THE PRINCESS AND THE ANGEL
Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a majestic castle, and inside it lived a young princess named Jaysvee. She was born to the king and queen and was loved by everyone in the kingdom.
One warm summer afternoon, Jaysvee was lying on her soft bed, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about all the wonderful things she had to look forward to. She smiled to herself, knowing that she would soon have her very own fairy friend who would help her to make all the most exciting adventures.
As she lay there, a gentle breeze came in through the window and brushed her hair away from her face. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the trees rustling in the wind.
Suddenly, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and there was her fairy friend, smiling at her.
"Hello, my dear princess," he said. "I'm so glad you're feeling cheerful today."
"I am indeed," she replied. "I was just thinking how lucky I am to have such a magical castle and wonderful friends like you."
"Indeed you are," said the fairy. "And today, there is something even more wondrous than all the magic in this castle. Are you ready?"
Jaysvee nodded eagerly.
"Very well," said the fairy. "Close your eyes and take a deep breath."
Jaysvee did as she was told, and suddenly, she felt herself rising into the air. She opened her eyes and gasped in surprise. She was flying!
The fairy was beside her, and they flew higher and higher, over the castle, over the mountains, and beyond. Jaysvee looked down and gasped. She could see villages and fields and forests stretching out below her. It was like a vast, beautiful map spread out before her.
"How did you do that?" she asked, awed.
"Magic," said the fairy, grinning. "And you are more than welcome to watch. But we must be mindful of your father's orders not to fly too high. He doesn't like the idea of you flying too high."
"But why?" she asked, puzzled.
"Because there are dangers up there," said the fairy. "And some people might not understand magic, so they might not realize that we are not truly hurtling towards the earth."
They flew for a while longer, enjoying the view, before swooping down and landing softly on a nearby meadow. Jaysvee looked around, amazed. It was like she had been transported to a different world. There were streams running through the grass, flowers blooming everywhere, and birds singing in the trees.
The fairy picked up Jaysvee's hand and led her through the meadow. They walked for some time, admiring all the beauty of the place, before they arrived at a huge, old tree.
"This is where I live," announced the fairy. "My home is inside the tree, so you can come and visit me whenever you like."
"Wow," said Jaysvee, smiling. "That's incredible! Can I see your home?"
"Of course!" said the fairy, leading her inside. "But be careful. It's not easy to get inside, but it's worth it. You will see."
"I can't wait!" said Jaysvee, beaming.
Inside, the tree was even more magical than the outside. The walls and ceilings were made of spun sugar, and there were fairy-flowers everywhere. The fairy had a sweet-looking bed and a little table with a teacup and a plate of fairy-cake.
"Wow," said Jaysvee, wide-eyed. "This is amazing!"
"I'm glad you like it," said the fairy, smiling. "Now, let's have some cake. It's always a good idea to eat while we're visiting."
They shared the cake, saying how much they loved it, and the fairy showed Jaysvee around his home. She could see that he had everything he needed, including a wardrobe full of magical clothes that made her feel like a princess.
As night fell, the fairy said goodbye and flew away. Jaysvee sighed, feeling a little bit sad. She knew that she would miss her fairy friend, but she was thrilled to have seen such a magical place – and to have made a new friend.
She went back to her room, feeling quite content – and quite excited about what her adventures might bring her in the future. Her father had warned her about the dangers of flying too high, but she was determined to prove him wrong.
