Embarrassed I replied, “Um…noooo.”
He laughed. “So, we didn’t get to finish our conversation last night.” Misinterpreting his meaning, I blushed. He chuckled and added, “Karli, I was speaking literally, not figuratively.”
“Oh. My bad.” Well, now I feel dumb. I probably would have gotten it in the first place if I didn’t have sex on the brain twenty-four seven.
“What other questions do you have about being a fairy?” He asked.
“I want to know about you and your training. What was your mentor like?”
“Ornessa was amazing.” He replied, completely glowing. “She was like a second mother to me. She had a daughter around my age and taught us about our powers together. She took me in despite my diluted blood, because she could sense the power inside of me. She said it was her responsibility to ensure that I used it for the greater good. She was one of the wisest, most respected elders in Faerie.”
“I wish I could’ve met her. I wish I could have gone there, even just once.” I said somberly.
“I can show you what it was like.” He offered.
“What? How? Fairie was sealed off almost twenty years ago.”
He led me over to the couch and grabbed my hands. “Close your eyes.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Karli, just do it please. I promise you won’t regret it. Take a deep breath and relax your mind.”
I did as he asked and felt a light pressure in my head as if something were willing me to let them in. The blackness behind my eyelids became a blinding white light. When it softened, I could instantly see everything he described the other day. It was unbelievable!
There were small thatch roofed huts with cobble-stoned paths surrounded by a beautiful forest. I saw a woman feeding a deer out of her hand. A pond circled by wildflowers had ethereal little creatures fluttering above it. There were couples strolling hand in hand and children playing with each other. My senses were suddenly enveloped by my vision. I felt a warm breeze on my skin and smelled a wonderful aroma, like gardenias and jasmine. I could feel the unfathomable power everywhere. I felt love and happiness all around me. I felt whole, like nothing I’ve ever known before. It was as if I were standing right there. It was as if I belonged there. It was easily the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
The vision faded and I opened my eyes. Vance was looking back at me with a sweet smile on his face as I felt a tear fall. “How did you do that?” I asked, completely astonished.
“It is a power of the Fae.” He answered. “I was sharing my memories with you, by willing them into your mind. The Fae often communicate telepathically. There is no need for words when thoughts and images can be shared between each other, making everything much more vivid.”
“That’s incredible! What were those little things fluttering above the water?”
“Water sprites.” He replied.
“Water sprites are real?”
He chuckled. “Yes, sprites, brownies, elves, nymphs, even leprechauns. They’re all real. They’re all creatures of the Fae.”
“Why haven’t I heard about this before now?” I asked.
“Probably because they’ve never existed on this realm...with the exception of a few mischievous leprechauns. They never had any desire to leave Faerie. Quite frankly, I don’t blame them.”
“Wow.” I replied. “I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to thank you.”
He reached out and wiped the tear away from my cheek. “No thanks are necessary Karli. You have the right to know where you come from.”
“Why are my powers so weak?” I asked. “Everyone I just saw emanated great power, even the children.”
“You do have great power within you Karli, you just need to learn how to control it.”
“Can you teach me how?”
“Well, that’s something that would take years to accomplish.”
“Oh.” I said disappointedly.
“I’d be more than happy to take on the task though.” He leaned over to lightly kiss me on the lips. When he pulled back he asked, “Are you up to starting now?”
