The Prince of Love
My special friend Sarah is coming to visit me today with her dad and I have been rushing around preparing a fine dinner for them. My faerie friends had given me a recipe for a delicious cake. It looks like an ordinary yellow cake with chocolate frosting and different sugar coated sparkles on it, but those sparkles are really the ones given to me by the faeries and I was told to sprinkle them on the cake. They told me that these special sugar coated sparkles would make anyone that eats this cake feel very good and happy.
I had call Sarah a few days ago and told her we were invited to a special ceremony at the glen tonight. How fortunate that her dad had business in town, and Sarah asked him if it would be ok to stay with me while he went into town. I am so pleased that Sarah can be with me to see this special ceremony. Today the faeries are celebrating the birthday of the Prince of the Faeries. I have only met the Queen and the many princesses--never a Prince. I was told he is the Queens only son, and because of her great love for him, she will give him the title and duties of the Prince of Love.
As we stood and waved Sarah's dad goodbye, we both could hardly hold back our excitement. We started into the forest and immediately were greeted by faeries with lighted wands to guide through into the glen. They are as excited as we are and I had to smile as I listen to their musical voices talking about what is yet to come.
Everyone in the glen is rushing around from place to place as they prepare for the nights ceremony. There are faeries with wands of many different colors flying all around the glen. Each one working as fast as they can to get all in readyness. Flowers grace every bush and tiny fireflies are stationed amongst them to add to their beauty with their blinking yellow lights. Golden hearts with Brilliant Green emeralds grace the lane were the Queen will come from.
In the center of the glen stands a golden table with a small golden box that has a heart shaped diamond on its lid. On the side of the box is a heart shaped lock that is also made out of gold.
A hush has come over the glen and our faerie friends all find places to settle down for the up coming ceremony. Sarah and I find the tree stump and quietly sit to watch something that we couldn't ever imagine.
The sounds of harps and flutes fills the glen with soft celtic music as the Queen and her son, the Prince enter. All around them are faeries and they all fly to the golden table. The Queen raises her hand for silence and all you can hear now is the wind softly blowing through the trees.
The Prince is so handsome as he looks over everyone there and his eyes come to rest upon Sarah and I. He smiles and looks at him mother. He is dressed in golden tights and has an overcoat of gold with many beautiful gems sewn into it. The collar is high and it has huge cuffs on the sleeves. The Queen looks so regal in her long white silk dress with the golden threads throughout its long train. Sarah and I look at each other and smile. How fortunate we are to be here to see this special day.
The Queen turns to her son and says, "My dearest son, the only Prince in this glen, you have learned your lessons well and today is the 21st day of your birth. Today you will become the Prince of Love. For you have been instilled with the love of many centuries of Princes of Love. The wisdom and knowledge has been handed to you now. Take this key and open the box on the table. For inside of this box is your destiny."
The Prince takes the key and proceeds to slowly open the golden box. His eyes light up as he sees what is inside of it. He reaches inside and takes out a specter. It is made of pure gold and it has a clear diamond round knob on the top. As the Prince holds it up for all to see, it suddenly starts to light up and brilliant shafts of light shoot up into the night sky as the round knob slowly rotates. Sarah and I are in awe of all the beauty that we are seeing. It looks like rainbows of color shooting out everywhere.
The Queen smiles at her son, and a young faerie approaches with another golden box. The Queen opens the box and takes out a small crown and places it upon her son's head. This too is covered with all kinds of precious jewels and they glow in the soft night light from the faeries wands. Now her son is truly the Prince of Love. His duties are to bring love to all that seek it in earnest and to help them to maintain that love for all eternity.
Now all the faeries start to play their instruments and sing their special songs. We will have a party to celebrate this special day. They have tiny cups of nectur and little flowers full of sparkles that taste like gumdrops. So good tasting and Sarah and I are very happy as we congratulate the newest Prince of Love.
All to soon, the party ends and Sarah and I are escorted out of the glen and forest by our wonderful faerie friends that light the way for us. It has become quite dark and late. We hadn't realized how quickly the time had flown and when we came out of the forest there stood a very worried looking dad.
Sarah and I smiled at him and waved. She ran to her dad and jumped into his arms and he squeezed her tightly. I just stopped by them and watched . How much love they have for each other. I am so blessed to have both of them for my special friends.
