4th Try: I'm sick of creating. I want to play!
((to anyone worrying about OP fairies...remember Talia's character...and her very first try. That should be an ovious hint.))
I opened my eyes and looked around. Not surprisingly I sat on a Daisy in a pretty field with all kinds of flowers, about a quarter of them Daisies. Did I mention that I really really like Daisies?
(Author's note: I prefer cherry trees in case anyone's wondering. The Daisies...honestly I have no idea where I got that idea...)
After the creation of Tiny and her two totally inconsequential brothers I set the world on fast forward and then allowed myself to be born as a Daisy Guardian. With a smile I looked at the huge world around me and found Tiny's crown beyond the forest that had allowed a small clearing full of Daisies to form. And other flowers, but those aren't important.
I flew in my tiny baby Fairy body and giggled. I could feel the air under my wings and a gentle breeze on my skin. Flying was easy and my body was powerful. As I made my way towards tiny I noticed humanlike plant creatures in the trees, building new homes with vines and by shaping the trees. A lot of them had a remarkable resemblence to my human self. Apparently she went for a ten female to one male ratio...this ability I'd given to her as a present was totally worth whatever her brothers would throw at us. Fortunately I had restricted the points they could give. They had about a third of those I'd allowed Tiny to give out to her creation.
Hey, cute is justice and besides, this is my game! Go play your own if you disagree.
Either way I caught a look at Tiny, but she was sleeping. She usually did, being a tree.
Okay, so, no Tiny to show off my form to.
Suddenly I was grabbed from behind and cuddled. "Awww. Good morning little one." A sweet voice spoke in my mind and I looked up. A Daisy fairy was looking down at me with a gentle gaze. "Do you want to be my baby? Darling, I found a baby for us!" She called, and a second later another Fairy showed up, this one slightly taller than the first. With shorter petals and broader shoulders.
A darker voice hit my mind like a cool wave. "Hello little one. Have you been fluttering about, all alone?"
Being too young to use telepathy just yet I nodded.
"You don't have parents yet?" The higher voice asked. The other one was looking at me hopefully and gently petting the petals on my head.
I shook my head. I hadn't quite anticipated this development.
So I was going to be adopted apparently.
To make my opinion clear I cuddled against the first Fairy's chest, which earned me an even tighter hug.
With me in her arms they flew into the forest, back to where Tiny's creations were apparently busy building. Into a kind of very lage basket woven of vines that smelled fresh and moist we flew, apparently the home of several of those Tree People. Treelings I decided to call them.

There was a platform hanging from the ceiling and on that platform there were pillows and blankets, all of living plants. It was like fairyland.
The larger fa...oh, I'll just call the other one father even though there's no genders. He feels like a father. Anyway, the larger one called two of the younger treelings and I caught something about 'serve' and 'Prince'...
Then they bowed to me.
That...I mean, the heck? Apparently I was a prince now?
A few days later I had grown a little bit and the Treelings packed our things. Since I had apparently forgotten to include, oh, hard stone anywhere near the surface, iron or anything similar there were only plants, teeth and fur that could be used as tools. Though why on earth my daddy, who was apparently a 'Lord Guardian' had a collection of what seemed to be cat's teeth was beyond me.
Oh and by the way, I think the Treelings are our servants. How they're paid is still a mystery though. In any case, I was brought along to some other place. Since the Treelings couldn't fly we rode on tiger like cats that were actually herbivores, green and purple like the forest around us. They were tame like pets and I had lots of fun wrestling with the huge creature, which seemed to make my father proud and gave me the 'hand to hand' skill and the 'grappling' subskill. I also gained three levels during our journey, even though the cat was so weak I had to be careful not to hurt it.
The treelings started avoiding me for some strange reason after that though. I still didn't have any idea why.
After days of traveling at a fast speed, almost as fast as a car, we arrived at a castle. It was made of huge trees, the size a human castle would have been, with a city around it. Was that city my parent's home?
When we entered through a gate braided with vines full of flowers and fruit Treelings and the mist people the weather god had created greeted us. It seemed a tiny bit stiff for some reason, almost frantic. I wondered why.
A bit further back were the actual humans that idiotic animal god made. If I'd known he was going to introduce something so mundane...oh well, he was probably just trying to please me. I kind of let out my frustration at him about those animals trying to eat my Daisies.
In the air Daisy fairies danced and wind spirits wove pretty patterns into the clouds. Everywhere there were Daisies, except on the streets. It was stunning and I just sat in my father's lap on the pretty purple tiger and watched with sparkling eyes. This was so different from creating and watching from above!
