A soft laugh echoes around the still glade, and its crystals begin to hum: they have heard a friend.

Slowly and sleekly she flies down from the branches of a tree, a four inch high lime green gift of joy, pale green wings fluttering delicately. She continues to laugh. Emerald Ella is her name, and she carries the energy of the emerald crystal within her heart, and its gift: a river of love.

“Where are you all?” She is looking for her friends in the crystal fairy world, but she is all alone.

She falls to the fountain, and dances in its water, her emerald soul screaming in delight.

“Come and join me!” But there is no one to hear.

Undeterred, Ella enjoys a long swim on her own, rising every so often to utter her magical little laugh.

Life is good … life is the green of courage, and the sound of green is her laugh, it hangs in the air like a promise of a better tomorrow.
