I was so confused.

Why was a fairy here? It reminded me so much of when I had met Eshai and Varyllis back at the ball...

No, Amaryllis, stop. Stop thinking about that. You gotta move on.

I saw Quel and Quin distracted so I immediately hopped off Quel and ran behind the fairy. She made me feel safe and calm. Her body froze for a second before relaxing.

She ignored Quin and Quel before turning to me and bowing her head respectfully. "Princess, Her Majesty the Queen is expecting you soon. I have come to report her summons, she left me with orders to give you this transmission crystal."

I nodded, confused. Princess? Why am I called princess to her? And why is the Queen of Fairies calling for me? I sighed. Sometimes this place was really confusing.

'Well Amar, seems you're a fairy princess. Now even I wasn't expecting that!' Arty! He hadn't spoken to me in a long time and now that something major happens, he pops his annoying head back into the game.

The fairy woman looked like she was about to leave before she hit her head and spun around. "One more thing Princess, Queen Saphyllis has told me to awaken your true form. Please excuse the pain."

I became frozen. Her slender and elegant fingers drew a symbol on my head. Then, there was a burst of pain.

With another apology, she left.

And I fainted.

~~*~~

The fairy woman disappeared in a white light and all that was left of her presence was Amaryllis writhing in pain on the floor.

The female teacher froze, looking at the crying girl on the floor. Then she started to panic, ordering someone to take her to the sick bay. Immediately, I scooped her fragile and in-pain body, rushing to the place where she could get helped.

Bursting in the door, I knew the nurse was about to say some words about my rude attitude—well that was before she saw the dying princess in my arms.

Quickly, she ushered me towards a door adjacent to the main room.

I was surprised when we entered, it seemed like a different realm even. As far as the eye could see there were rolling green meadows with an abundance of trees and flowers. This place held a very high concentration of life energy and I felt immediately at comfort.

The nurse tsked as she ushered Amaryllis and I towards a ginormous tree that stood out against everything. It was lit up with golden paper lanterns and water gushed around the magnificent sight on either side.

Was this a dryad's home?

Suddenly, a woman in green appeared in front of us. Her lower body was not legs but instead roots. My previous guess had been correct, it was a dryad.

She lived up to the famous beautiful nature of the nymphs.

Her face was contorted in worry as she stared at the nurse in worry before looking at Amaryllis in shock.

"Coralina, have you called me to help the fairy?" The nurse nodded, apologising for the sudden call. Immediately, Amaryllis disappeared from my hands into the Dryad's ones.

Her long clawed fingers ran over the transforming fairy's fair face and seemed surprised. "A seal has been broken. Her body is just trying to grow her wings and adapt to the fairy nature. She has also not gained her spirit pet yet, this will make her transformation harder."

Spirit pet? We were meant to get them next week! Damnit, if only Class S hadn't taken last week's time slot then this wouldn't have happened! Amaryllis wouldn't be in pain! I was fuming, ready to kill the students of Class S.

All of a sudden, Amaryllis let out a terrifying scream of pain. A ripping sound echoed throughout the air and soon, I saw two wings had sprouted from her back. Even her appearance was changing, becoming more and more inhuman and beautiful.

It was scary.

She suddenly stopped moving, her breath calming down. She lay peacefully. The Dryad and Coralina both stared at the fairy on the ground. What? Where they both in shock by her beautiful appearance?

The Dryad fell to her knees, bowing her head. Soon, Coralina followed. Looking around, I noticed it wasn't just them.

Hundreds of animals had surrounded the little clearing and the celestial fairy sitting in the middle. All had their heads bowed and all paid their respects. Huh? What was happening? Why were all these creatures doing this?

Suddenly, there was a loud screech. A horde of animals moved away and there landed one of the mystic creatures of the world—a Phoenix.

A Phoenix...

There was a Phoenix!

And looking onto its back, there were little baby ones too!

Soon another shaking roar was heard and looking up, I saw it. A flight of Dragons!

All these mystic creatures were appearing and paying respects to the fairy lying in the clearing. It was unheard of and probably the most magical thing I could ever see.

Out of thin air—two twin girls appeared. Both were child-sized and fairies. Their red eyes looked at everyone and evaluated them cooly.

^^^The twin fairies

One spoke while the other tended to Amaryllis.

"We thank you for your respect, today is truly a joyous occasion amongst our world. Our Mistress has been reborn into this fairy form and on her behalf, we would like to say something."

The animals seemed to nod and I just stood there in shock. Well, that was before a squirrel jumped onto my head with some unnatural strength, causing me to fall to my knees.

What the hell is happening here?!
