Dance With Me (Silent Whisper’s)

‘Dance every performance as if it were your last. Dance from your heart and let your passion shine through.’

What is going on? Why is she seeing in this garden? Does it mean she was in a magic garden?

Nora thought as she looked around in bewilderment. So many questions left unanswered.

She tried to come up with a reason why she was here but couldn’t.

As if she was still controlled, she began walking down a part which suddenly appeared in her right side.

As she walk, she couldn’t help but notice the beauty of the garden. Filled with all kinds of flowers, the garden smells nicely and in as much as she wondered where she was, Nora smiled for the first time.

She was so much taken by the beauty of the garden that she didn’t notice when she stopped moving. When she did, she gasped out in shocked and dismay to what her eyes saw.

Right in front of her were plenty fairies, all kinds of fairies, small and beautiful, but something seemed odd with the way they moved. The huge tree they surrounded was lifeless, all it leaves were gone. The tree was completely dried and dead.

Nora moved closer and closer to the fairies that surrounds the tree to check why they all seemed to be floating inside of flying. Once she was close enough, she noticed all of them weren’t moving at all, their eyes where closed as if they were..

“Dead?”

A voice whispered in her ears.

Nora shriek out in fear and almost fell down but quickly stops herself, she looked up but saw no one. Nora looked frantically everywhere but couldn’t see the one who spoke.

“Who is there!?” Nora shouted, her voice echoed around her, she wasn’t afraid, she was just curious to see the owner of the voice.

“Shh, don’t scream out loud, I am standing on top of your head, and no, don’t use your large hand to check if truly I am in your head.” The voice answered in a convivial way.

“Where am I and who am I speaking too?” Nora asked. “At least can I see who I am having this conversation with?” She added.

Nora suddenly find herself staring at a tiny person in front of her, she was flying around in circles. A female tiny beautiful fairy, her wings were blue, her hair blue, her eyes blue, in fact everything about her even the clothes she wore was blue.

“Who are you? Am I dreaming?” Nora asked.

“A fairy like what you humans do call us and no you’re not dreaming.” She answered.

“I know you’re a fairy but what is your name, why are those fairies floating around that tree and not moving like you, and why am I here?” Nora asked.

“My name is Daisy, and yes, those fairies you see are dead. And to answer your last question, you’re here because you have to be here.” The little fairy now known as Daisy answered.

“Is this a magic garden? I mysteriously find the staircase that leads into this garden in my room.” Nora said.

“Magic garden?” Daisy says in laughter and looked around them. “Well it does seems like a garden to you because of the flowers, but this is not a garden but Uprigralon Kingdom, were all kind of fairies lives.” Daisy explained.

“I called it a magic garden because the world I came from, I am blind and can’t talk, and also can’t really hear a word.” Nora explained.

“Is that so?” Daisy asked.

“Yes, that was why I called it a magic garden, in your kingdom I could see, hear and talk like I use to.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Did you have an accident?”

“Yes I did, but I don’t want to remember that accident.”

“Fine by me, so what is your name?”

“I am Nora. Ehm sorry to ask, why are you the only one alive? Were you the one who had killed them?”

“No, my sister did that to them.” Daisy said sadly.

“Your sister killed all these fairies? Why?” Nora asked.

“A long time ago, in the once great kingdom of Uprigralon lived two sister who ruled the kingdom, they were the only fairies dancers in the entire kingdom. They welcomed all types of fairies, Brownies, Pixies, Leprechauns, Elves, Kobolds and every kinds all lived in this wonderful kingdom.

The sisters who loved themselves ruled in oneness and harmony until a Sluagh fairy, an old fairy, paid a visit to the kingdom.

Everything changes as the elder sister became friends with the Sluagh fairy. She exchanged her dancing skills with a musical voice and dark powers. One day, the Sluagh fairy told her, for her to get the most lovely voice, she must kill all the fairies in the kingdom.” Daisy said.

“And this was the result?” Nora asked moved to tears by the story.

“Yes, it is.” Daisy replied.

“If all these was happening, where was the other sister?” Nora suddenly asked.

“She wasn’t around when all these happened, when she came, she was too late in saving her people. Her sister had killed them all and gotten more powers. With her new found powers, she left this kingdom to the world of the human.” Daisy explained.

“If she was the only fairy that was alive, that would means, you’re that fairy, right?”

“For a human, you’re intelligent, yes I am.”

“So what happened to the Sluagh fairy that causes all these?”

“I killed her out of anger. I have this feelings that my sister is out there, somewhere in the human world, but I don’t know where, I believe we will meet again one day.”

“So you are dancing fairy?”

“Yes, the last one.”

“Then can you teach me how to dance, at least when you teach me, you won’t be the last one, we will be two, so what do you say about my suggestion?” Nora asked.

“Well, if you can find your way back here tomorrow night, I will give you an answer, its almost dawn in the human world.” Daisy said.

Nora blinked her eyes in surprise. “But it has not be up to two hours I came down here.”

“Your world and mine are different so is time Nora, try to come tomorrow when it calls on you like it did today, and I will give you an answer, good night.” Daisy said.

And before Nora would reply, Daisy was gone.

She looked at the dying tree and was surprise to see a tree full of life. The dead fairies were no where to be seen.

She find herself going back to where the staircase was. As soon as her feet touches the stairs, she was once again welcomed once again in darkness, the smile that was plastered on her face all though her conversation with Daisy, faded.

Her feet carried her back to her room.

“Her ears are perfectly okay now Mrs Kate, she will start hearing things from now henceforth.” The doctor whom Kate had called for Nora’s checkup, told Kate.

Kate smiled at that news. “Does that mean she would one day regain her sight and voice doctor?” Kate asked, her eyes filled with hopes.

“Maybe, she would regain her sight and voice one day, well that is my prayer for little miss Nora.” The doctor answered.

“Thank you, and one more thing, no one should know about Nora’s existence.”

“I know, I won’t breath a word.” The doctor said and left her house.

Kate went to Nora’s room and entered smiling at her granddaughter. “Nora can you hear me?”

Nora used her Braille words to answer her aunty.

“I can hear you grandma.”
