Aryo, Fairy, and Witch

Aryo is a 12-year-old boy, he lives in a hamlet on the edge of a fairly dense forest, his father a farmer who is always busy working on arable land. Sometimes Aryo helps his father work in the fields, but when Aryo's leisure time often plays in the forest, he is different from other children who prefer to play with his friends, Aryo prefers to be alone in the forest, although his father often forbids, but Aryo secretly remains often forested. The forest he felt as a pleasant place, many interesting animals to see, as well as its diverse plants, all of which made him feel at home for a long time, pay attention to the atmosphere of the forest with all its diversity which he thinks is so beautiful.

That afternoon the sunshine was so hot, but the heat of the sun did not dampen Aryo's intention to play in the forest, as usual before leaving, Aryo prepared a provision in the form of a piece of bread and drinking water. After the supplies were ready and then went to walk into the forest through the back of his house, along the way Aryo looked at the towering trees as if through the sky, I don't know how many years the trees are so tall. Aryo smiled when he saw two deer that were busy chasing. Arriving at the edge of a meadow, Aryopun stopped just under a fairly shady tree trunk, it was indeed his favorite place, usually he was always sitting under the tree, looking at the vast grassland, many animals are often foraging in the meadow, which is why Aryo feels comfortable under the tree. Aryo sat under a tree, but then he shook his butt and leaned against the tree trunk…

Pluck up!

Something falls on his lap, Aryo is shocked, and when he sees what has fallen on his lap, it turns out to be a small creature resembling a human but has a pair of wings on his back, the creature seemed to wipe his head with his tiny hands and then smilingly looked at Aryo who was confused…

Hiya!

The greeting of the little creature surprised Aryo, astonished and confused to see the little creature that turns out to be able to talk makes Aryo not immediately answer.

“Hai! Don't be confused, I'm a fairy in this forest, my name is Katrin,”ucap a creature that turns out the Fairy introduced herself.“I say thank you, because thanks to you I did not fall to the ground, what is your name?”Ask Katrin the Little Fairy.

“Eh, I, I Aryo,”Aryo answered half nervously.

“Do you often go to this forest Aryo, because I just saw you for the first time?”Ask Katrin again.

“Oh, yes, I do often play this forest,” replied Aryo.

Katrin seems to be a friendly fairy he is good at inviting conversation, so that finally Aryo is not nervous anymore, even he feels happy because Katrin wants to be friends with him, he also asks why Katrin fell from a tree, Katrin recounts that she was so tired and hungry that she lost control and eventually fell down, hearing that Aryo was happy to share her bread Katrin.

That day passed by Aryo another day from usual, because he had a new friend an Elf, all day he played with Katrin exploring the forest, by evening he was back to the hamlet, they promised to play together tomorrow.

Since befriending Katrin, Aryo increasingly play the forest, because Katrin always take him around in the forest and introduce a variety of plants that he had not known his name.

The forest on the edge of the hamlet is rarely visited by residents, even though many hunted animals live there, this is because in the forest, there lives also a witch grandmother. That's why Aryo's father often forbids him to play in the forest. The old witch is notorious, because it often bewitches people who do not like who enter his territory. But Aryo does not know the existence of the witch, he always considers the forest a friendly place to visit.

That afternoon Aryo returned to play in the forest, after preparing his provisions he went to the forest while whistling happily, but when he arrived at the edge of the meadow, he did not find Katrin, he did not meet Katrin, he came across an old grandmother who seemed to be sitting resting under a tree. Actually the old grandmother was the Witch, Aryo did not know he continued to step and approached the tree trunk where the grandmother shelter, Aryo smiled and greeted.“Siang nek.”.

The old grandmother turned her head, smilingly looking at Aryo. “Ah, nice boy apparently, what's your name?” Ask the grandma.

“Aryo nek.”answer.

“Often play this forest, Aryo?”

“Iya nek, almost every day I play this forest.” replied Aryo back.

The old woman once again looked at Aryo's body from top to bottom, then her mouth opened.

“The grandmother's house is not far from the forest, therefore sometimes the grandmother goes to this forest to look for wood.”ucap the grandmother.

Aryo nodded. The old man stood up, he took the bundle of bags tucked in his waist, opened the rope and reached into the contents, as his hands came out he had grasped a large red apple, with a smile, he threw an apple at Aryo.

“You good boy, I happened to bring an apple, this apple is the harvest from my own garden, it tastes sweet and very fragrant, take it for you Aryo.”

“Ah, no need my grandmother has brought her own provisions,” reject Aryo.

“Come accept, cook you will refuse the gift of Aryo's parents.”

Aryo receives an apple from her grandmother.

“Come on the meal, it feels really sweet and fragrant,” said the grandmother.

Grandma in front of Aryo smirked and laughed

“He he he, this boy his body looks strong, he deserves me to make slave”

The witch's grandmother lifted Aryo's body and carried her on her shoulders lightly, and then left singing happily.

From behind the shrub not far from the tree where Aryo and the grandmother were originally located, a tiny body appeared, which was none other than Katrin the Little Fairy. From that moment he was there and witnessed also when Aryo collapsed and was taken away the Witch, but Katrin did not dare to prevent because he knew the Witch was so powerful.

Katrin drifts towards the Witch taking Aryo away. The Witch's residence was across a river, there was a wooden bridge leading there, once he reached the hut where he lived, the grandmother put Aryo into a wooden cage and locked him.

“Alright first there sweet boy,” said the witch, then he went to the corner of the room, where there was a big barrel filled with water on the stove. He lit the furnace and after it lit he took a wooden basket hanging on the wall, apparently he wanted to make a magic potion and now he intended to find herbs for the potion. Then he came out of his hut. After the Witch's death, Aryo awakens from his stupor, knowing he is in brackets it feels like he wants to cry lamenting his unfortunate fate.

Outside, Katrin, who had been in front of the witch's hut, hid behind a tree as soon as she saw the witch come out, her heart cheered happily to see the witch keep going in the woods, this is the chance to free Aryo he thought. He floated closer to the hut and went inside, while he was in a daze to see the atmosphere of the hut, when he saw a wooden cage, Katrin immediately approached, he saw Aryo curled up in it while looking down.

“Hei Aryo,”call him.

Aryo looked towards the one who called out to him, and spontaneously gleefully knew it was Katrin.

“Just stay there, I'll try to unlock it” Katrin said, then she flicked her hand, as the rays came out…

Krakk!!

Broke the key to Aryo's cage.

Aryo getting excited he immediately rushed out.”Thanks Katrin,”ucapnya.

“Come quickly out, grandma is a bad witch, and she must be back” soon

They came out and ran away from the hut, before long the Witch came back, she put the leaves of the potion into the barrel, then looked into the wooden cage, and then looked at it, and how surprised when he saw the key broken and Aryo was no longer in it.

“Hei! Who freed the boy!” from the shock of turning angry, the Witch immediately came out of the hut, her kiss was sharpened and she knew which way Si Aryo fled, then she immediately chased after.

Meanwhile, Aryo and Katrin because they were so nervous, they were misguided, and not running towards the bridge, so that now blocked the river that stretched.

“Hold my hand,” pinta Katrin.

As soon as Aryo held Katrin's hand, she felt her body light and floated, Katrin took Aryo across the river and stopped opposite her, as soon as she reached the other side, Katrin did not immediately leave, he flicked his hand towards the river, Miraculous! because suddenly the river turned into a green grass.

Before long, from far away the Witch had reached the end of the meadow, and she saw Katrin and Aryo, seeing her quarry ahead, her heart was hot

“You Elves dare to release my future slaves, beware of you if caught will I magic turn into frogs!” threaten him, then he ran chasing, but…

Aww! The byurr!

The meadow turned back into a river, no longer merciful the body of the Witch fell into the river, and unfortunately he was not good at swimming, as a result of his body was drowned, dragged by the river, and did not appear again.

Katrin and Aryo are relieved, because the evil Witch is finally washed away in the river, and then they go home. Aryo felt it as a valuable experience for him, the experience to be more careful of course, that afternoon the sun began to dim, but Aryo's heart seemed to glow, because he had just escaped from danger, saved by his best friend, Katrin the Little Fairy and kind.

So-called.
