“I’m so happy to see you,” she said as she reached to give him a hug.
“I bring word from the immortal realms,” he grinned. “Teague is settled and living with the fairy queen; your friends Gariz and Pronkzie have found their way home, and Nemesis bids you be happy.”
“Tell me more,” she sighed with joy
“Well, the word from the immortal grape vine has it that Yarg the troll is actually a lost prince …”
He joined Bella in gleeful laughter at his ludicrous invention. When they had recovered from this hilarity, he looked searchingly at his friend.
“Are you happy, Bella?” he asked in a serious tone.
“Oh, yes,” she smiled.
Nirb nodded his head. “I’ll be checking up on ye now and then, Fairy,” he said as he tapped his stick to the ground. A bright rainbow appeared just before he stepped into its glowing colours and disappeared.
“I’ll be counting on it,” Bella said to the air.
She stood there long after he had gone, smiling to herself. She had lost her immortality, her magic and her wings, but she had gained so much more.
