Days had passed and meanwhile half of the fairies body had disappeared.
Sadness had come over the unusual relationship between the fairy and the tree giant. One day, when the two travellers walked by a river, the fairy began to sing a verse of an old song she had known since she was a little child.
- On this glowing road, our way is long,
Forgotten have we, there is never a return,
Still looking for a place where we would belong,
Our empty hearts will burn.
Lonely shall we never be,
Or forever will we search,
Found peace I have at last through thee,
My heart is home as we converge. -
As the fairy sung her song the wooden branches oscillated softly. And with the last syllable leaving the fairies little mouth the rest of her body began to dissapear. She looked into the eyes of the tree giant with a single tear running down her cheek until there was nothing left of her except her tiny little wings.
