at making pots and pans."

"Beck, Fawn and Terra are Animal fairies. They have unique ability to speak with any animal in its native tongue. They are extremely sensitive & can read an animal's thoughts or emotions. They know when an animal is frightened or sick and can tend to it's needs to help it feel better. They are also very skilled trackers."

"Bess, Quill and Scarlet are easily inspired to do portraits. They are art fairies who sculpt statues, paint portraits or just plainly any simple sketch. Back in Pixie Hollow, when it comes to changing the seasons, their group of pixies are the ones in charge of painting the flowers, butterflies, bees, ladybugs & many other things."

Alvina stopped for a moment as she thought about those beautiful moments back in Pixie Hollow. Then she shook her head like she wanted to breakout of her dream and continued.

"Rani, Silvermist, Tally and Humidia are Water fairies. They can manipulate water in astonishing ways. They mold it like clay, make it freeze or boil, or can create powerful waves in puddles and ponds with just a flick of pixie dust. They can also seek out hidden sources of water and can make bubble messages, which burst open only for the fairy who is meant to hear them."

"Ginger, Dunkin, Dulcie and Mixie are Baking or you can say Kitchen fairies. They can make the most delicious food ever."

"Vidia and Wisp are Wind fairies. They can manipulate the air or wind according to the situation they want."

"Luna and Sparkle are light fairies. They glow brighter than any other fairies, as you have already seen. They control light and direct the rays of light where they want it to go. They also provide light to the fireflies."

"Ellery is a music fairy and the last member of our group Hem, he is a Sewing fairy." Alvina ended introducing her group.

Li Ming was seriously impressed. These tiny little fairies were really talented and smart. They were also very cute.

"Wait! That blonde fairy is an Animal fairy, right?"

Alvina chuckled and then nodded her head, "She's Terra. And since she was an animal fairy that's why Snowy feels closer to her than anyone else."

"Now, it makes sense why Snowy is so obsessed with her!" Li Ming said as she thought about the little fur ball following that blonde everywhere.

"Haha! Don't worry, he loves you the most. Although you two pretend to hate each other but the love between the two of you is as clear as day. You are the best master he could ever have and he is the perfect familiar for you." Alvina said with a little smile.

Li Ming smiled softly as she heard Alvina's words.

"I know. He's so special and adorable. It's just he gets on my nerves and can irritate me to death."

Alvina looked at the half happy and half irritated expressions of Li Ming and said, "I can understand that he can be a little irritating sometimes."

"Not sometimes but nearly most of the times and he loves to curse me!" Li Ming said as she stood up and dusted off the dirt from her dress.

After look for sometime more they found few herbs near the stream and decided to return back to the mansion.
