Chapter III
"The Awakening"
"The Awakening"
Willow began to open her eyes slowly wondering how much time had passed and if it had all been a dream. It felt so very real! She knew there were no words to describe this experience. Instead, she chose to lie quietly awhile, remembering how the tiny golden stars rained down onto her from the heavens above, the radiant colours she had seen, the feeling of the warm pulsating energy rippling through and around her slight body and the stars left behind in the horse’s footsteps. As she fully awoke she heard the birds of a new day chirping and the sun was beginning to shine brightly. Everything appeared to be unusually bright. As she sat up, there on the floor next to her bed, was a long piece of silky white horse mane with a small shiny purple satin ribbon attached to it complete with a miniature silver bell - it had not been a dream and the Devas had fulfilled their promise to her! What a wonderful forever keepsake of a very special night.

Allowing the early morning breeze to enter while opening the shutters of her tiny wooden cottage, Willow continued to stretch as she welcomed in the hot rays of the sun. As lovely as it always was, today was lovelier still! The soft essence of Jasmine spoke to her as the fragrance floated past her nose and into her room.
Willow pulled herself away from all of these new feelings she was experiencing as she ran off to the kitchen to eat breakfast. She knew she would be hungry if she didn’t first eat a healthy meal of porridge and fruit. She had planned to wander through the forest today and did not want to waste any time in getting there. As she ate she thought of the joy it would bring to her nature friends when she told them of her new gift and how she would be able to help them. Secretly, Willow also hoped that she would see the little Deva again as she wanted to thank her and the entire Kingdom for their loving gift.
As she readied to go out for the day, she caught a glimpse of herself in the looking glass. Why did everything, including herself, look so different? She couldn’t get the question out of her mind. Her amber eyes sparkled like diamonds in the sun and her skin was aglow! She felt that her intuition had increased since receiving last night’s gift from the Devas, but she needed time to learn more about this. Healing energies were now running full force through her entire body. That is why she looked and felt so wonderfully different. She did not understand it fully, as yet, but she was happy and excited about all that she was feeling and seeing.
This would be the day that an exciting new world would be revealed to her - a day that would not have happened without first experiencing the Deva’s gift. While crossing a luscious green field that was bursting with wildflowers, Hawk swooped down in front of her, attempting to get Willow’s attention. Again he tried, but again with no success. Today Willow was just too caught up in the magnificence of nature that surrounded her.
