Excerpt
Azra’s senses were overcome with wonder. The miniature
figures flitting about them like the most brilliant of dragonflies, were fairy
children. All had the silvery wings, long red curling locks and amber eyes that
shone as brightly as gold; but their sizes were as varied as the individual
features on each mischievous face.
Some were the
size of the two elderly fairies who escorted them through the throng, others
were as tiny as her hand, while many others ranged the size in-between. Azra
was fascinated by all of them. But the tiny mites who were no bigger than her
whole hand, gained most of her attention. They seemed to represent the fairies
from which legends sprang, in reality; they appeared to be the youngest of the
fairy children. Laughter, giggles, and whispers were a constant barrage of
noise around them as they proceeded.
Many times as they traversed carefully through the tiny
bodies, fairy children would hover in front of their faces like hummingbirds,
their cherub faces merry and curious. More than once, she felt the soft brush
of a silken wing against her cheek, almost as if the children were using their
wings to give them a kiss of hello.
Azra
thought it strange, but very interesting, that
Bretuck had more than his share of female fairies hovering
about his face in a constant, ever-shifting flow of excited, tiny figures.
When they
reached the other end of the valley, a line of impressive, majestic oaks were
at the end of the short trek.
The elder
fairy turned to the flock of children who’d followed them. “Go play children,
you can visit with them later.”
Reluctantly, it seemed, the tiny figures left in groups,
dozens of dazzling bodies flitting off together.

Lines “Remember how you were nestled inside the cocoon, yet you were not part
of
the
cocoon?”
“Once
he was almost lost to her. But, it was not her fairy powers that had pulled him
back from the brink of being damned forever with the Demon curse. Azra realized
the truest truth. It was not magic or spells, nor swords and brawn, which
vanquished the Demon that awful day, but a mother’s love for her son.”
What
a beautiful story! Azra was brutally raped by Hessitor Demon and became
pregnant. She was terrified her child would become Sartwor Demon but, she
didn't care. She loved her child from the second she found out she was
pregnant. When her son was born she named him Bretuck and even though he
had the red eyes of his father he was a beautiful boy with a healers touch and
a good soul.
Azra
is an amazing mother who does any and every thing she can to ensure her sons
safety and happiness. Their journey is not an easy one but, neither give up.
It's Azra's love that shows Bretuck happiness and that just because he has red
eyes doesn't mean he is evil in any way.
I
