Waiting for the wing to arrive

FairyTwo agreed on to become tiny in order to get those wonderful wings that her sister already had.

 ThirdFather went to prepare her the wing. It took him more time than first he thought. He was so involved in the wing making, that he forgot he left FairyTwo outside near the old wall. Meantime evening come. Heavy clouds covered the sky. It was dark. Very dark. FairyTwo was thinking about to go home, but she wasn't sure if it would be a smart move. After all ThirdFather told her to wait for him -- here.

Maybe if she goes home, she will never get those wonderful wings. She decided to wait. More and more heavy clouds came and it become darker and darker. She was searching around on the ground and found a candle with matches. 

She lit the candle and continued to wait. As time went by the southern wind started to blow. 'I am so tiny! It is so dark in here! Will ThirdFather find me here? - she thought to herself in exasperation. She didn't like the combination of the dark sky and the wind. And she didn't like either that heavy dark feeling that took her over.
