2
The little fairy has just transformed into a beautiful fairy full of power!
3
If you want to know how she dealt with the evil demons, follow WoWaFairyTales now!
4
Once upon a time, in a valley far far away from humans,
5
lived a community of fairies.
6
In this place, every little fairy,
7
when they reach a certain age,
8
will have a magical creature appear to protect them and give them power.
9
That day was a special day,
10
a day that the entire fairy community had been waiting for.
11
Oh, I am really looking forward to the birth of the little fairy.
12
That's right, this event only happens once every 1,000 years.
13
The little fairy, when born,
14
is sure to have a lot of power.
15
Not only that, she also possesses the strongest magical creature.
16
Oh, how exciting!
17
The moment the flower bloomed,
18
the entire fairy community eagerly awaited the birth of the little fairy.
19
Everyone, including the flower queen,
20
gathered around the flower and watched as it slowly bloomed,
21
revealing a beautiful little fairy born into the world.
22
My dear little fairy, I will call you Fanny from now on.
23
Fanny grew up with the love and high expectations of the entire fairy community.
24
Then, she turned 18.
25
She stood next to the mystical flower and everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of her magical creature.
26
However, strangely enough, the mystical flower did not glow.
27
and no magical creature appeared by her side.
28
Everyone was disappointed and Fanny was also saddened by this turn of events.
29
While her peers were using their magical creatures to help the development of the fairy community,
30
Fanny, with her limited strength,
31
could do nothing for the beautiful valley.
32
Feeling powerless, Fanny became sad and went to sit by the stream to take a deep breath.
33
Fortunately, in the Fairy Valley,
34
there was a small dragon named Kelly,
35
a descendant of the dragon community.
36
Kelly, who had not yet grown into a mighty dragon,
37
also fell into a lonely situation like Fanny.
38
The two of them became friends and spent their days together to alleviate their loneliness.
39
All hopes for Fanny's powers were gone.
40
Fanny has not been able to unlock her powers.
41
I am really worried that one day the Dark Tribe will come back to attack us
42
and we will not be able to defend ourselves.
43
As feared, the Dark Tribe eventually arrived and launched an attack on the Fairy Valley.
44
They captured many young fairies and their magical creatures to increase the strength of their Dark King and conquer the world.
45
Fanny, you must quickly flee from here.
46
You are the last hope of our entire community.
47
Because you do not have any powers yet,
48
the Demon King may not pay attention to you for now.
49
What should I do to save everyone?
50
You must quickly go to the highest mountain and find the Golden Compass,
51
a precious treasure of our fairy community.
52
When the compass turns, the demons will return to where they belong and we will be safe,
53
but be very careful as the demon soldiers are everywhere.
54
Fanny listened to the Flower Queen's words,
55
wiped away her tears, and ran as fast as she could out of the Fairy Valley.
56
My god!
57
You're running too fast for a little girl!
58
Did you forget to wait for me?
59
Let me help you protect the fairy valley!
60
Thank you for always being here with me.
61
As they were journeying together,
62
they were stopped by the demon soldiers who were eager to attack them.
63
In the face of danger,
64
Fanny quickly came up with a plan.
65
He threw a long vine up into the air and signaled to Callie,
66
who caught the vine in his claws and flew around,
67
tightly binding the demon soldiers together.
68
After successfully binding them, Fanny and Kelly quickly ran forward, continuing their journey.
69
They kept going and going until they finally reached the mountain.
70
Fanny disregarded the danger and climbed up the mountain.
71
However, as she was climbing,
72
the demon soldiers caught up to her and tried to stop her progress.
73
Kelly flew to her aid,
74
but his wing was caught by the demon's painfully.
75
Seeing her friend in danger,
76
Fanny acted without hesitation and jumped out to push the demon soldiers away from Kelly.
77
After saving Kelly, Fanny lost her balance and fell straight down the mountain.
78
As she was about to hit the ground,
79
Kelly spread his wings and flapped them wildly,
80
managing to catch Fanny and left them both up to the top of the mountain.
81
As they reached the top of the mountain,
82
both of them were breathing heavily and looked at each other with relief and joy that they had just escaped death.
83
As they quickly entered the cave,
84
they were enveloped by a cloud of poisonous smoke that made it difficult for them to breathe,
85
causing them to collapse on the ground.
86
Amidst the poisonous smoke, the demon soldiers intermittently appeared and disappeared,
87
trying to attack Fanny and Kelly.
88
Despite struggling to breathe, Kelly,
89
the small dragon, tried his best to protect Fanny.
90
He attacked the demon soldiers with his tail and wings,
91
causing the smoke and the demons to flee.
92
To activate the power of the compass,
93
you must sacrifice the most important thing in your life.
94
Remember this.
95
Fanny didn't understand the meaning behind the voice,
96
but the little dragon's face suddenly had a thoughtful expression.
97
We must quickly return to the fairy valley!
98
The tribe needs us!
99
As they returned home, Fanny was heartbroken to see the devastation and ruins everywhere.
100
Her beloved Flower Queen was weak and lying on the feet of the Demon King.
101
Fanny, filled with anger, rushed forward to fight the Demon King,
102
but was thrown back with a single stab of his hand.
103
Not going to give up,
104
Fanny continued to fight but was severely wounded by the Demon King.
105
As he was marking and prepared to deliver the final blow,
106
Kali flew in and caught her before falling to the ground.
107
Look at these two little friends protecting each other.
108
How touching!
109
Shall I send one of them ahead or let them both go together on their journey?
110
If you're so brave, come after me!
111
Don't you dare touch my friend again, you evil creature!
112
After speaking, Fanny struggled, holding the golden compass on her hand and hurried over to Callie,
113
embracing him tightly.
114
Fanny, do you remember the echoing voice in the cave?
115
So good that I am the most important thing to you.
116
I am happy to have been able to help you.
117
No, Caddy!
118
You can't leave me!
119
If possible, I am willing to lie down and take your place!
120
In that moment, the golden compass glowed and spun around,
121
enveloping Fanny in a powerful energy.
122
She transformed into a magnificent fairy,
123
radiating with beauty and grace.
124
By coincidence, the spirit animals that were previously captured by the Demon King also flew towards Fanny,
125
adding their strength to hers.
126
With her newfound power, Fanny flew into the sky
127
and used her strength to send the demon army back to where they came from and trapped them there forever.
128
After defeating the Demon King,
129
Fanny gently got to Kali's side and embraced him tightly.
130
Suddenly, the golden compass flew up into the air and shattered into pieces.
131
The fragments of the compass surrounded Kali and miraculously transformed him into a mighty and powerful adult dragon.
132
With the demon king defeated,
133
the fiery community could finally return to their peaceful and prosperous lives.
134
Vany asked the Flower Queen for permission to explore the world with Kelm,
135
starting their endless adventures together.
136
In the ancient Gemland, there was a mysterious cave,
137
the birthplace of talented gems with the task of protecting the peace of this place.
138
In particular, with the birth of Jasper,
139
a A person who was somewhat impulsive,
140
but always enthusiastic to help others,
141
together with a gentle, careful lapis,
142
gradually the beautiful friendship of the two best gem warriors also flourished and united in the fight against the demons.
143
Not only that, but they also possessed a great fusion ability,
144
a symbol of solidarity called Malachite.
145
One day, when the Malachite fusion wrote out demons in a forest,
146
they saved Jamie, who claimed to be the king of this land.
147
Thank you for saving me and everyone else.
148
This favor, I don't know how to return it.
149
I wish to be your friend.
150
Faced with the handsome and gentle boy,
151
Jasper and Lapis's hearts suddenly flutter and immediately return to their true form to talk to him.
152
This is the mission of gems like us.
153
And if we can be friends with you, we are always willing.
154
Thank you both very much.
155
Hmm...
156
However, day by day, Jasper and Lapis' feelings for Jamie deepened,
157
and neither of them gave up,
158
so they decided to confess to him together.
159
Huh?
160
I'm sorry, ladies.
161
Because my country has a rule,
162
each king can only marry one queen,
163
and that queen must be smart, strong, and...
164
Possess the Ring of Power,
165
which has the ability to control the power of the land in this forest.
166
However, this ring is located deep in the dark cave,
167
where it had many kinds of thorns,
168
illusions, scary surrounding it that ordinary people can't easily enter.
169
But I believe that with my magic,
170
I can get the ring, and become your wife.
171
Then Jasper and Lapis attempted to fuse into Malachite to make it easier to get there,
172
but they failed.
173
Maybe because the jealousy of love has created a competitive and disunity thought so we can't unite?
174
Well, if we can't fuse into Malachite,
175
let's use our own abilities to get the ring!
176
Soon, Jasper and Lapis reached the giant thorn forest,
177
the first gate to reach the dark cave.
178
However, no matter how hard they tried to overcome them,
179
the thorns grew more and more and created an illusion,
180
sending the two back to the starting point.
181
Suddenly, Lapis noticed the moving trees creating various paths that made them lose their way.
182
Well, if this land of thorns can't be crossed by going through it,
183
I'd better create a bridge of thorns across the air to cross it.
184
Think of it.
185
Lapis used her magic to make the thorn bigger,
186
spreading like a bridge to cross.
187
Not only that, but for fear that Jasper might catch up with her,
188
Lapis also cast a spell to make the surrounding thorns grow taller and stronger to block Jasper's way.
189
Sorry, Jasper.
190
Because I really love Jamie,
191
I have to apologize to you this time.
192
Disgusting!
193
If you still want to get Jamie, then don't blame me!
194
With that, Jasper turned out the flaming butterflies surrounding Lapis,
195
and then took the opportunity to rush forward.
196
Finally, that bridge also led to the Dark Cave,
197
where the Ring of Power was kept.
198
However, when Jasper was about to go in to get the ring,
199
she was stopped by a magical wall,
200
and at the same time,
201
the guardian god of the ring also appeared.
202
Little girls, you must be like many others,
203
want to come here to find the Ring of Power.
204
However, the owner of the ring must be a wise person.
205
So if you can answer this question of mine,
206
I'll let you in, and remember,
207
you only have one chance to answer.
208
I understand.
209
Please tell me the question.
210
What is underwater and on fire?
211
Not boiling, but only dry.
212
Standing full at night and hiding during the day.
213
What?
214
Eager to get inside, Lapis had already caught up.
215
Jasper hurriedly replied.
216
Is it a volcano?
217
I know firefly, not a...
218
Sorry, your answer is wrong.
219
Next person.
220
After the puzzle failed, Jasper looked sadly at Lapis,
221
who was also pondering the answer.
222
Well, I'm sure Lapis wouldn't know the answer either.
223
It's Inoila.
224
The one that Jasper gave me the first day we met!
225
The answer is absolutely correct.
226
Please come in.
227
The sentinel immediately turned out with flying stones that led to the Ring of Power, then disappeared.
228
I'm finally getting the ring, but why.. why do I feel so sad?
229
Is it because Jasper isn't around?
230
When Lapis was about to return to see Jasper's situation,
231
suddenly Jasper jumped up and used magic to control Lapis.
232
Jasper, let me go.
233
I don't want to hurt you.
234
No!
235
If I let you go, you'll have Jamie's love!
236
I- Because they were not paying attention during the scuffle,
237
the two of them accidentally caused the ring pillar to collide,
238
resulting in a big tremor in the cave.
239
This caused sharp stalactites to fall towards them,
240
as well as the ring of power.
241
Careful!
242
It was when Jasper reframed that she suddenly understood the urgency in front of her.
243
One side was her best friend Lapis,
244
who was about to fall into the thorn trap below,
245
and the other side was the ring that was in danger of being destroyed by a large rock.
246
While Jasper was about to choose the ring,
247
she accidentally saw her reflection on the ring pillar and was startled.
248
Why?
249
Why did I end up like this?
250
For a ring?
251
To abandon my best friend who is willing to sacrifice herself for my own sake?
252
No, I have to save her!
253
After contemplating what just happened,
254
Jasper decided to choose to save her best friend.
255
However, while Jasper was trying to pull Lapis' hand up,
256
someone suddenly jumped by, using the two as a springboard and keeping the ring safe.
257
I finally got the ring of power!
258
Jamie!
259
As it turned out, it was Jamie,
260
a demon disguised as a human,
261
who deliberately made use of the magic of Jasper and Lapis from the beginning to obtain the ring.
262
He had followed and watched Jasper and Lapis all the way here,
263
and waited for the opportunity to claim the treasure.
264
Disgusting demon!
265
Because of you, I almost lost my best friend!
266
We will definitely beat you!
267
That's awesome!
268
But now let's see how the magic of the ring will defeat the warriors of the Gemland!
269
Having said that, Jamie summoned his power and split Jasper and Lapis into two,
270
to prevent them from forming Malachite to defeat him.
271
Jasper and Lapis struggled, but the ring's magic was too great for them to turn the tide.
272
Lapis, I'm sorry for trusting a bad guy to treat you badly.
273
I was so immature and thoughtless that I acted so rudely.
274
Jasper, I'm also sorry for believing too much in love without thinking and accepting to confront you.
275
Although you can be quick-tempered and impulsive at times,
276
but your nature is a kind person who is enthusiastic to help people,
277
so I am very happy to be friends with you.
278
Even if I have to sacrifice,
279
I will still hold your hands tightly, like before.
280
Despite the magical distance created by Jamie,
281
Jasper and Lapis still manage to reach out their arms toward each other.
282
In the end, their powerful beams of light touched each other and helped them fuse into Malachite.
283
Jamie!
284
Give back the Ring of Power and surrender!
285
Well, even if you become Malachite, I won't lose easily.
286
Jaime used the Ring of Power to direct the sharp stones towards Malachite,
287
but was stopped by her.
288
Enraged, Jaime continued to summon flying rockbirds to ambush them,
289
and gradually caused Malachite to be repelled.
290
The power of the Ring is too strong.
291
We can hardly defeat him.
292
Even so, I believe we can still defeat him if we unite,
293
believe, and move forward together.
294
As soon as she finished speaking,
295
a light suddenly appeared in Malachite's hand and transformed into a bow of friendship.
296
Malachite watched with delight at the bow in her hand,
297
and then fired a composite arrow,
298
knocking down all the birds with Jamie with magical light.
299
No!
300
It's impossible!
301
No!
302
In the end, everything went back to the way it was before,
303
and so did the two girls.
304
Jasper, thank you for giving us hope to win over Jamie.
305
No, it should be thanks to both of us who have just experienced a valuable lesson about friendship
306
and knowing the value of trust, forgiveness, and mutual respect.
307
And now once again, let's be good friends.
308
Let's move forward and develop ourselves together.
309
Since then, Jasper and Lapis have continued to accompany each other on the next journeys.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud β like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1β2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency β making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
