It was during the night when the child was most active. As all of those that surrounded him slept, the young Prince remained wide awake. Into the darkness he would stare, right before looking directly through it as his eyes sought the glow of the fairies. The shadows did not shift or creep towards him like he’d witnessed the one night, leaving him to wonder about what the shaded entity had been. The sight had been a curious one, and not something that he was so quick to forget—but one could always grow distracted without forgetting, which is exactly what had happened with Bramble as a bright light emerged from behind him. The size was great, towering over him as its wispy figure glided over the earth. Seeing it made the boy smile, but never was a sound made. He had learned already that being loud awoke the others, and waking them always resulted in his friends leaving him. It was frustrating at times, knowing that his family was not worthy enough to bear witness to such exotic creatures, though their lack of sight was something that he often felt appreciation towards, too.

As the large fairy began moving, Bramble followed after it. There was only silence between them as they walked the physical plane, but, within their minds, there unfolded a grand conversation that was filled to the brim with previously unknown information. It was made known to him that it was the Fairy Queen herself that he’d taken to following, and that she was guiding him towards something wonderful. Always did he trust his friends, so never had he stopped. Even when he’d grown tired, the child had pressed forward until nothing looked familiar, and even then he had not stopped.

There came a drastic change to the terrain that they walked upon, and then the spirit was gone. Her sudden disappearance had confused the child, making him twirl around and wander this way and that. At last he’d come across the reason behind his friend’s departure, having spotted a dark form a little ways off. Curious, he hadn’t turned around and fled, but had instead proceeded towards the stranger. The space that he’d claimed for himself seemed comfortable from a distance, which only made him move quicker. It became clear that the Fairy Queen had led him there for the purpose of meeting the wolf whose body was one with the trees, so caution was thrown to the wind. He’d not stop until his muzzle was touching the forelimb of the man, or he was stopped in his tracks—whichever came first.
