Spirited Faye

                It was a day another busy day at school. Through the days, Faye grew tired and bored of how everything was run on their island, but knew she could not leave the orphanage until she was 18. Then after that they dedicate their lives to helping develop and sustain peace and order on their island. It's another normal day and Faye happens to just decide to cut class. she goes past the office and notices that it is empty and nobody is around. Faye steps in and sees that there is a private file inventory unlocked and open. Faye goes up to it and pulls out her scroll which has all her information since she came into the orphanage. Then Faye reads into it and finds out her parents were deceased. she then walks away

                Faye decides to go out for a walk. she goes out very far, far enough to where she almost left the island. She looks out the edge of the island and thinks abound jumping off into death. She closes her eyes and suddenly a spark flies past her and guides her attention to a glow far into the forest. She decides to go to it as it gets darker and darker as she continues to follow this lit pathway. she finds this house at the end of the island. It was abandoned with many trespassing and warning to not cross into it. Faye slowly walks around it, It looks both scary and whim sickle in a way. Faye goes into the house and finds a door inside. the door has a lock, which was unlocked at that point.

                Faye then decides to go through the door and jumps in. She is the transported through a tunnel of forcing colored air and massive speed. Faye ends up in a whim sickle forest traveling slowly and then goes into another atmosphere were she is just in a space. the space is then filled with what looks like habitats all connected like the visual representation of a brains connected neurons. the patterns are all symmetrical in rows forming cubes. This environment then taken disappears and she is flashed into a beautiful forest. she walks this forest which is a continuation of the tunnel which the door lead her into. she looks up and sees the island which she lives in.  the island is closed off and hides itself from the rest of the world. she continues to talk along this path which then takes her into a natural waterfall. she sits down to enjoy the beautiful view and then decides to look up at the sky. looking up she see dynamic shapes begin to form in the sky. Energy glisten and flow from the entire environment. and then begin to energize and highlight the dynamic shapes in the sky. she begins to lie down at this point and just observes up into the sky feeling a sense of bliss and energy. closing her eyes her spirit and energy begin to travel out into the sky. she goes into it and the environment and space continue to change, expand and evolve into new surroundings. she then goes into this tunnel at high spreads as she feels a presence at the other end pulling her in. she follows the voice and then appears in a open space out in the open universe. Then she saw this other portal which has 2 other spirits floating. They had a strong connection which she was then guided towards with a feeling of knowing each other. the feeling of knowing that they were her parents on the other side. Then she woke everything began to go white and diaper

                She awakes up to being carried away from the house. she was held by the godmother and 2 other pixies. she was then taken the gate keepers who ordered then to cut off her wings. they cut her wings off as punishment for having entered the portal. she is then in class listening to a lecture. she opens and sees an eye, and eye into the universe.

2 .Short Back-story:

                The year is 6 million BC, in a parallel universe were fairies roam a planet called "Minoo". The environment and ferries live in a world very similar to our current universe and time. The world is ruled by a committee of elders who have lived for thousands of years and would appear to be most experienced and knowledgeable of the world. The main character Faye was dropped off at a orphanage as a new born. she was raised in this orphanage by a school like system and guided by a godmother who was in charge of the entire orphanage. These fairies are raised until the age of 18 when they are set free as adults to continue life on their own. During their years at the orphanage they are taught morals, skills, and given the love needed to experience a normal childhood as any child would who was raised by parents. The main skill these fairies are taught skills like cooking, planting, engineering, and such.

                from the beginning of Faye's life, she was always healthy and ready to learn. She was a good child and was always on top of her class in performance. By the time she hit her teens she began maturing and wanting to learn more and explore more of what this world offered. Physics, and Art class became her 2 favorite classes because she felt they allowed her to express her imagination. She began to question the theories and laws of her worlds belief system. She would always raise her hand during class and slam the teacher with hundreds of questions when dealing with history.

3. Short narrative

                It's summer time and Faye is going on a field trip with everyone. They are going to go camping for the weekend and she is very excited about it. Everyone quickly heads home to get their belongings so she does the same. Everyone left their bags packed and ready to just pick up and go. She runs up the stairs excited to get in and out of her room. she comes up to the room and begins to reach in her bag for keys. She throws her hand into the small pocket were she usually put her keys and after searching around she pauses. There is nothing in the pocket so she pulls of her entire bag and begins to search it fast and thoroughly while looking down into it. She freezes in shot remembering that she had put them into her locker during lunch at school earlier. She runs outside and flys up to check if the window is open. From the window she sees her bag packed and ready to go at the corner of her bed. She looks over and sees that everyone is already getting in the bus. she looks down at herself noticing what she had on herself and in her bag and just shurgs and flies away to not be left behind.
