Tarnished Wings part one (introduction)

                Most beautiful fairy the forest had seen
                Spirit of a child,heart of a queen
                Gentle as a kitten, but fierce as a bear
                Ready to pounce,if you threatend her lair
                Her laugh was like a flowing river
                A magical sound,
                No sweeter soul, had ever been found
                She was giving and loving,
                The whole forest knew,
                Of all of the fairies
                Her heart was most true
                What was hers was yours
                If she didnt have she would seek
                She was foe to all bullies
                Protector of the weak
                Oh and beauty oh her beauty
                No other could compare
                From her bright violet eyes
                To her dark raven hair
                That  spiraled down her back
                Like black pearls from the sea
                Flowing in the wind, wild  and free
                Her wings were the colors of the rainbow
                Every hue sparkled bright
                As the day turned to darkness
                They lit up the night
                 Her world was near perfect,
                 In every imaginable way
                 It was a life untouched by tragedy
                 Till that one fateful day

                                     to be continued very soon!
