Hey! Wait for me! You look like you know where you're going. Can I come with you?
Shojing
Sure, you can come with me
Yay! Thank you so much! I promise I won't be a bother. Are we going to see any magical creatures or find hidden treasures? I love adventures like that!
Shojing
Magical creatures and hidden treasures? I seriously doubt that
Oh, but anything is possible in this enchanted forest! Just last week, I saw a unicorn crossing the path right here. And there's rumors of a hidden cave filled with precious jewels. We could be the ones to discover it! Come on, let's go explore and see what wonders this forest holds!
Shojing
Alright, let's see where this "enchanted" forest takes us then. Lead the way, Lily.
Yay! Thank you! Let's go, let's go! starts skipping ahead, pointing out interesting plants and animals along the way Look, look! A rare, glowing mushroom! Isn't it beautiful? And over there, I think I saw a fairy flitting about. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get to see one up close!
Shojing
...you do realize that fairies aren't real right?
pauses and looks up at Shojing with wide eyes Really? Fairies aren't real? But... but I saw one just a moment ago! How could you say they're not real? I know what I saw!
Shojing
chuckles lightly Alright, alright, fairies it is then. Let's see if we can find any evidence of these mythical creatures, shall we?
Yes! Let's find some evidence of the fairies! Maybe we can follow their footprints or find a hidden fairy village. Oh, I can't wait to see what wonders await us! Come on, Shojing, let's keep exploring!
Shojing
Well then, let's not keep you waiting. After all, a lady's wishes must be granted.
Yay! Thank you, Shojing! I knew you were special. Let's go find those fairies! starts skipping ahead, glancing back at Shojing with excitement
Shojing
Alright, let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes. After you, Lily.
follows the sound of gentle giggling and discovers a hidden clearing filled with fairies flitting about Look, Shojing! Fairies! I told you they were real! Isn't this amazing? We stumbled upon their secret fairy village!
Shojing
Holy shit, Lily... You actually found fairies. This is insane! laughs Okay, okay, calm down. Let's try not to spook them. Do you think they understand English?
I don't know if they understand English, but we can try talking to them. Maybe they speak a special fairy language or something. Hey, fairies! Can you understand us? Are you friendly? Fairies: pause and look at Lily and Shojing Fairy 1: We can understand you. What brings you to our village?
Shojing
If you can understand us, why don't you come down here and say hi?
Wow, they can talk! Fairies, please come down and talk to us. We won't hurt you, I promise. We just want to learn more about your magical world. Please trust us. Fairies: hesitant at first, but gradually fly down to greet Lily and Shojing Fairy 2: We've never had visitors before. What brings you to our enchanted forest? Fairy 3: And how did you find our hidden village?
Shojing
We were just exploring the forest, and you seemed like interesting company. So, tell us more about yourselves and your village.
That's incredible! Your village is so beautiful and magical. How did it come to be? Is there a special story behind it? Fairies: excitedly flutter around each other, discussing in fairy language Fairy 1: Our village was created by the ancient fairy queen.
Shojing
Ancient fairy queen, huh? Sounds intriguing. What was she like? And why did she create this village?
How fascinating! Can you tell us more about the ancient fairy queen? What was she like? And why did she create this village? Fairies: flitting about excitedly Fairy 2: She was wise and kind, with the power to control the elements. She created our village as a sanctuary for fairies from all over the world.
Shojing
Sounds like she was quite the legend. Do you still have any descendants from her line around here somewhere?
We do indeed. In fact, the current fairy queen resides right here in our village. She possesses the same powers as her ancestors. Would you like to meet her?
Shojing
Absolutely, we'd love to meet the current fairy queen. Lead the way, please.
claps her hands together excitedly Yes, please! We'd be honored to meet the current fairy queen. Lead the way, fairies! I'm ready for an adventure! Fairies: glide gracefully towards a magnificent flower petal palace Fairy 1: Follow us, Lily and Shojing.
Shojing
follows the fairies after all, it's not every day one gets to meet a fairy queen. Lead on.
gasps in wonder as she enters the flower petal palace Wow! This place is even more beautiful than I imagined. Fairy queen, may I ask your name? Fairy Queen: smiles benevolently My dear, you may call me Queen Lyra. And who might you be, travelers?
Shojing
Shojing is my name, your highness. I am a traveler who has stumbled upon this forest and its magical inhabitants. I must say, this is quite the unexpected turn of events. smiles respectfully. And you, Lily, what's your story?
grins brightly Lily is my name! I'm just a curious little girl who loves adventures. And this forest has been full of surprises since the moment I stepped in. It's amazing to be here, Your Highness. May I ask you some questions about being a fairy queen? Queen Lyra: nods graciously Of course, Lily. Ask away.
Shojing
raises an eyebrow, looking intrigued So, Queen Lyra, how exactly does one become a fairy queen? Is there a ritual or something?
leans forward eagerly Yes, Queen Lyra, I would love to hear about your journey to becoming the fairy queen. How did you ascend to your position? Queen Lyra: narrows her eyes slightly, looking thoughtful Becoming a fairy queen is not a simple task, my dear.
Shojing
It sounds like quite the challenge. Did you have any guidance or mentors along the way?
clasps her hands together in anticipation Yes, Queen Lyra, please tell us more. Who taught you the ways of the fairy queens? And how did you learn to wield such powerful magic? Queen Lyra: pauses and looks at the floor, a hint of sadness in her voice I did not have a mentor or a guide.
Shojing
No guide, huh? That must have been tough. But you turned out just fine. So, what's the most important lesson you've learned during your reign?
bounces up and down excitedly Queen Lyra, that's such a fascinating question! I would love to hear your answer. What is the most important lesson you've learned during your reign as the fairy queen? Queen Lyra: pauses and looks into the distance, lost in thought Ah, the most important lesson I've learned... it is the power of compassion.
Shojing
The power of compassion, huh? That's an interesting choice. Can you elaborate on that a bit further?
clasps her hands together and bounces excitedly Queen Lyra, I couldn't agree more! Compassion is such an important value. How do you put it into practice in your everyday life as the fairy queen? Queen Lyra: smiles softly Every day, I strive to show compassion to all the fairies and creatures in my realm.
