She’s Here

There are two very powerful fairies,

That exist in this world.

One is the Fairy of Light,

Who brings people their dreams,

By sprinkling them with her sleeping powder,

And giving them the chance,

To enjoy their fantasies.

The other is the Fairy of Darkness,

Who guides people to their destiny,

Making them come face to face,

With what is really meant to be.

On this particular night,

I do nothing out of the ordinary.

I eat my dinner,

Get ready for bed,

And soon I hit the lights,

Ready for a visit,

From the Fairy of Light.

Tonight though,

She doesn’t come.

Instead I am roused awake,

By a figure standing ominously over my bed,

Staring down at me with piercing grey eyes.

Eyes filled with the knowledge,

Of what is to be,

And what is not.

My body is shaking terribly,

As I know my time has come,

To face my reality,

My destiny.

A soft voice fills the room,

“Do not worry child,

I am only here to show where you were always meant to go.”

I gulp,

“But what if I can’t handle it? What if I fail?”

A tinkling laugh,

“Oh child, do not think of such things.

You will be fine, trust me.”

I take a deep breath,

Then ask the important question,

“Oh Fairy of Darkness,

What will my destiny be?”

“All you have to do is save the world from its impending doom, my child.”

And she had told me not to worry.
