Sugilite Sally jumps up and down with delight. She has been chosen to open today’s advent calendar door!
Her lilac body glistens as she flies to the multicoloured door, rainbows crisscrossing it in a symphony of vibrant colour.
Inside she finds a jar of sweets. Back at ground level, she opens it and the fairies all grab one. The sweets are different colours. As the fairies hold the sweets, tiny rainbows dance within them.
Jasper Jim is the first to place a sweet in his mouth. Immediately a rainbow twirls around his body! Jim moves and the rainbow moves with him.
The fairies laugh. They all begin eating, and then dance with their rainbow. Rainbows move around the glade as the fairies leap and twirl.
Jim swallows his sweet. The rainbow leaves him and flies to the fountain, merging with its waters which turn in to a rainbow cascade.
The other fairies swallow theirs too, and all the rainbows float towards the fountain. The fairies are laughing. This is such fun!
A unicorn enters the glade, and begins to drink the rainbow coloured water. As he finishes, a rainbow starts to twirl around his silver horn. He looks at the fairies, nods then is gone.
Slowly the rainbows rise from the fountain, and fly away over the trees.
Calum turns over in bed. A rainbow dances around his head, and enters his dreams. He sighs happily.
Tonight many children are blessed as they sleep, unhappiness swept away as the rainbows come and then go, taking all their worries with them.
In another world, the rainbows regroup, and dance to a silent music of the night. They will return to the glade one day, but for now their work is done.
One sweet remains in the jar in Gemstone Glade. It is patient. Soon, the right person will find it, and its healing powers will be released.
The fountain waters continue to flow, the memory of rainbows still real within them. They now contain rainbow energy forever. Whoever drinks from the fountain, will be blessed.
