My first voyage at sea…I experience a sense of excitement mingled with fear and some small voice of hope…
Previously I have always flown where I wanted. My golden wings have been able to carry me over the rainbow, above the clouds, to lands and places no living mortal has ever encountered….unil now. I have fallen in the worst possible way: I have fallen in love! But even worse: My love is a mere mortal man! When I told my mother, Talissa (Queen of the Faerie Folk), about this situation, she told me to go on a voyage of the heart, to see if I would be able to live amongst the mortals. So I donned my beautiful spiderweb cape, to hide my wings and radiance, to become Earth bound… at least for this voyage.
To console me I brought a bag full of treasures:
“My ball, my fan, my pot for tea.
A sparkly blue egg I found beside the Wisdom Tree.
My unicorn whistle, a pearly shell.
A poem to leave on a windowsill.
A bug, a box, a book, a wand.
A ship that will sail on a mirror pond.” (Fairy Dreams)
I also have some pictures of my previous image, worlds I have seen, my family and friends. At this momentous occasion I am looking at how I looked before this day, and I can’t help but wonder: Will this mortal man be worth it?
An image of me when I still had my wings...
