That answer came as a surprise. Ary was struggling on how to continue talking with her. Was she aware that she was a she and not a he anymore? There was no telling at that moment and since her body and mind were still fragile every word could make a difference between a speedy recovery and a total disaster that would take them years to rectify. Besides, if something got screwed up again, Father would for sure make an example of Ary by the severity of his punishment. B.G. left Ary in charge of their visitor and that meant taking responsibility for this silly little humans actions. Good or bad, and this human was so good at being bad.
Ary decided to do what he does best, he started singing. With each new note, the air became lighter and tension in Pebbles' muscles begun to ease. Her skin begun to tingle as the frequencies interchanged. Ary did not only sing in his own voice, he sang using the voices of different people, sometimes combining them and even sounding like a whole choir. Voice types were not a challenge for him, from deep male bass to high pitched female soprano, he was an expert in polyphony.
What came next was a surprise even to him. A violin started playing. Gentle sounds of piano appeared in the air too. Strings of guitar so gentle and ancient. A flute so playful and wild and it all joined together while all the while the sounds of natural chirp were somewhere in the background, somewhere behind the voices and instruments. They could be heard only while one instrument was subsiding, just before the next one would amplify.
Pebbles was hypnotized by the strange sounds that were coming out of Ary and her eyes slowly got heavier and heavier. With each piano note she heard, it was harder and harder to keep them open. Almost like someone was gently pushing them to close. Hypnotising her with a strange lullaby. As they were getting heavier, the music was softer and soon there were no more sounds to be heard and Pebbles was relaxed and asleep.
"What was that?" Ella asked. There was a big frown on her face and she was obviously not amused by Ary's performance. He always got nervous when those two would materialize out of nothing or uncloak as Ella used to explain. Noone knew if they were there or not or for how long so you always needed to be careful what to say even when it seemed like you were alone. There was no telling what invisible creature was listening.
"I honestly don't know." Ary sighed and lowered his little head. "It just happened. I think she made me do it." There was fear in his voice. He knew the fairy would see this as a sign of trouble.
"Made you?! Are you insane? She is just a human! That would be possible only if..." she stopped talking and gave Sapphire a frightened look. "Is it possible?" Leaves on her trees begun to shiver and a few of them fell off and disappeared. Just as they did, new ones grew from the branches and took their place.
Ella noticed colors changing on Sapphire. They were still there but what once was red now was green and where blue like oceans stood, now sparkling yellow appeared. With her every blink, something on her changed.
"We will speak of this no more. Father will return soon and know how to proceed. Where is he anyway?" Sapphire was calm and almost seemed unintrested to an untrained eye but Ella knew better. Even a deity was showing signs of concern and in Ella's mind, that was a clear indicator that they made a huge mistake by allowing an outsider into their land.
"Sticking it into some human?"
"ARY!" they both shouted.
"Are we not allowed to talk about it?" the bird was happy with his little remark
Sapphire signaled Ary they should leave the room and since Ella was mentally connected with her thoughts, she already knew and followed along. Ary flew out the window and landed on a small bench in the courtyard, just under a pine tree. He always loved the smell of its needles. Sapphire and Ella were already there waiting for him.
"Until Father returns you and B.G. will do everything in your power to help Pebbles recollect her memories. Am I making myself clear?" Sapphire pointed her finger at Ary
"Crystal." Ary responded. I will contact B.G. right away.
"Find Lime. I think she has a few tricks up her sleeve that could help. Ella whispered to Ary but knew Sapphire could hear her.
Ary knew contacting Lime was dangerous and he was hoping Ella did not suggest what he thought she suggested. Time travel could only make things worse. Nine out of ten humans lose their mind in the process.

I think this is an amazing idea. Writing stories while using Steemians as your characters. I am not sure who my favorite character is jet as I have to catch up on more chapters to decide. I will have to get back to you on that. :)
Not everything has to be about you lol but wait and see, something might ;)
Woo this getting good sweets. Really liked the 'orchestra' that came in as Ary was singing. Nice touch🤗
Thank you honey 💚
Sure thing sweets!

This is a cool idea you have going @zen-art!
I like that you take actual people you met on Steemit and weave a fantasy story with them as characters.
Big ups from me!
Thank you, it is a lot of fun to write it :)
I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing. @zen-art.
Thank you for your kind comment
It's getting very exciting, the mysterious Sapphire seems far wiser then she initially shows. Interesting mention of time travel at the end, I am wondering where that will lead to.
#thealliance #witness
Well, where does every time travel lead? Back to the beginning :D
I was already intrigued by the story. When you added time travel I am even more into it! Can't wait to read more!
