I didn’t have the ti to worry about so bell, so I opened a new portal, and this ti ca out in a beautiful forest. Although light shone overhead and there were thousands of lush trees, this place wasn’t actually above ground. It was underground in my dungeon. This entire level of the dungeon had been constructed to house the fairies. As I walked along, I heard the cracking of branches, the rustling of leaves, and the giggles of beauties.
I walked until I reached a place unlike any other. It was a massive bubbling spring, the water shooting up like a geyser the height of a tree. None of that water splashed on anyone because there was a circle of air around it. That air seed to guide the water, causing it to move in strange and unnatural ways. It appeared more like a tentacle of swirling water rising into the green canopy above.
“Celeste, gather the ladies up!” I let out an order.
“Yes, Master!” A swirl of wind appeared before , steadily coalescing into the form of a beautiful woman.
Celeste was as beautiful today as she had always been. She was graceful like the wind and had an air of wisdom as eternal as the wind and sky. She raised a hand and snapped. Her fingers created a crisp sound that seed to bounce outward in a wave. Movent exploded all around us. Fairies let out gasps and cries as they scrambled to attention. Within a mont, the lush forest had beco a cacophony of butterfly wings as countless fairies ca to attention.
Celeste shrank down and then floated over to my shoulder, landing on it casually. As for the rest of the girls, they finally settling into rows in front of us, all at attention and waiting for the orders of their master. Many of these girls could beco full forms just like Celeste, but if they had, there wouldn’t have been enough room in front of the spring to allow it. Thus, they found places on trees and blades of grass. Their wings gave a feeling like flowers and suddenly blood across the entire forest. Of course, the majority of these little ladies were naked, make the place have a springti feel.
“Master may ask whatever he wants,” Celeste said. “The girls will fulfill master’s every desire.”
She ant that too. I wasn’t going to say how I knew that, but these fairies would do anything… with any body part!
I cleared my throat, blushing slightly before announcing in a loud voice. “You ladies are my eyes and ears for the city and surrounding area. As you know, my daughter’s birthday is today. Her present has recently gone missing. Do any of you know where it went?”
It wasn’t just that these fairies got around, and no matter what happened in Chalm, there was a good chance a fairy was close by to overhear it. Fairies were also major kleptomaniacs. I had lost many of my possessions because the fairies stole away my stuff. It was usually articles of my clothing, but in this case, it was a bit more serious of an issue.
The fairies broke into whispering. They seed to be arguing among themselves. I gave Celeste a look and she nodded before speaking up.
“Master asked you a question! Who took the gem?” Celeste’s voice held no-nonsense, and the whispering died down imdiately.
It was very well known that no one could lie around Celeste. She always knew the truth. Also, while Master was kind and the fairies often took advantage of his kindness to act willful, when Celeste put her foot down, every fairy obeyed.
“I’m sorry, my queen. We don’t know!” One of the fairies stepped forward. “We stayed away from the fairy as my queen commanded! We did not see who took it, and it wasn’t one of ours!”
“Seriously?” I let out a sigh.
“They speak the truth.” Celeste declared, causing all of the fairies to let out breaths of relief. “I’m sorry Master.”
“No… it’s fine. I’m going to try Miki. Since it’s a Soul world, she’ll be able to find it.”
As I created another portal, I heard the bell once again. The second bell had rung.
