Elona of the Great Green

Up in the Great Green Henry Alan, Elona and Queen Alesasha have just finished their lunch and while the rain still drips in steady streams, it has begun to tame itself from the crashing spring storm that leapt out of the blue blue sky. Elona sits in the fairy hollow and ponders the rain. “What do you think the sun said to the sky this time?” She questions Henry Alan. Henry Alan is almost disinterested as he watches two ants fight with their antennae, each vying for a morsel of dewberry cheese dropped from Henry Alan’s cracked acorn sandwich.”Ah the sky is over sensitive, it always cries in spring, something about the babies and flowers makes her weep, I guess” Elona looks up through the thick branches. “Do you think they’re tears of joy, then?” Henry Alan crinkles his nose. “Um, I don’t know. Maybe.” Elona’s expression bursts into a smile. “That’s it then. She’s happy. The sky is happy! She’s just shedding tears of joy. I’ll have to tell Elona the first chance I get…” With that Elona gasps and covers her mouth with both hands, realizing that she has just divulged the deep hidden secret, that while she is forbidden to speak to humans she still sees Magenta, almost daily in fact. Queen Alesasha turns her head sharply! “You’ll tell whom?”

Elona’s face drops to the ground as Henry Alan whispers. “Oh now you’ve done it, Elona!”
