Dexter Helps Create a Faerie Ring

Dexter, Siti and Pop-pop arrived in the middle of the lawn and, for the first time, a shocked Dexter did not feel any nerves bubbling and popping in his tummy. To him, he felt as if he had used his quota of worry for one day just getting to the point of finding the faerie leader. That said, as Dexter mused over such a remarkable occurrence, eleven little faeries appeared out of nowhere to stand before him, startling him.

“Do not be anxious, Dexter Booth, aged nine,” Afenim squeaked as he strode forward to greet Dexter and co, wearing a pair of shiny golden boots, “You will protect us, and we will protect you. Yes?”

Dexter nodded. Although, he had no idea at all how to protect them, or even himself for that matter.

“Right, friends and family, let us with haste gather around and form the circle,” Afenim told the other faeries in quite a commanding voice. “Come, come, let us not dilly and or dally.”

A female faerie, with blonde hair and blue-eyes, who looked remarkably like Dexter’s cousin, Ivy, stepped before Dexter and bowed towards Pop-pop and Siti. Both bowed back before stepping away to talk with Afenim.

“I am Sylcra,” she told Dexter and offered another little bow before clasping his left hand.

“Hello, I’m Dexter,” Dexter replied and offered a nervous bow.

“Oh, we all know who you are,” Sylcra smiled. “You’re more famous than Frieda, and she was the most famous faerie of all times.”

“Hello,” a male faerie with fiery red hair announced and took Dexter’s right hand. “My name is Tryst.”

“Hello, Tryst. Nice to meet you. Erm, what is going to happen?” Dexter asked.

“We are all going to join hands and then Afenim will say the incantation,” Sylcra told Dexter with a pretty smile.

“Erm, what is an incantation, Sylcra?” Dexter asked, feeling a little lost.

“It’s a powerful spell. All you will need to do is repeat the chorus. Afenim will explain with more details before we start.”

“Oh. Thank you,” Dexter replied.

Dexter turned to see Afenim end his conversation with Pop-pop and Siti before striding back towards the circle. He looked around at the circle thoughtfully, scratched his little chin and swapped the positions of two tubby-looking male faeries.

“Right,” Afenim began after a squeaky clearing of his throat and looking a little more satisfied with the arrangement of the ring, “I know only sixty-per cent of you have performed the necessary incantation to invoke the unbreakable circle, so this is for the benefit of those who have not. I will keep my hands lowered until it is time for you all to listen with extreme care to the words spoken and then you and I will repeat them together. Yes?”

Dexter and the faeries nodded in reply. Even though Dexter hoped he would not mess it up.

“Do not worry, Dexter Booth, aged nine, it is no more than four little words each time. Yes?” Afenim asked, as if registering Dexter’s worry.

“Yes,” Dexter replied, with some relief, though feeling a little warm in the cheeks from the group’s gaze.
