Chapter 7: The Journey Home

Then, Daisy felt it.

A shift. A pull.

Something was calling her back.

Her paws tingled, her breath deepened, and suddenly, she remembered—I have to find my way back.

She turned, sniffing the air, searching for the scent she had left behind, the invisible thread leading her home. She bounded toward the tunnel, her paws moving faster now, carrying her through the lush brush and back into the open fields.

The dream was unraveling at the edges. The colors softened, the sounds dulled.

And then—

A scent.

Something rich and savory, drifting through the air like an invisible rope tugging her back into her body.

Food.

The dream wavered, flickering like the last moments of twilight.

Daisy’s eyes fluttered open.

The world was different now—familiar, grounded, real. She stretched, arching her back, her tail curling high before wagging lazily. A yawn slipped from her mouth, her tiny teeth flashing in the morning light.

She could still smell it—that delicious scent. Lunch.

With slow, sleepy steps, she padded toward the house, where the door was left just open enough for her to slip inside. But before she did, something tugged at her.

A feeling. A whisper. A presence.

She turned.

And there they were.

Luna. Puck. Celeste.

Standing at the edge of the garden, glowing softly, their wings moving in slow, rhythmic beats.

They lifted their hands in farewell.

Daisy wagged her tail and smiled.
“I see you.”

And then, just like that, the fairies faded into the morning light.

The dream was over.

But the magic?

The magic would always remain.

The End.
