How it all began

  Every 50 years 12 fairies are born from the tree of life. This year though not everything goes to plan. "are you excited for the birthing ceremony" 

   "of course who wouldn't be"  the chatter filled the air as hundreds of fairies flew to the tree of life where the young fairies would be gifted a name by the elder. The hum of a hundred wings filling the air, however, did nothing to quell the anxiety of the caretaker who had just discovered the small hiccup in the perfect day "shit shit shit the ceremony begins in just a minute what should I do" the world fell silent "shit" Bitterwhisper hissed under his breathe.

   "Hey stop all that pacing and bring on the first child the ceremony is beginning" this will be interesting Bitterwhisper thought to himself running a hand through his red hair before scooping up the first child and heading on stage. The elder was the oldest living fairy in the haven her silver hair touched the floor her skin resembled a prune. Bitterwhisper swallowed as their eyes met and he could swear he saw her wings flutter even though she had been unable to fly for many years. please don't die of shock he thought handing off the first child who had eyes of gold with a dark complexion. 

   "Ah yes I sense you will be a swift flier," croaked the elder "we shall call you.  Featherwheather! as the cheers erupted Bitterwhisper raced back for the next child and so on went the ceremony. All as usual until the 12th child "Pinebite! and with that, I conclude this cer" 

 "cough" the elders shot a glare at Bitterwhisper "um you see there's one more" the elder's face went pale as snow 

"what?" she stepped towards him. Bitterwhisper shuffled staring at his feet

"there's an extra ma'am he said pulling a young fairy out from behind him. giggling he squirmed in Bitter whispers arms reaching out for the elder a smile plastered on his face. "he's a he's a bit of a runt." every fairy in attendance froze gawking at this 13th child   

  "Well then let's give him a name than" the elder finally spoke breaking the unbearable silence reaching out she took the child. "I sense..." she could sense absolutely nothing  "that you are very unique? she finally finished your name shall be b oh mmm b uh Bob!? 

  And that is how Bob has introduced to the haven.
