Little Things

A fanfic by Solar, no copies!
==Chapter One==
A long time ago, there were only two kingdoms. In one kingdom, there lived creatures, like you and I, with scales and wings and greedy hearts. They were ruled by a tyrannical king who cared only for gold. But in the other kingdom, there lived many mystical creatures, with translucent wings and magical powers, with only kind hearts, although they would defend their kingdom with all their magic. The dragons like you and I lived in envy of that kingdom, and there would soon be another war.
A war that would leave the kingdoms united or even more pushed apart, united by a hero or a villain alone.
A young fairy rested in a tree, large feathered wings fluttering behind her as she tended to the old oak. Its branches twisted and coiled, reaching for the sky but unable to reach. This particular fairy was named Selene, and she had hair as dark as night; black horns twisted up from her humanoid head. She smiled softly and lifted into the air.
She soared to the Mirror Pond, gazing down into the crystal water. Shining, polished creek stones glimmered from beneath the smooth, glassy surface. She sat down, studying the entrance to the dragon kingdom, when she heard a noise.
The sound came from the entrance. She saw a small, curious head poke through the entrance, horned and spiked. She immediately sat back on her heels, summoning a bit of green magic in her hand. The head shrank back a bit. "Who are you?!" She demanded, afraid, cautious, and very intrigued. "I'm Eric," the dragon mumbled. "Selene," she said without thinking.
"Look," Eric told her, assuming she was a friend. He shifted into a Scavenger, the same size as the young Selene. "I can look like you." She reeled back in surprise, wings flapping hard as she drifted backwards off the rock she had been standing on. Her toes barely grazed the cold water. "That's weird!" She exclaimed, a high, melodic tone in her voice.
She flew a little closer, alighting on the ground softly, and softly ran her finger along his jawbone. "Where are your wings?" She asked, curious. "I don't think those work when we turn into fairyfolk like you." Eric explained.
"Meet me in the woods later," He told her. She nodded and sent him away.
----
She waited by a creek in the woods, soft moonlight drifting through the trees and glinting across the water. "Selene? Selene?" A voice rang out. She smiled softly and called back to Eric. And that night, they told each other many things about their kingdoms.
And for a while, it seemed, that in them at least, the old hatred between dragons and fairies had been forgotten.
And on her sixteenth birthday, Eric gave her a present. He called it true love's kiss.
But it was not to be.
