Robin spread her tiny fairy wings and lifted her dainty feet off the ground. The fields smelled of thousands of sweet violets and beautiful Jasmine, mixed in with the wonderful smell of sweet grass and various other plants. The air was wonderful, and the fragrance smelled like a million flowers and grasses were dancing all around her. She fluttered to a beautiful blooming red rose and inhaled the wonderful, sweet, and fragrant alluring aroma. She twirled mid-air as a million beautiful and fiery fireflies danced a showcase of their wonderful, soft, glowing lights which lit up the whole fields. She followed their rhythm, dancing upwards, across, twirling, and then landed on a little maple leaf for a rest.

Robin loved her home; it was in a magical forest and it was top secret. The humans didn't know about it. All they knew is that it was a forest full of trees and wildlife during the day. They had no idea that sweet little fairies like her lived there, and came out to play at night.

Omar and Elise who were Robin's two tiny elf friends joined her on the little maple leaf. Robin had to be careful because they were so small that it was so easy to accidentally sit on them, and she didn't want to squash her wonderful little friends.

Omar and Elise got their flutes out and played a tune so beautiful that Robin couldn't resist dancing.

All the fireflies gathered and lit the forest in a beautiful shrine of soft golden light; even the birds came out to dance because they thought it was daylight! They soon realized that the night hadn't ended, but they didn't care because they were enjoying themselves.

Every elf, fairy, goblin, and the whole of nature in this beautiful place came out to play. They hugged each other, danced, and laughed together, and everybody had a fantastic night that filled the forest with hearts so big that it eradicated all the evil in the world.

The fireflies formed a group creating tiny hearts of light in the sky.

Everybody looked up, and Robin's face beamed with joy. Her entire forest was lit in warmth, love, and kindness tonight. In fact, it is not just a one-night occurrence in this secret beautiful magical home; it is every night.

Robin wished that she could tell the humans about their existence, though she didn't dare. She knew too well that Humans didn't believe in such beautiful nature as theirs. She still smiled, grateful for her beautiful magical home and all her loving warm friends. She would never dare to tell the humans of their existence because her mission was to protect the magic of nature in her home.

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful story as much as I did writing it. Remember, you can show your appreciation by clicking the little heart at the top or bottom of this story. Tips are also welcome and they motivate me to write more, though they are optional, and thank you for reading.

Robin and her friends swore to secrecy. They agreed that this was in the best interests of preserving their nature, and saving their home from the hands of humans who they feared would pollute and fill their secret home with rubbish and dangerous chemicals. Their home was hidden by a secret barrier, invisible to the human eye. They had heard of humans wrecking their own land with poisons and gases that destroyed their own homeland, and she was determined they wouldn't ruin their home too.

The end of the night arrived, and Robin, Omar, and Elise felt sad about having to go into hiding again. They didn't want to, though they knew that it was important to preserve their nature. They used their magic to put the barrier that protected them back in place. Even though they felt sad, they felt happiness and comfort knowing that they could have many more joyful nights like this, and that they were looking after their beautiful secret; the place they call home.

    Hi. Thought this was a dragon fantasy. Cute little story though, who doesn't want beauty and peace.
