Golden Fairy

In the changing of seasons from winter to summer, new life is brought into the world. Animals of all shapes and sizes are born and welcomed into this world. Even human babies are born as well during this time. But the most interesting part of this world that is born during the start of spring, is not even witnessed by the human eye. Though they are in plain sight, no one sees the fairies that are born with the nature all around them. Some come from the water, some from animals, but the ones I think are the best, are the ones born from flowers blooming. Particularly the ones born from marigolds.

The marigold is such a unique flower that blooms, that it makes a perfect place for a fairy to be born from. Usually if a human can see a fairy, they write it off as a butterfly just resting within the flower because the wings. But if one were to look closer, they would see a hand, maybe a foot, something that did not look like was part of a butterfly. Thankfully, because some humans do not understand or take care of these creatures by leaving them be, they do not see what is right in front of them.

How does this work? By magic? Well, I guess you could say it is the magic of Mother Nature herself. When a marigold seed has found its way into the soil, Mother Nature puts her energy into the seed to help it grow. With flowers, they usually have a soft soul within them, so when Mother Nature feels that, she knows how much energy they need. In some cases, where the soul is soft but as bright as the sunshine, those are chosen to bring forward the next generation of flower fairies. She creates an amount of energy to help form the fairy within the seed and places it within its soul.

Then it is up to the flower to grow in its environment, to protect its charge that is growing with it as it sprouts and takes on new phases of growth. Sometimes flowers can not handle the responsibility and their soul gives out, but Mother Nature takes over during those times to raise the fairy and give the flower new life to grow on its own. But in most cases, it doesn’t happen with golden marigolds. It was never said by Mother Nature why, but that it just is and they are strong enough to handle both the life of the fairy and their soul.

As the flower is budding, the fairy is moved to inside the bud to begin the process of growing its wings. By the time the flower is blooming, the fairy will bloom with it, releasing its wings and stretching them out. The fairy stays with the flower until it is ready and the flower has reached its full bloom. Then the fairy can decide where it wishes to go to help with growing the Nature around it. Sometimes they go off to find a new place to grow more marigolds, others stay with the flower they bloomed from to take care of the plants their to help them remain strong and be ready properly for winter when the flowers need to close.

Now you may think to yourself, ‘This can’t be true, things like fairies don’t exist and they certainly don’t bloom from flowers,’ but let me say this to you. There are many wonderful and mysterious places in this world that we don’t understand or fully explored the depths of. With so many things that are a mystery to us, I’d like to think that there is a place somewhere untouched, with butterflies on flowers we have never seen before and an extra limb that looks like a hand sticking out of the petals.
