Fairy Character Description
Suddenly it caught my eye again! Feeling intrigued, I edged closer and closer to the faint, white glow, holding my breath as I approached. The menacing trees around me watched, as I struggled to focus on the shape in which the bright ball of light was changing. The forbidden forest had been threatening at first, but as the magic moment happened; I was no longer afraid.
All of a sudden, out of the darkening gloom, she gradually appeared. What was she? I wondered. Never before had I seen such an amazing sight. She was stunning…no…breath-taking, with her golden, rose-coloured dress sparkling like a thousand stars in a midnight sky. Surrounding her was an aura of light, almost like the Northern Lights but much softer and paler. Delicately, the lace edge of her gown swayed with the movement of her body, as she leapt from flower to flower. Each step she took, as light as a feather and silent beyond belief. Her miniscule shoes landed precisely, they were no bigger than my little fingernail!Her thick lilac curls(and plaits)descended beautifully down her slender back and danced to the rhythm of her gentle flight. The wings that carried her were as thin as tracing paper, transparent in colour but edged with the most exquisite, golden, sparkling spirals, which winked at me continuously, as she fluttered in the breeze. Her skin was the palest white, as light as an angel’s, and just as beautiful. Gently, she lifted her face to the sky and I caught a glimpse of her striking, shining, emerald eyes, perfectly almond-shaped and surrounded by long, curling lashes. Her mouth was a tiny rosebud; a slight smile touched her lovely, luscious lips. How could anything be so beautiful? So perfect? This thing couldn’t be real.I knew, without thinking, that she was the most stunning creature I had ever laid my eyes on! Each movement was deft and graceful as she went about her business, in the ever-darkening forest.
After an age of watching, a song filled my ears; adreamy, delightful tune. She was singing! Gradually, I closed my eyes, as her heavenly voice filled my ears and filled my heart with joy. Every muscle in my body ached to get closer to her, to touch her, to trace my fingers along her lacy wings- but it was impossible. I knew in my heart I must stay hidden and enjoy her beauty from afar. Opening my eyes, sadly I knew the moment must end, as her steely gaze held mine. In the blink of an eye, like smoke on the wind-POOF! She was gone…
