“Good,” Falla scoffed. “Then maybe we can finally get going rather than waste more time here.”
“Falla,” Triska growled while holding a hand to her face.
Falla rolled her eyes before she watched a strange blue light whip around her quickly, with everyone taking a step back from her as a high pitched whistle was heard as the blue lights spun around and around the butterfly girl.
“What… what is this?” Falla asked nervously as the lights spun around faster and faster. In a flash a casting circle flared up on the ground below her, with everyone looking down with surprise as it glowed with a bright blue and golden light. However there was something very strange about the circle’s markers that Specca and Alyssa took notice of.
“What kind of glyphs are those?” Specca asked shaking her head.
“They’re not glyphs,” Alyssa said confusedly. “What the heck kind of spell is that?”
Everyone stared at the unique casting circle as instead of having strange letters and ancient glyphs within it along the diagram it had exclamation and question marks lined against the outer ring and three inner ones that were spinning around together.
“What in Eden is that?” Kroanette asked shaking her head.
“Better question, who’s doing this?” Falla spoke up with a nervous whine.
The blue trail of light that circled around Falla suddenly spiraled down into the casting ring, a bright flash shining up from it before a shockwave erupted outward and Falla was launched into the air at high speed. Everyone watched with surprise as the butterfly girl screamed in terror as she was shot into the sky at incredible speed.
“Falla!” Luna cried out while grabbing her hair.
“What just happened?” Daniel asked with shock.
The group then looked down to seeing the casting ring fading away while Pip was standing where Falla had been forcefully launched into the air from, the fairy looking up with a pout while having her hand held up.
“Meanie meanie meanie!” Pip called out in her tiny voice.
“Pip?” Daniel said with wonder.
“Did… did you do that?” Alyssa asked.
“Um, guys?” Triska said pointing up.
Everyone looked up to hearing Falla’s scream getting louder again, with the butterfly streaking down through the air towards them in a wild spiral. Spinning around her were three trailing blue streaks of light, all of them hugging tightly to Falla as she careened towards the ground.
“Sister!” Luna screamed as she held her hands over her eyes while peeking through her fingers.
“She’ll be turned into a red smear at that speed!” Kroanette called out.
“Don’t hurt her!” Daniel cried out at Pip.
The fairy blinked then looked to him curiously before waving her hand slightly. Falla raced down towards the ground only to stop a foot above Pip in an instant, a small gust of wind flowing out from around her as everyone stared at the butterfly girl who was suspended in the air upside down. The three circling blue lights spun about before fading away, with Falla shakily breathing while looking around at everyone with terror on her face still.
“How…” Specca said softly.
“Sister?” Luna nervously asked while lowering her hands. Falla looked to her and trembled while trying to catch her breath, trying to say something that only came out as a hoarse whine.
“Pip, are you doing this?” Alyssa asked carefully.
Falla looked around at everyone while being unable to move then down to Pip as the fairy scowled up at her.
“You throw me, I throw you,” Pip huffed with a stomp of her foot.
“I’m… sorry,” Falla breathed out.
“Meanie,” Pip scolded before sticking out her tongue.
“Pip?” Daniel asked softly, with the fairy looking to him curiously again. “You… you can use magic?”
“Yes, I can,” Pip said with a nod, then looked down to her hand and lightly flicked her fingers one by one. “Only small spells though, small like me. That’s all I can do. No more.”
With a wave of her hand to the side Falla then flew off in that direction with a loud scream, the group watching with surprise as she spiraled towards a tree. Pip jumped then quickly held out her hand towards the girl, stopping the butterfly right away before she slammed face first into the timber. Falla whimpered fearfully and glanced back to the group while everyone watched her being held in place with wonder.
“Sorry,” Pip said with a weak smile. “I didn’t mean to throw you again.”
“Falla?” Luna called out. “Are you okay?”
“Please let me down,” Falla begged while sobbing a little.
“Pip,” Daniel said looking to the fairy with a small smile. “Could you please…”
“Could I please what?” Pip asked curiously.
“Put her down.”
“Oh, okay,” Pip said before snapping her fingers. Falla suddenly dropped to the ground with a thump and a weak groan, the girl then shakily getting back up and looking over towards the group with a nervous whine.
“I can’t understand it,” Specca pondered. “How did you throw her like that? And with such power too.”
“Simple, like this,” Pip replied before she took off flying in a blur, the group watching as the fairy trailed a blue streak of light behind her while she circled Specca again and again at high speed.
“Wow, look at her go,” Alyssa said with wonder.
“Those lights we saw around Falla were her?” Triska asked.
Again the strange looking casting circle appeared below Specca, the blue and golden lights shining brightly while the fairy’s strange emblems of exclamation and question marks lined the inner rings.
“No!” Specca cried out fearfully. “Please, don’t throw me too!”
“Wait, Pip!” Daniel called out.
Pip suddenly came to a halt right in front of Specca, the fairy looking at Daniel curiously while specks of glittering light flew forward briefly from her sudden stop. The circle below slowly faded away while Specca shakily breathed out in relief.
“Please don’t throw any of us, okay?” Daniel requested with a nervous smile.
“Oh, okay,” Pip giggled.
“What manner of magic are you using?” Specca questioned while slowly adjusting her glasses.
“My magic of course.”
“Where did you come from?” Triska asked.
“From my home.”
“How did you fly so fast?” Daniel asked curiously.
“With my wings.”
Squeak squeaked and pointed to the fairy with puzzlement.
“…what?”
“We’re not getting much information from you here,” Kroanette mentioned with a raised eyebrow.
“Aw, but I’m answering your questions the best I can,” Pip pouted while slumping down with defeat.
Falla slowly approached the group before darting behind Luna, the two sisters watching Pip cautiously while the fairy hovered about in front of Specca.
“Okay,” Falla said nodding a few times. “This has been really interesting. Meeting this long-lost fairy and then nearly dying in a crater right where we’re standing. This was fun. Can we please go now?”
Daniel carefully approached Pip, watching as she floated in the air while watching him curiously.
“Pip, are there more fairies like you in Eden?” he asked, with Pip merely cocking her head to the side in question while remaining silent. “Where do fairies like you come from?”
Pip didn’t say anything for a while as she fluttered in place before Specca, the fairy then looking down with worried eyes and shrugging.
“I don’t know,” she softly admitted. “I’m all alone out here.”
“There aren’t any other fairies you know of?” Specca asked. “Your mother? Sisters? Anyone?”
Pip merely shook her head while remaining quiet. The group glanced to each other curiously while Falla kept hiding behind her sister then watched as Pip sighed and
slowly fluttered over towards Kroanette. The centaur showed an uneasy frown as the fairy landed on her breast and sat on it while looking down with a troubled expression.
“I don’t know where they are,” she sadly confessed. “I’m so sad and alone. So very sad and so very alone.”
The group watched her with sympathetic eyes for a moment before she blinked and looked down to Kroanette’s cleavage with wonder.
“Boobies!” she cheered before she dived down in between the soft mounds, with Kroanette squealing and stumbling around while the group watched with surprise. Pip’s legs kicked about while sticking up from the centaur’s bosom, the fairy giggling playfully while Kroanette hopped around and waved her hands near her breasts.
“WAAAH! Get her off of me!” Kroanette cried out with a deep blush.
“What is she doing?” Daniel asked with disbelief.
“She’s really got a thing for breasts,” Specca dryly explained.
“Oh yeah,” Alyssa flatly commented. “I can tell just how sad she really is.”
Kroanette scampered about for a while before she finally reached into her bosom and yanked Pip out, the fairy then gasping for air before giggling at her.
“Hee hee, those are so soft,” she said happily.
“What in Eden’s name is wrong with you?” Kroanette shouted at her.
“Nothing, I’m fine. Why do you ask?”
Kroanette growled heavily at the fairy before Daniel walked over and held out his hand. The centaur glanced to him then reluctantly set Pip down on his palm, the fairy looking to him curiously as he smiled weakly at the tiny monster.
“Pip, listen,” he gently said. “This has been a very… eventful encounter. I’m glad we got to meet you, I really am, but we do have to be leaving now. So we’re just going to go, alright?”
“Go?” Pip asked sadly as she fluttered up in the air in front of him. “But you haven’t given me your seed yet. Pretty please? Just a few drops?”
“No, we won’t be doing that,” Daniel said shaking his head. “I’m sorry, but we really do have to go now. But thank you very much for introducing yourself and letting us get to know you.”
“No fair,” Pip pouted. “I answered all your questions and now you’re just going to leave me, and you didn’t even answer my one question either.”
“Your question?”
“Yeah, I asked you first, remember? You said you were just the worst, and I asked the worst what. You never answered me.”
“Oh,” Daniel said looking down with remorse. “I was talking about myself, and how weak I am.”
“Daniel, stop saying that,” Alyssa pleaded.
“You’re not weak, why would you say that?” Triska asked.
“Because I’m powerless to protect you all,” Daniel said looking around at his girls. “I couldn’t manage to use a weapon like you all could, and even trying again and again with this I can’t get a hold of using any magic either. I’m just the worst guy to take care of you.”
“Daniel,” Specca huffed with her hands at her hips. “Don’t you dare say such things. We love you for who you are and all that you’ve done for us. You’re perfect just the way you are.”
Squeak nodded and waved her hand around while squeaking something, with Daniel watching her with a worried smile before looking down and shaking his head.
“I appreciate that, but I still want to be able to take care of all of you in every way possible. If I could only get a hold of what Alyssa has been teaching me, then maybe I could learn to use even the simplest of magic spells to protect you girls like I wanted to.”
“Daniel,” Triska softly said. “You don’t need to do that for us, really.”
“So that’s what you’re the worst at?” Pip asked curiously. “Not being able to use magic?”
“Yeah, I guess you could say that,” Daniel reasoned with a small shrug.
“Daniel, it’ll be alright,” Alyssa tried to reassure him with. “You’ll get the hang of it eventually. These things take time for humans. You can’t learn how to use magic overnight after all.”
“I could help you use magic overnight,” Pip said holding a hand up.
The group looked to her with confusion as she once again kept her hand up as if wishing to be called upon. After a while she held her arm with her other hand while straining to hold it up higher, with the group watching with blank expressions as she whined and waved her hand around at Daniel.
“Did you hear me?” she asked. “I said I could help you, I really can.”
“Pip, that’s nice you want to help me, but…” Daniel said before looking away with a sigh.
“But I can, it’s true.”
“How could you possibly help him use magic overnight?” Alyssa scoffed.
“I could!” Pip whined while hopping up and down on Daniel’s hand. “I could, I could, I could!”
“How?” Specca inquired.
“First I want you to promise you will give me your seed,” Pip declared while pointing to Daniel with a stern expression. “Promise me that and then I’ll help you use magic tonight.”
“Tonight?” he questioned with a raised eyebrow.
“To-night,” Pip assured with a nod.
“That’s not possible,” Specca said shaking her head.
“Yes it is!”
“No, it’s not,” Alyssa argued. “He can’t be expected to perform complete spells by the end of the day.”
“Yes he can!”
Squeak shook her head and squeaked while pointing to the fairy.
“…what?”
“Alright, you know what?” Triska mused stepping forward. “I’m going to bite here. Are you saying that if Daniel promises to give you his seed, by which he just needs to offer two measly little drops of his semen to you without you having to get physical with him, you will help him learn how to actually use magical spells this very night?”
“That’s right, I do,” Pip agreed with a hop.
“And you can guarantee Daniel will know how to effectively use magical spells before the night is over?” Triska demanded with narrowed eyes at the fairy.
“He’ll be able to use any and all magic that I myself can perform,” Pip explained. “Any other magic besides that he would need to learn how to use on his own.”
Daniel and his girls exchanged doubtful glances while Luna and Falla watched the fairy curiously, all of them wondering if what the tiny monster said could be true. Kroanette scratched her head in puzzlement then shrugged with a smirk.
“Well, I say let her,” she reasoned. “At best Daniel makes substantial headway with his training and only has to offer a few drops of his seed as payment. Couldn’t hurt to have her try, right?”
“It could very well hurt,” Falla argued while still hiding behind her sister. “We have no idea what she’s capable of doing.”
“She’s so cute when she talks though,” Luna said with a giggle. “And she does seem friendly.”
“She nearly killed me a few minutes ago!” Falla yelled out at her.
Daniel looked at Pip carefully as the tiny monster watched him with a curious eye. After a while he looked to his girls, glancing to each one as they all stared at the fairy with obvious skepticism of her claim.
“What do you all think?” he asked, with the girls looking to him then each other.
“Well, perhaps,” Specca reluctantly said. “If she could somehow perform such a miracle at least she wouldn’t have to get intimate with Daniel personally afterwards. She won’t have to touch him at all.”
“She’s definitely got some strange magic at her disposal,” Alyssa mentioned. “Maybe fairies really can do such a thing.”
“It would help out Daniel a lot,” Triska reasoned. “I guess I’d be okay with it if she could really do it.”
Squeak thought hard about it while her eyes darted around slightly, the others looking to her questionably as she took her time before nodding once at them with a simple squeak.
“So
do we have a deal?” Pip asked.
Daniel and his girls looked to each other then to Pip with a nod as Daniel held her up to his eye level.
“Alright, it’s a deal,” he agreed. “But you have to do what you promised first. If you can really back up your words then you can have what you asked for tonight.”
“Yay!” Pip cheered with a hop on his hand.
“Alright, alright,” Triska spoke up while putting her hands at her hips. “You can have your seed from him only if you help him learn how to use every magic spell you know. So get to it.”
“How exactly are going to do such a thing anyway?” Specca asked curiously.
Pip giggled and looked to Daniel with an eager smile.
“It’s really simple. All you have to do is eat me.”
Everyone just stared at her with stunned expressions as the fairy looked around at them with a happy smile, silence filling the area for a good two minutes before Daniel raised an eyebrow as he questioned what he just heard.
“Eat… you?” he carefully repeated.
“Yeah, eat me.”
“Well,” Kroanette mentioned looking away from the group. “This just took a dark turn.”
“He has to eat you alive?” Triska asked holding a hand over her mouth.
“What?” Alyssa said bewilderedly. “That doesn’t make any sense. You would be dead and then wouldn’t be able to teach him anything or even collect his seed afterwards.”
“Why are you smiling about such a thing, Pip?” Specca asked with a disgusted face. “Asking him to kill and eat you, what is wrong with you?”
“Are fairies even edible?” Falla questioned, with Luna merely shrugging as the two watched the fairy curiously.
Pip looked around at them puzzled then to Daniel as the boy was shaking his head slowly at her.
“What are you talking about?” she asked. “How would that kill me?”
“Are you insane?” Triska retorted with disbelief. “How would Daniel chewing you up then swallowing you like food not kill you?”
The fairy looked at her confusedly then started giggling, with the group watching as Pip shook her head while holding her sides from laughing so much.
“What? No no no no, that’s not what I meant! You’re all so silly!”
