Open starter ~ Fairy AU
Markus had just been resting on a flower. Like he always did! He was a flower fairy after all, barely a tenth of an inch tall. He loved feeling the sun on his wings, making them shimmer and spark.
He was rare for his kind, though. His wings weren’t like any other flower fairy’s wings, and he had more, and stronger, magic than other fairies. His wings were pure golden, with intricate swirls on them. They made him stand out a lot, and other fairies treated him differently because of it.
Normally, no humans came here to this flower field. It had happened before that some humans with cameras came, but they never bothered the fairy -glamoured as a butterfly. Markus had never had any real trouble with humans before, which was nice.
But suddenly a net came down and he yelped, struggling as the tightly knit net held him imprisoned. A human grabbed for him, making Markus cry out in pain as his delicate body was nearly crushed. He was dropped in a jar, wings getting cramped, and -a cork was put in it.
As soon as Markus noticed, he started panicking. He would suffocate! This was a solid glass jar, with a cork securely holding it. He screamed, fists banging against the glass, yet his voice was far too small to be heard. Or maybe, the glass was enchanted, so that no magic could travel through it.
It didn’t matter, because Markus was terrified for his life.
