He could love me too, couldn’t he? And then I wouldn’t be alone, then I could get his seed and have a family, right?”
    “Pip, no, that’s-” Specca argued before stopping and seeing the sorrowful expression on the fairy. “That’s… he can’t… you can’t… um…”
    “Just stop what you’re thinking, Pip,” Triska warned. “Daniel is our mate, and there is no way we’re letting any other-”
    “I need to be his mate too!” Pip declared with a fist held high. “It’s my destiny! For the future of fairies everywhere!”
    “No!” Alyssa cried out while grabbing hold of her hat with both hands. “No! No! No!”
    “If he feels a deeper connection with me, he’ll love me,” Pip pondered to herself. “If he loves me he’ll give me his seed. If he loves me he’ll take care of me. If he loves me he won’t let the fairies go away forever.”
    “Yes, that could work,” Luna agreed with a hopeful smile.
    “No, that couldn’t work!” Triska shouted at her. “Why are you encouraging this? Why did you have to fill her tiny head with your stupid suggestions? Why?”
    “Pip, hold it right there,” Specca sternly ordered. “Stop what you’re thinking, that’s not going to-”
    “I have no time to lose!” Pip announced as she fluttered up above the table. “I have to gain his love, I have to gain his affection or all is lost for fairies everywhere!”
    “Then all is lost for fairies everywhere!” Alyssa shouted. “There is no way we’re letting you-”
    “Ah!” Pip cried out as she looked around quickly. “Of course, I completely forgot, I have to help him first, that’s how this works. He said he had very important things he had to do. What does he have to do? Somebody tell me, quick! There’s no time to lose!”
    “What in Eden are you going on about now?” Falla asked shaking her head.
    “Oh, I know, I know,” Luna called out holding her hand up. The group looked to her with disbelief as she hopped around with her hand held up high. Pip smiled and pointed to her while flying closer to the girl.
    “Yes, you.”
    “Daniel is on a quest to help bring peace between monsters and humans,” Luna answered politely.
    “The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Go on.”
    “We’re on our way right now to Flairwood, the grove of the giant butterflies, so he can try to talk to my race and convince them to be good monsters. That way mankind will choose to be with them too rather than try to kill them.”
    “That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard since the last thing you said to me. What else?”
    “We have to gain the support of five monster races,” Luna explained while holding up seven fingers. “Once we’re done talking to the giant butterflies at my home we’re going to go to Kroanette’s home, the centaurs are the next ones we want to try to convince to be good monsters with us. If we can get enough support for this Daniel is going to talk to his queen and get mankind to be allies with all of us. That way he’ll put an end to the fighting and raping between everyone.”
    “It all makes sense!” Pip declared while floating in place before the group.
    Everyone but Luna just looked back and forth between the two with stunned expressions as Luna clapped and giggled while Pip hovered in place with a bold expression on her face.
    “What the hell is wrong with you two?” Alyssa asked tiredly.
    “Luna’s crazy and Pip’s insane,” Triska dryly replied.
    “Quickly,” Pip demanded while pointing to Luna. “Where is Flairwood, and how long before we reach there?”
    “Um…” Luna said softly before looking to Falla curiously. “I don t know for sure, but she does.”
    “Oh great,” Falla muttered. “I’m being dragged into this too, aren’t I?”
    “Calm down, Pip,” Specca sighed while adjusting her glasses. “Flairwood is located to the south in this region, and is currently two days away from where we are now.”
    “Two days?” Pip whined.
    “Yes,
