| Jaedan, the Elf Elder |
| "Prior to her imprisonment, JyM was granted permission to visit the Fae to say good-bye and to give them instructions from the Supreme Being. She appeared in the very clearing where Crystal had faced her brother and called to her children. 'I am here, daughters. Come to me.' Her clear lilt voice lifted, spreading through camp like a sweet melody, and as each Fae heard her voice, they knew without a doubt that it was the Goddess. Joy leaped into their hearts as they began to run to the sound of her voice. |
| In the meantime, Crystal had brought the Foel to live with them in their camp to be cared for by herself and her Orange sisters. The Fae, still stunned by what had happened the night of the Supreme Being's visit, had slowly repaired the damage to their camp. Frightened and unsure, their carefree spirit gone, the Fae was attempting to return to as normal a life as possible without the use of magic. |
| Crystal oversees the Foel's gardening. |
| The Fae replant trees and flowers that had been damaged by the Supreme Being's wrath |
| Daily, Crystal had pressured the Blue Fae to pray to JyM nonstop. They built a special shrine, burning incense, dried herbs and flower petals to appease the goddesses� senses. They sang songs and dance in the meadow to amuse the goddess hoping they would hear her laugh once again. Yet, JyM did not respond. In fact, it had been over a century since Crystal or any of the Fae had �seen� JyM in her unearthly form, hovering before them, the goddess instead choosing to speak privately to her children and manipulating objects with her will. Yet, as the Fae beseeched JyM for some sort of sign, she did not reveal herself to the Fae in anyway |
| And now, as Crystal joined the gathering, forcing her way to the front, she was astonished at what she saw. The Goddess JyM, Mother of the Fae, had come to her children as one of them, as a creature of Gaia. She had taken the solid, Gaia bound form, of a wingless Fae. Her long sun-kissed hair fell across her shoulders and down her back in soft curls; her wild dear-like eyes sparkled as she smiled warmly at her winged children. |
| 'Yes, my children, it is really I, your mother. I am so very happy to be with all of you, you will never realize, but my time here on Gaia is short. My brother must punish me for my insolence. I should have been more of a true mother and guided you as you learned about your new powers. Please forgive me. |
I know now that more of you will acquire the wonderful gift of magic and will change from orange to blue. Believe me, this is what I want for all of you. You see, Crystal was right about the transformation. She, Beryl, Nite and Cyana are only in the first stage of becoming a spiritual being as myself. How long will the evolution take, or if any of you will ever reach the ultimate enlightenment? I do not know. We must wait and see who will one day join me and live with me through eternity. But, I must warn you. My brother will not tolerate any more incidents that involve challenging his supremacy. None of you must ever confront him again. He can destroy you all with his will alone. Please remember that. You are only here because my brother loves me, but his patience is not without end.' |
| Beryl, Nite and Cyana build an alter to the Goddess JyM and prayed for her guidance. |
| JyM address the gathered Fae. |
| JyM now turned her attention directly on Crystal. 'Crystal, I am very proud of you. You are the wisest and most powerful amongst your sisters with the confidence and will that surpass any other creature on Gaia. I know why you wanted to create the Foel, to have free thinking creatures of flesh and blood, who would love you, who needed you, and who would except you with out question. Who you could comfort, teach and take care of; who could communicate with you, who would understand. However, my child, your approached to fulfill this internal need was wrong. What you created was an insult to the very being who allowed you to exist. But, that is not your fault.' Once again, JyM faced the Fae, opening her arms in love. 'My children, I am here now, but I can only stay until the sun has set in the western sky. Then my brother will summon me and I must go. Let�s spend this day together. Let me teach you and tell you all I can. Let us dance and sing together. Let me hug and kiss each and every one of you. For you will not see nor hear from me for a very long time.' JyM made a slight gesture, and the trees were filled with blossoms. Beautiful birds with golden wings suddenly took flight into the cloudless sky with a cacophony of sound. A banquet was laid before them with plates and baskets of all the vegetables, nuts and sweet fruit that was know on Gaia. Musical notes floated on the breeze. The Fae looked around in amazement. For the first time in weeks, their merry laughter filled the air. |

| 'Our Goddess has come! Our Mother is here! Rejoice, sisters!' Crystal was a little uncertain about JyM�s sudden and unexpected appearance. It had been several weeks since the confrontation with the Supreme Being and Crystal had expected JyM to come to her immediately, assuring Crystal and approving the creation of the Foel. Crystal had expected the goddess in all her glory to spill her love and except the Foel unconditionally. However, JyM had not come to Crystal. |

| "I am Jaedan, Elder of the Water Elves and Esteem Counselor to the King. I am the oldest of the elves, one of the first Neofae, or �new one�, the second children of the Goddess JyM. The Goddess herself revealed all that I have told you so far when she was released from her thousand-year prison. That was the punishment the Supreme Being placed on JyM for allowing Crystal to use her powers to create the Foel. This was the beginning of the Change, another era in the Fae existence, a change even more significant and encompassing than the gift of magic. |
| At this point, I must pause in my tale to tell you this: time for us does not pass as time does for you. Nor is it measured the same. Thus, when Crystal created the Foel, it had already been several hundred years since the birth of the Fae, and the Blue Fae were becoming more powerful." |
| And now, Jaedan continues part 1 of "The Change". |
 |
| �Our Goddess has come! Our Mother is here! Rejoice, sisters!� the Fae cried out as they ran in the direction of JyM's voice. |

| 'Come my daughters. Join me,' and JyM started to spin. With the gracefulness of a gazelle, she leaped into a pile of fallen gold and brown leaves, dancing, the leaves twirling around her to the rhythm of the music coming from hundreds of unseen instruments. JyM�s melodious laughter mixed with that of her children, as they joined her in the leaves, creating a sound unknown on Gaia before, and which has never been heard since." |
