The little girl Katie gave the older girl a pine cone, “be careful with this, when you hold it you can talk to fairies” to the older girls amazement small figures started to cautiously come out of the doors in the tree trunks the older girl was unable to see before. There were hundreds of them. The family had lived on the farm for hundreds of years but never knew in their backyard they had a fairy kingdom. There were fairies for wishes, fairies who gathered food and a fairy who gathered teeth. Every fairy in the kingdom had a role, their main roles was to bring in the seasons; their second role to serve their Queen. The fairies had now surrounded both Katie and the older girl bowing. “Who are they bowing too?” Asked the older girl. Katie beamed with joy “to me, I’m their Queen and this is my kingdom”. The older girl saw that Katie had wings, she really was Queen of the fairies and this was her kingdom. Katie was a descendant of many fairy Queens before her, the roll was passed down from parent to child. Katie’s older sister Amy ruled her own kingdom respectively. Katie had magical powers as Queen of the fairies, she had the ability to allow people to see the fairies and could control magic. Katie leaned forward “shh it’s a secret don’t tell the adults, they don’t believe in magic” . Katie took the magic pine cone from the older girl and happily skipped to the house for breakfast. As the older girls hands let go of the pine cone all the fairies disappeared as did Katie’s wings as if it was all a young child’s imagination.
