“I… I’m sorry, I can’t!” You started “This is just all too much for me! Not one day ago, I was a human man just getting settled into his new home. In twelve hours, I became a woman, then a fairy, and now I have to be a queen?”
“Your acceptance of the prior events has been nothing short of astounding.” Tulipelle said. “From what I know of humans, and it is much, many human males would have taken offense to even the suggestion of becoming a woman.”
“Well, I saw it as a means to aid getting back to Earth.” You said.
“What about your acceptance at being a fairy? I was so ready to be screamed at, even attacked; your initial shock notwithstanding, you’ve been very accepting of your new form.”
“That may be so,” you say to Tulipelle, admitting your acceptance at being a fairy, “but, how do you even know I’d make a good queen?” you ask to the queen.
“I had foreseen it.” The queen answered. “When a queen’s end is nigh, we have a vision of our successor. Three nights ago, I had a vision of my daughter rescuing a human, you. I witnessed your changes in my vision, to woman, to fairy, to queen; and you will be much beloved by our people.”
“This must be true,” Tulipelle said, “or else her majesty would not have saw fit to remove her diadem.”
“Diadem?” You ask.
The queen unfolded a silken cloth to reveal a star-shaped jewel. “This jewel is the symbol of the fairy queen. For well over a century, this it has shone upon my brow, embedded within my very body, as a beacon of hope, compassion and wisdom of my people. It also contains the knowledge and wisdom of its forbearers. It can only be removed when a queen has seen her last moonrise.”
“If you need further proof, simply touch the diadem. If I am right, it will react to you, embedding itself into your forehead, imparting its knowledge and wisdom to you, and you will transform into a fairy queen.”
You look over at Tulipelle, who nodded and smiled. Slowly, you approach the throne and reach out your hand to the jewel.
