Young Mi: "Does everyone know what their role is?"Lilith: "Yes."
Young Mi thought it"d be a good idea to really hammer in our plan. It"s not like we"d forget either because our jobs are simple compared to hers. In fact, if everything goes perfectly, we won"t be needed.
Madelyn: "Yeah."
Young Mi: "Good… remember to be respectful and let me do the talking."
After some time, Young Mi detects something and stops in front of us. We looked around the trees and road. Something zipped through the air and knocked Lilith off balance. It stopped in front of Young Mi and it became a staring contest.
When they said fairy, I imagined something small and could fit in my hand, someone like Tinkerbell. This fairy is way bigger than anything I could"ve dreamed of. She was tall at around 12 inches with long legs and a big wingspan, looking like a dragonfly. She was really green whether it be her skin, eyes, wings, or short hair!
Fairy: "Who are you?"
Young Mi: "My name is Young Mi, blessed one."
Blessed one?
The fairy curiously circled us and we introduced ourselves. She lands on my head where I freeze in place and feel her little hands and feet all over my head.
Fairy: "Are you Nekomata, where are your cat ears and tail?"
Madelyn: "Why would I have cat ears?"
Fairy: "The magic flowing through you is Nekomata! I can tell the subtle differences between all the races… could it be that you"ve been through a contract?"
Madelyn: "I am."
Fairy: "This is so curious! You"re none of the races I"ve encountered before!"
She was very excited to see someone unusual and hops onto all of our heads, figuring out what race all of us were.
Fairy: "Oh! Young Mi"s part Snow Elf and Eastern Demon; Lilith"s Snow Elf and Western Demon!"
Young Mi: "That"s very impressive that you can tell my race by feeling my magic."
Fairy: "You"re also a Wight, your magic feels reserved."
Young Mi stopped and blankly stares at the fairy. The fairy backed up a little, believing she may have offended her until she started to laugh.

Young Mi: "Ohoho~! You can tell by feeling my magic? That"s a first!"
Fairy: "Well, what"s it like meeting a fairy?"
Madelyn: "You"re a lot bigger than I imagined."
Fairy: "Everyone says that!"
She flies off ahead of the road and looks back at us.
Fairy: "Come on! I"ll take you to our Mother!"
That"s phase one complete!
Since the fairy asked us to follow her, I"d say two is also on the way to be completed. At this rate, we"d be done in just a couple of hours.
We let the fairy guide us to the rest of her family. They weren"t hidden deep in the forest as I was led to believe when I researched them. They had a little community that was barely off the road!
It was a decently sized community of 30 fairies all making their homes inside hollowed out trees. They all come out to confront us but they quickly took a liking to us because Young Mi was a Wight and I was human. The largest fairy there was at least 23 inches and the "mother."
It was obvious that she was from the way she looked. Unlike the fairy that guided us here, the mother had this really cool gold, glitter-like substance on her hands, feet, and wings. Young Mi and Lilth tensed up, intimidated, when they saw her.
Mother: "Nova, who are these strangers?"
Nova: "They said they were here to help us."
Mother: "You want to help?"
Young Mi and Lilith we"re both incredibly silent. If they"re like this then I"d have to be the one doing the talking, not them!
Mother: "Can you speak?"
Madelyn: "Sorry, I"ve traced the reported issues on a map and a homestead was in the middle. Are we correct in believing that it has something to do with your people not being able to bloom?"
Mother: "You came prepared! Yes, but none of us can go near it. There"s a barrier keeping us fairies from entering the area. If you can get it resolved, I"d be grateful."
Madelyn: "My friend, Young Mi, is a mage. Please, we ask that you give her the "Fairy"s Blessing" so we can have a much easier time resolving it."
Mother: "If it helps you, I"ll gladly offer my a.s.sistance."
She put her little hands on Young Mi and does a short chant in the Old Language. Young Mi gasps for air and fidgets around as we can see her body start to glow slightly before returning to normal. Her eyes started to glow in a light blue color. I"ve never seen anything like it before and it amazed me.
Mother: "There… it"ll last a couple of hours so you have to go now to make the most of it."
The fairies all go back inside the trees leaving me with 2 flabbergasted mages.
Madelyn: "You 2 froze back there. Are you alright?"
Young Mi: "Don"t you understand how privileged we are to have met their mother?"
Lilith: "This has to be a great stroke of luck. I"m confident that we can get this done now!"
Privileged…
She just came out, talked to us, and blessed Young Mi. I didn"t feel any kind of privilege or surprise aside from Young Mi"s glowing eyes. If anything, we should be surprised that we"re making fast progress on our job!
Madelyn: "Not really…"
Lilith: "Let"s continue our mission and maybe we can finish before the day ends."
Young Mi: "Yes, just let me gather my thoughts for a bit. I have so much magic flowing through me that I"m feeling hyper."
Lilith: "Will you be fine? Too much and it gets bad."
Young Mi: "I know, so let"s hurry."
We continued on our next phase of the job, at the homestead. After we went off the road and closer to our objective, a fog started to gradually build around us. It wasn"t until we got there that we realized something was wrong.
I couldn"t figure it out but something was off about the place like a haunted house. The place was a little run down but some effort was definitely made to maintain it.
Young Mi: "This is the place, Madelyn."
Lilith: "I don"t like this."
Madelyn: "It"s a little spooky."
We all agreed that this place was a little out there. Something was inside that house and my curiosity was beginning to get the better of me.
I came out of the trees and attempted to knock on the door before Lilith frantically grabs my wrist and yanks me back.
Lilith: "Madelyn! Have you lost your mind!?"
Madelyn: "What? I"m going to knock."
Young Mi: "No, get back here right now!"
They can sense something that I can"t. It must be magic-related because it has them freaking out. It slowly started to become frustrating as we"re deadlocked on what to do next.
Madelyn: "Are we just going to watch?"
Young Mi: "Something is wrong."
Lilith: "Very."
Madelyn: "Let me go and knock. The worst that can happen is I get attacked by some lunatic."
Young Mi: "And what if the magic you do have is zapped and you have to fight?"
Madelyn: "Oh… I never told anyone…"
I took self-defense cla.s.ses while I was in University as extracurricular activities. It was never brought up because it feels like bragging when I try.
Madelyn: "I know how to fight."
Young Mi: "Madelyn!"
Lilith: "Don"t be stupid, Madelyn!"
Madelyn: "Relax, guys! Don"t worry about a thing. If something goes wrong, I"ll run as fast as possible."
