Magical Charms.

Magical charms.

For years now the fairies have always sent a charm in the form of a small silver locket and chain to all that come to live near fairyland. The charm is to keep all magic away from human beings. Sometimes magic spells go wrong and no human must suffer in any way because of magic spells that have gone wrong. During the period where fairies go to school to learn magic there is always the danger that a young fairy makes a silly mistake.

One example of this was when some thousand years ago or more, one fairy that was supposed to be making a plant that could live In water and on the land over did the magic and a young man that lived near fairyland was turned Into a being that had a pigs face and a human body. The wise old fairies of that time soon corrected the mistake and the young man became is own face again. This is the reason why all that came to live near fairyland were sent this silver chain and locket. Why am I telling you this? Well It Is simple really, there are a group of fairies that have got together and stated that they would not use magic In future.

Thirty fairies belonged to this little group and the news soon reached Queen Feeanna's ears. Her Majesty called the group together and asked them whether they had thought about all of what could happen to them if they did not use magic again. First of all where would they get the food from that every fairy needs to keep healthy? What about the fairy cakes that all fairies love? We know where the bees live and we can always get honey from the friendly bees and as for flowers there are so many flowers that it would be simple to get together enough petals that with the honey make up the fairy cakes. What If you are in danger how will you cope if you do not use magic? We will make sure that we do not get into any situation that is dangerous.

Her Majesty knew that it was no good trying to persuade the fairies and left them to fend for themselves. A new family came to live near fairyland and Her Majesty sent a small silver chain with a small locket to the new family. The family were very surprised to receive such a gift and immediately placed the chain and locket around their child's neck. The child slowly grew and often came into fairyland. At first the child's father followed the child to make sure that it came to no harm. Soon the child was old enough to walk into fairyland on its own, the father did not follow the child any more.

The child a small girl saw the fairies and often joined in, in the fairy games the fairies played. One day the little girl strayed away from the playing fairies. Wandering along the small path that the animals have made along the side of the stream she slipped on a wet stone and fell into the stream. Hitting her head on one of the stones in the stream she became unconscious. The group of fairies that did not use magic any more came across the little girl. Try as they might they could not move the little girl from the stream and out of danger.

Then their leader said, "We must use magic to save this little child." Out of pockets and from the sleeves of their coats magic wands appeared and in a flash the little girl was safe on dry land. Her Majesty knew at once that the group had used magic; the small silver chain and locket had informed her majesty of all that happened on this day so long ago. Her majesty then used her own magic wand and the child appeared safely in her own back garden. The little girl has no recollection of having been in the stream her clothes were dry and it was as If she had never been near the stream. The group of fairies now use magic all of the time and all is well in fairyland.
