Thing with Wings
She had chosen the title of ‘godmother’ for a reason. Most of the Fae- the fairies, as the humans called them- used their limited powers to amuse themselves, but she had always needed to help people.
In the beginning, she had been frustrated by how temporary her spells were. Like all beautiful things, any gown she conjured would fade back into rags, any jewels she made would disappear.
But after a while, she realized that her godchildren didn’t need her finery. They needed hope, to believe in themselves and that they deserved better lives.
And that, she could give them.
THE END
