Cedar and the Quest for the Fairy Feast

~PART 1: Cedar~

Summer on the Mainland was almost over and the Never Fairies were getting things ready for autumn.

Cedar, a forest-talent sparrowman loved autumn, it was by far his favorite season. No others could compare. In fact, he oftentimes slipped away to the Autumn Meadows to wander the Autumn Forest and admire the beautiful work of the garden-talents that painted the leaves shades of orange, red, and yellow with splashes of pale greens. Forest-talents far and wide would have to drag him back to his duties; which was tending to the truffles, finding safe passages through thick woods, and leading animal-talents to injured animals in the wilderness. Other duties included making sure the trees grew healthy, strong, and big; as well as to forage for rare ingredients for food supplies.

Since it was almost autumn, the Never Forests had special fruits and vegetables that only ripened in fall -- even in Pixie Hollow, where all the seasons melded together in harmony.

It was Cedar's duty to find one particular rare delicacy: the Never Squash, often called Pearl Swans by the baking-talents since the vegetable resembled a white swan with a pearly sheen. They were easiest to find when it was dark, making it dangerous for other talents to venture into the forest to gather them. And so forest-talents were called in.

Forest-talents knew every nook of their wood, they knew the best paths to take and always found what was lost; be it animal, fairy, or object.

"Cedar! Cedar, are you there!?" a voice came to the forest-talent's ears.

"I'm here!" Cedar called back. He flew where the voice came from. "Hey, Hawthorn. Do you need something?"

"Shh! You're not to call me that anymore, remember? I'm the Minster of Spring now."

"And so what am I supposed to call you? Minister of Spring? Way too long. Minister? Spring? Come on, help me here, Hawthorn."

The young Minister of Spring sighed. "All right, you can call me...Hyacinth." He touched the crown of hyacinth flowers on his head.

"You're no fun now that Ree has appointed you the Minister of Spring," Cedar said.

"I've always been devoted to my work," Hyacinth said. "And I'm here to get YOU devoted to YOUR work. YOUR talent. And that's to go into the Silver Trees Woods to gather Never Squash. It's a very important job." Hyacinth got excited, then, "There's a new baking-talent named Dulcie and she can make the most amazing desserts, even out of ingredients she's never used before. I'm looking forward to the Never Squash pie she plans to make for the Fairy Feast.

"So! Let's make our way to the Silver Trees!"

Cedar laughed. "Well, if you put it THAT way."

~*~

The two friends left the Autumn Forest for the more dull-colored Silver Trees Wood. Hyacinth left Cedar at the entrance, as the sun set over Torth Mountain; naturally it was too dangerous for the newly-appointed Minister of Spring to venture in, even with a forest-talent as a guide. It would only slow Cedar down, and the sparrowman was already slow at his duties.

Though the Silver Trees looked dark and scary, Cedar didn't hesitant a moment. No matter how creepy a wood was to other Never Fairies, any forest was home to a forest-talent. They were born with a knowledge and understating of the trees and plants.

~*~

The Silver Trees Wood was, in truth, a beautiful forest; with silvery-gray trunks and silvery-blue leaves. When a full moon shone upon it, the entire wood glowed -- like the moon itself.

Cedar nimbly made his way through, scanning for the gleam of a Never Squash; sometimes he found pools of them, looking like fairy-size swans in a lake.

But nothing so far. Where could all the Never Squash be?

Well! Cedar knew of ONE spot in the forest that yielded a great amount of Never Squash every harvest time.

Cedar sped through, now, dodging trees expertly; trailing pixie dust as he passed.

Almost there, he thought.

He burst into the glen where he had playfully dubbed Swan Lake, expecting to see little pearly swans swimming in silvery moss-green leaves and vines.

He DIDN'T expect to see a shadowy figure consuming the very last Never Squash. It was HUGE. Pirate-size! WAS it a pirate? Cedar couldn't tell, it was much too dark. The figure glanced the sparrowman's way and started to advance toward him.

Gasp! Cedar uttered a cry and flew off, scared and confused. He asked the trees that he passed if they knew who the stranger was, but none could say.

Maybe it was the fabled Never Beast! Cedar only knew it as a storytelling-talent tale, a monster of thick fur; large claws; and sharp teeth. He terrorized Pixie Hollow long ago and almost destroyed the great Home Tree. The tale went on to say that the Lost Boys, with the help of Peter Pan, scared it away. But had it returned to Never Land...?
