Steven took a breath and calmed his mind. He couldn't recall hearing anything about getting this pixie to calm down and he was in no position to kill it. Unless he had a spell , which he did not. He felt around in his pockets and then reached for his pack.
"What are you doing?" Clarissa the pixie moved closer. "Don't try anything!"
"Uh just looking for ah.. something. Oh here.." it was along shot but he had nothing to lose. "Want a mars bar?" he put forth the candy minus wrapping.
"A what? "Clarissa was now suspicious.
"Candy? Food!" he said.
The pixie was so shocked that this human had offered her food, she started to shrink. It had not happened in a long time, so no one really could remember that food especially sugar had a calming effect on pixies. And she actually preferred to be calm than turn into this ugly monstrous thug. It did a number on her hair doo.
Steven watched her take the candy and return to normal size. "mmm. This is good. I needed that ! When my temper gets up ...well, you saw! It wasn't always that way. But that wizard.." .she stomped her little foot.
"Any way. listen. you want to find your sister, right. and despite what the books say, not all of us are of that generation or thought. We see the danger of all folk in this battle and well, I do want to help. It has been along time since a pixie and human joined forces and I want to be the first. Everyone is my family is..well... I am just different And if we met any trouble, I can turn into that thing again." she shivered. "Got any more candy?"
"You don't give up do you?" Steven shook his head. "Maybe I was a bit hasty but.."
"I know all those books! But really I can help."
"Well, I certainly like when you are calm and not biting my head off."
"Well I certainly like it when you are nice and not casting me in the same ilk as in the history books. The prophecy says if we don't work together--the fey and the human and the dragon, well....." she dropped her head.
"Wait! What prophecy?"
"Oh the one I am not supposed to know about because it would cause a stir and it might be wrong! Lucky I listen, even If I am not supposed to. So see I could be a perfect ally! And remember I can help with trolls. You saw.."
"I remember." Steven said and thought about what had happened. He still didn't know for sure that she could be trusted. The books can't be all wrong. But at least she was friendly again and he knew how to calm her. Plus he really didn't know where to go to find his sister. "ok, truce! Now which way do we go? I have to find Laura."
"This way!" Clarissa beamed, happy to have a friend and a purpose. "She is heading toward the lake."
