A work in progress. My attempt at finishing something I have no clue how to finish.

I'm attempting to come to a place where I can add "THE END" to last page. I've been working on this children's story, and I'm determined to finish it by the year's end.

1.1 : Trean b'llacdd

The purple leaves of the Indigo tree tumbled softly to the forest floor, settling into a quieted pile amongst the tree's entangled roots. The crimson sky whispered lullabyes through the midnight breezes and the hidden realm of woodland creatures drifted off to a world of dreams as they lay silently in a peaceful slumber. The land of Trean b'llacdd was a beautiful place more magical and bewildering than any mortal's imagination could ever comprehend. It was a kingdom so picturesque that no painted canvas or water colored parchment dared to recreate its beauty.

This world of pixies and fairies, gnomes and talking animals was invisible to the human eye. A world like this existed only in the fleeting thoughts of mortal imagination - except on the first full moon of spring. If any human ever ventured past the stone garden covered in apricot ivy and blushing moonflowers, and wandered down the brick pathway going westward through the sea of wildflowers, they might stumble upon a shadowed dwelling. And on that starlit evening, when the moonbeams push through the forest's meridian of branches, the shadows would disappear and this colorful world would momentarily be beholden to the mortal eye.

Some say that pixies are mischievous, that gnomes are too busy to notice a world beyond their humbled dwellings and that fairies are too caught up in their magic and playfully guided spirits to discover an adventure past their circle of flora, fauna and fair weather friends. But I ask you, can you truly understand a place which you have never visited, or comprehend those who you've never had the pleasure of meeting? With your permission, I'd like to tell you the story of a young fairy named Jewel and she changed the human world forever.
