----- The Promise of the Park -----

Among the forested mountains was a small town that enjoyed great vegetation that was the attraction of several tourists who came to the place to camp or mountaineering. Firtown was named in honor of the most abundant tree in the forest that surrounded it.

In the center, the market, a recently opened hotel and the park were concentrated. This park was particularly beautiful and large. There were bushes full of colorful flowers, highly detailed stone statues, and a good variety of fruit trees.

Visitors have the feeling that the place had a magical aura surrounding it. And actually, they were right. Such a beautiful place could not be maintained by human work, but by fairies. They were natives and had made an agreement with the mayor's office to give a small portion of their magic in exchange for a commitment to keep the forest intact.

Ohone was the leader of the fairies who were in charge of maintaining the park. A very laborious task since she had to ensure that all the fairies applied the spells well and in a coordinated manner at least one day a week. But Ohone always manage to make it.

One day, she was curious about how Julius and Jessy's life was like. Those two children she had met 2 months ago. They had entered recklessly while doing maintenance and Ohone had to cast a special spell so they could leave safely.

As a side effect, the spell turned the older brother into a girl, but gave him the knowledge of guidance to leave the park before it’s magic absorbed them. Ohone was confident that the effect of the spell would wear off and that they would end up forgetting everything.

The fairy quietly approached the house where those children and their family were spending their holidays. From the leafy trees she looked towards the house, but to her surprise. She saw that Julius was in the backyard of the house. He still was a girl. “Oh no. The effect of the spell was not undone.”

She began to remember that occasion. “I was in a hurry that time. I surely made one or two mistakes and the effect of the spell ended up being longer…” she murmured as she watched Julius sigh heavily. “It could even be permanent. I have to correct this immediately.”

The fairy quickly flew back to the park, she selected several flowers from various bushes, with speed and agility she wove their steams, after a while, she had a crown of flowers. Although it was the same type, it was different from the one she gave to Julius the first time.

The fairy soon returned to Julius, who was still sad. Ohone approach through the bushes. To try to place the flower crown on him without him noticing. After losing his memories, seeing her there would only bring up more questions and there was no time to answer.

Just when she was about to place the crown on him. Julius began to sob. Ohone freezes trying not to attract attention. “It can't be that all this is about to end.” Julius muttered. “If only I could find that fairy again…”

Ohone was intrigued by what he said. As Julius seemed to remember her, she decided to show herself. “Erm… can you remember me?” Ohone said appearing behind the young one. Julius was startled when he saw her, giving a small cry.

“Julius, is everything okay?” A woman asked. Julius, who heard her footsteps approaching, hurried to hide the fairy under a nearby empty flower pot. When the mother looked out the door, she only saw her daughter sitting on the porch.

"Yes mom. I’m fine…I just…I saw a mouse.” She excused herself nervously. “Don't worry sugar cub. The mice here are harmless, they won't hurt you.” The woman said before returning inside the house. Julius sighed in relief before picking up the flower pot.

"Is it really you?" She asked quietly with hope in her words. “If you mean the fairy you saw in the park the other day that give you a flower crown that transformed you into a girl. Yes, it's me." Ohone said as she sat up.

The fairy took a small crystal that she had in a bag at her waist. She grabbed it and brought it close to her chest. After a few seconds it shone. “Just as I feared.” She said as she discerned the state of the spell.

The fairy looked for the flower crown that she had brought and found it quickly. She reached for it and brought it to Julius. “My magical intuition tells me that the effect of the spell is permanent, rather, almost permanent. Put this on, it will get you back to normal.” The young girl stared at the crown before pushing it away from her.

“That's why I wanted to find you...I wanted to talk about it.” She said, leaving the fairy surprised. “Whatever you have to tell me, do it in the forest. I don’t want to attract the attention of another humans.” Julius nodded and they both went into the periphery of the forest near the house.

After making sure that there were no other people hearing them, Ohone asked. “What did you want to tell me?” The fairy was expectant.

"It was all very strange. One day I was living my life. I was a normal girl, I helped my parents, played with my sister. We do everything together. It was like we were the perfect family.” Julius's face reflected a certain glow, like someone telling a close friend about something they’re very passionate about.

“But the next day. I remembered everything, that I was actually a boy and that my sister and I were in that park. Basically, I remembered everything. I remembered that this is not really me. Which is part of a spell.” Her expression darkened as she said those words.

“Our vacation is over. We will return to the city tomorrow. But I don't want this to fade away. I don’t want to go back to normal.” she said in frustration. "What are you talking about? Don't you want to be a boy again? Do you know that you will still have your family being a male?” said the fairy, not understanding the situation very well.

"Yeah. I know, but the thing… is that…” Julius seemed to hesitate on whether to say it or not. “I feel that in this time I have been a girl. I have been able to connect better with my little sister and my family. I feel like we can be closer…” She said shyly.

"Besides. It hasn't been bad at all being a girl. There are many things that I like this way. I feel like…like I want to stay this way…” There were a lot of things she wanted to express, but she wasn't sure whether to open up completely.

“So… Are you afraid that the spell will be undone when you leave the mountains because you feel happier being a girl?” Ohone asked. Julius felt that the fairy said in a single sentence the fear and desire that she could feel, but not express. She nodded slowly not knowing how the magical being would react.

“Not all spells require you to stay in a specific place for them to maintain their effect.” Ohone began to explain. “The spell of the first flower crown can remain whether you are here or on the other side of the world.”

Julius's face lit up again. "THAT IS AWESOME." She said excitedly, but immediately she pretended not to be so happy. “I mean…oh wow. I guess I had no choice anyway.”

Ohone raised her eyebrow at that sudden change of attitude. "Hey. Why do you hide your emotions?” Julius hesitated again about whether to be frank. "Well. Yes, I would like to still be a girl when I return home. But… It's not something I want anyone to hear me say. Don't you think that's strange?"

"Of course not.” The fairy said. “Humans are often complex. Very different from each other but everyone wants the same thing. Happiness. You’re not strange for wanting to be happy in that unique way. You’re just another human…a more decent one than others I've met.”

Julius was speechless. She didn't expect to hear words of support, she felt a tingling running through her entire body. "Thank you. Thank you so much." She said feeling great happiness.

“I don't want to ruin the moment. But actually, there’s a spell that will fade.” The fairy said. Julius felt a coldness run down her spine. "What is it?" she asked worriedly. “When you leave the mountains. Your memories will fade. But when you come back. Your memories of the park, the fairies and the magic behind it all will all come back to you.”

Julius was relieved that her girl-form was not compromised. “It is part of the security protocol to keep this magical sanctuary safe.” Ohone said. “Well. That's fine, although I wouldn't do anything to hurt this magical place.” The young girl said.

“Julius. Come here. You have to pack your suitcase.” The call from the mother reached the ears of her daughter. "Well. I have to go." Julius said. “I promise to keep the secret…oh. Also come to visit you in this forest.”

“Promise me something more important.” The fairy said. "What is it?" Julius asked with eager curiosity. "Be happy." Ohone asked as she looked proudly at the girl in front of her.

"I promise." Julius promised smiling.

 

THE END.
