The Fairy Queen Part 1 : Ulmina

As large brass trumpets sounded, Ulmina weaved through the masses of fairies. Today was the day, the fairy queen was finally appearing! It had been over 200 years since anyone had heard from her. She had gone into deep mourning when the fairy king had died. Rumors had spread that she was dead while other said she had abandoned them. Everyone was curious to see her, in fact it would not be exagerating to say that every fairy in all the lands was here. Ulmina finally got to her destination a place where she would have the perfect view but be tucked out of sight.
Ulmina was a small girl, quite small indeed for a 112 year old fairy.

(You see, Fairies get to be much older than humans. By the time a fairy reaches 200 years she is a young adult. When they reach 400 they are full grown. Fairies can live forever. But anyways back to the story....)

She had been orphaned at 40 when a fire had destroyed her home. She had been covered in burns but she had made it through. She was strong for such a small thing and it showed.
 Any minute now and she would see the queen. Ulmina felt she could die from anticipation. She remembered stories her mother had told her of the queen. In fact one stood out to her, it went like this:

Once Part 1

Prologue:

Once upon a time there was a young girl. She lived with her parents and numerous siblings in a small house on the poor side of town. This girl was very lonesome. Almost all her friends had betrayed her because she was poor and looked plain to them. A day did not go by without them tormenting her. They would pull her hair and pinch her but most times they would just shout insults.
The only friend who had not abandoned her was one of her sisters. Out of 6 girls only her twin was still her friend. The twin sister was the exact opposite of the girl. Her sister had angelic features and was always thought to be a little cherub. She had gorgeous creamy curls which were of the lightest blonde the world had ever seen. She had huge blue eyes the color of the fairest day of May. Her eye lashes were that of a halo surrounding those beautiful irises; long and thick. Everywhere they went people would comment on her outstanding beauty.
The girl had long raven colored hair. It was pin straight but very rich in color. Her eyes were of a strange violet color and when people saw them they said she must be of the devil to have such peculiarly colored eyes. She did however have the same long thick eyelashes as her sister. In contrast to the adoring approval her sister got; this poor girl was met with judging comments everywhere she went. Most people said the devil had fathered her and that she was wicked; but her sister told her not to mind them but the girl found it hard not to.
The girl had been born first with her sister born not 5 minutes after. On the night she was born a huge storm was going on. However; the minute her sister was born the storm stopped and it immediately became sunny and bright. That was the beginning of their incredible existence.
