Magnolia

Magnolia

A Story by Kaitlin Ann


I want to tell you a tale, not any old tale such as a happy go lucky princess nor a gruesome foul story... A tale which will be unbelievable beyond your ears, but don't let your mind fool you, let it be your guide. To where you ask!? Well where all your dreams and thoughts live, your imagination. This tale begins where the first flower grew, the magnolia flower and from this small delicate flower rose something, something very strange and mysterious, a fairy? no, this creature has no wings, A pixie? it doesn't have the ears, well what is it? A human almost like a tiny woman, her bright blue eyes and hair like the orange sky at sun set. It was strange that her skin was as pale as the moon but when she smiled her face glittered like the sunshine.

The lady lifted her right hand and stared right at her palm as if she never had a body before, she whipped her hand away in disbelief hitting the growing flowers beside her, she turned around to see what she had hit and before she knew it a small winged creature arose from the growing bulb. The creature was furious from the lady disturbing it, it had crooked wings,  dark brown leaves wrap around the body which did not look good, it was very skinny, you could even see the large cheek bones, poor thing it must almost starved to death, But did not stop complaining to the woman. The woman was not frighted by this small cooked creature, it only took a second to stare into its big black eyes and made it quiet, The woman ask politely 

"Now what is this small creature's name"?

And with a rude reply"Well lady! First of all I'm a fairy! And I have not a single name since you have awoken me from my growing phase!"

The woman put her two palm's together to let the fairy rest in her hands. 

"Well then I shall name you" she brought her head right down to the resting fairy "I name you Alpa, meaning little but very strong hearted."

The new named fairy remarked "Thank you, but what am I to call you?" The woman moved her head away from the fairy and stared into the distance and smiled.  "Name me from where I have rose, from the snow colored flower, Magnolia" And started walking slowly forwards. This was the start of nature, this was the start of Mother Nature's story.

Lovely and adorable story :) A joy to read ~

Some notes:

"something very strange and mysterious, a fairy? no, this creature has no wings, A pixie? it doesn't have the ears, well what is it?"
"no" isn't capitalized, while "A" is. (should be the opposite)
Perhaps italicise "a fairy?", "a pixie?", and "well what is it?"

"it must almost starved to death, But did not stop complaining to the woman." - "But" shouldn't be capitalized.

" and made it quiet, The woman ask politely" change "ask" to "asks" and "The" shouldn't be capitalized, also the speaking part that follows doesn't have to be split from the paragraph.

"The new named fairy" perhaps change "new" to "newly"

" And started walking slowly forwards" it's strange to start a sentence with "And", perhaps change to "She" or even her name.

I really enjoyed your story. In particular, the revelation at the end "this was the start of Mother Nature's story". Great job. Keem 'em coming :)
