In the early part of the 18th century, tribal groups were driven out of a certain country. Rudolf Watson was a member of the Yamasee tribe who fled to the mountains facing the Pacific ocean.

Rudolf, who was then ten years old, ran away as fast as he could, not mindful of the heavy luggage that he was carrying, or the sharp and pointed stones on his way. Ever since his tribe has heard rumors that tribal groups will be driven out of the country, everyone has prepared a pack of personal belongings and food. 

Amidst the panic and the sea of refugees, Rudolf didn't know how to find his parents. He cannot go back for he might get caught. He continued walking towards the mountains hoping that he will still be able to see his parents along the way. He only stopped when he noticed flowing water on the path. He then began looking for the source of the water.

Although tired, he felt relieved when he found a spring. There were lots of edible plants around its sparkling water, so Rudolf decided to camp there for the night.

After he finished setting up a bed, he sat on a protruding root of a huge tree and leaned on its trunk to eat. He was so tired that he had fallen asleep. When he woke up, he saw a group of yellow and blue butterflies flying around him. He stood up in wonder and realized that the butterflies wanted him to follow.

He followed the butterflies in the midst of the forest, where he saw a beautiful, gigantic house full of different flowers that he had never seen in his life. Suddenly an elderly couple opened the door. A boy of his age followed them and invited Rudolf to their home. They introduced themselves as the Wardens and their son’s name is Dave.

The family had the palest skin Rudolf had ever seen. They were tall and immaculate-looking. 

They learned that Rudolf had nowhere to go, so they decided to let him stay with them. The family treated him as a family member. Rudolf was so polite, industrious, responsible and honest. He was loved as a son and he also loved them like real family.

The Wardens knew that sooner or later, Rudolf will start asking many things about their family. So one day, they called Rudolf for a heart to heart talk, to make him understand the truth about them.

They expressed their feelings on how they love him like their own child. They said that they are good fairies and that he will always be welcomed to stay with them even if he will be able to find his parents.

Aside from the fact that the fairies were already so attached with Rudolf, they also wish that Rudolf ends up marrying a fairy to seal the bond between the humans and their kind. It will also be an opportunity for them to adapt the ways of the humans.

The fairies wished that their future generation can mingle with mortals and can go to school without attracting attention. Rudolf lived up to their wishes and married the most beautiful fairy in the forest. The Wardens and the other fairy families also learned how to interact with mortals. They even invented a potion that could make them look like humans. That's why fairies of today mingle with us without our knowledge.

Have you seen them?
