The Legend of Jayla the Fairy, and the Kiss of Bestowal


Every thousand years one fairy gets a special powers. thousands of years ago a fairy named Jayla was granted the gifts of ultimate power and bestowal. She could give anything special powers but when she did she had to use her own power and give it up. When a fairy loses it's power it dies.

One day while Jayla toyed with her endless power, she happened upon a small boy who had been beaten and robbed. She felt deep pity for the poor scrap, so she flew up to him and kissed him on the nose and said"I shall surrender my power of sight, so you can see when you will be in danger.As well as my power of becoming a bull so no one will hurt you" Then she found a small girl being chased by a man. The girl tried to climb a tree to escape but kept falling. The fairy felt that this was unjustly wrong, because the girl was young and didn't know any better, without a family, to even defend herself. So again Jayla flew over and once again kissed the girl"I shall relinquish my shape-shifting power so you can escape and my power of tongues so you can understand anyone and anything so you can live anywhere" Then she met a girl who was starving. The fairy once more took pity and kissed the girl"I bestow my earth powers so you can make food and my power of becoming a monkey so you can take the food even when it is high above you" she did this 4 more times each time giving up another two powers.

One day the King fairy found out and scolded Jayla and said"Dear Jayla you have given up your shape-shifting so you can not hide from human eyes, your earth so you can not make shelter, your power to see into the future so you cannot see an enemy approach, and many more. You have also let 7 human children see you. I must punish you if you do this again." Jayla nodded and did her normal work for days and days until she saw an orphan girl freezing in the forest. She tried to avoid the girl, remembering the king's plea. She once more did her work. and once more she saw the girl half dead in the snow. That night she cried because she could not help the girl though she desperately wanted to. She flew to the girl and kissed her and said"I shall give up my fire so you can stay warm and my power of becoming a wolf so you can find a family with the forest creatures and with it my life." The girl stared in wonder, this girl was different and Jayla seemed to have given much more than just her magic up to this young girl. Jayla flew home and wept, because she knew this was probably her last night.

The king immediately found out about the eight child and punished the fairy girl"Every one hundred years you must surrender 16 of your own powers to 8 human children." Jayla nodded and accepted her punishment. And so the fairy Jayla still gives her power up to this day and will untill she dies...
