Be Bold! Daring!

A festival was certainly what Zarina needed. Her experiments had been proving fruitless and she could use a break. This little fairy needed to clear her head of her frustrations and stress and this festival seemed like the best idea to rid herself of her doubts and woes. As she flew her way through the crowds she remembered how minuscule she was in comparison to the natives of this town. She wondered why she decided to join the crowd of people near the stage to watch the performers. She most likely wouldn’t be able to see a thing so she decided to sneak a bit closer. She found herself basically sitting on the stage right at the edge enjoying the show. Her small stature made it simple for her to see everything while not being in the way of the performances.



Everything was all fine and dandy for the tiny fairy that was until the talent competition began. Zarina was excited and she began to shout, “Oh I got a talent I can show off!” Only for her voice to fall on deaf ears. “Oh..right,” She mumbled to herself. She had forgotten that to everyone outside of pixie hollow her voice came off as that of a ringing bell and with all the jovial cheering and talking she was drowned out in a sea of voices and noises. “How am I supposed to get their attention?” the fairy questioned herself as she began to pace her small portion of the stage. She was quickly interrupted from her train of thought as someone else volunteered to be the first performer, a tall man with deep red hair who seemed to have a knack for fire. Zarina quickly flew off the stage as his performance began. She was too close to the stage and she almost got burnt by one of his flames during his show. Once in a safe place sitting upon the hat of an audience member she watched his talent in enjoyment. Fire was certainly an interesting talent for sure. Maybe she could look into making red pixie dust and have control over fire would be possible. “Hmm would probably need to use a fraxinella flower to get some kind of reaction with the blue dust, but what else?” Her thoughts were once again taken away by the next performer.



“Wait I missed the last guy,” Zarina said aloud before realizing she was in danger. This performance used wind which was fine normally, but they were using strong winds that caused the hat of the person she was sitting on to fly off. She was being literally blown away by this talent that she had to hold on to a near-by audience member by the corner of their outfit. Once she was able to get back in control of herself she held her position tightly as she watched the boy do tricks and even armored himself up. It was quite a spectacle and was very impressive. Zarina wondered if she could learn how he did some of his tricks one day and studied his movements as hard as she could, but just as the man before his performance was over almost as quickly as it started. Though now what? No one else seemed to be going on stage. She wondered if she could try her hand at it. Peaking at her dust collection she figured she could spare a bit for the show. So she flew her way on the stage.



Once at the center of the stage floating in mid-air she stared at the audience and she realized how tiny she really was. She began to wonder if everyone in the audience could even see her. “Well I better give a shot it’s now or never.” Grabbing a hint of her yellow dust she tossed it into the air creating a small poof of dust that fell over her changing her brown outfit yellow. “Here we go!” she said with a small smirk as she flew up high into the stage and angled her hands bending the sunlight. A ray of light shot out and focused it towards the audience where it reflected off the broach of a female citizen and shot back towards Zarina. She used her other hand to grab her sword and circled the light around it till it began to glow. She let go of the original light and charged her blade and began writing with her sword in the sky. Once finished her message said, “My name is Zarina and we are about to have some fun with the elements.”



She sheathed her sword and threw her pink dust in the air this time and it fell coloring her pink this time. Garden fairy talent was the object of the game now. Taking a seed from her pocket she placed it upon the ground and began motioning her hands as the seed grew and grew. Vines and roots covering the stage as the plant took over creating a monstrosity of a plant, but still beautiful in its entire splendor. Smirking she tossed the next color of dust bathing her in a blue glow. Water talent was next and taking the ale from someone’s drink she bend the liquid around the flower creating a ring of ale. Then she took the ring of ale and shot it towards the audience causing it to rain the liquid giving everyone whom had their mouths open a small drip of the drink.



For the final part of her act she would be doing something similar to the past contestant using her purple dust. Tossing that on herself she turned into a purple glow and began to spin and spin and spin. Quickly her tiny form grew and grew into that of a tornado taking small objects and loose hats into her. She was creating her own natural disaster on stage, but keeping it confined to something that wouldn’t hurt the audience. She knew if she harmed them there was no chance she could win the talent show. After it grew to a certain sized she began to fly up while spinning causing her mini tornado to rise into the air. One high enough she stopped suddenly causing the winds to burst out and the debris she picked up to gently float down to the ground. Smiling the young fairy flew straight down to the stage and gave a small chuckle before giving the audience a nice bow. “Hopefully that was enough to impress the crowd.” She forgot her voice was just a bell ringing…
