"THE FEAST OF THE LEPRECHAUNS." (Fairy-Tale, Part 1). Author: Stardust.

According to Celtic culture and a rather old western European tradition, this never ending story began like this.......
Once upon a time in a little wooden cabin far away in Fairyland, -near a Blue Lake- a beautiful and powerful young fairy named Lady Caprice and her handsome human husband, Sean lived happily with their little twin children. Gwynn was a mischievous little fairy girl who loved to play all kind of games with her brother Hendel. Their grandmother, Lady Allison lived on the other side of the rainbow. Granny´s friends and family, everyone who knew the old lady, they all missed her dearly because of her charmy ways. She was a peaceful hada like an angel, but nobody would dare to upset her because she would turn so wild. Granny was the most unique, distinguished, honest, sweet, noble and gentle lady that had ever lived.
Lady Allison (Granny) and her ancestors had half feeric blood of fairy people and the other half was human blood. e.g. A beautiful hada married a good looking human or the other way around.
Lady Allison had a dream: to change the world for the better for all of us. But most of all she wanted to save her only daughter from danger. She loved Lady Caprice so much that she would give her own blood and heart for her.
Sometimes in the past, she had a strong reason for sending her own dear daughter to live far apart from her. As time will go on..., later in this story, the reader will eventually find out why this tale is happening at a given time.
The family lived so much apart on opposite sides of the rainbow. Nevertheless they had a strong feeling of togetherness rarely seen in people of that time in the past. Granny -the sylphides, the air-hada-, who was the fairy grandmother of the forest, daughter of a real powerful fairy lady from the woods and an average human, dwelled in a gorgeous farm -near the Sea Shore- with so many beautiful birds, animals, plants, flowers and trees around. Leprechauns lived there too. They all had the ability to communicate with her. As a matter of fact the whole jungle and forest spoke to her in their own special language. She had strong magical powers inherited from her ancestors. Granny loved the natural environment: birds, animals, trees, plants, flowers and all wonders of Mother Nature; they were her natural and true best friends.
Granny had a nice and friendly interaction with humans. However, she could not trust them thoroughly. Lady Allison was the first one to create the Superb Special Program of Environmental Protection: "Green Earth." Safety, Protection, Security were the key-words. There was a reason to believe that humans would destroy the planet Earth a little by little.
Goblins and Phookas -evil creatures- were confined into the underground world of darkness and from time to time climbed up to eat. They were very dangerous and were still alive out there. Goblins and Phookas terrified everybody in the forest and in the whole planet, including Granny who was petrified by terror. However, Goblins and Phookas were afraid of all kind of storms, thunder and lightening. Granny was very much afraid of that unsafe plight. That was the reason why she had sent away her only daughter, to the other side of the rainbow where it was a much safer place to live.
In her cozy farm, old Granny cuddled her sweet memories pertaining to her living past. She was an artist and a writer too. She wrote all kind of beautiful and realistic stories. She shared her life with her true best friends: Sir Merlin and Lady Merlina, which were adorable cats with magical powers also. Her home was full of arts and crafts. Wonderful speechless paintings and objects of handmade craftmanship were carefully done to be sold for home decorations. She got true help from her true best friends.
On the other side of the rainbow, Capri also worked in her small workshop at home. The little people worked there too. She made gorgeous handknitted sweaters, clothing and costumes for entertainment and theater. She had a few other helpers such as hadas of other places, duendes, elves, salamandras and gnomes coming and going every day. Hardworking leprechauns had their own corner making small shoes for their own feeric community.
Capri´s children, Gwynn and Hendel, went to the local School every day. Although they loved to share, they all had their own special world for special feeric people only.
Sean, Capri´s husband, loved animals. He was a conservationist. He raised horses, dogs, lions, tiggers and breeded other mammals. Sean was also a baker, and owned his bakery shop.
The little duendes, gnomes and leprechauns were mischievous and playful, like most feeric or fairy creatures. They had all got on well with each other. At dusk, they all loved to sing together and drink beer to celebrate after work before going home happily.
With astonished surprise, everybody would go to the great feast of the leprechauns...
The Reader Will See Why.

Hiya Stardust....... this looks to be developing into a good tale. My only suggestion would be to include a word list to identify what the word is.....eg Hada ..... I have never heard of this one. What is it? Other than that I am ready to read installment 2

Sweet Dear Mysty:
OH!! I am really happy to see you reading and reviewing my little work, dear Mysty. You see, I am NOT A PROFESSIONAL WRITER. I just do it as a HOBBY!! I would NEED CORRECTIONS, I know that...
About a Word List: YES!! SURE!! e.g.: Hada is an air-fairy. Duende is an earth-fairy, a leprechaun or a gnome. Mermaids are water-fairies. Salamanders are fire-fairies. Of course, all these are Fairy Characters in the Tales according to Celtic (Irish) Traditions. Druids were the Old Priests (the highest spiritual authority, who held the wisdom) for the Celts. Celts were an ancient culture and folks in Ireland, Wales and Scotland. They had their special traditions, music and culture. Arqueologists have found some funeral domes from the Celts all throughout England, Ireland and the British Islands, for example "Stonehenge" in the South West of England. Well, sweet dear Mysty, I hope I was relevant in some way about the meaning of words in my fairy tale for children. Of course, this tale is all FICTION with magical creatures, but nothing for real.
Cheers. Faithfully, Starry.
