Pretty Lights

"I accept," Sargon replied after a momentary silence.

"…" Which was followed by even more silence for a while, but then...

"Yes!" Cheerful voices broke out abruptly in celebration.

'These fairies…' Sargon was a little speechless at this as he looked at the excited five fairies that had first met him as they happily cheered at his decision to stay, and they were not the only ones as Vidia also seemed a little relaxed as she released a breath she was holding and eased her wings that were a little tense.

'Even Clarion?' He mused as he saw the fairy Queen's gaze soften a little bit for a split second before becoming calm, well as calm as she seemed to be.

"Well, that is most excellent," Clarion replied with a gentle smile while nodding at his decision.

With a shake of his head and a smile, Sargon replied. "No, honestly I would like to thank you for inviting me. With my status as a total stranger, I am thankful for giving me a place to stay in this new world. So thank you." He ended gently with a small nod of his head.

This made her smile even more gently, "Your welcome. Now, how about we get back to Pixie Hollow, you can fly with those right?" She asked while pointing at his feathered wings.

With a shrug that caused the wings to also mimic the action, he shook his head in a negative reply.

"I have no clue on how they work, I just got them and even if I had wings before they weren't like these," Sargon replied as he flexed them causing them to stretch out from behind him. They seemed even bigger than they thought they were making his form look even more majestic and mystical even to them.

With a gentle flap, they produced a massive gust that almost made all the nearby fairies and sparrowmen tumble away as they desperately exclaimed out in surprise and shock and did their best to not fall and get blown away!

However, the action had only lifted him up a few inches off the ground, well as small as an inch was to a fairy anyway.

"Oops! Sorry, everyone." He stopped instantly as he landed gently and quickly apologize.

"We're okay." Replied Tinker Bell as she fixed a loose strand of hair that hung from her forehead, the rest also echoed her as they at times had to weather harsh winds and stormy weather just like that gust or even more.

But to be likened to a force of nature made a few of the quick-thinking faires go in a daze at this prospect.

"Cough! Wow, you really need to get a hang of those, they seem very powerful too." Said Clarion as she gently coughed due to the dust that was kicked up, as tried to cover up that fact as well.

'He is something... Perhaps... No! Not again!' She shut down her thoughts as quickly as they came up.

The rest felt the same and gave verbal affirmations at her statement as they got their bearings, Vidia who was alright thanks to her talent and being a little far away was simply amazed at that small display.

'The speed he must achieve with those things... Amazing!' She wondered as she got lost in thought.

"Yeah, I feel like a baby bird that needs to be taught how to use them," He said as he folded his wings behind his back.

If he could roughly estimate the time that everything had just happened with him recreating that world and landing here was not that long at all, it was less than a day!

That's right, he ascended to godhood, wiped out all his foes, and recreated the world in less than a day!

What took three years was getting to the core and but it took a day to devour it and get everything done to now. So even with his boon, he needed time to settle down, adapt, and also heal.

Back to reality, his reply made Fawn's amber eyes burn and Vidia return to reality and snap her head towards him.

"I'll teach him!" They shouted simultaneously. Earning the attention of everyone.

"Err…"

Everyone was dumbfounded at this development, but this was ignored by the two as they gazed at each other with heated gazes.

Fawn being one with a fierce and unyielding attitude immediately flew towards the fast-flying fairy and landed in front of her with a determined face.

"What do you mean you will do it? I am the one with the animal talent and on the count that his wings are like those of an animal, I have the qualifications to teach him." Fawn stated as she looked hard at the grey eyes of the purple-haired fairy who didn't even flinch at this gaze that would have made many fairies and sparrowmen back down instantly.

"Hah! Fat chance, you think he is an animal? I am the fastest fairy alive, have you seen the power of those wings? Being taught by you will make him slow as a tortoise, but with me, he will become the fastest sparrowman alive." Sneered Vidia as she replied.

"Grrr!" Growled Fawn as she and Vidia had their foreheads almost touched, everyone around them could almost feel the air heat up at the tension.

But as things were about to get even more escalated and before anyone could say anything. A hand landed on each shoulder of the two and pulled them away from each other gently as if by magic.

"Wha… Oh, it's you, Sargon." Fawn was about to lash out to whomever interrupted them but was shocked to discover the perpetrator was the one she was fighting to get the chance to teach how to fly.

Or maybe just not to teach how to fly... Maybe a chance to listen to that sweet melody that is his heartbeat, and maybe his scent and maybe his warmth and maybe his... Everything!

'Ahem! Calm down, Fawn! We will have our mating ritu.. I mean bonding time soon.'The animal talent fairy looked down quickly as she tried to hide her inner conflict.

While Vidia on the other hand was facing an opposite reaction to her abilities. Her mind had slowed down to speeds slower than a snail as she saw his face and felt his hand on her shoulder.

Indeed, the one that moved the apart was none other than Sargon, this made everyone instantly wonder how he got even there that fast and silently.

"As much as I appreciate what you two want for me, it would first like to ask whether anyone of you asked me instead of fighting each other?" He asked in a slightly serious tone as he looked down at the two, unknown to him the moment he did so, his red eyes glowed a little for a second but it was enough to instantly intimidating the two for a moment before they lowered their head in shame and slight fear… and something else as their faces turned pink.

"Y-yes… S-ssorry…" Mumbled Fawn as she squirmed a little and looked down as if the ground was very interesting at that moment and time.

Vidia also did the same but in a much lower voice however, it was heard perfectly by everyone.

"Good that you apologized. Next time do be sure to ask how I feel in the matters that involve me and not just dictate for yourselves, okay? And how about you both teach me tomorrow?" Releasing a bright smile, he eased a little as his hands left their shoulders and patted both their head at the same time as he proposed his idea.

This made them shudder at his touch and then look up to see his face which had a radiant glow as they nodded dazedly leaving one to wonder what was going on in their minds right now..

"Good." He answered as he released them and turned around to face the fairy Queen who looked at this all with a small smile and a small look of intrigue.

Not noticing the lost looks of the two behind him as well as Silvermist's actions of touching her own head gently as she saw their blissful looks with a small flash of light in her eyes.

The rest were also interested at what he had also done, there was no denial that it was very interesting that and each time fairies almost argued there was no stopping them in the middle of their heated arguments, and what he just did looked divine in the eyes of the sparrowmen.

Silvermist's thinking however was different, she gently touched her head in a daze for a moment and then looked at her hands for a second before looking at Sargon and the two who seemed a who previously showed blissful expressions at his touch.

'I... I want,'

"Queen Clarion, I noticed that you guys don't seem to fly on your own, but seem to have some strange gold dust that is released each time you fly. And you seem to be covered in the stuff, do you think that stuff can help me at the moment?" He asked, from their point of view it was indeed made sense about all that he just said.

"It's Pixie Dust, and yes it does help us fly and more. I see no reason why we can't give it a try." She then signaled one of the scout talent fairies next to her.

The fairy untied a small pouch ne her waist and gave it to Clarion who then floated towards Sargon.

"A little pinch is all you need." She said softly as she took a small pinch of the dust and gently sprinkled it over his head. It floated down on his body covering him from head to toe under the anticipating looks of the rest and…

And nothing.

The sparkle of the dust on him dimmed for a second and died out the next, leaving everyone confused.

"Erm? Maybe a little more than a pinch?" Asked Sargon with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmm, perhaps." Wondered Clarion as she took a handful this time emptying the pouch and poured it over him. This action was driven by her gut feeling, something about his origins must have been the factor in this. If a pinch won't work, then a handful, if that doesn't then an entire pouch or even pouches.

And that is what they all did! Even Clarion provided from her own form making her glow a little dimmer.

In the end, nothing.

But not totally nothing as well the last pouch was used on Sargon, his body glowed a small dim purple light before dying out.

"Sigh" This made him release a sigh as well as give a helpless smile that was seen by everyone.

"What is the matter sugah? Do you know what is wrong?" Asked Rosetta in a worried tone as her emerald eyes caught this, not like she was looking at him the entire time, of course.

The others also caught onto this and looked at him to answer. To which he lifted his head at Rosetta and give her a gentle smile causing the redhead to have her face and hair match at that moment. With a chuckle, he looked at the rest and nodded.

"Yes, it seems like my wounds have followed me here too. And my body seems to find this Pixie Dust as a tonic to heal me." He replied making everyone realize this point with strange looks.

Sargon couldn't believe it, with his boon he thought he was healed but as he mentioned earlier, everything happened in a very short span of time and he has not had the time to settle down yet.

What was wounded was not his body, it was his soul, but there was no denying that once he recovers at 100% he would be stronger than ever and there seemed to be a way to accelerate the process, yet how much Pixie Dust was it going to take as the amount they used was enough to have three massive ships fly for a day and a half!

This was also realized by them all as they all looked towards him like he was some sort of Pixie Dust devourer, and they also realized one more crucial point.

'If that much only made that little glow, how much is going to make him shine brighter and longer, or even fly!? And another point is, just how strong is he?!'

When they heard him speak of the beings he had to defeat they honestly thought it was at worst a dragon, but even they could defeat that with a little help from their dust, and about the number of fairies in that fight was about twenty or more.

Yet what he took was enough to power 100 fairies for half a day's worth of flight!

What kind of being did their Queen invite into their home?!

However, just then as they were about to suggest something they were interrupted by another guest or more specifically, guests.

More than two dozen tiny blue glowing balls of light suddenly flew towards them like shooting stars at great speed before stopping in front of Sargon instantly.

They jumped, waved, and weaved around him like curious and lively little spirits for a moment, making everyone again stunt at this. Even more so for the Queen who was for the first time so very speechless!

"Pretty lights." Mumbled Silvermist as her eyes reflected the glowing balls and Sargon who was surrounded by them.

The ones next to her nodded as well as they heard her. But there was no doubt that Sargon at that moment looked... Celestial.

"Oh? What are these little fellas?" Sargon wondered as he looked at these things that looked familiar, he was sure that he knew what they were but couldn't place a finger on their identity for a moment as he was still thinking about his injuries. But he didn't think much about them.

And so he stretched his finger towards one.

"No! Sargon don't!" Three voices shouted panic simultaneously at this, instantly startling everyone.

"Hmm?" Was all Sargon could respond before his finger touched the little ball in front of him, and it burst apart instantly into blue dust and attached itself to his hand.

As if a chain reaction took place, the rest of the balls around him did the same and within a blink of an eye he was a glowing blue cocoon, and then without a moment of hesitation, he was shot off into the distance leaving a trail of blue light.

His destination was the direction the balls came from, and that was…

Pixie Hollow.
