Emerald Ella flies round Gemstone Glade, enjoying the winter sun and colourful autumn leaves. Landing on the edge of the fountain, she sighs. Where is the Gemstone Glade magic today?

Ella does not have long to wait. Leaves swirl around her, stroking her green crystalline skin, then a portal opens in the centre of the glade. Ella gasps in delight and disbelief.

It is a tiny green bridge, just the right size for a fairy. In fact, is it Emerald Bridge, the mythic bridge to Emerald Isle, the fairy paradise? Only one way to find out!

Ella sets foot on the emerald bridge, and squeals happily as she feels its emerald energy. The portal closes behind her as she continues up the bridge. Ahead, are green clouds. She enters them with the smile of a hundred summers on her face.

Emerging from the clouds, she sees a peaceful forest glade below. There are many emerald fairies there, drinking tea and dancing. It looks like an emerald fairy reunion. This is why the portal opened for her; it has opened to emerald fairies everywhere.

Laughing, she joins them, and soon has made many friends, from different forests and even different dimensions. But their emerald souls are a connection between them; it is like they have always known each other.

It is said that if you find Emerald Isle, you will find a life mission. It does not take long; there is a large and severe faced emerald fairy handing out cards. “Here you go!” she tells Ella as she regards her coolly. “Your assignment!”

Ella opens the card. “Help a guide dog called Gavina.” Ella smiles. All in good time, first for some fun!

She learns of other forest glades: the Mythic Moments and Hymns in Harmony glades are the most famous. How she would love to see them! A fairy called Edna approaches her. “I am a fairy of the Forest of Fables.” Ella gasps. She has heard a rumour of this forest, but did not believe it to be true. It is home to many magical beings, and used to test knights in training in the mythical kingdom of Tavo. “Can I come to visit you?” she asks Edna in glee. “Of course.”

Ella chuckles. This is the time of her life, she hopes the fun will never end. But then she remembers, there is a human guide dog who needs her emerald magic. It will soon be time to return to Gemstone Glade, and to find another portal: one that will lead to Gavina and her assignment. Somehow, she knows that it will be fun.

But first, dancing before dusk! Ella laughs as she waltzes with her friends. Perhaps this perfect day will never end. The sweet memory will certainly stay with her forever.

Far away, a golden Labrador sits at a door and waits for his owner to return. Somehow, he knows someone is coming to help him. He barks, but there is no one to hear.

Ella continues to dance, as a vision of a lonely dog accosts her. “Sorry folks!” she cries. “I must go! A mission awaits!”

The portal opens up for her again, and she returns to Gemstone Glade via the green bridge. There is a smile on Ella’s face that can never fade. This has been the best day of her life!
