Growth: Midling Faerie

In the Royal Castle, Esluna, Minerva was currently watching her father, Quinn Winterlace practicing his sword techniques. Faeries are rather small so they prefer to use daggers if they were to be physical but most of the time they focus on using mana as they are born with superior intellect, thus mana. So being able to watch her Father practice sword techniques was really very interesting to her. Another advantage of the Royal Faeries would be because of their heights, they can become much taller than ordinary Faeries therefore there is more room to use swords.

She doesn't have an attraction towards swords themselves, she is just entranced whilst watching her father. His movements seemed quick, precise and simple. It wasn't fancy or elegant like she thought it would be, as in some of the books she read, she had certainly read some books about heroes. These heroes used flashy movements that were intended to show off, very rarely were there heroes who avoided unnecessary movements and only wielded a sword to kill. She kind of thought that her father was like the latter, but it bugged her so she couldn't help in asking her Father.

"Papa, why do you use a sword like that?"

Quinn was quite focused on his sword movements until he heard his daughter's questioning voice, it was like someone pressed the 'force stop' button and he immediately paid attention to this daughter of his. He certainly liked this daughter, she was smart and always asked questions without restraint. Although it could bug him at times but he'd rather have a daughter who isn't full of themselves due to their intelligence and be more like how she is now, questioning with curiosity.

He turned around and Minerva got a full view of her father against the backdrop of the sun which was slowly setting. He was definitely very pretty. He had a pale and delicate face that glowed with colour, his somewhat long blonde hair was tucked behind his ears and rested on his shoulders. His sharp nose and pointed ears were slightly red at the tips, and his clean eyebrows were softly resting above his gentle amethyst eyes. He was certainly a pretty man that would make women jealous and men curse at the world when finding it is actually a 'he'. But Minerva didn't know this, as she has been in the Faerie Kingdom so she naturally finds that all men are meant to look pretty and her father was the prettiest of them all.

Staring at her for a bit longer he answered her softly "I used to fight to kill monsters as I used to be quite a famous Explorer known as the 'Sword Faerie', but now I use my sword to protect your mother and now you"

She felt an inexplicable warmness flood through her heart at those words. Her parents really do make her feel happy, she even thinks that as long as she is with them, then the darkness wouldn't scare her anymore. She then heard her Father speak again, "How long until you grow into a Midling Faerie?"

When she heard him she pondered about it for a while and frowned before saying quietly, "Status"

Looking at the time left she was a little shocked. 'Only 37 minutes?' she thought to herself, but then excitement appeared on her face and she ran to her Father shaking his arm about whilst shouting with vigor "37 minutes! Not long left"

Obviously her Father was a little bit surprised as he never thought that the time passed by so quickly. He thought to himself for a while and sheathed his sword, and then he held her hand and patted her head with his other hand. "Come, we will go find your Mother and immediately go to mana pool"

Not long after, two Faeries wearing crowns were standing by the side of a shallow lake that exuded a mysterious glow. In the middle of the lake was a younger Faerie sat in a meditating pose like she had been told to. Waiting for a few more minutes, the mana started to surge towards the young Faerie's position and started to get absorbed fiercely.

After around 10 minutes, there wasn't the same young Faerie there anymore. Instead a slightly more mature looking Faerie stood there at around 4 foot. Minerva's originally braided hair was undone and reached her ankles, her originally chubby and adorable face had matured slightly. There was more elegance about her, her child like body begun filling out a little bit in a few areas. Although it would still look childlike in most human's eyes, but in comparison she would be like a fully developed teenager in a Faerie's eyes.

Her eyes sparkled feeling the warmth flooding her body and she wondered how her status differed from before, without speaking she though silently 'Status'.
