		<itunes:summary>I landed face down in a bed of thick damp moss, two seconds later, Odette landed right beside me. With the smell of ozone still heavy in my nostrils, I rolled over and sat up. The last of the light was leaving the sky and the forest  was becoming increasingly dark.

Odette stood beside me pulling bits of leaves and moss out of her hair. &quot;An what would ya be thinkin just happened?&quot; She seemed to be very calm, given the fact that we were just magically transported who knows where. Now that I had a chance to pull myself together, I didn&#039;t seem to be all that worried either, I had some bumps and scratches, but that was it.

I picked Odette up and put her on my lap. &quot;I think that there was some sort of negative effect when the energy beams from the two wands crossed, and we got caught in the middle of it.&quot; The underbrush rustled violently to the side of us. &quot;Shh! I put my fingers over Odette&#039;s mouth. &quot;Somethings coming.&quot;

I got quietly to my knees and crawled into a stand of tall ferns, signaling Odette to follow, then pulled the fronds up behind us. Twenty feet away, two young Centaurs crashed into the clearing, jumping wildly and butting their heads together as they took turns using defensive moves.

They shoved and pushed their way closer to us, unaware that we were watching. When they were just feet away they suddenly stopped and turned  in our direction, sensing our presence.  Odette and I sat frozen in place.

Odette opened her mouth to say something but I quickly put one finger to my lips to signal her to keep quiet. The centaurs started pushing through the undergrowth, working in opposite directions around the clearing. Before they could complete the circle back to where we hid, a horn sounded, high and thin. They snorted and bounded off through the trees, leaving us alone in the forest.

I released the breath I had been holding. &quot;I thought they would find us for sure.  Do you think they were friendly?&quot; My nerves were frayed, reality was setting in, we were alone in the forest and no one knew where we were or how to find us.

&quot;There there dear, that&#039;s what I&#039;ve been tryin to tell ya, centaurs are faerie friendly, I&#039;ve known em to help all the different faeries. Chances are, the faeries have called all the forest dwellers ta gether ta help find ya.&quot;

The light in the sky was almost gone now and I was starting to shiver. We had landed in very damp moss and my clothes were soaked through. &quot;Odette, I&#039;m getting cold and I don&#039;t think we had better stay here any longer. Lets find some place where we can get warm.&quot; When I stood up a sharp pain shot through my knee. I muffled a groan.

Odette peered at me through the growing darkness. &quot;You okay missus?&quot; I crouched down to pick her up and another pain coursed through my knee, I bit back an exclamation. &quot;Yes, I&#039;m fine, just sore from the landing I guess.&quot; I needed to change the subject. &quot;If the centaurs are friendly maybe we should go the way they went.&quot; I pointed across the clearing. &quot;Over there, between those two trees, see, we can walk where they trampled through the underbrush.

We started across the clearing. Bruised from the fall, and with my knee constantly reminding me that there was some wrong with it, I worried that I wouldn&#039;t be able to walk very far.  I looked around to find a stick that I could use as a cane. I couldn&#039;t see anything, the forest was completely  submerged in darkness now. Discouraged, I sat down with my back against a gigantic tree, tears welling up in my eyes.

Odette climbed up my arm and with the edge of her apron, wiped the tears away. &quot;Here now missus, no need for them tears, things will work out, you&#039;ll see.&quot; She sat down on my shoulder. It reminded me of the way Arial would sit and braid my hair while talking to me and the tears started again.

&quot;Odette, it&#039;s pitch dark now, I can&#039;t see two feet in front of me, I&#039;m cold, and my knee hurts. I&#039;m having a very hard time seeing how things will be okay.&quot;

Odette thought for a minute.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>I always get the most peaceful feeling when I come home, it doesn&#039;t matter where I go or for how long, I guess it&#039;s all the wonderful positive magic that flows through my garden. Today, I felt that serenity stronger than I can remember in the recent months.

I took the leash off of Lucy and let her in the house then turned back to face Arial and Cythia. The two faeries were sitting on the gate to the back yard, watching with intense concern as the emerald guard checked the silver protection orbs in the garden that marks the boundary between our house and the Shunners.

I walked quietly up behind them and peeked between the ornamental iron leaves that cover the gate. &quot;So, are you two going to tell me what in Gaia&#039;s name that little stunt was all about? Shooting in and disrupting a  perfectly charming conversation I was having with my neighbor down the street, I almost fell out of my chair! I&#039;m just sure that she thinks I&quot;m a little whacked now.&quot;

I was hoping to return the favor of startling them by sneaking up behind them but I forget that it is almost impossible to surprise a faerie. Without turning to look at me Cythia said, &quot;We have received some disturbing information from our colleagues in the realm, information that could directly impact you.&quot; She turned to face me now, her eyes dark with worry. &quot;The queen has requested your presence, I have been sent to escort you to the palace.&quot;

Arial took her usual place on my shoulder. &quot;The Emerald Guard and I will not leave your side.&quot; She gave Cythia a defiant look which told me that they had already talked about this. Cythia shrugged her tiny shoulders. &quot;As you wish, but we must leave immediately.&quot; She pulled out her wand and touched the tip to my forehead. A flash of bright white light surrounded us, and as the world dissolved beneath my feet I asked, &quot;Does this have anything to do with Lilly!?&quot;

This isn&#039;t the first time I have traveled into the realm of the fae. Every time I land on solid ground again, I always feel dizzy and disoriented. It would be nice if some of that faerie blood I have in me would help when it came to moving about the universe. Arial smiled at me as if she knew exactly what I was thinking.

		<itunes:summary>&quot;Spring Procession&quot; by David Delamare

The flower faeries of spring have been busy all week coxing the flower buds to appear in preparation of the May celebration of Beltane. The gathering of the faeries in May is second only to the raucous gala of Midsummer.

Cythia has persuaded Arial to help her and the other flower faeries with all the arrangements for the festival tonight. All must be made ready for the arrival of  Alina, queen of the flower faeries.

Arial and I were in the kitchen when Cythia suddenly popped in. &quot;There you are Arial! Would you mind showing that group of faeries over there the best place for the Maypole?&quot; She spun around and pointed to a group of five or six faeries who were hovering in the sunshine,their  wings shining. They were giggling and whispering to each other. Obviously not focused on the task at hand.

&quot;Not at all. Did you bring the potion for the Kind One?&quot; Cythia&#039;s attention was distracted by the laughing chatter of the faeries. She tapped lightly on the window pane with her wand, &quot;Ladies! Ladies please! Oh,  I am having such a hard time with them, all they want to do is play. Ladies!&quot; Arial floated up behind her and tweaked her wing. &quot;Cythia, would you please pay attention.&quot;

&quot;So sorry, what were you saying?&quot; One of the faeries laughed and Cythia spun around, pointed her wand at the faerie, and a flash of light shot out of the tip and found its mark on the back of her head. There was a multitude of high piercing squeals and the group winked out.

&quot;My apologies Kind One.&quot; Cythia took a spot on my left shoulder. &quot;Arial tells me that you are having trouble remaining intact.&quot; She giggled. &quot;Sometimes these thing things happen, but I have a potion for you that should knock those nasty cat molecules out of you for good.&quot; She looked closely at my eyes, first one, then the other, pulling them open by my eyelashes.

&quot;Hum, it is strange though, usually my potions don&#039;t have this kind of effect on humans.&quot; Cythia drifted around to the side of my head and tweaked the top of my ear, then grabbed a fistful of my hair and ran her fingers through it. &quot;Your hair is finer than a normal humans hair, and the red highlights are deeper. She came around to face me again, &quot;Are you part elf?&quot;

&quot;What? I don&#039;t think so, but I&#039;m Irish on my mothers side of the family. Hey, how many times have you given potions to humans?&quot;

Arial scooted up beside Cythia with a look of excitement on her face . &quot;Queen Orlaith gave her a blessing and bestowed on her a sacred crystal from her crown! I have never heard of her doing that with a human before.&quot; The two faeries exchanged knowing looks.

&quot;I think you&#039;re getting distracted again. Can I please just have the potion?&quot; I pointed out the window. &quot;I would love to have my voice back, and I think your girls need some supervision.&quot; We all watched as the pastel faeries of spring darted in and out of the ivy hedge playing tug-o-war with the flower garlands.

&quot;Hold out your hand.&quot; Cythia waved her wand and a small vial filled with cloudy blue liquid appeared in my upturned palm. &quot;Drink this and you will be right as Gaia&#039;s rain in no time!&quot; As soon as the little glass bottle had settled in my hand, Cythia grabbed Arial&#039;s and the two faeries rocketed for the door. &quot;Come, sister Arial, we have so much to do before tonight!&quot;

Before they rounded the corner, Arial shouted, &quot;you will come tonight, the Green Man will be there. We will be singing and dancing around the Maypole and jumping the fires of renewal, please come! I will send the emerald guard for you!&quot; They were out the door and streaking for the ivy hedge before I could get a squeaky whisper of acceptance out.

I turned my attention back to the  small bottle. Uncorking it, I carefully sniffed the contents. It smelled like grape jelly. I held it back and looked closely at it to see if there was anything unnatural floating in it. I wasn&#039;t eager to drink anything a faerie gave me after that last little incident, still,</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>I didn&#039;t know if Bill wanted to laugh or cry. One thing was perfectly clear, he wasn&#039;t at all happy about having his wife turned into a cat. He sat down on the porch step and stared at me. Arial and Cythia had each taken a protective position, hovering a few inches off the ground on either side of me.

I have noticed that when situations get tense, the faeries will hum softly. It has a calming effect, like the time my little Chihuahua, Edie, got plopped on the head with cold wet snow.  She will always let us know when she is not happy, and by the sounds of her wild screaming that day, she wasn&#039;t happy! The faeries paralleled her every move, humming a gentle lullaby, until she stopped. Then of course she looked at us like nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.

Arial and Cythia were humming like that now, but this time it was for Bill. When the shock began to wear off, and the two faeries were satisfied that he was calmer, they left my side. Arial went to perch on Bill&#039;s shoulder and Cythia proceeded to braid the strands of hair that she had pulled out of my head prior to my feline transformation.

Arial repositioned herself on Bill&#039;s shoulder, leaning forward to observe Cythia&#039;s work. She scratched her head, &quot;Potions are tricky things.&quot; Since Bill hadn&#039;t been home to witness my metamorphosis, Arial had to do a little explaining. &quot;Unless you know the exact magical strength of the creature you are going to change into, it is hard to gauge the length of time before the potion wears off. Obviously Mrs. Shunners cat wasn&#039;t just a cat, or, the shape shifter had placed charms on it.&quot;

&quot;She won&#039;t stay like that will she? We have dogs, and gnomes!&quot; Bill edged a little closer and held out his hand to me. &quot;Please forgive me sweetheart, I had no idea you were a, he gulped, cat.&quot; I knew that I would have to make him dinner tonight, but right now I decided to play the cat role to the hilt. I turned my back and proceeded to lick my paws, glancing around to give him a detached look of disdain. &quot;Tonight, you get tuna!&quot; Meooow.

Cythia finished the braid and wove it into the fur on the top of my head. She moved back  waving her wand over me and chanted. Pink sparkles fell from the tip and disappeared into the thick black fur. &quot;That should do it! Her natural DNA will recognize the strands of hair and the transition back to her former human self will begin.&quot;

We waited. When nothing happened, I started to get nervous and began pacing around in circles. &quot;I can&#039;t stay this way, I can&#039;t stay this way!&quot; Meeeeoow, meeeeoow! Bill stifled a shudder and gently rubbed my fur. &quot;Ah honey! Thanks for that show of support, I forgive you, you don&#039;t have to eat tuna tonight!&quot; Meow, Meoow.

All of a sudden I felt a tingling, it started at the tip of my tail and worked it&#039;s way up my spine and out the tips of my ears. My eyes opened wide and I stood very still, waiting. Everyone else must have known that something was about to happen because they all took several steps away from me. For a split second, I felt as if the whole world was collapsing in on me. Everything compressed, then in a sudden explosion of sparkling pink light I materialized, and from the relieved smiles on their faces, looking quite myself.

At first no one spoke, then, everyone was speaking at the same time. &quot;Well done!&quot;  &quot;Welcome back.&quot; &quot;I thought you would stay that way forever!&quot; &quot;What did it feel like?&quot; &quot;What&#039;s for dinner?&quot; (that&#039;s my hubby, it&#039;s all about the food!).

Faeries were buzzing around my head, Bill was hugging me. I think Warren and Odette even got in on the welcoming committee, of course, the dogs were barking madly. I let their relief wash over me, happy to be myself again, aside from a slight buzz in my head, I felt rather good.

When the celebration had subsided, and Bill couldn&#039;t hug me any tighter, I extricated myself from his arms and stood back to look him in the eyes. With hands on hips, and with a mock tone of indignation in my voice,</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>There was no time to waste, Arial flipped her wings once and rocketed  into the air carrying Krystal in her arms, accompanied by four of the emerald guard. The remaining faeries stayed behind to make sure the invisibility and protection charms around the perimeter of the yard remained impenetrable.

I looked around the yard, it was empty, not a single faerie was in sight. &quot;Hey, guys? I haven&#039;t changed back, hello?&quot; In my head I was making perfect sense, but what I heard coming out of my furry little mouth was...meeeooooww! Meow, meow, meeeeeooow! I started pacing nervously back and forth in front of the door.

Of course this had to happen, I had envisioned the morphing thing a little differently, something like: I drink the goo, I change into a kitty cat, I grab the faerie, I change back to myself in a beautiful shower of sparkles. Wrong! Didn&#039;t Cythia say something about &quot;just in case of an emergency?&quot; Now that I think about it, I never did get a clear explanation of &quot;emergency&quot;.

It seemed like I had been pacing in front of the door forever when I heard someone coming in from the garage. Head held high, ears pivoted forward, I padded down the walk toward the gate. Bill and I met at the corner of the house. He had stopped at the store to pick up a few groceries and both of his arms were loaded with bags so I thought it would be best not to try to get him to pick me up and carry me into the house.

I wanted him to know that it was me under all this fur. &quot;Hi honey! you will never believe how my day went!&quot; Meeoow, meow, meow, meow. Well, that didn&#039;t go over so good, darn my kitty mouth anyway. I knew how Bill felt about cats, but I had to take a chance, I started rubbing up against his leg in an attempt to gain his favor, maybe he would sense that it was me.

I purred so sweetly, walking around his legs  like I had seen my evil twin do with Mrs. Shunner not all that long ago. &quot;Pick me up please!&quot; Meow, meeooow!! If cats could laugh, I&#039;d be splitting my sides right now, Bill looked like he had just been dive bombed by a seagull with intestinal distress, and it was running down his forehead by the looks of it.

Bill walked to the patio table with me happily padding along behind. He put the bags down and turn around, &quot;Oh good! He&#039;s going to pick me up&quot; Meeoooow (shoot! I can&#039;t wait until I can communicate on a human level again).  I was preparing to purr contentedly and do another pass around his legs when I saw him pick up the broom I keep by the back door.

We stood there looking a each other for a moment, then with one quick sweep, he waved the broom at me. &quot;Shoo! Pisst! Shoo cat! Shoo! I jumped quickly to one side. &quot;Hey! Stop that, don&#039;t you recognise me?  I swear, if you don&#039;t stop that you won&#039;t get any dinner tonight! Meeeeoooow! Meeooow, meow!

He kept swishing the broom at me in an attempt to drive me out of the yard. Didn&#039;t he wonder why I was not going? I was about to take refuge in the Hawthorne tree when Cythia and Arial came to my aid (wow, it would be easier to climb this tree as a cat, unlike the time  I saved Pip from the Blue jay).They flew wildly around and around Bill&#039;s head twittering and scolding and tweaking his ears.

&quot;Stop it! You&#039;re trying to harm the Kind One!&quot; Arial perched on his nose and with her hands on her hips, gave him a stern scowl. &quot;That&quot;, and she turned around pointing and smiling at me, &quot;is the Kind One.&quot; Bill&#039;s mouth hung open and the broom dropped from his hands.

		<itunes:summary>Cythia pointed her wand at the little bottle. It floated up into the air, hung there for a moment, then slowly made its way toward me. I held out my hand to receive the green liquid filled glass. The vial settled in my hand and began to vibrate.

I wasn&#039;t expecting the bottle to move, it startled me,  and I jerked my hand nearly dropping it. Before I knew what was happening, two faeries swooped in from either side and caught it before it could tip and spill its precious contents. &quot;This potion takes weeks to brew, we do not have the time to start all over again.&quot;     Frowning at me, Cythia held onto the top of the bottle with one hand and shook her finger at me with the other. Arial clapped her hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle, her eyes wide with surprise at Cythia&#039;s impertinence.

I was a little surprised at the Cythia&#039;s pluck as well. &quot;I&#039;m so sorry, it&#039;s just that I didn&#039;t expect the bottle to move on its own!&quot; I wrapped my fingers around the container and Cythia moved back, obviously annoyed at my clumsiness. Arial continued to giggle softly.

Turning my attention to the liquid in the bottle, I noticed that it was slowly swirling and twisting in on itself. The viscus solution was shot through with veins of black and silver. It might have been my over active imagination but I thought that it looked like it was listening to us, the way that it would start to twirl faster when I spoke (I have way to many &quot;Harry Potter&quot; moments lately).

&quot;Okay, what is this stuff anyway?&quot; I held the bottle close to my mouth when I said &quot;stuff&quot; and watched the green goo twitch excitedly. &quot;It doesn&#039;t look to appetizing.&quot; The two faeries exchanged a nervous glance. &quot;What?&quot; It slowly dawned on me what I was supposed to do with it. &quot;You don&#039;t want me to drink this icky stuff do you!?&quot;

The two faeries chimed in together, &quot;It&#039;s the only way!&quot; I carefully placed the container on the counter and rubbed my face. I knew I wasn&#039;t going to like what I was about to hear. &quot;You might as well tell me what you want me to do. Come on, get it over with.&quot; I pulled out a stool and sat down. I thought that it would be better if I were in a sitting position to hear the plan.

Arial spoke first. &quot;Every faerie has their own energy signature, rather like your finger prints. We have been able to pinpoint exactly where Krystal is being held and our initial suspicions were correct, she is being held in your neighbors dwelling. Her energy is growing weaker so we have very little time to waste.&quot; I was right, sitting down was better than standing up.

Cythia continued. &quot;Since the shape shifter is magical by nature, we can not enter her sphere of influence, she would know immediately. You, on the other hand could walk in right under her nose and go undetected.&quot;

I jumped up, almost tipping the stool I was sitting on over backward. &quot;Hello! Big person here!&quot; To make the point, I turned around, sweeping my hands from the top of my head down to my toes, then back again. I struck a, what do you think about that? pose with my hands resting firmly on my hips. &quot;How am I supposed to walk in over there?&quot; Just the thought of entering that persons (or what ever she is) house made me want to hurl.

&quot;That is where the potion comes in. It is a shape shifting potion that will allow you to take the form of the first thing that you touch immediately after drinking it.&quot; I pictured the funny scene of Bill walking in and finding me looking like a potted mum. I would shake my petals at him and ask, &quot;what would you like for dinner tonight hon?&quot; He&#039;d probably faint on the spot.

&quot;I don&#039;t think Bill is going to like this plan, besides, what am I going to touch that will get me in there unnoticed? I can&#039;t go as a plant.&quot; The potted mum image sprung to mind.

Cythia had a smug look of satisfaction on her face. &quot;We have a better idea, look out your window.&quot; I leaned over the sink and looked out. Down on the patio, I saw fourteen faeries, the emerald guard and two flower faeries,</itunes:summary>
