“I’m sorry,” Ambrosia said.
Rom put his arm around Ambrosia and she
rested her head on his shoulder finding comfort in her friend’s
arms.
“None of this is your fault Ambrosia.”
Ambrosia was about to speak, but Mirabella stopped her. “Don’t you
dare say that if you hadn’t come here none of this would have
happened. If you had not come here Rom would be dead. Things happen
for a reason, Ambrosia. We will start anew. The fire could not have
crossed the river so we will find a way across and build a new
village.”
“Do you think my father survived?”
“I am unsure, but if he did he may be injured
so we should search the area where this all started for him.”
“I’ll take my pixies and search,” Serena
offered.
“Thank you, Serena. Please be careful and
stay on guard. He may have come out of this unharmed and still be a
great danger to us.”
Serena and the pixies took to the air. Their
hearts felt heavy as they looked down at the burnt remains of what
had been home for so long.
When they reached the fire’s point of origin
there was no need for them to search further. Ambrosia’s father lay
on the ground just inside the fire line. His face and body were
covered in a layer of black ash.
Serena got just low enough to see that he was
still breathing, but very shallowly. His heartbeat was weak and she
knew that without immediate help he would not survive.
“Stay here and keep an eye on him,” Serena
told her pixies as she hurried back to fetch Mirabella.

returned with Serena. Mirabella landed on top of Daniel McDonald's
stomach. She placed her hand on his chest. He has an awful lot of
smoke in his lungs. He is very weak, but I think I can help
him.”
Despite his years of cruelty Ambrosia could
not help, but want him to live.
“Ambrosia, I will use my powers to heal him.
It will take several hours to work. As soon as I do the healing
spell, we will place him upon Jollah’s back. Ellie can use a spell
to erase his memory. Jollah will leave him just inside the human
world and when he awakens, he will have no memory of any of this.
He will have no memory of you.”
“I understand,” Ambrosia said. “I wish I was
the one who could forget him. Please, Mirabella, just help
him.”
Mirabella hovered inches above Daniel
McDonald's body. She closed her eyes, spun slowly in a circle and
recited a healing spell:
Oh Goddess of Nature
Goddess of Light
Give unto me the power to make this
right.
I give the gift of health and life.
Mirabella stopped spinning and twirled her
wand in a complete set of circles. Fairy dust fell down onto Daniel
McDonald. Within moments, his breathing returned to normal and his
heartbeat strengthened.
Rom and Ambrosia struggled to get him onto
Jollah’s back. There were several failed attempts, but they were
finally able to get him situated.
Ellie stepped forward wand in hand. She
placed the glowing wand upon his forehead and said these words:
As I erase one letter away
You’ll forget the secret of the Mystical
Forest and forget you have a daughter today
And when the last letter is erased and
burned
Our secret to you will never return.
“It is done.”
“Thank you, Ellie. Majik, please lead Jollah
to the path that leads into the human world. Once there please
leave him somewhere he can easily be discovered,” Mirabella asked
of her friend.
Ambrosia watched them go. Despite the ruin
that surrounded her, she felt hopeful. All the darkness in her life
was getting further away with every step Jollah took.
“Goodbye Daniel,” Ambrosia whispered before
she turned away from him for the final time.

As Mirabella and the others prepared to move
toward their new life, something dark arose from the ashes of the
Tree of Life. A giant shadow fell across the charred remains of the
land.
